How To Feel Put Together Every Day


 

Accessorize A Bun
This is an easy and inexpensive way to make a running-for-the-door hairstyle classier and more fun. Try these Water Lily Clips from Anthropologie for $15




Throw on a Blazer
This can instantly dress up a plain tank top and jeans, just like Kate Moss did above. Try one in a fun color like this Schoolboy Blazer in Wool Flannel from J.Crew for $188 (and the wool is perfect for winter weather!). 


Keep Up Your Manicure
This is by far one of the easiest things that you can do, plus the process is kind of fun. In order for your mani to last as long as it can, make sure to add a great top coat over your color. Check out my favorite brand, Essie, and their hundreds of colors. 





Splurge On Accessories
Think timeless, not trendy. Try to avoid large gaudy labels like the huge Chanel C's or flashy prints if you are going to splurge. Because wouldn't you rather pay $300 for a black leather everyday purse than a glitter clutch that you maybe take out once a year? Get your money's worth! If your feet can take it (and it's appropriate for your lifestyle) try and wear heels whenever you can, they are an instant outfit maker. 3 inches is the ideal heel height you should look for. Kate Spade makes great quality bags that are always classy like their Mott Street Fisher bag that goes for $345.




Pile On The Bracelets
Make sure that the bracelets are thin and in neutral colors so they can match with everything. These bangles from Chamak by Priya Kakkar are great, plus they are on sale for $35 from an original price of $80!


Keep Up Your Complexion 
Not only does it look good, but it makes you feel good too! Not sure what the right cleansing routine is for you? Take this quiz  by clicking on the Skincare Consultation Box on the left hand column on the skincare portion of the Sephora website to find the right routine for you! 




Glam Up Your Makeup Routine
This is another small thing that can just make you feel more put together. Something as simple as splurging on a fancy powder compact can make you want to show off that mirror whenever you take it out, like this Estee Lauder 'Prosperity' Powder Compact that retails for $75 at Nordstrom.
