A Go-To Simple Outfit Formula (That’ll Save You Time and Stress!)

J. Crew striped tee and blazer

Have you ever been in a major rush trying to make it out of your house by a certain time, not having a clue what to wear? You’ve tried on a bunch of different outfits but none of them work, and you’ve felt SO frustrated because you’re gonna be late! I know that I’ve been guilty of this many times…

When it comes to choosing your outfit and getting dressed in the morning, something quick and easy that looks put-together is a must! Since most of us are juggling school, work, and events it’s important to have a go-to outfit that you can reach for time and time again.

A tried-and-true simple outfit formula that won’t let you down is key!

Whether you’re planning ahead or putting your look together in a pinch, it’s sure to save you time and stress!

Your New Go-to Simple Outfit Formula (that’ll save you time and stress!)

Basic Bottom + Basic Top + Layer + An Accent/ Your Fave Accessory

A basic bottom like a pair of dark jeans, or a skirt is the perfect foundation for your easy, outfit! Throw on a basic top like a crisp tee and top it off with a layer like a denim jacket or a blazer.

Now, what really makes this simple outfit pop is the added accent and/ or fave accessory. You can wear a bold lip to add a fun accent or an additional texture like a neck scarf, to make your outfit more interesting. Finally, finish off the look with your fave accessory, whether it’s statement earrings, a purse, your go-to jewelry set, etc.

No matter what you choose, what’s great about this outfit formula is that you can really make it your OWN! That’s what so fun about fashion.

With this outfit formula, you can even re-discover pieces in your own closet that you may have even forgotten were there.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PIECE THAT YOU REACH FOR TIME AND TIME AGAIN? DO YOU HAVE A GO-TO OUTFIT FORMULA? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS!
