Table of Contents:

Treat your skin like royalty

Take ample care of your natural hair

Dress in crisp neutral outfits that cater to your body shape

Choose your accessories wisely

Embrace feature-enhancing makeup

Keep your nails clean, filed, and simple

Regarding your signature scent(s)

Follow your dental & bodily hygiene routines religiously

Treat your skin like royalty:

Use high-quality skincare twice a day

Wear sunscreen every day

Remove your makeup every night before bed no matter what

Use makeup that doesn't clog your pores/irritate your skin

Change your pillowcases weekly

Eat plenty of produce & drink lots of water

Prioritize sleep

Limit or eliminate alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, and processed foods/sugary drinks

Keep your skin exfoliated/derma-planed

Take ample care of your natural hair:

Use high-quality shampoo/conditioner combos that suit your hair type & don't cause build-up

Hydrate with a scalp mask 1-4 times a month

Use cold or lukewarm water to wash your hair

Apply shampoo to the roots/hair covering your scalp and conditioner only on the "ponytail" section of your hair

Use a specialty hair towel after getting out of the shower

Always comb wet hair and brush 1-3 times a day when dry

Limit heat on your hair when possible & always use a heat protectant every time you do

Use non-elastic or silk hair ties

Get regular trims at least 3-4 times per year (get your hair layered if it's very thick)

Try to limit how much you dye or, especially bleach, your hair and do elaborate styles with tons of heat & harsh products

Dress in crisp neutral outfits that cater to your body shape:

Embrace minimalist basics (tees, tanks, blouses, sweaters, jeans, trousers, blazers, leather jackets, coats, etc.) in high-quality fabrics (Pima cotton, Merino wool, Tencel, mulberry silk, etc.)

Choose options in black, white, grey, charcoal beige, navy, burgundy, or cream depending on your skin tone and preferences

Invest in a collection of sleek footwear options (black boots, loafers, black pumps, white sneakers, etc.) in minimalist, timeless styles that suit the color palette, hemlines & proportions of your go-to outfits

Ensure your shoes and accessories feel proportional to the weight/silhouette of your outfit, color-coordinate with the rest of your look, and have streamlined hardware from head-to-toe (all silver, all gold, or one piece that mixes silver/gold and another gold & silver piece each to balance out the color palette)

Keep all of your clothes steam and lint-rolled, so they look crisp & fresh all-day

Befriend your tailor to take in or let out clothes as needed when purchased off the rack

Choose clothes/styles that flatter your body shape and proportions

Utilize belts and bra tape to adjust the waist, keep shirts tucked in, and keep straps from falling down or create an impromptu cuff/hem on your pants

When in doubt, select a neutral head-to-toe monochrome outfit

If on a budget, consider choosing black, grey, camel beige items to hide fabric imperfections that could cheapen your look

Choose your accessories wisely:

Select sleek, simple neutral (& almost exclusively) monochrome shoes made with smooth (recycled/vegan) leather with

Pair almost any outfit with a shoe featuring a slight platform, block heel, kitten heel, and/or a sharply pointed toe to elongate your silhouette

Complement your outfit with structured, pared-back handbags with no logos (Focus on quality and construction, not the brand name) in a neutral shade and timeless silhouette

For jewelry, choose at most one statement piece and all others should be focused on different areas of the body (e.g. don't mix statement earrings with layered/bold necklaces or stacked rings * bracelets). When in doubt, choose simple diamond chains or earrings, sleek bangles or chainlink necklaces & bracelets, simple pendant necklaces, and minimalist rings in hardware that all go together

Embrace feature-enhancing makeup:

Cover up any dark circles, blemishes, or hyperpigmentation with a color-matched concealer

Lightly contour with a bronzer that complements your skin tone

Fill in your brows for a naturally full look (or get them professionally tinted)

Apply a light wash of rose, coral, or mauve blush

Use black mascara with a little bit of eyeliner and/or a subtle wash of brown eyeshadow on the lids

Apply a "your lips but better" nude shade or "just kissed' berry lipstick or pigmented lip balm for a subtle wash of color

Keep your nails clean, filed, and simple:

Maintain cut, cleaned, and filed short nails

Opt for a square or almond nail shape

Choose a timeless nail shade (pink, nude, red, beige, dark cherry, navy, dark purple, black) with no nail art

Hydrate your hands and scrub under your nails daily

Regarding your signature scent(s):

Ensure your body wash/lotion and perfume scents don't clash

Test perfumes for a trial day to ensure they smell divine with your unique pheromones

