When I was in high school, I used to lay out my clothes the day before (did anyone else do this?)... And while I don't technically still lay out my outfits, I usually have an idea of what I want to wear the next day. I really try to avoid the dreaded morning routine of staring at my closet with glazed eyes and the clock tick tocking away. On the inevitable mornings when I'm outfit clueless and need to be at work in the next 20 minutes - there is one go-to look that requires literally no thinking. Put on a dress and simply add shoes and an accessory, and you are guaranteed to look pulled together. A dress really is a girl's best friend (please don't tell Rex I said that)!

Heather, I totally agree! I do the same thing, when I am running short on time and have to get to work, I usually just throw on a dress and head out the door. I love the pleats on the neckline of your dress!
You look very classy, with the dress and the bun! I like it.

Heather, you look absolutely gorgeous here, especially in that first picture. The dress is perfect! I am big into navy over black these days too... the same effect but something a little new and different. Oh, and I did lay my clothes out the night before in HS :)... I wonder how many fashion bloggers did NOT do this?! :)
i WISH i had the time and energy to lay out clothes the night before. i always run late to work in the morning b/c i am trying to figure out what to wear hah! you look soo pretty in that dress!

I need to be more like you. I hate mornings because I never know what to wear :-/ I end up staring at my closet for like 20 minutes before anything occurs to me. I love your wedges!

Sometimes I really do have to actually lay out my outfit the night before because sometimes I just have no energy and lack creativity so doing it the night before helps me.
That dress is so perfect on you! I totally agree that dresses are the way to go for easy, brainless dressing :) And I still do lay out my clothes sometimes, especially if I know I'm going to be really busy/rushed in the morning - it really does help streamline the routine!
that dress is beautiful! such a lovely color on you! xx
Yes! I laid my clothes out every night before school! I don't do that anymore and I keep thinking I should!
Your dress and bag are fabulous!
following you now!Feel free to follow back!:)

I think we all know that feeling of staring blankly at our closets for 20 minutes in the morning all too well. Dresses really are a girl's best friend (especially this one), you just can't go wrong with it!
So elegant and pretty! Love your blog!
Elegant as ever, my dear :)

I always laid out my outfits the night before too...and one year I even wrote them all down (guess I was destined to be a fashion blogger and keep track of my outfits, ha). Anyway, I love that dress. It has such pretty details, you really don't need anything else!
I really love how you did your hair.
And yes, I also.. Noww haha lay out my clothes.
Because I don't have much time in the morning, and to choose your outfit, it takes a lot of time. And ps: love your outfit. Especially your dres..

p.s. I use to pick out my clothes the night before school also :)not so much now lol!!
Happy Wednesday Pretty Girl!!
Yes, dresses are so easy to style when you're short on time. That dress is amazing on you. Perfect color!
I have to say I was laughing at your 'staring in your closet w/glazed eyes' cause that's JUST what I do!
I used to figure out the night before what I'd wear to work, but stopped and now designate the 2 minute teeth brushing time to stare at the hanging clothes, only to still not know what I'm wearing. haha I haven't fully embraced dresses just yet. Still a bit timid.
Love love this dress on you!

Oh, I am so the same. When I don't have anything planned, I always go for the black with colorful accessories!
I've just discovered your blog and love it! You are so beautiful and stylish!

I totally still lay out my outfit every night before I go to bed ( and Sean's too!). I guess I never grew out of it!

nice outfit!
I did that too, if only because it meant I could sleep in 10 minutes longer, haha! :) I love the details on this dresses' neckline :) x
WOW, I absolutely love this dress on you! It's simple but chic and elegant! The shoes are perfect and I love your hair like that! You have a definite Audrey vibe going on and that is perfection in my book! WOW!
I usually plan my outfit out the day before as well! I need some dresses like that, it's so sophisticated and perfectly put together!
I still lay out my outfit the day before other wise I will be late! Grrr I am really slow at deciding what to wear. And I totally agree, dresses are really great as part of a go to outfit. Anyway, I love this outfit. Your dress is really pretty and so are the snake print shoes.
I do EXACTLY this. I also refuse to get out of bed until I have made a decision of what to wear if I changed my mind overnight.
Thanks so much for coming and visiting I did tell you . I love your blog and you have a new follower in me :)
Aw your dress is so beautiful and fits perfectly on your shape! You look adorable, dear! Great sense of style! If you get a second, I'd love to hear your thoughts about my latest post :)

haha I use to lie in bed and mentally prepare my outfits for the next day. Sometimes I'd wake up and completely forget what I had previously envisioned. This dress is the perfect go to staple, plus that perfect bun of yours helps too.

I'm always trying (and often failing) to avoid the staring at the closet thing too. So I'll lay out stuff the night before. No shame!
Love your hair!
Wow, what a fantastic color on you! You look so very chic in this dress. I'm also jealous of your hair in these photos-how did you get such a perfect, sleek updo? Just lovely :)
Very Kate Middleston esque. Pretty

This dress looks so comfy and so stylish at the same time! The real is great, it really is the most flattering color on any skin tone. So pretty.

I swear you should be a model!
Sometimes classic simplicity is overlooked by bloggers; this post is a good reminder of why not to do that. This outfit is just perfect for a day at the office, and the shoes make a nice transition piece into fall.
In school I was that kid who loved picking out back-to-school outfits by July, so I hear ya!
