Being late now and then is unavoidable, especially nowadays when nobody seems to have enough time and it's very difficult to balance work with social life, social media and our hobbies. But just because we are running late it doesn't mean we have to run out of style, below there are some tips to put on practice on those busy days.
ES: Estar retrasada de vez en cuando es inevitable, especialmente hoy en día cuando nadie parece tener suficiente tiempo y, es difícil equilibrar el trabajo con la vida personal, las redes sociales y los hobbies. Pero sólo porque estemos llegando tarde no implica que dejemos de lado el estilo. A continuación comparto algunos tips para poner en práctica en esos atareados días.

PLAN AHEAD
First thing's first, in order to avoid the stress that entails picking up an outfit when you have no time, planning what to wear the night before is the best thing to do. Taking some minutes to prepare your clothes before going to bed will help you to get ready faster in the morning.
Now, in case you missed this step, continue reading.
ES: Para evitar el estrés que conlleva armar un conjunto cuando no tenemos tiempo lo mejor es prepararlo la noche anterior. Tomarte unos minutos antes de ir a dormir para planear qué usarás en la mañana, esto te ayudará a estar lista más rápido.
En caso de saltearte este paso, continúa leyendo.
TOTAL BLACK
Wearing head to toes black is a safe and very chic option. It will make you look sophisticated and it won't take you more that 5 five minutes. But what if you are not into all-black looks? Just mixed up some neutrals and you are ready to go.
ES: Usar negro de pies a cabeza es una opción segura y muy chic, te hará lucir sofisticada y no tardarás más de 5 minutos. Pero si el total black no es tu estilo puedes hacer lo mismo con otros neutros o incluso combinarlos entre sí.
ONE PIECE
Putting a two-piece outfit together when you are in the run cause you a headache? No problem! Throw on a dress, jumpsuit or even an overalls et voilà! Less than 3 minutes.
ES: ¿Armar un outfit de dos o más prendas te resulta un dolor de cabeza? No te preocupes, escoge un lindo vestido, un mono o incluso unos overalls et voilà! Lista en menos de 3 minutos.
BASICS WITH A TWIST
Another alternative is to wear basic pieces with a statement accessory. For example, you can put on your favourite pair of jeans/pants, a plain t-shirt and a cute hat or a big necklace for an automatic outfit upgrade.
ES: Otra alternativa es usar prendas básicas junto con un accesorio llamativo. Por ejemplo, puedes combinar tus jeans o pantalones favoritos con una blusa lisa y un lindo sombrero o un statement necklace para elevar tu look al instante.
LIPS, LIPS, LIPS
Makeup plays a key role when we want to look polished, so my advice to you is to always put on some red lipstick. Even if you don't have time to do all your makeup be sure to paint your lips, it takes no time and it will make a big difference. Trust me.
ES: El maquillaje juega un rol fundamental a la hora de lucir bien, por lo que nunca nos debe faltar el clásico labial rojo. Incluso si no tienes tiempo para realizar toda tu rutina de maquillaje asegúrate de pintar tus labios, es súper rápido y hace una gran diferencia. Créanme.
