On the Contrary

Life as a teenager. Living in the shadows of all the popular girls who all the guys like, and get all the attention. Their hair is always perfect, makeup pristine, how do they pull it off? Oh contraire, I am not one of them. Reading a good book, playing some records all suit my fancy. To homecoming, I wore a twenties inspired Betsy Johnson number, while everyone else wore short, tacky silk unoriginals. I like being different. Even though sometimes it bothers me, why couldn't I have chosen this life? Or why is my hair not perfectly straight without trying? I have alot of beauty tricks that make life easier, but also make me stand out from the crowd. For example, my favorite is eyeshadow. I can never go wrong with it. I love bold dramatic colors, like blues and golds(which are perfect for summer) Today, I am wearing 5 different shades of brown on my lids, with pink and gold under the lower lash line. Fabulous. Its fun and easy. Also, since its summer, neons are totally in. I have gotten into colour blocking in these past couple of months, and I have found that you cant go wrong. Any color goes this summer. Try it out. today, I am wearing turquoise Gap shorts with a neon pink Jcrew top. My nails are painted mint and turquoise. It works. i love this new trend, it is sooo easy to pull it off. Good Luck. ~ Hailey
