Hair
Congratulations on your new relationship with dry shampoo. You are now BFFs. But seriously, spray, rub, brush, and you are done! This works wonderfully if you have styled your hair a day or two before and you want to save on shower and blow dry time. If you are just having a bad hair day and dry shampoo is working no magic, you can always do a quick braid and pull it loose to look cool and effortless.
Makeup
If you are really in a pinch, this is where you can skimp a little. Forgot the foundation and go straight for the concealer. Apply it under your eyes, chin, nose, and a swipe on your forehead. Spread is as evenly across your entire face as you can. Pop some blush on the apples of your cheeks. Run some black mascara through those lashes, do a quick brow fill in, and you can even apply your lipstick in the car! And girl believe me, sunglasses were not invented for sun protection, but instead for tired mommies and working ladies!
Outfit
I have said before that it is a really good idea to have a “running late” outfit. This can be a mental picture of what you can throw on if you miss your alarm and are forced to run out the door with little notice. A simple white t shirt, jeans, and cute flats would do just fine. I almost always grab my favorite pair of Sam Edelman white loafers, Louis Vuitton Neverfull, and a comfortable dress. But recently I have been loving these Calson Flare Jeans, which can easily be dressed up or dressed down.
Just remember that getting ready doesn’t have to be a huge ordeal. Somedays it is fun to put in that extra effort, but getting ready does not need to be a daunting task. What are some of your secret tips on running out the door? Share them in the comment section! Thanks for reading!
