Hello there!  How are you doing today?  I hope you are laughing as hard as I am! This hair style was inspired by "the wind" haha.  Have you ever had a photo shoot where the wind wasn't cooperating with you, so you just went with it?  This is what I decided to do.  

"Oftentimes life is like adjusting to the weather, and you feel as though you have no control over what is going on around you.  Sometimes you have to just go with it and make it work."  



5 Tips On How To Create More Drama (in your blog posts):

• Accentuate the Positive- Try creating a dramatic makeup look around a specific feature on your face.  I chose my eyes and eyebrows for this dramatic look (and let the wind do the rest), but you can focus on your lips or contour your face as well.
• Accessorize-Choose a loud accessory that screams for attention such as a statement necklace, a fabulous hat or scarf, a handsome handbag, a decorated manicure from Jamberry, or stunning shoes as your focal point.
• Prints-Choose a printed dress, pants, or blouse to draw attention to that particular item.  
• Hair-A beautiful braid, updo, a top notch top knot, a wig, a sleek flat ironed bob, or a crown of curls can elevate any look.
• Photography-Maybe you leave it all up to Photoshop to create the drama for you.  Using different filters (on Instagram, black and white, or sepia) and lighting can really add some drama at the end of  the day.  Also, using different photographers to give your photos an updated and more curated look through their eyes can make all the difference.  Some people prefer realistic looking photos, while others prefer fantasy oriented or highly edited ones.  I think it's important "not to judge" other bloggers for their chosen style if it is not like your own and to also stay open to creating different styles for yourself.  

I hope you found these tips helpful!

  

What do you do when you get bored with your style and want to create a more dramatic look? Do you get a new hair style? Dye your hair? Change your makeup? Or overhaul your whole personal style?  I'd like to hear from you in the comments below.
