If you find yourself constantly being late for work or social outings with your crew because you’re always fighting with the contents of your closet—this post’s for you! It is absolutely possible to go to your closet, pull something fashionable out to wear, and be done in less than 15 minutes, but it takes some pre-work. Check it out:

1. First things first, clean out your closet. If you haven’t seen the floor of your wardrobe since the Clinton Administration, you’ve got some work to do. Go here for info on how to sort things out. Remember that fashion is not about how many pieces of clothing you own–it’s about putting together great outfits. And the less you have in your closet, the easier it will be to plan out your outfits.

2. Limit the amount of clothing you buy that has to be ironed to look good. This means button-down shirts, anything made of linen and certain items made out of cotton (unless you pull them out of the dryer and immediately hang them). I am a lazy girl through and through and do not own a single item that needs to be ironed—why? Because I hate to iron…lol. Call it a side effect of wearing a uniform from kindergarten through my senior year in high school and having to iron my uniform daily, but I will not miss ironing my clothes. For my day job I wear a lot of suits. The jackets get dry cleaned while the dress pants are washed in cold water and hung to dry and never need ironing. For the weekends I wear a lot of denim and sweaters in the winter—both of which can be pulled on quickly without ironing.

3. Adopt a uniform. Don’t get scared–after 13 years of wearing a uniform to school do you think I’d actually suggest you wear one? By uniform I mean put together a collection of no-fail outfits. If you’ve been reading this site and following the tips for your body type as well as my advice to buy things you really love and that you can wear a million times, chances are you have several items in your closet that can be worn a zillion different ways. Having a closet that has essential wardrobe basics helps.

4. Let your accessories tell a story. Say all you can muster out of your wardrobe is a pair of well-fitting jeans and a fitted tee. Let your accessories take you from Gap ad to wherever you want. Go punk rock with a spiked bracelet and killer platform boots. Or go boho with a scarf and cute flats. Your options are limitless.

5. Visualize how you want to look first and then go in for the outfit. This is best done either while you’re hitting the snooze button for the umpteenth time in the morning or the night before.

If you’ve got those 5 tips down, you’ll shave time off of getting dressed everyday.

If you want your booty to look great:

Pocket placement and design is key. Look for pockets (or designs) that are large, spaced out, and are placed somewhat on an angle. This will give the appearance of a more shapely booty. Avoid small pockets that are placed too close together.

If you have thick thighs:

Look for boot-cut, flare, or wide leg styles which all help to even out your shape in a dark denim rinse. Avoid jeans with whiskering in the thigh area which will only make thighs appear larger. Skinny jeans, while not impossible, are difficult to help flatter this figure. Unless of course you like to emphasis the size of your thighs.

If you’re petite:

Keep in mind that while this is a special size, you still need to pay attention to your overall shape (i.e. petite with a boyish frame, petite with thick thighs, petite and plus-size). Look for jeans with a shorter inseam.

If you’re plus size:

Like petite, while this is a special size, you still need to pay attention to your overall body type. Not all plus-sizes are the same shape. Follow the advise for the other shapes throughout this guide, but look for jeans that come in your size.

If you’re pregnant:

Just because you’re with child, doesn’t mean style goes out the window. Gone are the days where sweats seemed like the only option for expecting mothers. Just remember to keep in mind that you’re overall shape still factors in with maternity jeans.

If you have a boyish shape:

Look for skinny and straight leg styles which will hug the body and create curves. Also look for whiserking, pronounced leg seems, and detailed pockets which will all help to create curves for your frame.

If you’re tall:

Look for tips on your overall shape in this guide and then look for jeans that have 34? inseam or longer. Lucky for us tall drinks of water, many designer jeans come with long inseams by default.

Rock & Republic jeans normally have inseams of 34? and up, perfect for long-legged vixens. Old Navy also carries many of their regular jeans line in tall sizes. Online retailer Alloy has jeans in inseams up to 37″!

Dressing like Carrie Bradshaw in her most mixed up of Patricia Fields creations might not get a second look while walking through the streets of Soho in NYC, but try that get-up at the local Walmart in Kennesaw, GA and Cobb County PD just might pick you up for “trafficking”.

Not to diss small towns, but there’s certainly a very cozy and down-home quality about them that just doesn’t call for 5-inch Gucci platforms and a ballerina skirt. But just because you live in a small town, it doesn’t mean you’re destined for a wardrobe of Victoria’s Secret PINK sweats and Uggs. Check out some of my tips on how to be a small town fashionista:

1. Don’t wear sweats. Yes, I know how incredibly comfy sweats are–I sleep in them and on occasion work out in them. But under no circumstances are they to be worn outside your home or Bally’s. Pajama pants are included.

2. Make sure all your jeans fit you fabulously. Denim can be the source of anxiety for many women, but that can be eliminated by knowing what to look for when it comes to your shape. Check out Jeans for Every Body for tips.

3. Invest in basics with a twist. A wardrobe filled with the same 3/4 sleeve Gap tees can be B-O-R-I-N-G. Instead go for basics with a twist—classic items that will last season to season, but have a bit of edge to them. For instance, instead of the redundant 3/4 sleeve white V-neck, go for one with an asymmetrical neckline. Find out more about wardrobe basics here.

4. Don’t be afraid of “out-styling” everyone else. I know many women who shy away from taking fashion risks because they hang around a crew of plain janes. Call it one of those “need to please” qualities women in general seem to inherit, but just don’t let it hinder your personal style.

5. Don’t forget to accessorize. The easiest way to try out a new trend is through accessories. For example, if you really dig the spiky look (as seen on Rihanna), but it’s just not functional for your environment, try a spiked bracelet (like mine shown below) instead.

Fab British stylist (and friend in my head) Marian Kihogo has the scoop on a new designer collaboration between one of my favorite designers Vivienne Westwood (remember when Naomi Campbell infamously became fashion roadkill while wearing her platforms?) and jean brand Lee. Now normally I roll my eyes whenever I hear of a new designer collaboration, but this one has my interest piqued. I mean, Vivienne Westwood’s designs are SIIIIIIICK!
