Tired and messy. :: Style.

I'm not the kind of girl that wears a lot of make up. I might put on some powder or a touch of eye liner for special occasions- but honestly, I'd rather not. I believe in being natural. And feeling beautiful without beauty standards. Nearsightedowl makes me happy with her posts about positive body image and wearing what you want, no matter your size. Below is my tired face, my I-just-got-out-of-bed face. Mornings are the hardest part of my day, dragging myself out of bed, getting up and having to eat something. Luckily, the work I do is enjoyable, and most days there are lots of things to look forward to, so I take a deep breath and look in the mirror and learn to love myself a little more than the day before. Tired face, and all. Kimxo
p.s. this cardigan was from my grandma. someone close to our family made it. :]

You don't need makeup! You have such great skin! x

I don't even own hardly any make-up! I had to buy some foundation for a wedding I was a groomswoman in, but other than that, nada. It's so expensive and I save tons of time skipping it.

you are gorgeous! :) did I tell you about the project I did for foundation where I had to take loads of photographs of myself seconds after I'd woken up? I pinned them all around my studio space. Happy times. Alas, I have skin like a 13yr old's, and while I know looks don't matter etc, it makes me feel dirty to look at it! :/ Hey ho. lifehard.

Your tired morning face is a pretty nice face, and it's the kind of face that makes me think if I commented as often as I read, we'd be good crafting friends :-) Your sweater looks pretty sweet, too.

Lady, you look gorgeous! Seriously. I especially love your hair and outfit - that cardi is so comfy looking!

You could say I use make-up like a little girl does... It's like dress up. I love colors and textures, changing my look and looking pretty just because I'm *me*, it's just a little something extra!

However, I have uber sensitive skin... So I rarely ever where more than lipstick/gloss/chapstick/etc.

Make-up IS wonderful, in my opinion, but it's NOT a "must wear" thing. Everyone is gorgeous in their natural state!

P.S. I'm a new reader - hi!
