And a very special irish glass - I am not sure exactly what it is - maybe someone can inform me

Outfit Analysis:

What worked: The green skirt and the red scarf really spoke to me and white provided nice netural. AND I tried "Scarf belting in trend" (Yay me!). I love how Lydia and Love, Ramsey wears them so beautifully! :)

TIPPY TUESDAYS #10 - Fake the look of beauty sleep

Happy Tuesdays folks!

I mean there are several benefits to sleeping proper hours but you know sometimes life comes between and we don't get good sleep - the following some simple tips will help you look put-together and look more revived. So here we go:

FASHION:

1. Put on a bright colored top/dress/jacket to put some life and energy to your face :) Its funny how all of us look nicer in different colors so try it out. 

2. If you are not really in the mood for colors, you can always put on a chunky color beaded necklace (The Bigger the better) on a black/white neutral top. If not necklace, put on earrings - like vibrant colors or the crystals studs - kinda like people put on nice jewellery when they are going out somwhere - it makes you feel special and It will make you look a little put together! :)

HAIR:

1. Also think about wearing your hair up in a bun/pony tail/messy bun - whichever way you like. It kind of forces people to notice your features and look up in the eye. Once your hair is up and done, its done! You know its tempted to let hair down and cover the face with bangs and such. But if you really pull the hair back you will feel more awake.
2. Try putting nice colorful flower pins or headbands in hair - it feels all girl-ish and put together in no effort really!

MAKEUP:

1. Concealer is so important. I think for most people its in their everyday routine. I use Maybelline Dream Mousse, try to put it all the way up to your lashes. Trust me, if you cover to the top area where the lashes kinda start- it will look nicer and I learned this trick from a magazine. Dont just cover where its dark, go to the very top! You will look polished if you do that. (Check out My Most Used Products post to check out what other products I use in my morning routine)
2. Use the lightest colored eye shadow all over the lid. Try to stay away from the dark/deeper shades. Use masacara and curl those lashes - makes your eyes look awake.
3. Try using white eye-liner on the lower waterline. If white is too much, try peachy shade or beige color - will cover up all the redness
4. This one is my favourite - put on blush on those cheeks - i love coral blush from ELF. I use it almost everyday. It contributes to the glow on your face. You can use the red, pink hues types, whatever you like :)
5. Lipgloss does wonders toogain, I am not trying to say don't get as much sleep or look these are the alternatives to sleep. Because I think sleep is really important but I know sometimes even when I do have great sleep, I don't look well-rested you know.  These were just some of the ways to perk yourself up and on your way to have a better day.

What is your tip for looking awake for days - when you haven't rested well but still look put together? 

Coral Goes with Khakhi - doesn't it?

Dress - Suzy Sheir, Necklace: F21, Tights: F21, Heels: Payless, Ring: F21

(Confession: yes half of my closet is from F21)

This dress has pockets - i can put everything in them that I need- love multi-functional pieces ya know.

If you havent noticed, I am loving my copper kitten heels; I have worn them ALL LAST WEEK- they are so comfy, not usual for Payless I tell you.

A co-worker told me she wouldn't necessarily wear the coral necklace I have paired with my khakhi dress if she was wearing my outfit....but she wasnot wearing  my outfit! I love this necklace and will wear coral as I wish. Ha!

No, I didnt tell her that. I had to maintain my professionalism.

Outfit Analysis:

What worked: The dress! With cute khakhi print with pockets - HELLO? a good find or what?

What didn't: Wish I could show you my sexy legs but forgot to shave the night before - tights saved me in the morning.

What do you look for when buying dresses?

My go-to shopping outfit

Coral shirt: Thrifted, Jeans: Thrifted, Heels: ALDO, Necklace: Thrifted

(WHOA! - Thrifted outfit or what?! - pure awesomness)

One of those days when you dont feel like coming out of your PJ's but R. asked me to go on a mini-shopping trip, I decided to dress decent. And this is what we have. simple outfit.

On our way to shopping, we decided to stop by local bakery and ordered this cream puff...ceam puffs are my fav. I started feeding the driver and we get cream all over his nose! haha

Outfit Analysis:

What worked: Coral with blue is nice

What didn't: I could have done better - I have so many necklaces and scarves...I could have come up with a decent outfit but my brain has been fried lately.

What is your go-to shopping outfit? Tell us your thoughts!

This is what the photographer does when I take a pee break

and then we do his outfit pictures!

I am blessed with this cutie in my life - thank you for taking my wonderful pics everyday!

Aside from the sappy talks, I want to mentioned my new thrifted tank.  

Outfit Analysis:

What worked: I always wear white top with these brown pants, so decided to do something different this time and wear it with this colorful tank. I also hadn't worn in this darling pink cardigan in a LONG TIME. I think it goes well with the ensemble!

What didn't: The pants are a wee bit long on me - I should have worn high heels or I should get them hemmed! They make me look short.

I am excited to be taking part in Kendi's 30X30 Challenge starting on June 13! Are you? I feel nervous and excited! Let me know below if you plan to - so I can stalk you throughout the month and get inspiration :)
