Re-Invent With Caution!
So your looking to re-invent your look? Think your closet needs a kick-start? Before proceeding, make sure you're going to be adapting a look that your feel comfortable in. You might love the biker-chic look, but if you don't feel comfortable wearing it, nobody will buy it.

Find Your Inspiration!
Love Lauren Conrad's girly, Cali-cool street style? Want to steal Rooney Mara's "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" look? Find a celeb, TV/movie character to act as your inspiration and build off one of their looks. It'll keep your re-vamped wardrobe cohesive!
13:
Wrap It!
No matter what your style inspiration is, you will always need scarves! (Especially with fall around the corner and temps starting to cool off.) And besides coming in an assortment of colors and styles, many stores have scarve sales year-round so you can stock up!

Mash Up Your Makeup
A new makeup look is an instant way to re-invent your whole look without too much effort. Into au-naturale? Start sporting a bright lipstick. Intrigued by fall's dark color palette? Starting rocking a slate-colored smokey eye.

Mane Makeover
Allwomenstalk.com suggests cutting and dying your hair. But to prevent an over-the-top Miley Cyrus 'do, stick to a simple cut and semi-permanent highlights to decide if you like it or not.
10:
Change up your Scent
While you're adding new beauty supplies to your re-invented look, you might as well add a new perfume as well. Go to the perfumery and try out samples of new scents to see which new "it" smell works best for you.

Get Your Crafty On!
DIY is the best way to ensure that your re-invented wardrobe has individual pieces. Cut up some old baggy tee-shirts, sew new fabric onto your beaten-up Toms, or shred up on old top into a scarf.
8:
Host A Clothing Swap!
Are you more of a jeans-and-tee girl who wants to steal her best friends extra-girly wardrobe? Get a couple girls together--and have them bring friends too--to host a clothing swap. And that way, your friends can also help you put new outfits together.
7:
Donate Your Old Duds!
Doing a serious closet over-haul and don't have the funds for a too many new outfits? Hit up a Buffalo Exchange or Goodwill and trade in your old wears for cash/store credit. That way you can re-vamp your wardrobe in just one trip!
6:
Accessorize!
Instead of throwing out everything in your closet, simply update your basics with all new accessories. Jewelry and scarves can re-invent your look in multiple ways without breaking the bank.
5:
Be A Shoe-In!
Invest in one new pair of statement shoes. No need to unload your entire wallet on all new footwear; one stand-out pair of heels or boots will take you through one--maybe even two--seasons.

Color Me New!
The most simple way to re-vamp your look? Rock a new color palette! Whether it's this fall's so-in oxblood lipstick or a couple pieces in neon hues you've never worn before. (Just make sure to keep the color block complementary with your skin tone so you look like a fashion vixen, not a fashion victim.)
3:
Think Vintage!
A great way to re-invent your look is to take inspiration from generations past, instead of focusing too much on what's "in" right now. Think "Mad Men's" mid-60s mod style, boho 70s, or early 80s punk.

Don't Go Too Overboard!!
When you're starting out, trying one or two new things on at a time to prevent looking too costume-y. Then, by the time you're ready to go out, you'll have a more cohesive look put together.
