This meme is me every morning. I personally don't like spending time to do my hair. I'm super low maintenance when it comes to getting ready. Like on a given day, I only give myself 15 minutes MAYBE 20 minutes to get ready in the morning before I leave. However, hair can honestly make or break your outfit. You could have an absolutely amazing outfit but the wrong hairstyle can quickly take you from a knock-out to just okay. Remember, your hair is an accessory just like a belt, a purse, or shoes. In addition, these are also just basic guidelines. You can wear your hair however you want despite what I say! This is just my personal opinion. Before we get started, I want to make a couple shout outs to Shannon from Gathered in Grace and Hair by Hannah on Instagram (@GraleyHannah) for allowing me to use their clothes, videos, and pictures as examples for this post. quick tips1. Dress loud, simple hair.
2. High neckline, hair high.
3. Round & square neckline, free-flowing hair.
4. Basic outfit, statement hair.
I know this was a quick post - but I thought this would just help give a basic foundation for everyone when it comes to coordination your hair with your outfit of the day. Remember: Some styles of shirts/dresses can look amazing with both your hair up, down, or a half-up/half-down hairstyle!
Thanks for reading and please leave some feedback! Stay you. Stay Beautiful. Rachel xoxo You need to check out Shannon's quick tutorial on her 1 minute hair that is great for those days when you are in a rush! Download the file below to watch!

The saying goes ‘beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.’ This is definitely true! However, since we are all unique in how our bodies are proportioned, we need to take into account what looks good on our own bodies.
This post will help you understand the shapes and cuts that will flatter you. Large Note: These are just general guidelines when dressing for your body type. Some things that are suggested for another body type may look good on your frame as well! This just helps provide a very general guideline to follow if you need some direction. Pear You may be this body type if..
Hourglass You may be this body type if…
Apple You may be this body type if…
Rectangle You may be this body type if…
Before I continue on to how to dress specifically for your body type, it is important that you are PROUD OF YOUR BODY. I want to emphasize again, every one is beautiful. Each shape is beautiful. my pear type ladiesWhat looks good on you:

Stay you. Stay Beautiful. Rachel xx Leave us a comment, like our Facebook page, follow our Instagram! Sheer clothing is definitely a trend that is not going away anytime soon. Tons of girls who dress with the intention of modesty often shy away from the thought of purchasing a cute sheer shirt, dress or skirt. But you don't have to if you make incredibly minimal modifications. So is it possible to rock this style while still being modest? YES. HUGE NOTE: Sheer does not have to mean sexy. By modestly styling sheer items, it can be beautiful. There is a mixture of modest pictures and 'immodest' pictures displayed. The 'immodest' pictures are there to show you what you can purchase and the text below describes how you can make them modest. I will say, this style is not for everyone and not everyone will feel comfortable to rock it. It by no means is my intention to 'offend' anyone by the way I suggest to rock it. Ready? Here we go! Sheer Shirt Under Dress
Sheer Shirt + Skirt Combo
Sheer Dresses
Sheer Skirts
Those are just a few simple ways on how I personally like to style sheer clothing.
