the rise of the low maintenance style

Low Maintenance Fashion { source }

Let's face it: sometimes getting ready in the morning is just not at the top of your to-do list. The process sometimes feels too tedious to endure, resulting in going for a toned-down, last minute look. I'm talking sweatpants, hair tied, chilling with some makeup on (Drake knows what's up). This collective need to kind of chill out in terms of fashion and makeup has led to the rise of the low maintenance style. This isn't as bad as it sounds; it doesn't involve laziness or lack of hygeniene. Low maintenance style is more about looking your best with the least amount of things, and this is a concept a lot of people are now able to get behind.

I'm baaaaaaack. Like, hopefully really back. The problem was that my camera charger is gone. I think forever. And, sure, I could just wander over to the battery store and buy a new one, but that takes effort, and that sounds gross. So, for a quick fix, I am currently using my old Kodak camera until I can muster up the energy to go buy a new battery. So, until then, enjoy these kind of grainy but still super cute outfit photos. Yep, that's about right.

Okay, now I'm going to get real with you guys for a second. My hair is pink. Like, pink, pink. And I love it. What do you all think? The purple was okay, but I really, really love this pink. Expect it for a while, because I'm not letting it go anywhere.

I really missed posting here, and one of my resolutions in 2015 is to start posting more regularly, so I'm going to do just that. I'm going to start with Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Tuesdays being "Try This Tuesday" and Thursdays being an outfit from my own mind. I'm super excited to start this blog back up. Let me know what you think about my hair in the comments!

New feature alert! New feature alert! I am super excited to share with you something I've been working on for a while. You know when you're scrolling through my Pinterest (ahem) and you find an outfit you reeeeally love or that you totally think you can recreate, so you pin it? But then that outfit sits in your board and is completely forgotten? I understand; I used to do that too. Not anymore, though - say hello to Try This Tuesday!

Triple T (as I affectionately call it) is a weekly blog post where I take an outfit that I found on Pinterest and fell in love with and show you how I recreated it! Keep in mind this is not "oh this outfit is kind of close, it'll work" kind of inspiration, but it's more of "oh i have a super similar clothing... it's almost an exact match" kind of inspiration. Don't worry, you'll understand as the feature develops.

Overall, I'm just super excited to be evolving Lichtenstyle in the kind of direction I've been planning for a while. I can't wait to see what happens next, and I hope you come along for the ride!

First of all, did I not already improve on my posing? I told you guys that it's all about being in the swing of things!

Anyway, I was looking through my post drafts and found one that was going to be my first new post when I reopened this blog and it was, believe it or not, a youtube video! It was of me explaining all about m new style and the new, darker kinds of clothes I was going to be wearing, but then I look at outfits like this, and I think "what was I thinking in that video?" There are definitely times when my style will differ to be darker, but there will be times when it looks like this as well. I've since deleted that video and moved on to just showcasing how I love to dress and, hopefully, what you love to see. Cheers to self-understanding.

So... I'm blonde. Surprise! I bet you weren't expecting that! It's been a long time coming, but I absolutely love the color, and I'm so glad to call myself a part of the blonde club. It's still weird for me sometimes, like looking up and just seeing my head full of blonde hair. I'm not 100% used to it... it's just... weird.

I'm also getting better at posing for photographs! Hooray! Maybe I won't look as awkward with my limbs as I usually do. You be the judge (#stillawk).

I'm excited to get posting again. I absolutely missed the blogging life and am so excited to be back!
