After half the holiday (event), change into a lens. This can be done in the bathroom or in a "calm" place where no one should hurt you during this process.
A manicure is best done in white or red. Do not let go of long nails - this reduces the effect of the image and modernizes it. This also applies to shoes - do not wear long-heeled shoes or high boots. Give preference to shoes or shoes.
A brooch in the form of flattering insects (butterfly, dragonfly and others) is an excellent solution that adds grace and elegance to any girl, regardless of her image.
