Bright and Sassy

It can be so hard to find a work appropriate outfit. It's always the hardest when you're running late, having a bad hair day, and end up hating every single thing in your closet. Before you freak out, read the six effortless essentials you need to make early mornings a little less chaotic.

1. A blazer: Stay classic with this item and go with black or gray (theyskens' theory slim fit blazer )

2. Straight skirt hemmed just below the knee is flattering and work appropriate (Warehouse peplum skirt)

3. A fine-knit sweater; make this your pop of color piece (Joseph red cashmere sweater)

4. Long sleeved dress (RED Valentino jersey knit dress)

5. A black bag:  Look for a simple style that's not too oversized (Balenciaga leather tote handbag)

6. A classic shoe: A black pump will go with everything on this list (Christian Louboutin peep toe high heels)
