Makeover Games for School

It’s almost August and that means that it’s prime time for makeover games. As the school year gets closer, it’s time to redefine my look for the year. I already got some great new glasses, but I want more than fun glasses – I want a snazzy new hairstyle and maybe some bold highlights as well. Then I need to go through my clothing to find the items I enjoy wearing and the ones that I’ve just been wearing because they are there.

It’s important to build up my wardrobe again because it’s so closely tied to how I feel about myself and how well I actually get through my school day. When I know I look great, I act that way. I’m more energized and have a spring in my step. When I’ve slapped together an outfit that’s not very attractive, even if it is functional, my overall image of myself hurts and I wonder why I even bothered to get dressed in the morning. It’s time to reclaim the image of who I want to be – this is the year to do it! 

The Makeover Games of the Summer

I love the summer months because it gives me time to really look at what I’ve been wearing and come up with a plan to dress up in the ways I actually like before the school year starts again. For example, I’ve been wearing the same pair of jeans for a year and they are really unattractive. They don’t fit very well, but when it came to makeover games, I simply didn’t have time to go and find some that looked great. Besides, I was just throwing t-shirts over the jeans so who cared?

Now that it’s summer, I’ve been able to go through my closet carefully as part of my makeover games and found the clothing that actually fits well and looks great. Those clothing items I’ve been wearing and they look amazing. The rest of the clothing that I sorted out won’t be going back into my closet for the school year. It’s time for a big donation to a charity – far better to have a small, carefully stocked wardrobe than one I hate because it’s all serviceable not pretty at all.
