What to wear is a daily question we all face. Some days are harder than others. It’s thrilling to meet that magic morning moment in your closet when the first thing you grab just “works.” So I couldn’t help but wonder… (nod to Carrie Bradshaw iykyk) what if we made an outfit for five different moods of the week?

5 outfits to match your mood:

1) Can barely leave the house…

It’s a Monday morning, and you’ve got the blues. You went BIG this weekend and are paying for it now. You could sleep all day, but you’re forcing yourself out of bed to a dreaded exercise, cup of coffee, or kids carpool. Even if you feel you might look a bit discombobulated, you’re not. Hang in there; these staples will help get you there.

Jacket - hides the bum
Sweatshirt - cozy
Sunglasses - they make the outfit, and you can hide behind them ;)
Hat - gives you a cheeky pop of color, even if you’re not feeling peppy
Handbag - can hold any and everything
Sweatpants - forgiving
Sneakers - the cool kids love them
Bling - everyone needs a little sparkle

2) Trying to pull it together…

You are rushed and need to get out the door in 10 mins! You’re preoccupied with the three back-to-back meetings you have and can’t think. When all else fails - denim on denim (or close enough to it) always does the trick. Throw on literally ANY jacket in your closet and it will work (animal print to a barn jacket will do.)

Jacket - loves a barn jacket
Top - always a win with a navy and black moment
Pants - slimming
Belt - unique
Bracelet - all year round
Tote - chic!
Sneakers - classic

3. Want to look cute…

You are sick of wearing the same sweats after drop off that you had every intention of changing out of but the day got in the way. You know you have pieces in your closet that will spruce up your style (and spirit), but not sure where to start. Here’s your answer: Grab a DRESS! Even if your day encompasses nothing you think is dress-worthy - grab the dress. There’s no time like the present to get yourself out of those sweats. It’s an instant fix.

Dots:

Jacket - perfectly cropped
Dress - who doesn’t love polka dots
Sneaks - dress it down and stay comfortable

Florals:

Dress - feeling Spring
Jacket - your Spring jacket on repeat
Flats - a happy pop

4. Crazed and on the run…

Your day is packed from beginning to end. You need an outfit that can take you anywhere, looking sharp, from a school parents' coffee to lunch with a new important client to meeting for happy hour with an old colleague at a swanky new hot spot in the city before meeting friends for dinner. You’ll have no time in between your day to change. You want to get this outfit right for all you tackle in the day!

Clockwise: The Frankie Shop, Jenni Kayne, Jennifer Fisher, Celine, Khaite, Loeffler Randall, Madewell

Trench - throw it on over anything
Dress - easy and elegant
Earrings - wear with everything
Sunglasses - the forever go-to
Handbag - your pop of color and bag of the moment
Boots - cute, comfortable, and chic to mix brown and black
Belt - cinch it up

5. Ready for it all…

The week has been long, and you’re ready to get out and shake it off. One can never go wrong with basing an outfit around a fabulous animal print dress with a leather jacket. The options are endless, and animal print just makes the night more fun. Take a load off in the best boots ever and enjoy the night. TGIF!
