Mexican Tuxedo
1:07:00 AM
It is finally summer and
the minimalistic slay has already began, but let’s be honest; it is hard to transition from all
the fab layering we did in winter. So naturally I wanted to do a summer layered
look with my version of a “Mexican Tuxedo”. We live in a semi-desert so when summer hits,
it hits hard. Hence we pulled out these old denim SHORTS! I don't care what
anyone says, tiny shorts will save your life because they are so easy to style.
This is my "I'm not Beyoncé because she would never put up with this heat,
but if I had to be, I’d probably look like this." Honestly though
this is such an easy look for anyone to pull off and it is an all day look
which I love. So if you have to do the run around during the day you could
still rock this look and tone it down with a fun sneaker (Creepers) or a strappy
sandal for my girly girls. Also the jacket can be replaced with denim
shirt (the boyfriend kind), but you’d be risking the edginess of this outfit.
Now I know this is about style, but can we take
a minute to talk about my LEGS! Let’s be realistic... Rocking shorts is all about
the legs. If my legs looked dry, ashy and shapeless, this look would be weak. So
I’ll share a little “glow up” secret with you. Now if
you are like me and the gym hates you, this is for you. So firstly I’ll say;
I'm a pedestrian so I do walk a lot and IFY: I used to play soccer back in the
day so naturally my legs don't suck. However if you are trying have that “glowy”, firm, but looks butter
kind of legs. You’re going to have to go in with that
bronzer.
1. Exfoliate/body scrub them legs (Also, if you
have hair. Wax it! Nobody like a Porcupine.)
2. Go in with that lotion. I like to use Nivea
(the Dark Blue bottle) because it leaves you with a glow (half the work done.)
3. The most crucial step. BRONZER! Now if you
have nice legs just put the bronzer through out. However, if the legs are not
on your side you have to strategically place the bronzer on you calf curves
back and front following the curves of your legs (Almost like when you
highlight your nose.) trust me this will change how you feel about your
legs.
P.S. If all this “Glowing Up” is too much. Panty hose
with shorts will never fail you. Beyoncé does it all the time and her legs stay
looking like butter.
XOXO... LM (Just another F.O.R)
