This is a sponsored post on behalf of Sverve and Carefree® as part of their Carefree® Freshness Challenge. All opinions are mine.
Routine is a nice thing, but sometimes it gets just way too boring. So these are my favorites tips about how to keep your style fresh every day.
- Accessorize! Just a new necklace and bracelet and your outfit look new. I personally prefer accessories that have more of a timeless look and so I can wear them more then one season. You don´t have to spend fortune on accessories there are different stores and online stores that offer large variety of fashionable pieces to all tastes. Besides jewelry there are also shoes, bags, scarfs, hats, sunglasses, watches, belts which all give numerous ways to make your outfit look different and fresh every day.
- Add color! Whether with accessories that I already mentioned or with nail polish, eye shadow or lipstick. If you are not into bright nail colors then there are always pastel ones. If you are one of those who only wears pink or red on your nails then play with different shades and finishes of pink and red.
- Try nail art! You don´t have to be a nail art expert. Nowadays there are stickers, water decals etc that make adding something new and different to your nails easy! Also for nail art you don´t have to have long nails – nail art looks pretty on short nails too 😉
- Let some one else choose your outfit. At some stores there are stylists whom help you put together an outfit. Why not give it a go and let a professional fashion styilst help you. You might be surprised how good fitting pieces you can find thanks to this.
- Combine! Play around with your clothes and combine them. If you are out of ideas what to combine with what then ask your friends to help you. You might be surprised what kind of ideas they have and your style will look fresh again.
- Gather inspiration and ideas for your style! Check out fashion magazines, Pinterest boards and watch TV shows where people´s style is changed. My personal favorite TV show is What Not To Wear which gives great tips what to wear and tips on how to accessorize your look.

Could not agree more on routine getting boring, as much as I love routine. That little owl is too cute and boy, I thought I have too much stuff around my beauty drawer 🙂
Leelo says
😀 Oh this is just a little part of the stuff that I have in my makeup drawers 😛 I have way toooooo much beauty products 😀
Glasgow Skinner says
Great post. I love to accessorize

Thanks! 🙂
strangedazeindeed says
I love nail art and accessorizing! Great tips!
Chelle @ Oh Just Stop Already says
Love the tip on letting someone else pick your outfit. I let the hubs pick for date nights or days out on the town without the kids. Usually end up in the bedroom whining that I can’t pull it off and by the end of the day I’m in love with his choices.
Leelo says
😀 He must have great sense of style then 🙂
daydreamingbeauty says
Thanks for the great suggestions Leelo! I totally want to come play with your nail art tools! I need to figure out stamping soon. That’s my goal!
Leelo says
I have to work on my stamping too, because it still doesn´t come out as perfect as I like 😛
LisaLisa says
Great post and tips. I do agree about the same routine being boring I had to learn to change things up a bit and I’m glad I did. I’m surely a nail art kind of girl too, I love doing nails! Nail hint…toothpicks make great designs…lol
Leelo says
Yes they do and they have “saved” me a couple of times when I have forgotten my dotting tools home.
Patranila says
I love the idea of letting someone else choose your outfit. In-store shoppers, stylists, even bloggers are great for style inspiration!
Leelo says
They are!
Shannon Bradley-Colleary says
I absolutely looove your images. So much fun.
Leelo says
Thanks!
Gigi says
Accessories can really completely change an outfit — and it’s fun to mix expensive ones with something you found at a thrift shop! Great post – and I think the idea of letting someone else pick your outfit is genius – a great way to stop yourself from always going to that ‘go to’ outfit too!!
Leelo says
Thanks 🙂
Heather Pfingsten says
This post cracks me up because it is all so true! I am extremely low key when it comes to my sense of “style” … if one can even call it STYLE! I am not big into nails, jewelry, clothes … ANYTHING. My sister nags me to add a splash of color here, a necklace there, or to just paint my toenails when I choose to wear sandals. We are working on it. She also comes over and picks out my outfit anytime I am going out. It looks like I have some work to do. Great post!
Leelo says
Your sister sounds like a great person 😀 In my opinion style without color is still a style – a personal style. Even when wearing only black and white there are still ways to keep your style fresh.
Cynthia @ You Signed Up For WHAT?! says
I’m embracing accessories and other ways to change it up lately! I was so boring before with the same things over and over!
Danelle Ice (Home Ever After) says
Love your nail art collection! What are those blue zipper bags over on the right hand side?
Leelo says
In those bags are also water decals and some nail art studs.
Danelle Ice (Home Ever After) says
But what brand are the bags? Where did you buy them? I’d like to get some to organize my collection.
Leelo says
Those decals and studs came in those bags, so I´ve no idea where you can buy them
Danielle @ We Have It All says
Great tips! I love changing things up with accessories. You can make outfits very different, dress them up or down.
lilyseymour says
You’re very fashion forward! I see you’re also a girlie girl also and love all your makeup and nail polishes. I have quite the collection myself and isn’t it just the perfect hobby! Awesome post!
day2daywoman says
I have never really tried nail art. I am wondering if it really lasts longer than nail polish! Wow you do have an amazing make up collection. I am just beginning to build up mine. I will be sure to visit your page from time to time for tips! Thanks for sharing.
Leelo says
Thank you 🙂 Nail art doesn´t stay longer than nail polish, but at least it will look different and when you use those stickers or decals then you can achieve gorgeous result 🙂
Hina Naz (@sizzlinghinanaz) says
I am loving accessories and nail polished. Lively post.
rochkirstin says
I really want to try nail art by professionals in a salon. I will look for a good deal/promotion to make that happe and will be happy to report about the results soon. 🙂
Leelo says
That great idea! I used to have gel nails and different nail art looks done by professional a couple of years ago.
triathlonphilippines says
I will probably buy this accessorizes for my wife’s birthday this month

