Not so perfect? Working moms, stay home moms, single moms, it’s time to get a little spring fling. It’s okay. Get a guilt-free pampering everyone so deserves. No matter what style you prefer, always feel fabulous! Don’t hesitate… dare to shine!
Whether you’re in your 30’s or 50’s, feel good about any style you want. However, don’t be silly dressing up like a 15 year old. Find that balance. Not so young and not so old. Beware of falling into becoming the latest fashion victim. Often wondered about designers’ unflattering weird style… mumbling “who would wear that?” under my breath.
Classic finds will be the best for an overall clean but sophisticated look. I normally mix n match the old favorite coats and tops with the new. The basics can be more flexible if the lines are clean so adding to it can go many different ways. Have fun experimenting on what works. Sometimes updates on cool accessories, silk scarves, purses or totes and funky shoes makes the entire get up charming and sharp, most of all, affordable.
Add lighter highlights to make the face look softer and maybe use a little bit of bangs for a more fun younger look. But most importantly, spring clean your face. Exfoliate or book an appointment for a micro-dermabrasion.
For busy mothers, Google some latest organic skin care products online and get more discounts. Check out skin care make-up. There are a few available online and quite a few drugstores carry some pretty amazing brands. Sometimes I spend an hour just trying different shades and most of all deciphering labels making sure that no harmful ingredients are mixed to the good stuff. Sometimes adding colourful tops or skirt to your fave old boring wardrobe gives an instant flare of matching shades that enhances the fashion spirit.
In my opinion, a majority of Filipino women tend to shy away from figure hugging dresses and tops. No worries, I’m one of them too guilty of over self-consciousness — but fighting off the “too old for this kind of thing”. If wearing the same thing over and over again makes you feel good about yourself then go for it! Why fix it if isn’t broken? However, don’t make it a habit… be bold and try new things. Change is sometimes good. A black lace coat with fringes for an evening wear can be a lot of fun.
Bottom line? Wear and look whatever you think will make you happy since sometimes real style means breaking all the rules.
A new shade of lip color and a little blush goes a long way. Still, that radiant mommy smile is the best wear at all times!
