The hardest thing about blogging may really be picking the perfect outfit for an event. This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Kinky Hair Unlocked event in Atlanta, GA hosted by 4CHairChicks (check out my event recap HERE). I was super excited about the event and seeing fellow type 4 hair ladies and bloggers in one place...but when it came to an outfit...I was completely lost.
Normally my issue is having too many options with no clue about what I want to wear, but when I travel I "try" to pack light. So I normally wind up with less options and hating everything that I have lol.
This time around I didn't exactly pack smart, I had way more casual clothes than I did "dressy" and of course I either hated all the dressy clothes I packed or *insert side eye* didnt have the appropriate underwear LMAO!
Dress Option 1
Cute...but too bright for a night networking event right?
Dress Option 2
Super cute but...almost too casual and clearly....the bra *cries*
Sooooo whats a girl to do?
1. Take about 15 mins to panic and debate if your even going to go out.
2. Come to your senses and improvise, improvise, improvise.
So clearly I had to beat my face from here to Mars...because if your ever in a panic about an outfit not working out a huge help is to put your face on because seeing the whole look together could really change how you feel before you declare "this looks like shit i'm not going"
Face details:

And walah...
With a cover up, a good statement necklace and a little make up I went from a sporty bum to..."i'm feelin myself...i'm feelin myself" lol
Oh and dont worry ladies...a look like this wont break the bank and its super easy to recreate because its such a simple outfit...but trust me you will be a show stopper!
