10 Ways to Look Presentable When You're Having an "Off" Day

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

We all have "off" days! 🙃I hope today's video gives you the tools to help deal with them :) Thank you to Native for bringing us this video. My link bit.ly/nativedailyc3 and code DAILYC3 give 33% off the deodorants and 20% off the body wash and toothpaste. Thank you, Native! I would love to hear your tips for dealing with an "off" day in the comments down below. Thank you for watching! Love, Jennifer

When all else fails, attitude is everything. I remember on my graduation day a sudden and terrible rain storm occurred, while we were out on the football field to receive our diplomas. It was a summer storm. Everyone was caught unprepared and drenched. Caps and gowns soaked. Beautiful hairstyles ruined. The girls all ran to the restrooms to try and salvage their appearances, some crying. My mother took my hair down and tried to ring out my gown. Then she said, no one can take your attitude from you. You walk out there like this is the biggest moment of your life. Smile a grand smile. Remember you are loved and by whom. This always comes back to me in moments when I am not on my best game.

[@Plethorality]

your mother was very wise. and congrats on your graduation.

Looking presentable is a form of politeness to those around us and a form of self care to let ourselves know we are worthy of some effort despite what is going on. These videos help me remember that way of thinking. Thank you 😊

[@laurasexton8932]

I have often asked my husband his thoughts as he's the one who has to look at the results all day

[@beckiehubley5798]

What's polite is NOT expecting people to be "presentable" to you, regardless of how they feel.

[@JamieM470]

@@beckiehubley5798 I've had to run to the store myself while in the middle of doing home repair or yard work, & I know I looked a mess. I don't expect other people to always look their best. But I don't think it's impolite to expect other people to have a little modesty. If "presentable" means not putting their thong underwear and camel toes on public display, I'm all for it.

[@mercurialpierrot7073]

No, being polite is just treating people nicely. Looks have absolutely nothing to do with it.

[@purltwotogether8218]

I love this video because I am disabled by a chronic illness and am inspired by my late nana who got dressed and did her face and hair even when she was dying of cancer. She always wanted to look her best. For me, even if I can't get dressed or do more than rest all day, putting on scent is the way I make myself feel better. But I love to pull on a dress, do a touch of makeup, pop earrings in and then I feel sooooooo much better but am still as comfortable as I'd be in my nightgown.

I’m so glad you said that about the yoga pants and tunic. It seems like “covering up” is foreign to so many people. It looks so much better, not to mention elegant when you don’t show...everything....

Exactly! I feel too exposed. I wish more people covered up. Nothing worse like those see through leggings where everything is on show.

[@JamieM470]

Me too! I wish a little modesty would come back in style.

I’ve seen some pretty kimonos at Costco recently that would make a great coverup.

[@amybee40]

I use my big oversized sweatshirts apres-gym. I would worry about a shawl falling off while I was shopping. Sunglasses -- always! And don't forget that in the store, all you have to do is put those sunglasses up top for a "california headband"!

I remember back when I was a lean size 6 (most of my adult life, actually) that being slim and healthy is actually the best "fashion accessory." Then you literally can make a ripped T-shirt and faded jeans look elegant with a scarf belt or big earrings. I miss those days, so I'm taking great inspiration from you and not eating after 6pm! When I do this combined with regular exercise, the weight falls off naturally, even at age 56. Blessings!

Your books and videos have been a primary source of real, honest to goodness help for me. Thank you! Someone I’m related to labeled me “vain” 10 years ago and I took it to heart and gained 40 pounds, stopped dressing up. Perhaps make a video to dispel the label when attempting to look presentable- NOT prideful.

[@robynwells8249]

My mom, who is and was my style icon-she always looked so elegant told me if your hair is combed, and you have on lipstick and blush nobody really notices anything else. Even when I have on joggers if I have on lipstick and blush people comment that I look dressed up. I also add the mascara and earrings. Throwing a blazer, or jacket on ups the level too. I’ve done this when I’m cooking and look a mess. Then I realize I need something from the grocery store I’ll throw a blazer, jean jacket etc over what I’m wearing and I no longer look a mess.

[@colleenwunderlich2030]

Blazers are a must for me. I collect them. You can put them on over just about anything and look dressed up. This is especially true now that we are all working from home and on zoom calls all day. I always keep a blazer within reach

I needed this yesterday. I was just not feeling it. I was able to French braid my hair so it didn’t look completely hideous. I definitely didn’t get any makeup on and wore my glasses all day. It was a good reminder that my mood is related to how I present myself to the world. (Finally getting my hair done tomorrow (it’s been 2 years! 😱😱) and I’m going short and blonde! I think that will for sure make me feel better each morning.)

