Have a go-to fashion plan for challenging mornings

You were up late last night and didn’t hear the morning alarm. Now you have one hour to get ready before rushing out the door to an important meeting. To prevent this type of panic, plan ahead and have a go-to fashion plan. It will ensure you pull off an amazing look, even when time is tight.

In her fun book “Practically Posh: The Smart Girl’s Guide to a Glam Life,” author Robyn Moreno recommends all women’s closets have these three go-to outfits:

  • Sexy dress you can play up or down
  • Professional outfit (think tailored blouse and slacks or tasteful dress)
  • Comfy but chic casual duds (fashionable but forgiving)

Then there’s your hair. If it’s greasy and there’s not time for a wash, the folks at Cosmopolitan recommend powdering your roots. Marie Claire offers tips about hairstyles in 15 minutes or less, while Real Simple posted a video on applying makeup in just 5 minutes.

To finish your look always have a classic pair of heels and a simple purse you can find easily.
