Time for style?

With all the things we have to do, how much time do we spend considering what we are wearing?  As far as I'm concerned I want to go to my wardrobe grab something and go, however having a grab and go wardrobe doesn't have to mean a boring wardrobe.

It's all too easy to fall into a style rut, throwing on the same things in the morning because it's easy and we've got to get the kids to school or an early morning meeting or lecture.  But just because we have busy lives it doesn't have to mean we lose all sense of our own style.  
Being stylish also doesn't necessarily mean we have to spend hours selecting our outfits, or for that matter we don't have to throw away all our jeans. We just have to ensure everything we buy is right for us and our lifestyle and works hard for us.

  • Shop efficiently and I don't mean combining clothes shopping with doing the family shop in your local supermarket.  I mean plan your purchases and ensure everything you buy can be worn a variety of ways. THIS IS KEY TO BEING ABLE TO 'THROW' SOMETHING ON.
  •  It's important to feel good about yourself and often the way we look has a direct impact on the way we feel.  Just because your life is busy you must take time-out once in a while for a little pampering.
  • Get organised, ensure you wardrobe is in some sort of order that works for you, make sure everything is within easy reach and that includes accessories.   Think about what you're going to wear the night before.
  • Accessorise!  Yes, that's an order.  Black trousers and a white shirt = dull (or waitress) black trousers, colourful or patterned belt, chunky necklace or brightly coloured scarf and now we're talking an interesting stylish outfit.
  • Tinted moisturiser, a sweep of bronzer, a lashing of mascara and a daub of lip gloss all can be applied in less than 10 minutes, but will make such a difference in the way you look and feel.

Do you have any time saving tips? What is your favourite throw on outfit?
