STYLE

If you secretly want to be a mermaid (and who doesn't?!), well, now you totally can. All it takes is a little strategizing when it omes to styling your outfit. Transform yourself from head to toe with these perf fashion pieces to be an IRL Ariel.

Hair
The first, and maybe most important, step in mastering your mermaid look is perfecting your locks. You can dye your whole head of hair pastel blue, ombre the tips a few colors or if your parents would seriously die before they let you touch hair dye, you can give your hair some mermaid vibes by adding in some loose waves and letting it hang. So simple, yet totally gorgeous.

Makeup: Eyeshadow
Mermaids = glitter. Amp up your eyes with a gorgeous pink shimmery shadow. 

Makeup: Eyelashes
Once your eyes are sparkling, spruce up your lashes with a curling mascara. They'll look *flawless*. 

Makeup: Lipgloss
Finish off your glam look with a pretty pink gloss. It'll tie everything together without going overboard. 

Shirt
On to your actual outfit—instead of walking around in a sea shell bra (because, let's be real, that's kinda awkward!) throw on a crop top in a bright or pastel color. Pink, purple, blue and green are all fab options.

Skirt
Like we said, merms are into the sparkles. Channel a mermaid tail with this over the top glittering skirt. Bonus points: you can keep your legs!

Shoes
Since you won't be sporting fins, make sure your shoes are included in your look. Add shoe clips to your flip flops. Try out starfish, shells or dolphins for under the sea vibes.

Jewelry: Earrings
Pearls are classy, and come from the deep blue. It's a perfect earring for your mermaid outfit since everything else is over the top. 

Jewelry: Necklace
This necklace is oh so cute and def makes a splash. It helps you look like you've been swimming all day and erases anyone's doubts that you are a true mermaid.

Nails
For the finishing touch, treat your fingers and toes to a little makeover. This polish is a shimmery hue every mermaid would love.
