Even if you never remember or have enough time to plan your outfit the night before, you can still zip out the door looking coordinated, professional, or perfectly casual.
Here are some easy guidelines:

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Just your existing wardrobe will do
  • Willingness to organize
  1. Step 1

    1. Organize Your Closet-Keep your workday and weekend wear separate.
    This narrows your choices and makes it easy to see what works together-and what doesn't.

  2. Step 2

    2. Don't Waste Time Going Through Your Dresser Drawer for the right pair of panty hose or underwear. Just fill a drawer with emergency items such as extra panty hose in a variety of shades, one of your better bras (or two), and one (or two) essential pairs of underwear.
    You can also add whatever else you deem essential.

  3. Step 3

    3. Put Clothes Away In Ready-To-Wear Condition-If something needs to be ironed, do it before you put it away.

  4. Step 4
    You won't have time to do this if you're running late! Make any repairs the day or night before.

    4. Never Put Away A Garment That's Missing A Button-This also applies one that's losing a hem or needs to be dry cleaned. Because you may find yourself making multiple changes when you should and need to be heading out the door!

  5. Step 5
    Always a classic option

    5. No Time To Iron-Stick with knits or better yet, wash-and-wear or perma-press items. They're not only fashionable, but they're also wrinkle-resistant. And they'll enable you to get out the door-Quickly!

  6. Step 6
    A one-color outfit (or two)

    6. Build A Wardrobe in The Same Color Range because it's super-easy to get dressed (it really is; I do this a lot!).
    If you buy a few good pieces that can be mixed-and matched, you'll never be at a loss for something to wear.
