This is the time when we&#8217;re all envisioning a better version of ourselves \u2014 with just a few lifestyle tweaks, we&#8217;re healthier, fitter, and more stylish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there&#8217;s a recurring problem with new year&#8217;s resolutions. If we set the bar too high, we lose focus before reaching those goals. It&#8217;s human nature: people only stay motivated to goals that seem achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work-around is simpler than you might think. For every goal you have in this new year, look for fast, short-term wins that&#8217;ll keep you moving in the right direction. A few quick style and beauty updates, for example, will scratch the itch today \u2014 making it easier for you to stick to your style goals as you evolve your wardrobe and beauty regimen over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCincyLifestyle%2Fvideos%2F324775678130460%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need some inspo for those quick style wins, read on. I&#8217;ve got five easy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/wardrobe-update\/\">affordable ways to update<\/a> your style below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Go bold with accessories <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"1128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/teddy-bear-scarf.jpg\" alt=\"Catherine Brock wearing teddy bear style scarf\" class=\"wp-image-120556\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/teddy-bear-scarf.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/teddy-bear-scarf-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/teddy-bear-scarf-668x1024.jpg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve resolved to get out of the jeans-and-sweater rut and dabble more in the trends, think bold accessories. Winter is the ideal time for this, too. You can pick up a couple of textured fur collars or stoles \u2014 these will update even the drabbest of your sweaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"1128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/printedflats.jpg\" alt=\"leopard print flats\" class=\"wp-image-120557\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/printedflats.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/printedflats-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/printedflats-668x1024.jpg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A bold, <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/how-to-break-in-new-shoes\/\">new pair of shoes<\/a> can also revive your basic outfits. Flats are perfect candidates. They&#8217;re inexpensive and the subtle silhouette gives you tons of leeway to choose a wild pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/how-to-wear-animal-print-2\/\">animal print<\/a> fits right in with the current trends. Leopard is my choice for this season. The big cat design is having a moment right now, but it never really goes out of style either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Change your shampoo <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"1128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair1.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Catherine Brock&#039;s hair\" class=\"wp-image-121123\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair1.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair1-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair1-668x1024.jpg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><figcaption>Formulate customized shampoo has made a huge difference in my hair!

It doesn&#8217;t matter how chic an outfit is, a bad hair day is the worst accessory ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My fix for this is customized shampoo by Formulate. In truth, I wouldn&#8217;t have tried Formulate shampoo and conditioner if I hadn&#8217;t gotten a free sample. But I&#8217;ve been using it for two months and I cannot \u2014 will not \u2014 live without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how Formulate works. You complete a short survey about your hair troubles, and Formulate sends you a specialized formula to address those needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"491\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/FormulateApp.png\" alt=\"Screenshot from Formulate customized shampoo\" class=\"wp-image-120561\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/FormulateApp.png 491w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/FormulateApp-300x184.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><figcaption>My <a href=\"https:\/\/www.formulate.co\/join\/invitation\/52NRT6XWX4 \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Formulate<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> hair goals.

Try hair makeup <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"1128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair2.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo Vibes hair makeup\" class=\"wp-image-120555\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair2.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair2-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hair2-668x1024.jpg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><figcaption>Tokyo Vibes Hair Color, $35, Shu Uemara Art of Hair<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as you may want a drastic hairstyle change, New Year&#8217;s is not a good time to do it. Because that ultra short hair cut or Audrey Hepburn bangs cannot be easily undone when the resolution rush wears off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, try experimenting boldly without commitment. Shu Uemura Hair Makeup gives you a new dimension of color that washes out with only one shampoo. I like the gold for my hair, but you can have some fun with the blue or pink formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you really want that drastic cut, try a wig or clip-on bangs first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Get a face lift (Not really)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"1128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/purattitude-1.jpg\" alt=\"3 packages of Purattitude Insta-results face lift gel \" class=\"wp-image-120553\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/purattitude-1.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/purattitude-1-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/purattitude-1-668x1024.jpg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><figcaption> Insta-Results Face Lift Gel, $65, Purattitude<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A new beauty serum can replenish and revive your skin, but the results are usually slow enough to be imperceptible. A temporary tightening formula, though, can jumpstart that process and provide a quick confidence boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purattitude&#8217;s Insta-Results Face Lift Gel is my choice in this category. It&#8217;s a little splurgy for sure, and another product I may not have tried if I hadn&#8217;t  gotten a free sample first. Now it&#8217;s on my must-have list, and I use it every time I go on TV. (Because they say the camera adds 10 lbs, but I think it actually adds 10 years!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
