5 minute outfit ideas

Monday, December 29, 2014

Those mornings when you oversleep or was just simply too lazy to get up and get ready and hour ago (even if limited with time!) scrambling around your just-cleaned bedroom to find an outfit for the day having absolutely no idea what to wear while looking like you took the time and effort to dress up- Coming to your rescue with some of my favorite go-to looks when in a rush or just struggling when trying to find the outfit!

Let's dive into it!

Look #1: Sweater and Midi Skirt
I had recently been obsessing over midi skirts lately, and I personally think they're the perfect go-to piece out there! I paired the skirt with a furry crop top sweater and red patent pumps. Appropriate and super cute for any outing!

Look #2: Oversized Cardigan and Accessories
Oversized everything is always my favorite. I prefer my cardigans and sweaters larger than my actual sizing because I love that baggy, slouchy effect it has- especially in cardigans. Oversized/batwing cardigans are my favorite types of light outerwear. I love pairing my cardigan with flowy tops and my favorite jeans. From there, I love to accessorize like crazy as it balances out with the oversized cardigan as a clothing statement. Then throw on my favorite chunky booties!

Look #3: Turtleneck and Skater Skirt
You could never go wrong with skater skirts. I like to pair my skater skirt with any crop top long sleeve (long sleeve > short sleeve because I live in Seattle) and throw on some slip-ons. To accessorize, a quirky headband and a crossbody bag. Very girly and comfy!
Look #4: Jacket and Skirt
You guys already know how much I cannot emphasize enough how easy it is to dress up by finding some kind of statement. Statement, statement, statement. You heard it all before. Start off by putting on a printed or textured skirt and pairing it with a top and jacket that color (or print) coordinates with the skirt. To top it off, throw on your fave booties (specifically ones with a pop of color).

Look #5: Minimal with pops of color
For me, I still find it risky and rather hard mixing totally different colors and prints together. But it's actually about how you coordinate and place it. For this outfit, I kept it typical with the white top and black skirt and from there, paired it with the essentials- which in this case are the pops of colors. I find pastel colors work really well together as they're not as mixed solid and bold colors making it overwhelming to the outfit.

Look #6: Sweater Dress and Booties
This is probably the easiest and my favorite SERIOUS go-to look. I love putting on a thick, oversized sweater dress and pairing it with some chunky booties. When it comes to accessorizing, I like to wear handbags that have a poppy, solid, bold color if my dress is a neutral solid color (black, white, grey, brown, taupe) Otherwise, if my dress is a non-neutral colored, or printed dress, I like to wear bags that color or print coordinate with my dress.

Look #7: Jacket and Pants
You could never go wrong with a fur coat and printed jeans! Balancing out is an important thing to remember when dressing up. Looking disproportionate one section of the outfit than another can really be a wtf moment. What I like to do to stay proportionate with my outfit is to choose a statement (there I go with statement again) jacket and bottom (1 & 4) while keeping my top and shoes simple. From there, if I feel I need more to add to my look, I go in with some accessories such as bracelets and/or a statement necklace.


I hope you guys enjoyed my favorite 5 minute outfits and found it useful! 

What's your go-to look?
