I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, getting ready and looking pulled together in a short amount of time has been something I’ve worked hard at since becoming a mom. I always feel good about myself when I feel put together, so over the past few years I’ve come to streamline that process by relying on some tricks, tools, and products that make getting ready easy less of a challenge. So today I’m sharing the 4 tips and tricks below…..
Hair: Simple Half Up Top Knot
I’m notorious for going several days (ok, 5) without washing my hair… I’ve always believed that a good dry shampoo, a few curls, and a cute style can lengthen the time between washes. Less washing, more time. One of my favorite styles is the half up top knot…. which I’ve worn several times over on instagram, and have since had requests to do a tutorial. I put together a quick one below. You’ll want this volume powder + this un-done texturizing spray.
Make-Up: Glow
My make-up, on a daily basis, is simple and I could probably do it with my eyes closed. My one criteria is that I like it to look “fresh” and “glowing.” When skin glows, I feel like it makes me look as if I’m more refreshed than I really am (and who doesn’t want that??!). My favorite products to achieve this look quickly are this face primer, under-eye brightening concealer, soft light brightening powder, and this shimmering perfecter pressed powder… toss on a little mascara (this is my favorite) and I’m ready to head out with a glowing look…..
Outfit: Keep It Simple
I’ve always found that the simplest outfits always look the most effortlessly pulled together. For the fall season I recommend a perfect fitting pair of jeans (just got these and I’m obsessed) that you can easily fully tuck in a basic white tee, toss on a cute utility jacket (just got this in the mail yesterday, 40% off), and a go to pair of kicks (or these mules) and you’re ready in a snap. Also, all of these pieces can easily mix and match with other fall staples, so it makes getting ready a seamless process.
Accessories: Dainty Jewelry
My go-to way to pull any outfit together is by tossing on my favorite dainty gold jewelry. Gorjana has always been a favorite for everyday pieces. I wear these dainty gold studs (on sale) daily, star necklace, charm necklace, crescent necklace, and bangle are for my current favorites.
And that’s it…. my four easy ways to look pulled together, even if on the inside I’m a hot mess! Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend… enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!
