Do you feel comfortable in your skin? I’m talking really comfortable in your skin? And no, I’m not taking about not wearing make up, nor is this a wear your natural hair only post. This is a post about loving who you truly are and how God made you. Social media can skew the perception of what society thinks is “beautiful.” It used to be that slim bodies were considered to be the beauty standard, women felt pressured to lose weight in order to feel attractive. Now it seems that BBL, liposuction, and other plastic surgeries have become the norm. The way society views beauty changes the we as women think we should “look.” So before you decide to start your next diet, think you need to change your hair, or decide on elective plastic surgery, I want to remind you that YOU are beautiful. You are beautiful just the way you are. You are perfect just the way you are. You do not need to change anything about you to be more beautiful. You do not need to lose weight. You do not need to gain weight. You do not need to straighten your hair to be more beautiful. You are everything and so much more just the way you are. So if no one has told you today, you are absolutely beautiful babe. Please don’t ever stop being you. - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin

It’s sundress season! Okay, so this sundress season is nothing like we could have ever predicted. We can’t leave the house. There are no trips, no brunches, and definitely no long walks on the beach. So instead, I’m finding a few other ways to squeeze in a sundress here and there for my blog, because let’s face it, summer isn’t complete without a sun dress! Today’s sundress is from reddress.com! Red Dress based in Athens, GA! They release new arrivals twice a day, and feature clothing that is just my style. Majority of my sundresses are from Red Dress, with many of them purchased during January’s end of season sale. This gorgeous multicolored striped dress features an off-the-shoulder neckline, and a V-cut in the skirt, creating flow in the skirt as you walk. I decided to pair my dress with a pair of sandals from shophopes.com! Because of the off-the-shoulder neckline, I opted to pair a simple gold chain necklace with the dress and small gold hoops. Happy Monday! - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin  Do you ever dress out of your comfort zone? I mean really dress out of your comfort zone? Like, bright neon colors, or a perhaps a blush pink cupcake dress during the middle of quarantine? I got some stares when I stepped out of the car on my birthday and walked up to The Cheesecake Factory wearing this dress. I’m sure their stares were consumed with thoughts wondering why in the middle of the day, in the middle of quarantine, I felt the need to wear THIS dress, but I honestly didn’t care. I’ve always dressed outside of the box. Ever since I was a child my wardrobe has been full of tutus and clothing with ruffles. I’ve always loved big bows, the color pink and to stand out from the crowd.  Nude lips have been giving me L-I-F-E lately. In fact, there is nothing I love more than a nude lip paired with groomed brows and lashes. No other make-up is needed if you can pull it off properly. I’m always down to find affordable make-up products for my babes. Today’s make-up products are from Wet and Wild. You’re probably thinking “who on earth still wears Wet and Wild products? We wear Mac and Fenty Beauty now, beloved.” But I promise you, if you don’t have this Wet and Wild lipstick and liner duo in your possession, that you’re missing out! Step one of applying any lip product is to exfoliate your lips! My favorite lip exfoliant is Milani Rose Sugar Lip Scrub/Exfoliant. It’s available for purchase at Ulta for $9.99 and helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing soft and kissable lips. You’ll apply the product to your lips for thirty seconds in a circular motion and then remove the product with a tissue. I use this product daily.  Next, you’re going to line your lips with Wet and Wild Perfect Pout Gel Lip Liner in the color Bare to Comment. This lip liner is easy to apply, and goes on smooth. The color is very natural, and adds a rosy hue to your lips. This lip liner is the same color of the lipstick, so it will act as a barrier to help the lipstick stay on the lips only and not bleed over into the skin.
Finally, complete your look by adding Wet and Wild Mega Last High-Shine in the color “Clothes Off.” For my brows and lashes I use two of my favorite Urban Decay products. I’ll be sharing my favorite Urban Decay products next Wednesday on The Mod Little Melanin. #themodlittlemelanin Remember the Bermuda shorts we wore as a kid? You know the plaid ones, with a matching polo? Well honey, Bermuda shorts are back, and these aren’t your mom’s Bermuda shorts! When I found these cargo Bermuda shorts from Nasty Gal, I knew they needed to become a part of my wardrobe. They’re a light wash short, with a high-waisted fit and all the elements of cargo pants that you love (or maybe hate, who am I to predict your love of cargo pants?) So what’s the best thing about styling your Bermuda pants in 2020? Because they’re high-waisted, you’re able to pair a cute cropped top or a bodysuit with these shorts to make styling effortless and easy. One shoulder tops have been a favorite of mine this summer. Traditionally, they’re reserved for nights out but they can also be appropriately styled for daytime wear as well. I purchased this top from a company, I’m choosing to no longer support for a variety of reasons. However, I have a few one shoulder tops that will be available from @shopthemodlittlemelanin, my stores Instagram boutique this August! Stay Stylish! - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin  |
