Why I Dress Up {Thoughts on Lingerie, Clothes, and Makeup}

Tracking PixelThis is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Figleaves. #livelovelingerie

Putting together an outfit or applying makeup may seem like a frivolous thing to some people, but for me, it’s a way to ensure that I start the day off on the right foot. I love sweats and hoodies as much as anyone, but there’s something about wearing a cute outfit, pretty lingerie, sparkly jewelry, and glamorous makeup that makes me feel like I can tackle any obstacle. Planning an outfit for a stressful or important day makes me feel in control of the situation. Whether I’m getting ready for a date, business meeting, interview, or even brunch with my girlfriends, I choose an outfit that makes me feel put-together, pretty, and most importantly- confident.

 Pretty lingerie may not seem important in everyday life, but even these foundational pieces can affect your mood, comfort, and confidence level. Choosing undergarments that are well-constructed and fit properly helps you look even better in your clothes and ensures that you’ll stay comfortable all day long. I recently picked up a beautiful lingerie set from Figleaves, and I’m completely enamored with the high-quality construction and feminine detailing. The baby blue coloring, lace inlays, scalloped edges, and cute bows make me feel girly and bring a fun and flirty feel to any outfit. Every time I put on the set, I instantly smile- it’s just so pretty. 


I love that the Figleaves website features 200+ lingerie, swimwear, and sleepwear brands in various price ranges and styles. I couldn’t believe how easy it was so to find a set that fit my style aesthetic and size so quickly. The “online fitting room” feature even helped me figure out that I’ve been wearing the wrong bra size for years (oops). I’ve been wanting to get properly fitted for lingerie for years, but honestly…who wants to have a random person all up in their business and knowing your measurements. Maybe it’s just me, but that situation sounds like my worst nightmare. I got the same result from quickly entering my measurements in the privacy of my own home.  The website features bra sizes A-K, so there’s something for everyone. If you’re interested in buying any of the lovely items from Figleaves, you can use the code LOVE10 for 10% off all full-priced items and free shipping! 


After creating a solid foundation with fun lingerie, I’ll add an outfit that fits my mood and goal of the day. On most days, my outfit consists of bright colors in classic silhouettes with fun accessories. I am not a morning person, but neon pink has a way of waking me up and makes me smile throughout the day. Just like your lingerie, choose an outfit that fits your personality, makes you feel confident, and projects your desired image. There’s no denying that looking cute gives every woman an extra boost of confidence and energy.

 My final step in my morning routine is adding a touch of makeup to enhance the parts of my face that I like and camouflage any problem areas. There’s no use worrying about dark undereye circles or the giant breakout that inevitably happens on the most important days of your life. Simply add a touch of concealer, a coat of mascara, and little color to your cheeks, lips, and eyes. You’ll look healthy, radiant, and feminine. I can personally guarantee that no one will examine your pores or wrinkles when you’re showcasing a bright coral lip and a big smile.

True beauty and confidence are found within yourself. Adding fun details like pretty lingerie or a delicate pink lipstick simply amplifies my confidence and helps me showcase my personality to others. I love seeing my friends’ routines and rituals as they get dressed up for an event, so I’d love to hear your traditions and thoughts about lingerie, clothes, makeup, and anything/everything girly in the comment section below.
