100 Answers to the Age-Old Question, "What Should I Wear?"
:extract_cover():upscale()/2020/08/06/871/n/1922564/8330ed945f2c6035247b01.25762166_.jpg)
If you've ever promised yourself you'd wake up early only to snooze five different alarms and stumble out of bed last minute, we feel you. Waking up can be rough — but not quite as rough as getting dressed on mornings like these. Nothing looks right (were you insane when you bought that top?!), clothes are everywhere, and you're about a nanosecond away from sobbing and pretending you're sick. ("Sorry, can't adult today.")
But rather than give up, what you need is a little direction. The key is not to overthink it: instead of channeling your inner runway model, opt for basics and style them around one statement-making piece. Read on for more inspiration as a few of our favorite influencers show you how it's done, then snap a photo of the outcome. And just remember to breathe!
