I think its pretty safe to say that everyone wants to at least feel like a million bucks. Some people even want to look the part too. The thing is, when you look good your chances of feeling good dramatically increases. I know when my outfit, hair, and/or makeup are less than stellar, I certainly don’t feel as good as I do when they are.
I have an easy formula that quickly elevates my look from $5 to at least a million …

SIMPLE FACE + RED LIPSTICK

It’s a sad reality but wearing makeup really does make you look more put together. You don’t have to breakout the makeup paint gun or anything, a simple face will do. My simple face involves foundation, blush, mascara, and red lip. Red lipstick (or you go-to color of choice) makes it look like you give two craps about your appearance. I am never without a tube of red lipstick.

STYLE HAIR OR ADD A HAT

I give my hair the once over with the curling iron but maybe your go-to style is a blow-out or something else that makes you feel awesome. Feeling super lazy? Then just throw on a chic hat and call it a day. You all KNOW that is my go-to.

PUT ON A PAIR OF HEELS

Sure flats are comfortable but heels really do make a statement. A pair of jeans and a tee shirt are suddenly chic and expensive looking with a great pair of heels. This trick works every time.

TOP IT OFF WITH A STATEMENT PIECE

Adding one wow piece to your look instantly increases the cha-ching of your look. Maybe its a great pair of sunglasses (celebs do this trick all the time) or it could be a great coat or a killer necklace. The trick is to focus on ONE piece. Too many “shiny” things to look at can end up coming off as cheap.
