In order to start off the day on a more relaxed note, I try to put together an outfit the night before. If you’re one of those people that are fine with the outfit on the-day-of, and are able to immediately walk out of that door, good on you. If you’re a bit like me, and you take off everything after a quick inspection in front of the mirror, keep reading.

Turn that bling on

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “ugh, too drab”? Ding, ding, ding, bling is going to be your thing! Your outfit will light up with just a pair of geometric earrings. Feeling edgy? Mix it up.

Tuck it in

If you’ve put on a shirt that makes you look short and shapeless, try tucking it in. Named the French Tuck, Tan from Queer Eye graciously pushed it back into the spotlight. Read more on it here.

Just tuck in the front of your shirt in the front of your skirt or pants, making your waist appear once again. Not enough? Just tuck in everything.

Cuff it up

Want to show off those heels that cost a fortune? Roll up those cuffs above your ankles. And the wonderful thing is, it goes with any type of pants.

Change it up with a pair of low sneakers, or maybe some printed socks if you’re feeling quirky.

However, don’t roll it up more than three times as it might become too bulky.

Wrap it up

Another way to add some oompf! is by simply putting on a belt, be it either drawn through your belt loops, or by cinching in the waist. This way you it will look as if you’ve put a lot of thought in your outfit as you’ve added some proportions to your outfit.

If you want to go away from the regular belt, try using a band or maybe even a bumbag.

Dash of colour

If your outfit is looking too one tonal, try adding one brightly coloured statement piece. It will have the effect of drawing all the attention to it, in a good way. This can be done with a pair of coloured heels, or simply a bag.

So before you have to jump over mountains of tossed clothes to run out of the door because of your lateness, try these tricks first.
