Hello, lovers of satin! This week's article is about how to always look put together. I collected some tips that I saw that worked for me and everyone I know. Looking polished on a day-to-day basis may seem exhausting, but it can actually be very simple! When it comes to looking more polished, the key is to create a well put-together look that embraces your unique personal style. There are a few simple tricks everyone can use:
 
 
The first tip I always stick to is to use solid colors. Black, olive, khaki, white, grey, navy, nude, etc. The options are endless. Try to stay away from super loud colors if you aren't sure about how to combine them.

Next trick is to keep patterns to a minimal. If you do want to wear a pattern, keep it to a purse, nails or even a scarf.
 
 
 Always be properly groomed. Have your eyebrows and nails done. Have your hair washed and styled always - even if it’s just a bun. If you have time, make an effort to spend some time styling your hair every day – straighten it, curl it, put it in a nice bun, shape it with mousse, etc. Anything that makes a little difference.
 

If you have to go to an event last minute but don’t have time to do a full blown eye shadow look, just put bronzer in your crease and highlight the inner corners of your eyes.

Take care of your clothes and shoes! don’t wear anything with holes or anything dirty. I know it's kinda obvious, but if it’s falling apart, throw it away.
 
 
Heels can make your outfit look more put together, even if you’re just wearing jeans.
 
Have at least one nice high quality jacket.

Wear less jewelry. Keep it to 2 pieces at most.
 
When in doubt, wear black. it’s easily styled and looks good.
 


 
 
Dark lipstick can make you look like you spent time on your makeup. 
 
If you don’t have time to beat your face, just wear a dark plum or red lippie along with some eyeliner and skip the shadow all together.

Spray rose water or evian water on your face throughout the day to look moisturized and radiant.
 
  
 
 
 
Cotton, linen, and nice quality soft synthetic fabrics tend to look nicer than super hard, rough, plastic like ones.

Having all designer things is nice, but not always practical.  
 
Having one or two designer things and a lot of regular clothes is better than breaking the bank and having only a few designer things and nothing else.

Have a few clothes tailored. Alterations are your friend and can make inexpensive clothes look expensive, not to mention, it’s cheap!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

That's all for now!
