Every lady wants to look polished and chic throughout the day. It is not too pleasant to look good at the start of your working day only to look tired with your makeup and hair messed up by late afternoon. Here are 5 simple and quick ways to look and feel polished.

Color-Coordinated Outfit It is not necessary to match your entire outfit from head to toe. You can match our belt with your shoe, or your hand bag with your shoe, it could also be the colour of your lipstick with your hair band, bag or shoe. Whichever one you choose can really brush up your look. Sometimes, you don’t necessarily have to match any fashion accessory; it could just be a touch of red, pink, blue or any bright colour just to brighten your whole outlook.

Maintain Your Manicure Chipped nails send a clear message; you're not mindful of your appearance. At least a weekly upkeep will do. And also choose colours which will brighten your nails and also matches and flatters your skin complexion. With this, you are good to go. Same goes with your eyebrows. If you trim them, do that regularly especially when the hairs start growing back. This will give your face a neat look.

Indulge In Accessories Think timeless, not trendy. Such accessories include bags, purses or clutches, earrings, shoes, necklace and so on. As for shoes, go for 3 inches or at least an inch high shoe to make you stand upright and lengthen your legs. It also makes you look smart and as the popular belief, it makes you ‘count your step’ when walking thus making you look more like a lady.

Refine Your Outlook Nothing says "I'm tired" like a dull, uneven looking makeup. Do a little makeup touch up after lunch. If you are not a makeup person, then apply either a lip balm or lip gloss to keep you looking polished.

Keep Your Hair Intact Pony tails, pin up hairs shouldn’t always be done in a smooth manner. Sometimes, a loose, effortless-looking chignons pined up with chic brooches at will, make the look complete. Twist hair into a knot, fasten, and then clip your jeweled piece into the side. For extra security, slide a few bobby pins under the closure.
Always have a small tail comb, pins and hair clips or broaches in your cosmetic bag. This will definitely come in handy when you least expect.
