7 Items for Easy Insta-Glam

We all know life can get hectic, and when it does it's not always easy to focus on style. I've been a victim of frumpy outfits just because I'm too pressed for time.
So, I put together a list of 7 items every woman should own for effortless insta-glam. Getting dressed in the morning shouldn't be a chore, and this will help ensure it stays fun for you.

1. The Statement Necklace

Pick one that's specific to your style and most of the jewelry you already wear. You want it to fit easily into your current wardrobe so that you can throw it on in the blink of an eye, and your outfit be instantly complete and glamorous.
2. A Vibrant Scarf

There are so many options out there for vibrant, printed scarves you could probably start an arsenal of these. American Eagle has an array of printed scarves for around $20. Again, you'll want to pick one specific to you, so that you don't have the hassle of matching it to something.
The beauty of a vibrant scarf is that it typically serves as your "pop of color." You don't have to match anything to it and it can go with the simplest of outfits, like jeans and a tee.
3. Nude Heels


The great thing about nude heels is that they literally go with everything you already own. They're a blank slate! Another great thing about these is they instantly make your legs look longer (who wouldn't want that?!).


Wear them with fancy shorts, skinny jeans, your favorite LBD...I could go on and on, but you get the picture.


4. A Printed Maxi Dress


















These dresses do ALL the work for you! With their bright colors and bold prints, they're enough of a show on their own so you can keep the accessories to a minimum and wear a great pair of platform sandals or wedges - DONE. If it needs to be work appropriate, add a cropped sweater or jean jacket.
5. Black Pencil Skirt

The pencil skirt will forever be a sleek favorite of mine. You can pair it with a white collared shirt or a vibrant scoop-neck tee, either way you wear it - it's a no-brainer. Add your favorite pair of pumps to complete this chic number.


6. Skinny Jeans

A pair of dark skinnies accentuate your figure nicely and they're naturally a blank slate. They can be casual with a tee, or you can go dressy with a printed kimono-style top and heels. The only trick here is, buy the size that fits. I cannot stress that enough!


7. Cropped Blazer

You can add a simple and chic black blazer to any outfit for effortless glam. A cropped blazer or boyfriend blazer with cropped sleeves is great for all seasons. Wear it with your favorite sheath for work, or with jeans for a dressy date night look.
