November Style Tips

Fight the gray by adding one very bright accessory to every outfit! I like sunshiney yellow, coral, or a really ultra violet kind of pink!
Save your hair for the week and make a pact - no heat or product! Go for fishtail braids, pin curls, or creative hair accessories.
Buy yourself a few brightly colored petticoats and be colorful even underneath! They'll be a fun addition only you know about, and can be pressed into service for fairy-kei if you like.
Sparkle up a set of lace tights... I love these, even prettier than adding lace appliques to plain nylons!
Make it your mission to find one fascinating ring for each finger - sweets rings, giant cocktails, rings with letters, anything! Wear them all at once like a rock star.
Hoodies - the hooded sweatshirt - is invaluably soft and comfortable, but not always very cute. Get yourself a plain one from a craft store and decide what it needs - an applique, embroidery? Giant rhinestones?! - And make it work with the rest of your wardrobe.
Become a regular at your local bakery, enough to give recommendations. You might make friends with the bakery staff, and at the least you'll learn about different kinds of pastries or bread. Today's cake slice from our local bakery, La Palette, was cherry gateau with real whipped cream!
Want snow, but looking at bare lawns and trees? Cut out a set of paper snowflakes. In the middle of a lovely spring? Use folded paper to cut strings of dolls, heart or stars as streamers, to hang in your room or to surprise a friend with.
Leave post-its on public restroom mirrors that say, You Are Beautiful. Decide to be an agent of Operation Beautiful.

Candy's petticoat collection makes me crave more! I recently purchased a giant cupcake petticoat so I can have the poof-factor I have always desired...however, coloured petticoats would be lovely too.

@Himemiya: I think what they mean by 'fat talk' is negative, down talk about yourself or others - using the terms about weight as something wrong. I don't think that admitting things are a different size is fat talk - sometimes even I get things in the mail that don't fit! But it's not about your size, it's about being healthy & finding yourself as beautiful... and using Operation Beautiful to do the same.

I'm from MN, I'm not ready for snow hehe, but November is a rather dreary time, and that's a great idea to make it a little more joyous!^^
