There is ALWAYS time for Fashion!

Welcome to my blog!  I have been inspired to start this blog with tips and ideas about my favorite thing, fashion.  I hope you find my posts to be funny, yet helpful!  So here we go!!


There is ALWAYS time for Fashion!

My fashion motto has always been “it’s better to arrive late than to arrive ugly!”  This phrase is pretty cute, but is also very true.  Being a girl who has always had an admiration for getting dolled up, I have been late for many occasions.  However, dressing up is a total confidence booster for me.  I don’t know about you, but I haven’t heard many girls in sweats or lounge-wear say “oh I feel spectacular today!”  That’s because they didn’t put in the extra effort to make themselves look their best. 

I’m not saying wearing sweats around the house is a bad thing; I actually recommend it when you have no plans for the day. Although, when it comes to school, work, social activities and just being in the public eye, fashion is key!

Getting dolled up isn’t always easy, especially when it could cause you to be late!  I’ve been told, countless times, that there is just no time for dressing pretty.  Each time I think to myself of the many ways we as busy girls can make time for fashion, and confidence.  So, for my first blog entry, I wanted to list my tips for successfully styling up your day!

1) Pick out your outfits for the week the Sunday before. I always pick them out Sunday because that is my laundry day, and it’s a less hectic day. Perfect for planning!  
2) Set aside some other outfits that you might like instead, in case of a fashion emergency!  Sometimes when you wake up, you just don’t like what you picked out almost a week in advance.  Having extra outfits will help you stay on time in the morning.
3) The night before, lay out your jewelry and shoes for the next day along with the outfit.
4) Also, before you go to bed, think of how you want to fix your hair for the next day.  This will help you decide when to set your alarm so you can accomplish that ballerina bun or teased bump.
5) Set an alarm, or two, or three. If you can’t wake up to the first one, like me.
6) When you wake up, give yourself a minute to really wake up.  Even if it takes away from your getting ready time, you need to really wake up to get motivated to dress up.
7) Put on your outfit and accessories before your makeup.  Nobody likes a foundation stain rubbed on their white shirt! This not only causes frustration, but also delays you. So, wait to put on your makeup until you’re dressed.
8) Fix your hair the way you planned.  Switching your hair idea for the day can be a good idea, but might also cause you to lose time. Go with your gut!
9) Put on your shoes and do a final check.  Did you forget an earring or do you have mascara clumps? Fix it while you still can!
10) Go have a confidence filled day! You deserve it!

Stay Sassy,
Fashionably Sassy and Stylishly Classy
