When you are a self-proclaimed style expert, you are supposed to walk the walk and talk the talk and practice what you preach. It would not do, for example, for me to wear rubber flip flops on the street after my post about Style Do's and Don'ts. But I have a confession to make: I am not a fashionista (a term I actually loathe) in the true sense of the word. I am what you could call a Lazy Fashionista. There are days when I don't apply mascara before heading out the door and there has been more than one occasion when my sister has looked me up and down with eyes that say, "what are you wearing??". But let's face it. There are times when your outfit is the last thing on your mind. You are a complex person with important things to think about beyond what shoes go with this skirt. So, I would like to pass on a few tips for those days when life choices outweigh your earring choices.
1. Throw on a scarf (see above): a scarf is the easiest accessory in the world. It can add colour to an outfit, keep you warm and add personality to the most boring t-shirt and jeans. This season go for an over-sized cashmere or chunky knit version.
2. Wear shades: Celebrities' favourite trick. Throw on a big pair of shades on days when you just can't bring yourself to apply your five-minute-face.

3. Blush it up: A punchy dab of blush can wake up your face and make you look fresh and relaxed even if that is not how you feel.

1.A big bold necklace or an armful of bangles.
2.Please wear the mascara, it doesn't take that long and really makes a difference!
3.Clean up your nails and thrown on some bright polish
4. Add interest to a boring dress or skirt by wearing patterned, textured, or an interesting colour pair of tights
5. Dry shampoo and a hairband can make your messy not so clean hair all of a sudden look a little more polished.
This is fun!
