Spring/Summer Tips that can keep you looking Fab!

 
 

Here in Detroit, we’ve been waiting for the day when the warm weather would finally grace us with its presence. With all the snow we endured, it’s been long overdue, so with that being said let’s discuss some tips that can help keep us looking fab for these upcoming months of summer. 

First thing first all sizes are not equal! 
– Just because they make it in your size doesn’t mean YOU have to wear it.
– Just because everybody is wearing it doesn’t mean YOU have to wear it.
– Just because it fits doesn’t mean YOU have to wear it! 


Shaving/Waxing
– Underarm hair is not sexy
– Having smooth legs is a great spring/summer necessity
– Planning on rocking a swim-suit this spring/summer, don’t forget about your bikini area.

One of my favorite razors to use is the Schick Intuition Plus razor. There’s no need for shaving gel because the Skin Moisturizing bar creates its own light lather.  The razor is reasonably priced at about $8.00-$11.00 depending on where you get purchase it,  the refills can be a little pricey but it’s totally worth it. 

 

 
Another razor to try is the  Schick Quattro For Women Trimstyle Razor and Bikini Trimmer. You get the best of both worlds with a razor and bikini trimmer all in one. This runs about $8.00-$14.00 depending on where you purchase it. 

 

– Nair is another great way to remove unwanted hair from your face and body.
 
 
 
– Waxing may be the most effective way to keep those pesky hairs away longer, whether you DIY (do it yourself) or have it done professionally. 
 
 

Deodorant

There’s nothing grosser than seeing someone wearing a sleeveless top lift up their arms displaying clumps of dried deodorant (can we say eww!).


– Apply deodorant with a few swipes in the same direction, be careful not to pile it on, this may cause access deodorant to remain after it dries.
– Underarm hair can cause clumps to appear after deodorant dries if you apply to much. (When going sleeveless this is very noticeable and definitely not a good look).
– After applying deodorant wait a few minutes before dressing, so you can allow the deodorant to dry.
– Never reapply deodorant to your underarms while sweating, this will not work. ( I’ve seen this done before)

.

You want to avoid looking like this, unless this is your thing. 


Bras (Thou shall wear a bra) 

– Some girls can get away with going without a bra, but many can’t. Certain tops and dresses just show a bit to much to go without some type of support. They have many bras available that can adjust to the type of top you wear.
– Buy bras with interchangeable straps.
– Try a camisole with the built-in support attached, then there’s no need for a bra. 
– If you decide to go bra-less try nipple covers/patches to hide the unwanted “headlight” look.
– If you plan on wearing tops with a plunging neckline try Hollywood Fashion tape to keep your “goods” where they belong. 





Which do you prefer?



Panties
– Going commando may not always be a good idea, but here’s a solution when going Commando. Cotton patches, protection without the hassle of panties.
– Know when to wear thongs, hipsters, boy shorts, bikini, and seamless panties to avoid visible panty lines.  
-Spanks and tummy control panties are a girl’s best friend. 
-Want that soft cotton comfort without panties visit go commandos.
– If you are going to be completely bare down there, know how to get out the car, sit down and cross your legs without exposing yourself. Make it work!


Don’t let this happen to you!



Shorts (short shorts)
– The shorter the shorts, the looser they should fit.
– They should never be skin tight where you can see the imprint of your crotch. (Camel Toe)
– Find a pair that complements YOUR body. 
– The higher the shorts the lower the heel, unless you’re rocking wedges. 
– Short shorts are not for everyone, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
-Find a pair that suits your body type.
– If you have flabby thighs go with a longer length of shorts.
– Small legs, a lower length.
– If your plus size go with Bermuda shorts.
– Thin and tall go with rolled-up shorts.



Makeup

I’m a big fan of makeup, but not when it’s caked on. Here in Michigan, our summers can get very hot and no one wants to see someone with a pound of makeup running down their face looking like Ronald McDonald. Sometimes less is more. Keeping it natural looking is key.
 
All I need for summer is my mascara, lip gloss, and eyeliner and I’m good to go.
 