Accessories and colors can really freshen up your look. It would also be nice to experiment on different outfits.

Loudthinkin says
Love all the ideas Leelo..I agree that a little bit of accessorising can considerably enhance the look!
phyliciamarie says
Among all your tips, the one I most abuse is to accessorize! Kudos to Carefree for this campaign so girls will be aware to keep their style fresh!
Leelo says
This is great campaign and during this 30 day campaign I myself have read great tips about how to keep your workout, everyday life etc routines fresh.
Vanessa Ally says
You look so stylish on all of your photos, so I really find your tips helpful, as I am trying to keep my style up to date, and I love your suggestion about bringing color in our outfits!
BeautyAsti1 says
A normal routine is boring!
I like your style, btw.. We can make different style with adding a scarf of changing the shoes, or bag, or hairstyle, great post and nice campaign. Good luck!
Karen of MrsLookingGood says
Love your post! Agree that accessorizing is a fantastic way to enhance the outfit and to look more polished. I have not tried nail art, maybe because of my age.
Agree on using color! In fact, I live by this rule. The last thing I wear is black on my daily outfits. I do wear them but if I find myself reaching for something black, I stop myself and put on clothes with tons of color and prints.
Leelo says
😀 I tend to wear too much black, but at least there is always something colorful on my nails.
Joanna Sormunen says
It’s true that new combinations and accessories can totally change an outfit or a piece of clothing. Great post!
MapleMouseMama says
Great tips for staying fresh! I will have to try letting my kids pick out my clothes once in awhile and see how that turns out, lol
Papaleng Pagulong says
My wife should read this post. Letting someone pick your clothes is a good idea . Still accessorizing adds glitters to your outlook.
Eliz@MirthandMotivation says
I know my style and I’m pretty clear about what looks good on me, but it’s a good idea to let a stylist suggest ideas that we might miss. Of course, it’s even better when the person is a professional or a savvy friend.
Karen says
Yes, I believe sometimes you need to ask others like your friends or mom, on what outfit is good for you.
Michelle @ Life on the Horizon says
I love the accessories! I’m working at getting bolder at combining items for a unique outfit!
