If your day starts with “I’ve nothing to wear” complain every morning religiously, then you’ve come to the right place.
But you don’t have to spend your entire salary on new clothes every month. That can only lead to two things – a pile of clothes and a pile of debt. Here are a few quick and stylish jugaads for you to permanently end the morning drama.
1. Accessories For An Instant Uplift!
Belts, scarves, jewellery, sunglasses, whatever accessory you like the best, bulk up on it. This way you can revamp your outfits is so many styles. For example, wear a slim belt with an A-line top and make it a peplum in no time. Turn the blue jeans and white shirt kind of basic days around with a funky scarf draped in a stylish way. Wear your shirt with a statement neck-piece underneath the collar and give a Bohemian spin to your office wear. Sky’s the limit, ladies!

2. Assign New Jobs To Oldies
Wear your mini dress as a tunic over skinny jeans and there you have the Deepika approved #DressOverPants trend. Turn dresses into tops by putting skirts over them or tucking minis into pants; turn one-piece bathing suits into bodysuits and wear with a classy high-rise trouser. Your bralettes can double as tops too, or a tube top as a mini skirt.The world (of fashion) is your oyster.
3. Take The Blindfold Challenge
Close your eyes or turn away from your closet and grab something randomly. No matter what it is, your challenge is to make an outfit around it and wear it! This will narrow down your options with what you can mix-and-match while also making you look at new combinations you might not have before. I’m definitely trying that one tomorrow!
4. Gym Clothes Don’t Just Belong In The Gym
Yes! Haven’t you heard of a trend called athleisure? Here’s a quick guide on how you can wear spandex outside the gym without looking like you’ve given up on life. Don’t believe us? Hear it from the Bollywood celebrities. Never miss a workout again!
5. Take That LBD Down A Notch
Every fashion girl has at least one black dress in her closet. But who says they can only be worn to parties? Cover up with a cool denim jacket and sneakers or with a checked shirt and brogues to work. No one has to know.

6. Basics To The Rescue
I have a pair of black bootcut high-rise pants that are my go-to on such days. I pair it whatever top I see first and I look all dressed up effortlessly. Invest more in basics than trends and widen the horizon of your wardrobe. For example, stock up on colourful camisoles and wear them over your tops and tees. A simple t-shirt dress can be styled in so many ways. You need only have one.

7. All Hail The Heels
Even a simple jeans and t-shirt day can be made to look extraordinary. All you need is a hot pair of heels and you’re done. Remember, Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life.
8. Bags Fix Everything!
There’s nothing a stylish bag can’t fix. Apart from your blacks and browns, keep some statement bags like embellished clutches, applique backpacks, colour-blocked satchels or cool crossbody bags in your closet. Good bags take you good places.

9. Shrug It Up
Whether you’re wearing a simple shift dress or the good ol’ jeans and top, a trendy shrug with tassels, fringes or a quirky print will add the missing charm to your #OOTD.
