reality vs. my actual style

I am by no means a fashionista, however I know what looks good and stylish on me and what doesn't. That being said, I usually don't wear "stylish" things on a day-to-day basis. So in this post, I'm going to tell you what I actually wear vs. what I actually want to wear.

This is what I typically throw on everyday (I actually own the socks and sweatpants and headbands and mascara in this picture, and let me tell you, the sweatpants are craaaazy comfy.):

Actual Everyday




And this is what I dream of throwing on everyday:

Everyday




Cute, casual, and my style. What's your style?

Step 1: Prime your eyes.


Step 2: Sweep a light, matte cream-colored eyeshadow on your entire lid.
