I hope you had a great weekend! I have a confession to make. I’m not a morning person (even though I’m trying to start waking up earlier to exercise…). At all. If I had my way, work would start at 10. Unfortunately, I don’t get to make the rules. I’ve learned that laying out my clothes the night before helps reduce my stress in the morning. I wish I could say that I do it every night before bed, but that isn’t always the case. On the mornings when I’ve overslept or hit snooze one too many times, I generally throw on a dress or fall back on my tried and true combo.
My tried and true combo is so simple and easy. It wasn’t until I started taking pictures of my outfits for the blog that I realized I had a go-to formula. My go to combo is a top and bottom of the same color (usually black or white) and a different color blazer. I’ve worn all black outfits with a white or pink blazer, all white outfits with a blue or camel blazer, and the all navy outfit above. Since I have quite a few basics in the same color, it always works and looks polished without a lot of effort.
This all navy outfit with my J Crew Regent camel blazer is a perfect example. The navy pants and sweater are cute but don’t really make a statement on their own. However, the camel blazer (one of my favorite pieces!) pulls everything together and makes an effortlessly chic outfit.
Do you have a tried and true outfit combo?

Even though I would consider myself a morning person, I still need help! I like to at least have an idea of what I am going to wear. This is the perfect outfit. I always love seeing how you style that blazer. It is so good!

I always feel like you’re the professional version of my style/what I would wear if I worked in an office. I think this just proves it since we both have blazers as part of one of our go-to outfit combos! Love how you styled this piece, my fellow Aquarian. :)

It’s good to have an easy outfit shortcut like this. I am not a morning person either so laying out my clothes the night before just makes a smoother morning! No stress! (I need one of those blazers…they need to go on super-duper-over-50$-off-sale so I can get one!)
