So, I generally suck at being a girly girl. Though I very much want to be "pretty" in the sense that I have good skin, and clothes. I don't want to be one of those girls who have to have their hair and makeup done everyday. I want to be one of those girls who are pretty even when their hair and makeup are not done.
I have come up with a plan!... I am going to start a skin care routine, shower at night so that I may put my hair into a braid for bed (This way it will be nicely curled/waved for the next day with out actually having to do it.) and I will set up a "clothing album".
The skin care will be easy; wash face in shower, and put on a few lotions and potions. And my hair takes hardly at time at all to braid.
Now, the "clothing album" is going to be the hard part. My general plan is to take pictures of each items of clothing and jewelry and upload them to my computer. I will then photoshop together outfits that I like. Once I have everything set I will print them to a photo album. The idea is that I won't be able to bitch about not having anything to wear as I can physically view multiple different outfit choices. It will also help me to cut down on the time it takes to get ready for work or to go out. Essentially there will be no thought involved. I will simply have to open my book and pull from my clothes the pieces that are needed for that predetermined outfit.
I also hope that this will help me to cut down my closet. Whilst putting together the book I will be able to tell which pieces I don't generally like as much. And once the book is together I can keep track of which I choose to where most. Thus in the end being able to get ride of the pieces that I hardly wear.
I hope that these little steps will cut back the time I spend trying to make myself "pretty" and will in the end boost my confidence in the way I look.
