“It’s personality season, everyone!”
Ahh, winter. The season with adorable mittens, skin somehow smooth as marble and sappy pictures dancing in the snow. (See picture below.)
Here are a few tips and tricks to staying trendy, updated and downright fab in 5 below zero temperatures.
1. Carry around fake eyelashes at all times.
Don’t you just hate when the icy wind snaps off your mascara into tiny little pieces? You have like, a million eyelash wishes now. No biggie, just replace your real eyelashes with fake ones.
2. Don’t wear any blush - you’ll get red naturally!
Walking through a snowstorm really brings a nice, glowing look to your cheeks, so don’t fret about losing any color.
3. Marshmallows are so in.
Get the biggest, puffiest, thickest coat you have to dance amongst the snowflakes in. We can’t stress puffy enough, because rolly-polly is totally in.
4. Embrace your natural lip color!
"Wow, your blue and purple lips are so original! What shade do you use?" Uh, nothing! Duh! The great cold outdoors does everything and it's cheap, too!
5. Fingerless gloves are super cute; who needs fingers anyways?
You can totally text and keep one small portion of your hand slightly less frozen. Sure, your fingers will fall off, but the look is totally worth it.
6. Scarves, scarves, scarves!
You can use the classic scarf apparel a little differently this season. Just wrap it around your neck again and again until it covers your entire face completely. Perfect for cute outdoor selfies!
7. Double up on bodycons.
You can still look hot even you don’t feel hot. Simply layer your body con dresses on top of one another, giving you a little extra warmth while still lookin good!
8. Wear as many layers as possible so people will think you lost weight when spring comes around!
No gym necessary and you’ll still have people demanding to know what your diet secret is.
9. Soccer cleats are the new Uggs.
Need to get to class, but your old boots aren’t gonna get you there? Use your vintage cleats to really dig in the ice and get up that avalanche in style. Can you say “athletic?”
10. Forget turtlenecks… try turtlechins.
Turtlenecks are so out. Turtlechins pull all the way up to your mouth and give you the realistic tortoise kind of vibe. Plus, no one will see your teeth chatter.
11. Get a drunk coat.
Ew, pants at the club? You totally did not. All you need to do is get plastered right before you leave, and you don’t be able to even remember that you were cold in the first place? Healthy body temperature? Such a thing of the past.
12. Smile before you step outside!
Chances are, your face will be frozen in that position until thawed out -- better make it a good one!
So don’t fear, ladies! You can still look absolutely adorable through the tears and icicles forming under your nose. You, too, can be just like those girls frolicking in the snow for hours in pretty little dresses. Just stick to our tricks of the trade and…. well... hope for the best... and.. uh...
Oh, who are we kidding. For god’s sake, wear a big coat and good luck out there, people.
