Truth time: Sometimes I oversleep in the mornings. It's true, I in fact am NOT a morning person (as anyone who has to deal with me before 11am will attest). I frequently wake up to my fifth snoozed alarm, in a state of well...alarm. "WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR??" is the thought racing through my brain...usually preceded and followed by a few choice expletives... All that is to say I have formed a fairly effective set of rules for whirlwind dressing.
Number One: Clearly this isn't a day that you budgeted enough time for a shower, so dry shampoo is your friend (I swear by this one).
Number Two: Go with your gut,
just gravitate towards a go-to outfit and let your style instincts take over.
And finally, rule number three: statement necklaces make everything better. They magically say "Oh hey I put time and effort into this outfit, SideSmile." So it really can be as easy as 1, 2, Statement Necklace.
T-Shirt: StyleMint. Jeans: Zara (similar). Sandals: Sam Edelman. Bag: Alexander Wang. Sunglasses: Karen Walker. Jewelry: Nordstrom, Sweet Hair Tie, Lily and Laura, Alex Monroe. Necklace: Ann Taylor (last seen here, sold out-get similar here).
PS. The lovely Morgan of Lipstick, Louboutins, and Lemon Drops is featuring me on her blog today! Check it out here.
I'm also definitely not a morning person. I have to plan my outfits out the night before.
ReplyDeleteLove that necklace!
Congrats on the features! And u look great for not knowing what to wear in the morning! Super cute jeans!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your necklace paired with those jeans!

I have definitely not mastered the art of rapid dressing but you appear to be a pro - I love the addition of a statement to this necklace, it really pulls it all together.

you are so funny! Loved reading through this post! I, also oversleep on many occasions, and in fact don't have time for a quick shower (haven't invested in a good dry shampoo yet...so maybe I'll try that)...your statement necklace trick is so easy and really does add a lot to an outfit!
ReplyDeleteI like how you wore your statement necklace with a plain white tee...really makes it stand out!
Anyways..have a great day!!
