That moment when the bed is a pile of clothes that just don’t work, the clock is ticking down super fast and there’s no outfit satisfaction in sight… I hate those mornings.

Part of me is screaming, “Look at the time! You’ve got to go!” While the other half knows that if I don’t settle on an outfit that I can be happy with, the whole day will be miserable.

That’s why I love combinations like this…

A blazer, t-shirt, statement necklace, heels and jeans is an outfit saver – day or night.

Why? Because it’s the perfect blend of casual and dressy, which means it all balances out to create a very chic look that works in all kinds of situations.

On the one hand, you’ve got an easy t-shirt and jeans combination. It looks effortless and it’s comfortable. To achieve this all you have to do is stock up on a good pair of jeans and lots of comfortable t-shirts. Easy enough.

On the other hand, you’ve got the blazer, heels and a statement necklace. We all know how far a great blazer will go, and statement necklaces are a cheap/fun thing to stock up on. That leaves the heels which in most cases could be a simple black pump (which you should own, young lady), or you can go crazy and do a patterned pump like I did.

Put it all together and boom. You are ready for anything my friend. And daaang don’t you look good.

If you don’t like blazers, you can substitute a cardigan for an extra .99 cents (paid to “TheSpiff.com”).

This outfit also works if you are superwoman and need to change quickly in a tight space. Or if you’re just someone who went to Dollywood after church and didn’t want to pack a complete change of clothes. Swap out the heels for tennis shoes, remove the blazer and the necklace and boom. You are ready for running anywhere my friend.

I’m going to stock up on variations of all these things, so I’ve got cute outfits to throw on all autumn long.
