Maximum Effect, Minimum Effort™

Ok, folks, what we have here is what I like to call Maximum Effect, Minimum Effort™: a formula that I have developed during quarantine for when I want to feel a little more like my pre-Q self. Start yourself off with a voluminous maxi dress—must be comfortable! Non-negotiable. *Bonus points for a happy design or color. If you must leave the house, a sneaker or lace-up sandal to accompany your mask. H+MU? Concealer—maybe foundation, and mascara. Ponytail; curl the bangs out in front. Additions include, but are not limited to: fun earrings, bright lip color, quirky eyewear, layered necklaces, and a bra (if you so choose or require). That’s all, folks! This is how I’m coping ensemble-wise.

As I sit here and type this, I am in a dingy lime green fleece and black joggers I’ve worn 87% of this quarantine that need to be washed—sometimes, it be more like dat. AND BOTH ARE OK.
