As a college student, I can truthfully admit that I stop caring about putting any effort into my look halfway through the semester.
There have been days where I wake up in the morning and even the thought of brushing my teeth is too exhausting; let alone choosing what outfit, hairstyle, and makeup I'm going to wear. This time around, I've decided to stop showing up to class in a pair of leggings and the shirt I slept in the night before (believe me when I say yikes).
I know I'm not the only woman who suffers this, so here are some tips and tidbits that'll help you look chic without any effort. It's time to fake it till you make it, ladies!
1. Gilded in gold (...jewelry, that is).
This is probably the simplest hack out there – liven up your look with gold jewelry! While there is a specific color palette for different skin undertones, I believe that gold looks good on anyone with any skin tone. For one, it shimmers and makes you look like you're glowing for the gods (without highlighter)! Gold jewelry can also transform your look, no matter what you're wearing. It's sophisticated and can make anyone put a little more put together!
2. Slay with scrunchies.
The 90s have been making a comeback in music and fashion since (at least) 2013. That includes the beloved trend of scrunchies! Before you think I'm trying to make you look like Clarissa Darling from "Clarissa Explains It All," hear me out! Scrunchies can elevate your look and make it appear like you're in the loop when it comes to fashion. Whether they're worn on your wrist or in your hair, scrunchies will undoubtedly make you look trendy! Forever 21 has a wide selection for a lower price – you can be on trend for as low as $1.99!
3. Matching sets made in heaven.
Ever wondered what the definition of "lazy but make it fashion" is? Matching sets are the answer. Not only are matching sets stylish and trendy, but they minimize the amount of work you do when choosing an outfit! You won't have to worry about choosing a complimentary top or bottom because you'll already have both that match. Talk about a match made in heaven.
4. Rock a bold lip and sunglasses.
If you don't feel like wearing much makeup, if any at all, a bold lip color is the way to go. Vivid shades like reds, plums, and pinks will accentuate the curve of your lips and give you a high fashion, editorial look. When pairing the lip with sunglasses, the specs will frame your face (so you don't need to wear any other makeup) and give you a sophisticated, glam look.
These four tips will undeniably make you look chic and fashionable without putting in all the effort. Whether you're running errands, going to class, or just grabbing coffee for a study sesh, you'll look fab and put together!
