As every career gal knows..
a normal day consists of trying to get up early enough to get in a workout, 530am. You sleep in your workout clothes so you can sleep an extra 2 minutes, I mean, it's necessary. You get to the gym or track and get back home in just enough time to shower and blow dry your hair. (Which takes a surprising amount of time that no husband or boyfriend understands.) You finish your routine, eat breakfast, grab a cup of joe, and turn on Matt and Al.
Now pause, this is where it can get messy. Do you spend the extra time getting ready or sitting down for 30 minutes before your 9 hour day begins. Yes, begins, it hasn't even started yet!
It is important to make sure you feel good about yourself the rest of the day. Sure, you worked out, you logged that! However, I always take a few extra minutes to put together an outfit that I feel good in, even if I pick it out the night before. I have a few go-to pieces that never fail me and that's what I grab instead of a basic tee. There are a few simple accessories that can make or break a girls day and I spend a little extra time on things that I feel good in; lip stick, eye make-up, hair, accessories. This makes the rest of my day feel more 'put together'.
It never fails, you know how it is, you don't spend that extra time on yourself and somebody wants you to go somewhere right after work and you wish you had. This happened to me a few weeks ago, I was lazy and didn't fix my hair or my make- up very well and the worst happened. Head shot for a newsletter had to be taken THAT day. I was so unhappy, but I had to do it. I still can't look at it 😱 .
This is what I'm talking about, make sure you leave the house feeling good. You deserve to. You are juggling life and that in itself is enough to wear a girl out.
Here are a few of my favorite items that can quickly dress up any day in very little time.

What are some of your go to pieces?

I LOVE my Tieks. They are super comfy and can go both casual or dressy. My go to jewelry piece would have to be my Kate Spade black and gold bracelet. My nails are almost always painted and I'm cheap, so I save money on the gel nails by doing it myself with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail polish. You don't have to wait forever for them to dry and they last for a week or longer (depending on how many times I have to wash dishes!). My last must have, and most of us have plenty of, is cute sunglasses.
