S.O.S I have nothing to wear! Help?

We all have clothes overflowing and bursting at the seams of our wardrobes, but we all still suffer from the condition commonly known as “I have nothing to wear!”

Two words come to mind at an S.O.S fashion emergency – Planned vs. Spontaneous. Put them together and I tell you, you have one rocking adventure! S.O.S fashion emergencies are those desperate times we all pick up the hand phones and mass SMS to our girlfriends  ”I have nothing to wear, What do I do? Will this work? “ And no, you cannot escape this venture when we both know we have been through it countless times before . Us, divas want to always look our best ..full stop

You have one invitation to a wedding this weekend, another glamorous dinner function the day after or the boyfriend calls you up minutes ago threatening to steal you away on some romantic date . We've had it all! Maybe it is because we love being social butterflies (or just like wearing new things to special occasions **wink**) .

Before getting into our outfits, the hair do is the easy part so let’s get this out in the open and out of the way. Some time-friendly looks to create:

Look #1: Comb your hair back, make it look sleek and tie a low pony tail with side bangs

Look #2: Tease up some volume to the top of your head to make it vavavoom and use a hair spray for long lasting effect! And voila you have one red carpet look ready.

Look #3: Side pins with a flower accessory or a big hair piece to the side? Depending on the occasion you will probably need to pick the right colour to suit your look.

No frills? Go for the these!

•       Head down, shake your hair up and bundle your hair together to form a high ponytail from your tophead! And you have the clean ready to go out look all done.

•       Do a shampoo commercial head turning in front of the mirror to get some volume on your hair. You will then get a messy out of bed look that looks hot and sexy for your night. **claps** Don't forget to apply some hair wax to get that slight wet look effect.
