Whether we like to admit it or not, we all know that there is a connection between looking good and feeling good. Stepping out into the world with our best faces on can give us a powerful sense of confidence, a self-esteem boost that can benefit many aspects of our lives - from our social interactions to how we go about our jobs.

Russian stylist Alexandr Rogov knows this and has set off on a tour of his huge country, transforming the looks of people who can only dream of the luxury boutiques of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Rogov is out to prove that style and fashion comes from the right choices and a little creativity, not just how much money you are able to spend!

Scroll down below to see some of Alexandr and his team's most impressive transformations so far, and let us know what you think in the comments!

"I used to be one of the biggest fashion stylists in Russia," Alexandr told Bored Panda. "I worked for fashion magazines, with Russian and international designers and big brands like Dior and Chanel."

"Then I got an invitation to work on TV as a presenter and stylist in a makeover show, and so I began my career on TV. I worked on TLC, MTV, TNT and now I am on CTC, the main entertainment channel of Russia."

She looks very cool, her hair suits her very well! Glad to see some wrinkles: they show she's lived!

Think the spotty, bowed shoes are an overkill next to a spotty skirt but other than that she looks so chic.

Alexandr has a background in education, and he still takes the time to conduct lectures and master classes on fashion and style in Moscow and the regions. He takes his work seriously, and seeks a deeper meaning in fashion than the glitz and glamor of glossy magazines. "I try to explore the best side of women," he continues. "I help them to find the better side of themselves. I am not styling only to make a show- I am styling them for real life. I am not only a stylist - I work as a psychologist too!"

What is Alexandr's favorite, most satisfying aspect of his job? "I most enjoy the moment when I open the mirror and see my client's reaction to her new look."

"It is the most incredible feeling!"

I actually like the dress she had on first, but the hair is a major improvement

I like the dress too, but I don't think it fit her body shape. She needs dresses that flow more loosely below the chest.

Stark black and white is too harsh for anyone her age. The burgundy brings colour and life to her face.

She looks amazing...but the before hair...does she not have a family member to tell her...hey let's do something with your hair. I always tell my daughter to tell me when mine is getting out of control and she always does, I don't get mad, I just try and fix it!

I am really noticing how much a difference it makes to pay attention to clothes that flatter your figure/build. That seems to be at least 50% of the improvement I'm seeing.

The before dress should have been the after dress. The after outfit looks like velvet nightmare that George Costanza would wear. Her hair transformation is the star of the show in this one.

The before dress does not flatter her figure as well as the after outfit. It doesn't have to be velvet, but that style gives her a more balanced look, imo.

Every BEFORE picture is a mug shot, no smile, shoulders square with the camera, & poor lighting. Not a true apples & apples.

Great outfit & great haircut. That's how you rock a shaved head as a woman.

Like the new outfit and it suits her really well. The hair is too high on a long face. Needs width.
