Listen, there's nothing I love more than going into my closet and putting together an outfit that I've never worn before.

Something fresh, something new, something exciting.

There's nothing I love more than balancing silhouettes and coming up with a unique color palette and accessorizing in a way that's not too much but also

not too subtle. There's nothing I love more than this process. It's wonderful. And it's kind of a

hobby of mine. However, this is a time-consuming process. It doesn't take like 10, 20 minutes

to put together a brand new outfit. Now, it takes like an hour. And here's the

deal. I usually don't have an hour to get dressed. I'm somebody who likes to push getting ready to the

last minute notoriously. I usually give myself like 15, 20 minutes max to get ready. And that also

includes time for hair and makeup, which takes at least

10 minutes, leaving me with 10 minutes on average to get dressed every time I'm going somewhere.

So I can't always go into my closet and put together something brand new because that takes time.

And if I rush that process,

I end up wearing something that I'm not 100% confident. And over the years, I've realized

that that doesn't work for me. Because when I'm not wearing something that just works,

it's all I think about. I can't enjoy myself. I can't live in the moment. It's all I'm thinking about. It takes over.

And so I rely a lot of times on outfit formulas when I get dressed. It's the solution for me.

I have a handful of outfit formulas that I have stored away in my brain for those moments when I have

10 minutes to get dressed and I want to feel good. And so today I thought I'd share with you all

my go-to outfit formulas, not necessarily because I think they're the answer for you,

but to perhaps inspire you to come up with your own outfit formulas

that sort of work for your style and your wardrobe. Because I do think it's a really helpful

tool to have a mathematical equation that helps you get dressed. Because here's the deal.
