You know those mornings when you wake up and just know that there's absolutely no hope of looking attractive? Maybe you only got three hours of sleep the night before. Maybe you haven't washed your hair in four days. Maybe you've just run out of any motivation to make an attempt at looking presentable. Whatever the reason, there's one word to describe what you're about to resemble, and that word is thumb.
It took me a long time to figure out what to call this oh-so-unattractive look. You know the one. You pull your hair all the way back, maybe in a ponytail or a tight braid. You can't even let a few loose strands fall in your face, because instead of looking cute and carefree, you look like a drug addict that hasn't owned a brush in years. Then, to cover up those stray wisps or to hide the fact that your roots look greasier than a McDonald's hamburger, you throw on a nice thick headband to seal the deal. That, my friends, is the thumb look.
There are quite a few ways to achieve this style and master the art of looking like a thumb. I've noticed that my inner thumb really shines when I wear hats. Some girls are blessed with the ability to still look cute while sporting a baseball-type cap. Unfortunately, us thumbs of the world were not given that gift.
If you really want to accent your thumb-ly appearance, try taking a Snapchat while holding your phone in your lap and looking down. Not only does it bring out your double chin, but it's also the perfect way to snap a quick photo underneath your desk during class.
It's not just girls that can achieve the thumb look. Boys have the potential to be just as thumb-like. It helps to have shorter hair and to make sure you're holding the camera at the perfect angle to capture the thumb in action.
For those of you feeling ashamed of your thumb-like appearance, know that you are not alone. Never be afraid to embrace the thumb look, no matter the time of day. Be a morning thumb, an afternoon thumb, an evening thumb or even a bedtime thumb. The possibilities are truly endless.
