Last- Minute Inspiration

First let me start off by saying that in no way am I able to offer any fashion or beauty advice. I love shopping, reading fashion blogs, and keeping up with the most current trends but that is really as far as it goes. To be honest, I am afraid to try most trends. However, I know that Endo pain really gets us down a lot and worrying about our outfit is not always a top priority – so I wanted to help!

Personally, I am guilty of hitting the snooze button until the last possible minute. Even before I was diagnosed with Endo, I had trouble sleeping. I work nights, and twelve hour shifts. I also live in sunny Phoenix, so trying to sleep in the daytime is rather difficult to say the very least. Combine trying to sleep in the daytime in bright sunshine, while in constant pain and the odds aren’t in my favor. When I finally do get some shut-eye, it feels like the alarm on my cell phone is waking me from my slumber. This is why I decided to put a blog together on ready-to-wear, plan-ahead outfits and quick beauty advice. 

I suggest having a couple of outfits neatly folded on a hanger and ready to go in case you are having trouble deciding on an outfit. Make sure any ironing is done ahead of time. I always seem to be getting ready at the last possible minute, so this comes in handy often.

Outfit #1: All Black. Wear a pretty black top with great black bottoms. Add a pop of color to the all-black ensemble with colorful shoes. I suggest leopard print anything – but that is because I am a little too obsessed. Leopard print shoes (like Forever 21's booties or flats) go with anything so they are a wise investment. Did I mention leopard print is sexy?

Outfit #2: All White. Ladies, please. Ignore that silly statement about “no white after Labor day!” White is NOT just for summertime. Now that I got that off my chest, let me just tell you that I think fresh whites are gorgeous. To add a little bit of color, mix it up with a colorful scarf (like the one pictured below from H&M)or a bright statement necklace. You can also spice up your look with a printed blazer. Adding a faux-fur vest is another option of adding a neutral color to the ensemble. 

Other outfit ideas can be created from combining leggings, colorful skinny jeans, cozy knitted sweaters, blazers, faux-fur vests, seen here, and an ever-popular pair of booties or knee high boots!

Keep your make-up routine simple and just add some powder or bronzer with mascara. If you think you need more of a pick-me-up, finish your look with a bold lip.

As far as hair goes, stick to low or high buns. High ponytails are very cute, but my personal favorite is a quick braid – which does not have to be perfect!  Also, invest in a good dry shampoo – I can’t stress it enough. It will quickly become your new best friend! Besides, no one wants to leave the house with wet hair!

If all else fails, just throw your belongings in an amazing designer handbag, like anything Michael Kors!Let it be the focus point of your fab outfit! :)