[@squarepeg9484]

I do a high plait ponytail like 80s Sade, splash face with cold water, use mattifying blur creme, mascara and tinted lip balm on lips and cheeks. Black short or long sleeve T-shirt or Breton shirt and black palazzo pants or capri pants, and that’s it. Dark glasses when outside!

A headband is a fantastic option if you have bangs and they're just not cooperating and I love your idea of using a scarf! I've started using them to tie my hair back, whether it's an off day or not. Also, I think the Clinique Black Honey or Pink Honey are great neutral alternatives to lip gloss on days you don't have time or feel like doing a full le no makeup. lol

[@clementineclement5757]

To cover up after gym, another great tip is to wear a trench-coat, in a fabric that's lighter as usual, and in a shorter length. Under one condition : it's got to be chic , either in a lovely dove colour, a light tan or similar. Try and find a very good designer brand you can find on ebay or other vintage sites or thrift shops. Added bonus : can be worn with so many other outfits, over dresses, jeans, trousers etc

Versatile Athleta dresses are my secret weapon to look presentable after a gym or yoga session. As long as I am not sweaty, I throw one on after a workout and before I run errands. Yes, I was one of those who raved about Londontown in last weekend’s livestream. Ever since I started using their illuminating nail concealer (makes manicures so easy), there has been no excuse to let my manicures go anymore. Headbands are my secret weapon in Zoom meetings. Thanks to your videos, there is no excuse to looking sloppy, even if no one is watching. We never know when an old friend randomly pops in to say hi or FaceTimes us.

As someone with sensitive skin I appreciate their collection of lightly scented and unscented deodorants designed for those with sensitive skin.

I love the updo - it looks so good and I never would have thought that it would be so easy to do. Thank you for sharing that. Regarding yoga pants cover-up, I never run errands after I work-out. It's so tempting to do that if you are coming home from the gym. I stood in line at the grocery store once behind someone who just came from the gym and let me tell you, it was very unpleasant. That person's body odor was wafting through the check-out lines. I always try to remember that I may not think I smell unpleasant, but it doesn't mean I don't. I know some people swear they don't smell bad after they work out. Trust me everyone... you do...

I love wearing a bright coral or tangerine color near my face (a top or a scarf) to add color and cheerfulness into my features on an off day! ☺️☀️ brows and blush are a non-negotiable for me as there’s such little contrast in my face. Recently I’ve found out my color season and it’s been so helpful and confidence-boosting to wear the “right” items.

The Mer-Sea top also comes in solids. It's a lovely top - extremely well made!

Love this video, Jennifer! Great tips! I’ve been looking for a great scarf and some sunglasses. A Breton shirt and jeans with some red lipstick is my go-to look. So classic. Also, you look so beautiful! Your hair! That dress! I’m loving that shade of green lately. Thanks for all the great videos. ❤️

I don’t care about makeup. But when I go to work, I put some on. For me it is a show of respect, of trying to look clean and presentable. My top 3 are under eye concealer, some shadow (usually cream shadows) and lashes. As I work with students with articulation and language problems I use a bit of color on my lips so they can se them better through my see-through mask. I also need scarves as us teachers get throat aches really often. I try to color match them and secure them with a brooch, and they make me look a tad older but also a ton more presentable.

The make up VIP for me is tinting my eyebrows and lashes at home approx every 2 months. It makes me look a lot more awake and 'Bright' for some reason! That way even if I'm totally slack I still look ok, and with a swish of my fave eyeliner pencil I look presentable ☺️ and no need to worry about smudging the mascara!

Love it! I need a long cardigan WITH POCKETS for post workout!

I love your top. Great colour. Errr, thanks for the tips too.

I've been after a top knot headband for a while now, I finally found one and I absolutely love it! It's also great for smoothing down my weird postpartum baby hairs that are still growing out 20 months on 😂💕

What is the Londontown color you are wearing? Also about coverups-I have a couple of smart little black pull-on skorts that I wear over leggings...if I want to run to the store after a jog or walk. It looks modest and feels put together. Easy to pack in a tote.

Love all the tips! I don't wear nail polish, because it chips next day with how much I use my hands (dog training, gardening). I also wear glasses half the time, so its discouraging to wear makeup, lol. I'm not a huge makeup wearer anyways to be honest. I'm a tom boy type of girl most days😜Sunday's and date nights is when I dress nice😊

[@beefandchicken]

Just grab a dress! Wait, when is the last time I shaved my legs? Ok, pants it is. 😂

[@amybee40]

In the winter, I don't shave unless I am planning to wear a dress. In shorts season, shaving is a must.

[@kimmoore0427]

Omg same!

[@marylhere]

Grab a longer dress…and boots.

[@artdollz]

I hear ya! I don't shave my legs regularly, so I have to plan ahead if I want to wear a dress!
