YOUR LOCAL FASHION FREAK NEEDS YOU!

Good morning readers,

So, I am having a dilemma! Who else here overthinks about events that are miles away? I know I am guilty of this. If I am honest, I am losing sleep over this silly scenario. To give you some context, in August I have an event to attend. Yes, I know August is six months away, but I overthink a lot. My boyfriend finishes his army training in August, which leads to a parade. Now, I have been to two parades before, due to my brother being in the air force, but this one is extra special. Traveling for 7 hours better be worth it!

Now I am stressing out for many reasons, even ones that aren’t even a big deal. Here are a few:

• I want to look the best for my boyfriend after not seeing him for 4 months.
• This will be a great photo opportunity due to my boyfriend being in his number 2 uniform. For anyone that is not familiar with this talk, it his smart uniform.
• This is the first time I will meet all my boyfriends’ friends. Truthy, I wouldn’t call them friends. They have been through tough times and they are with each other every day… the bond will not break between them. They’re family. I want to make a good first impression.
• I want to feel confident. Truth is I am not confident at all. I want to feel as confident as I can there because I don’t want my boyfriend to worry about me. If I am confident it also means I will do the things I want to. I know that if I feel confident, I won’t mind running to my boyfriend at the front of the crowd. I know if I did this people will look at me. So, if I wasn’t to feel confident, I wouldn’t do what my heart wants me to do.

So, I had made a checklist of things I want to change. I added aspects like, get my eyebrows threaded, workout often, eat healthy and drink loads of water, get my hair dyed and get my nails done.

However, the hardest bit is deciding makeup, hair and finally and outfit. I will place a few images below of ideas I was thinking about.

YOUR LOCAL FASHION FREAK NEEDS YOU! And your thoughts and ideas.

I imagine wearing a casual outfit such as the one above. The problem is, I want to have a look of simplicity, yet I want to turn heads to anyone who catches a glimpse at me. With black skinny jeans and a simple shirt, such as the photos above it is casual. However, the accessories and Gucci belt grabs the attention. If you were to wear this, where would you wear it?

Ah the makeup! I am not great at makeup. However, after watching a few of Nikkitutorials videos, I genuinely understood what to do! If you’re not sure of anything makeup wise, go to Nikki! I wanted to go for a simple makeup look. I don’t want to look like a greasy ball at the end of the event! Not only that but I also suck at doing any makeup other than natural. Tell me guys what you think!

Hairstyles. See hairstyles are tricky. I desired my hair down due to me getting it dyed for this event. However, now I think of it, I will probably have to redo it more times than I blink! So, I was thinking of curling my hair and doing an updo. This way, it is out of my face (and not annoying my neck!) and it will always look good if I put enough clips in!

If you were to wear this outfit with the hair and makeup I described, would you wear it to a parade?

Let me know.
