How many times do you leave the house feeling “blah” because you ran out of time, couldn’t figure out what to wear, threw your hair up in a messy bun and just had an “it’ll do” attitude only to feel drab and self conscious the whole day?
If this isn’t you, then that is amazing! However, for many, this can be a reality and it doesn’t need to be!
Below we are sharing some simple style hacks, tricks and ways to get out the door in record time but allow you to still look stylish and feel fabulous.
- Be prepared and plan ahead to avoid last minute “what to wear” scenarios. Co–ordinate your clothes and accessories and press your outfit the day/night before.
- Ensure your wardrobe has items that you know fit well and are in good repair.
- When strapped for time a dry shampoo will be your
best friend. - Have items in your wardrobe that you LOVE and that depict your style, are perfect for your colour palette and body shape. This ensures that you feel fabulous whenever you get dressed for whatever the occasion.
- Detox your wardrobe and remove any items that no longer serve you. This will save time sifting through unwearable items and allow you to create outfits more easily.
- Ensure you have some accessories that make our outfit POP with minimum effort. These can be statement earrings, a coloured cross body bag, funky shoes or a new season lip colour.
- Try a headband or scrunchie to add colour and interest to your outfit. These hair accessories will also save you time styling your hair.
- Create an inspiration file on your phone. Use technology to create fashion files, vision boards and inspiration as “cheat sheets” when you need a quick style fix (or let us make one for you at a VC Style Update Session!).
- Use Pinterest or Instagram to have “hair hacks” to refer back to.
- Paint your nails in a clear lacquer to avoid high maintenance touch ups from chipping nail polish colour.
- Flat lay and photograph your outfits on your phone and when you are strapped for time, open up the gallery and pick an outfit that is right for the occasion.
- Straightening your hair at the beginning of the week will save time styling every morning.
- Keep it simple. Stay true to your personal style and
colour palette and wear things that you know are perfect (save the complicated outfits for days when you have
extra time). - Don’t over complicate your outfit. Stick to 2–3 colours and have 1 statement accessory.
- Avoid clothes with lots of buttons or fiddly fasteners, these just take up unnecessary time.
- Try layering a “good” dress over a casual tee for a relaxed feel. This styling hack will also ensure you get the most use out of your entire wardrobe.
We hope these tips leave you feeling fabulously stylish when time is not on your side! Vibrantly yours, Sam & Jordi xx
