Hair parted down the middle, shirt tucked neatly in skirt, heart pendant moms gave you, sandwich in foil and it's off to the office! Uhhh hi, its 2009, even the fashionably handicapped has gotten a grip on upping the look unless you are a ...

Right, so you shouldn't have to dress your rass off like lil missy in Accounts with the carnival make-up, nonetheless, how about some quick-easy ways to stop fading into the beige of your beige cubicle with the beige shutters?

First off, do something with that hair. Up for some colour? Try a darker shade before going buckwild, deep brown or burgundy highlights is safe enough and don't be afraid to shape the edges a bit while at the salon, even my grandmother refuses to wear a bob; well if I had a grandma I'm sure she'd refuse anyway. And enough with the Rupunzel piece! Sure all the girls are jealous of your flowing long hair, with their short foxy fad hairstyles but spruce it up a bit ay. Toss some rollers in there before bed or dust off the curling iron and spend 10 minutes in the morning brining it to life.

Next up, honestly what do you think about your wardrobe? No need to leave a self loathing response on the comment space below, but think about it. We've done enough pieces here on TriniPULSE for you to get a grip but throw some colour in there, layer up, tone on tones, sharp cuffs, pencil skirts, belts, scarves, mittens, ok no, no mittens. Accessorize, hopefully not the huge shell wearing stuff, but add some spunk, some personality.

Shoes, a major make-it-or-break-it wardrobe item; forget Payless sensible loafers and reach for a pair of sensible heels: pointed, squared toed, a strap or two, all okay for the office, well its okay at mine anyway you better toe your line.

Make up? So maybe your mom and/or pastor convinced you it's only for sluts and sinners, you'll probably burn in hell just for reading this. Otherwise, a touch of lip-liner, lip gloss, some foundation and powder is all you need, basically. Lip-liner is good as it defines and perfects the shape of the lips and a lil gloss never hurt nobody. Lip liner and lip gloss/lipstick should be similar tones, unless you're a clown - black and red, black and burgundy, black and pink, black in general is actually not hot.

Shape your eyebrows, an often forgotten bit but this gives a nice complete finish ehmmm and not you with a razor blade eh, it's worth the $15. Look at you! Looking better already.  

Add some banging shades, a smile, put some ‘pep in ya step' and you'll no longer have to pack that homemade sandwich. Either you start squandering your money in the food court with other burgundy haired girls or the guys into lip gloss start bringing you lunch! Either way a happier you, yeah?
