Cloudy Skies

























I was playing around with my camera and iPhoto and came up with this. Anyways, Never mind all of that ................. 

My go to accessory is my Bowlers hat and I love it. It comes in handy when my hair looks a little rough on the edges (like now). I pop it on and my secret is hidden for the time being, oh the joy of being a woman I tell you. Even though I wouldn't trade it for the world I will always be a firm believer in females having it harder than males. This conversation has always been a controversy between both genders and I will always say that a day to day upkeep of females is way more expensive than males. It takes so much for us to look the way we 'ought' to look. I mean all men really has to do is get a haircut, put on clean clothes and wear it with some swag. As for us we have so many different sections and those sections have sub sections *SIGH*. Here are a few examples of what some females might use before stepping out the house .....................
Face Makeup
The whole face
Foundation
Concealer
Powder
Eyes
Mascara
Eyeliner
Eye shadow
Primer
Eyelashes 
Lips
Lip liner
Lipstick 
Lipgloss
Cheeks
Blush
Eyebrows
Wax, Pluck or thread 
If you use makeup
Concealer
Eyebrow pencil
Eye shadow 

Hair
Weave (if you wear weave and depending on the hair you get) 
Hair products to take care of your real hair (depending on your hair texture, journey, or regimen) 
Hair electronics ( straightener, blow drier, curlers, etc) 
Hair accessories 
Clothes
I'm not going to say too much about what we wear but when it comes to clothes, I feel like we have more layers to attend to than men. Men can get away with the same boxers for a day or two but it would be unlawful for a female to.
Others
*Sigh*, I'm not going to go in depth with accessories like attending to your nails, bags, jewelry, etc but I'm sure you guys get the point now. One thing I must say is that a day to day upkeep of a male/female varies. I am aware that some females attend to themselves more than others and vice versa for males. I'm also sure some men probably attend to themselves more than some females. Nonetheless, if you ask me Females > Males, BUT THAT'S JUST TUTU.

Androgynous

Have you ever put on your significant other's basketball shorts or shirt, and it made you feel extremely sexy? Well, that is exactly how I feel every time I interpret my own meaning of this trend with my outfits. It makes me feel like nothing less of a rockstar.

 Even though I convinced myself that I'm too much of a girly girl to try something remotely "tomboyish"(whatever that means), I'm drawn to it like a magnet. I find myself embracing this androgynous trend and loving every minute of it. Even though to another female this might still seem a little feminine, I disagree because this is daring to me. I have always tried to stay away from anything that takes away a pinch of my sexy every women is blessed with. What I did discover is that, there is so much more beauty in NOT trying to be sexy, but still achieving it. It makes it effortless and anything that looks natural is worth taking a double look BUT THAT'S JUST TUTU.
