How many times have we uttered the lie “I’ll be ready in 5!”

When I find myself in a time crunch for getting ready (something that occurs often) nothing works better for me than grabbing the classic pieces in my closet. Ralph Lauren button-ups ( and sweaters are a must have), denim shorts and fun flats or a low heel shoe are my perfect go too’s. The button up shirt is effortlessly chic and goes well with a number of bottoms; shorts, skirts and jeans, you can hardly go wrong. A colorful yet nicely structured bag, like this one from coach, is a outfit lifesaver, it works with so much in my closet ( mainly because I love neutrals ) and always adds a great splash of color.

So next time you tell your friends, husband or family to give you 5 minutes, you won’t catch your pants on fire!
