If  like me you occasionally press the snooze button a few too many times in the morning, or end up standing with your head against the shower screen with hot water hitting your back for ten minutes. Then, just like me you would know that feeling of urgency as you stand in, or in front of your wardrobe trying to work out what on earth you are going to wear and quickly before you are late for work.

My fail safe way to quickly put together an outfit is to grab a light neutral (my top), a dark neutral (my skirt and tights), a print (either the scarf, or if you have a multi-coloured or textured necklace) and a colour (the blazer).

I can find scarfs annoying after a while, particularly when I am working at my desk, which is why I wore the necklace under the scarf. My tan boots tie in really well with the necklace, but are neutral enough to work even when the necklace is covered.

After work I just switched out my boots and skirt for flats and my boyfriends for a more casual (and comfortable) look.
