Here are easy tips that will help say ''I woke up like this" and actually mean it. 

1. Have a low maintenance hair style: Keeping a fringe may be trending big time, but if you have even slightly wavy or frizzy hair it may end up looking very shabby and requires a hell lot of time and attention to maintain. Keep a low maintenance hairstyle with lesser layers. Give your hair a polished look with hair serums and gels to keep your hair in place. 

2. Attention to detail: When doing a hair do for example a ponytail, take a few strands and wrap them around your rubber band and pin it in place with a bob pin. 

3. You hands speak volumes about your investment into your appearance. Opt out of brighter and darker nail colors as they fade out or chip off sooner. 

4. Practice your posture:  A good posture can instantly make any look  classier and put together, it is about how you carry yourself more than anything else. 

5. Make friends with a tailor: The key to looking polished is to have your clothes fit you to the T. Clothes that are too loose or too tight can make you look slouchy. 

6. Have a pair of signature earrings : Having a pair of signature earrings that go with everything, add variety to your wardrobe and can elevate any look. 

7. Always wear strong perfume: The women who looked polished, with impeccable hair and outfits, always wear strong and bold perfumes, even when they wear PJs.

8. Hairspray is your holy grail: give your unruly hair a quick touch up with hair spray. Flip your hair over and add some volume to it by adding hair spray.

9. Always-always-always groom your eyebrows and fill them in, it instantly makes you look more youthful and younger. 

10. Wear dark wash jeans: Though it is possible to make a lighter wash look polished, it requires a little more planning. Dark wash jeans always look more pulled together and are easier to style. 

11. Wear Nude makeup: Playing around with too much color can only make it all look like a mish mash and tacky! 

12. Ready set glow: With all the variety of illuminators and highlighters in the market, there is no need to look dull and pale anymore. Rock that highlighter and get glowing. 

13. Plan ahead: Be it your salon appointments or your outfits, allocate an hour a month to plan your grooming ahead. 

14. Don't over accessorize : Overdoing the accessories, layering too much can make an otherwise fashion-forward outfit look a bit forced. 

 15. Big sunglasses : A pair of structured big sunnies can make any outfit look elevated and structured.