Choose a fragrance appropriate for the seasonal/occasion

Apply a dab on each wrist and on your neck/behind the ears. If the scent doesn't project well on you, try applying these small dabs on the cuffs and shoulders of your jacket/walk into it to get it on your hair (if it would stain your clothes)

Don't layer more than one heady perfume at a time or scents that don't have complementary and/or shared notes

Follow your dental & bodily hygiene routines religiously:

Floss every day (after each meal if possible)

Brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush twice a day

Have mints on hand if you're a garlic, spice, or coffee lover

Keep your lips & hands well-moisturized and protected with SPF

Shower your body daily and be extra diligent in scrubbing your privates, everything behind, and under your arms

Don't use very hot water in the shower (it burns/dries out your skin)

Exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a sugar scrub

Moisturize daily or anytime you get out of the shower

Apply SPF on any exposed sun (especially in the summer or when the UV index is high in your area)

How to Look More Expensive on Any Budget 💸

1. Stick to a Neutral Palette 🎨

Neutral colors like black, white, beige, navy, and gray exude elegance. A neutral wardrobe is versatile and makes mixing and matching easy!

2. Choose Quality Fabrics ✨

Silk, cashmere, wool, and linen look high-end and drape beautifully. Skip cheaper materials—they tend to wear out quickly and can look less refined.

3. Prioritize Fit and Tailoring ✂️

Well-fitted clothes instantly look more luxurious. Even affordable pieces look high-end when they fit perfectly. Don’t skip the tailor!

4. Classic Over Trendy 👔

Go for timeless cuts like straight-leg trousers, A-line skirts, and structured blazers. Avoid overly trendy pieces; they can cheapen the look.

5. Minimal Accessories 💎

Less is more! A few quality pieces—like a classic watch, delicate jewelry, or a structured handbag—add sophistication without overdoing it.

6. Good Shoes Are a Must 👠

Shoes are the first thing people notice. Invest in timeless pairs like pointed-toe pumps, loafers, or sleek ankle boots. Quality materials like leather go a long way.

7. Grooming is Everything 💅

Clean nails, clear skin, and styled hair add instant polish. Keep brows tidy and nails neutral for a chic finish.

8. Monochrome Outfit Magic ⚫⚪

Dressing in one color or different shades of the same color is super chic. It’s also slimming and gives you a refined, put-together look.

9. Structured Pieces Add Polish 🧥

Go for tailored items like blazers, trench coats, and well-cut trousers. They help define your shape and elevate any outfit.

10. Natural, Polished Makeup 💄

Keep it simple with a natural “no-makeup makeup” look: light foundation, tidy brows, neutral lips, and minimal eye makeup for an effortless vibe.

11. Avoid Flashy Logos ❌

Subtle branding looks refined. Let the quality and fit speak for themselves instead of loud logos.

12. Classic, Structured Bags 👜

Opt for timeless, structured bags in neutral colors like black, beige, or tan. A great bag instantly elevates your outfit!

13. Iron & Steamer: Best Friends 🤝

Crisp, wrinkle-free clothes always look more expensive. Use an iron or steamer to keep clothes looking fresh and neat.

With these tips, you can achieve a polished, “expensive” look—no matter your budget! 🕊️✨

Strolling through the charming Magnolia Market in Waco, TX, I couldn't resist the perfect trifecta of style, comfort, and practicality with my high waist jeans, adorable floral crop top, and comfy flats.

High Waist Jean Perks

Elongates the legs and create the illusion of a slimmer waistline. 

Provide ample coverage and support, making them a great option for those who prefer a more comfortable and secure fit.

High waist jeans also offer versatility in styling as they can be dressed up with heels and a blouse or dressed down with sneakers and a t-shirt.

Crop Tops Are Fun

Show off your midriff and highlight your curves. 

Crop tops can be incredibly versatile and can be worn in a variety of settings, from casual outings with friends to more formal events when paired with the right accessories. 

They also come in a wide range of styles, materials, and patterns, making it easy to find one that suits your individual taste. 

Crop tops offer a fun and stylish way to express yourself through your wardrobe.

Cute Comfy Flats Are A Must-Have :)

Flats are incredibly comfortable and easy to wear, allowing you to walk and stand for extended periods without experiencing discomfort or fatigue. 

They're also versatile and can be worn with a wide variety of outfits, from casual jeans to more formal dresses, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. 

Flats are available in a vast range of styles, colors, and materials, making it easy to find a pair that matches your personal style and the occasion. 

Flats are generally more practical than high heels, which can be challenging to wear for extended periods.