– Remember keep it natural.
– If you wear foundation, get colors that match your skin tone.
– To keep your makeup from melting, try not to put so much makeup on.
– Instead of foundation try going with a concealer for blemishes and other problem areas. 

– For eye makeup, set it with a pressed powder instead of a loose powder. The heat can cause loose powder to melt quicker. When using pressed powder, use a firm puff to gently press the powder over your eye shadow. This will provide a longer-lasting look without a lot of creasing.
– For your lips, add a touch of powder before applying your lipstick. Doing this creates a matte look that will keep your lip color in place.


You don’t want to walk around looking like this for summer, so less is more!

Feet
 – Pedicures are a summer must whether you do it yourself or visit a nail shop.
 – Remove chipped polish.
 – Use a nail filer (emery board) to even out nails
 – Great way to get smooth feet for the summer is to remove dead skin from the heel of your foot by using a foot file or a wet pumice stone.
 – Soak your feet.
 – Apply Vaseline to your feet then put on cotton socks before you go to bed, that way you’ll wake up to soft feet.
 – Use cuticle remover

A few things to get your feet looking Summerlicious

Shoes

 – Sandals, Peep toe shoes, and Flip flops are all cute, but if your feet are scraping the ground go up a size or two.
 – Try to avoid wearing shoes that are too small or narrow because they can cause corns and make your feet look very unsexy.  
– High heels are fun and look good, but they should not be worn too long at a stretch or for much walking. Besides cramping the toes, they change body posture, making backaches more likely.


D0 you really want your feet looking like this? Be careful of the type of shoes your wear
.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion… 

I wore my Apple Watch with every outfit for years. Then one day I realized not every outfit needs it.

Sometimes the best accessory is knowing when to leave one off.

Do you wear your Apple Watch with everything, or do you switch it up depending on the outfit?

Adulting is exhausting. Nights like this are necessary.

A reminder that I’m allowed to enjoy my life, too.

Work can have me tomorrow. Tonight belongs to me.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is leave the house. #fashionstyledetroit

When I have no idea what to wear, I stick to a formula that never fails: a graphic tee, a maxi skirt, and statement shoes. Simple, effortless, and it always looks put together. #fashionstyledetroit #ootd #styletip

Unpopular fashion opinion: It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

I’d rather walk into a room feeling confident than spend the whole time wishing I’d put in a little more effort.

Getting dressed isn’t about impressing other people, it’s about how you feel when you show up.

Agree or disagree? Which would you rather be: overdressed or underdressed? 👇🏾

Unpopular fashion opinion: Not every fashion trend looks good on everybody.

I’ve learned that chasing every trend doesn’t build great style knowing what works for your body, lifestyle, and personal style does.

The best outfits aren’t always the trendiest. They’re the ones that make you feel confident.

Agree or disagree? What’s one fashion trend you just couldn’t get behind?

I told myself I wasn’t buying another pair of sunglasses.

Then I tried them on.

At what point does it become a collection and not a shopping problem?

Unpopular fashion opinion: Looking expensive has nothing to do with how much you spent.

Some of the best outfits I’ve ever worn weren’t the most expensive…they just fit well, felt good, and were styled with intention.

A designer label won’t fix bad styling, but confidence can elevate almost anything.

Agree or disagree? 

What’s your unpopular fashion opinion?

Original price: $170

My price: $59.97

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s not spending money… that’s being financially responsible. 

Girl math or smart shopping? Be honest. 😂

What up doe? Fashion besties, can we talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult?

Between work, responsibilities, and everything else life throws our way, making new friends isn’t always easy. That’s why I love events like this. There’s something so refreshing about stepping outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, and making real life connections.

I came for the content, the donuts, and the good vibes…but I left with some great conversations and new connections.

Noowwwww…let’s talk about the food!! The donuts were good, and I especially loved the Strawberry Shortcake Layered Custard. But the real star of my evening? The Crispy Ramen Original Rice Hotdog lightly sprinkled with sugar. I’m officially hooked and already planning my next visit.

A big thank you to @DetroitFinds313 and @mochinut_berkely for hosting such a fun and welcoming event. 

Now tell me, fashion besties, do you find it easy or hard to make new friends as an adult?
