How to look put together even though you don't have much time?

I am one of those people who wants to look good, but I am just to lazy to spend more than an hour to look good. I want to get the job done in 10 minutes max! (I want to sleep as long as possible)

So I have searched the internet for some people giving tips, but there weren't a lot of things to find.

So here are my tips I learned from watching other people who I thought looked stunning, and it looked like they put a lot of effort in their look, but it was just their signature look.

So here we go:

The clothes:

This is the most important step because from here, we built the rest of our look.
I have 2 options for this look;

All black:



My tip is when you go in 1 color: is a skinny jeans and a looser top. So that it "breaks" the look. Audrey Hepburn was one of these icons that really pulled off this all black look and she looked so sophisticated!


Pop of color:



Like you can see, we have the skinny jeans and a looser top with a nice print and some colors on it. You can also do it visa versa, with a oldschool 60's pants and a tight top.


The accessories:

When you use accessories, you trick people, it looks like you had the time to pick out certain items with care.

Earings:


Little earings with diamons or pearls. It makes you look sophisticated. Big earings tend to look "cheap' even when they are expensive.

 


Necklace:

For the necklace we have 2 options: the bigger, the better: or the so called Statement Necklace or a little thin necklace matchin your earrings.

The statement necklace: 


Or the smaller necklace: 





Watch/bracelet:

I would say wear a watch, it makes you look professional. But I often forget this. :)
I always wear a little bracelet too, but you can skip this when you are already wearing the watch.





The hair:

For the hair: you can straighten or curl it, if you have time, but otherwise: get your hair out of your face.

The fast options:

High ponytail




Low ponytail with middle part:





The face:

Choose neutral make-up. I prefer to have my eyes be the center of attention, some people choose to have their lips. So choose wisely.



The shoes:

High heels:

Black! It goes with everything. I prefer a pointy toe, because it looks more elegant.




Flats: 

Go for black flats with a little detail that makes them more special.



The jacket:

In not-so-cold weather:


Leather jacket, do I need to say more?



Cold weather:


Do it like Kim K, she rocks the long coats:



Beauty "gurus" on youtube...

Hi everyone,

Today, as I was surfing the web and watching Youtube videos on 'How to get ready fast' and 'Quick hairstyles in the morning'. I was so dissapointed. Not only were most of the videos sponsered with tons of products I absolutely do not have time to use in the morning. The video I saw about the hairstyles was so fake aswell, the 'morninghair' of the girl was already curled, so a lot of easier to work with.

So now I'm really thinking, do these girls realize how stupid they make themselves look? I mean come on, I get it, they get their money from the sponsored videos, but don't put it in these videos. All the people watching this want to know how to get ready fast, not how you put on tons of things on your face.

But maybe that's just me.

I just felt the need to say this, because it is getting out of hand.
