We’ve all had those days where we just don’t feel like putting in the effort, but here’s how to avoid the classic and ever so embarrassing,  “Awe are you okay? You look really tired today” when really it’s just your face. 
 
Lipstick 
 
Lipstick or a nice colored lipgloss somehow has the power to turn you into a Revlon model in 2 seconds, pretty sure it increases sassiness as well but that’s just a working theory. 
 
Maxi Skirts
 
Maxi skirts are women’s secret weapons to achieve yoga pant comfort while still looking dressy. This is a lifehack. You’re welcome. 
 
Scarves 
 
Winter scarves, summer scarves, whatever. Scarves have the power to dress up an outfit as simple as a tank top or long sleeve T-shirt and go well with a ponytail if your hair doesn’t love you back one day. 
 
Curls
 
A large curling iron can actually make your life much easier in the morning when you’re in a rush. A few, loose curls take about 5 minutes and cause a bunch of “OMG why do you look so cute today?” comments that are a lot better than “Oh.. Were you in a rush this morning?”
 
Jewelry
 
Having cute jewelry is a must because somehow when you put it on everyone’s like “No way, you didn’t try? But you have cute, shiny stuff dangling from your ears, neck, and arms. That’s effort!” (Ya, worded that way the concept of jewlery is weird.) 
 
Braids
 
Braids are cool because they don’t take long but also make you look like Rapunzel. Even braiding the front sections of your hair back transforms you from “just rolled out of bed” to “fairy princess.” I don’t know, it just does. 
 
So next time you’re running late or just not about spending time getting ready, take .5 seconds to put on lipstick or braid your hair. Or I guess if all else fails put a bag over your head and hope nobody recognizes you?
