the cozy factor
* as someone with a busy life and chronic exhaustion- i have fallen in love with wearing what i call “upgraded pajamas”. being able to comfortably and effortlessly leave my house while still looking stylish and cute is amazing and makes things quick and easy.
less makeup
* this doesn’t apply to everyone’s definition of “clean girl” but for me, it means less makeup!! as i’ve gotten older, i hate how i look with a full face of makeup. i don’t like how it feels on my skin, and it makes my appearance feel forced. the past year i have only worn mascara, lip liner, and done my eyebrows. this not only has increased my confidence and self love, but i feel like my look is elevated by only highlighting a few facial features that could use some extra help to stand out.
self care
* i have really been in my self care journey lately. i find it’s a super therapeutic way for me to love on myself and feel productive at the same time. skin care and hair care have been my 2 priorities in this journey. but i’ve incorporated natural body detoxes, dry brushing for lymphatic drainage, juice cleanses for gut health, etc!!
personal preference
* i have tried many different styles and eras as i’ve gotten older and this is the only one that hasn’t felt forced and leaves me feeling happy with how i look! it also has helped me to minimize my wardrobe and accessories and focus on other things in life that matter much more than the material things.

The 'Clean Girl' aesthetic has become a popular trend, emphasizing minimalism, natural beauty, and comfort. This lifestyle encourages individuals to embrace their true selves by reducing reliance on excessive makeup and elaborate outfits. As someone with a hectic schedule, I found solace in adopting a style that prioritizes ease and comfort without sacrificing elegance. In my pursuit of authenticity, I transitioned to wearing 'upgraded pajamas' that are chic but comfortable enough for my busy lifestyle. These garments allow me to step out feeling stylish without the stress of a complicated outfit. Fashion should be about confidence, not discomfort. Additionally, my skincare journey has become a vital part of my daily routine. By focusing on skin health, I aim to enhance my natural features rather than mask them. This includes a simplified makeup approach, using just mascara, lip liner, and brow products to highlight my best attributes. Furthermore, self-care practices like dry brushing and juice cleanses have empowered me to take charge of my wellness. This holistic approach contributes to both mental and physical health, fostering a sense of accomplishment and well-being. Ultimately, my experience proves it's possible to curate a wardrobe that reflects a more authentic version of ourselves while embracing comfort. Minimalism isn't about deprivation, but about making room for what truly matters—joy, self-love, and genuine expression.
