As a girl, I know that choosing an outfits and applying make up is 90% the reason why we're usually late to school. You want to look pretty and make a good impression based on what you wear and how you look, and you are confused because you have a wardrobe full of clothes ahead of you and you don't know what to wear. The anxiety kicks in and you stress out. You often end up screaming that you don't have anything to wear, and you cry, and the day is ruined for you.
We all have been there.
Not anymore, I hope, because today I'm trying to make choosing your school outfits easier.
Your outfits/make up essentials:
If you're a highschool student, I assume you have to wear the uniform. Sucks, I know. It's ugly and oppressive. But you can still rock it.
If you're not a hijabi, this should be slightly easier for you. You want to go fr something simple but still pretty.
- First of all, your make up
Note that your skin doesn't need foundation that will ruin it later. If you have flawless skin, good for you. Keep it that way, don't wear make up. If you have spots or uneven skintone, we want to let you know that EVERYONE goes through that. Make up will make it worse. However, if you are unsecured about it, go for foundation and/or powder. Choose one that matches your skintone. If you have dark circles under your eyes, use a concealer (obviously). FYI: youcan use concealer to hide any spots or bottons instead of foundation and powder.
For your eyes, mascara and/or eyeliner would be more than enough.
If you have a problem applying your eyeliner, here's a tutorial:
So basically, go for something light and simple. You don't want to over-do it and get sent to the principle's office if you're in highschool, and you want something practical and easy to apply if you're in college because we all know you don't have time, and we won't blame you.
- Your hair/ your scarves
Keep it simple. a high ponytail is chic, so is a messy bun or a braid.
For your scarves, go for printed, colored and bright when it's warm. Go for something darker when it's winter. Dark green, Navy blue and dark red are the best of winter colors.
- Shirts
Go for colors. Not bright pink or screaming red colors. You can choose the colors you wear bazed on the season. If it's spring/almost summer time, go for pastel colors.
If it's getting chilly and cold, go for darker colors.
Prints are also a good option, as long as you're not wearing another printed peice of clothing. You don't want to look rediculous.
- Jeans
Many people forget that jeans NEED TO BE CHANGED! Seriouly, don't wear the same jeans for two weaks. Please. Just don't.
Buy five jeans and match them with your outfits.
- Jackets and coats
A jacket can add a nice touch to your outfits. A coat is a winter essential, two should be enough to last you a whole winter.
Here's what we suggest. Make a schedual with all the outfits you'll be wearing. Make it in the weekends and prepare tomorrow's outfits at night. It might sound like something dull, but it really helps you start your day with a smile, not worrying about your clothes.
Have a good school year everybody. Work hard.
