Looking stylish while on the run

It's no surprise that most of us live a fast paced daily lifestyle, whether you work, you're a student, or even a mom... We're always on the run!






As for me, my time is often limited and occupied by errands, work, college, and everything else that falls in between. So, I used to often struggle finding an outfit when I only had 15 min tops to get ready and out the door to start my day. I mean, we can all relate right? We've all definitely have had those moments where you just stand in front of your closet stressing because you only have a certain amount of time to choose something to wear.

I've managed to find some ways that best worked for me in these situations, so I wanted to share them with you!






I've always been the girl that goes shopping and heads straight to the "currently trending" type of outfits (& there's nothing wrong with that!). But, I've learned from many closet clean outs, that trends come and go, and basics stay forever. Most of the items I usually get rid of when I am seasonally cleaning out my closet, always tend to be the outfits that were currently trending at one moment, but that are no longer a "thing". This comes to show, that basics are essential.

Why? Well, when you are in a hurry to pick something out to wear: a basic necessity could always be mixed in with a trendy piece. For example, a graphic tee & a cute stylish skort (as seen on me). Funny enough, graphic tees have become one of my basic essentials to have in my daily wardrobe - they're so fun to dress up or down! (& they are easy to reach for).




I never though I'd come to this point - considering I would always live in heels. They just always make me feel taller and powerful. But, in reality...how practical is that? Trendy sneakers are having such a moment now, that they make any look feel comfy and stylish. However, don't get me wrong....I keep the heels in the back seat of my car (for just "in case" moments!).



We all have different roles in this society, so always dressing the part (especially when you're on the go) is important. If you're someone who maybe works in the corporate environment, you may have a totally different "on the run" look than a full time blogger wearing sneakers! For those mornings where your alarm clock doesn't go off and your boss is expecting you in the office by a certain time, it's important that you have an "emergency" outfit down that you know you can totally reach for without taking time to think about your options (this is where owning basics is important).

Not your basic button down shirt + how to revamp a simple look



I've always been a fan of the classic button down shirt. I mean, there's so many ways it could be styled! But, most recently I've seen many remakes and twists to the classic top every woman should have in her wardrobe (& man!)

Depending on your everyday life style, these type of style shirt dresses can be worn for various occasions because of it's classic fit, and fun detailing (like the waist tie & mixed print).

And lets be honest here, sometimes we really need to add a small detail to an outfit in order to salvage it. Hence, why I decided to style this shirt dress in a more edgy manner. Sometimes a certain piece can really amp up the entire look. Without the leather bralette & the tie up flats, the entire styling looked very vague. Using and adding details (if needed - don't over add detail or accessorize, it can kill a look) to an outfit can take it 0 to 100. As for personal preference, my style is always a little more distressed and effortless so this is the only way I am able to make outfits custom to my liking. Although, for those who love the more classic look, styling a dress like this with a simple sneaker or even pump can make a huge difference. Details are everything, they could make or break a look!
