We know it’s Monday morning, and looking your best is the last thing on your mind. Drag yourself out of the Monday blues and try these 7 items to instantly polish your look for the rest of the week.
1. Pearls
Most women shy away from pearls thinking the luxurious strands will make them look like an old lady. On the contrary, peals can dress up a casual outfit without looking overdone. Try rocking pearl earrings with messy hair for a nice contrast, or wrap a strand around your wrist with a leather jacket to pay homage to Madonna.

2. Jackets
Jackets can be the saving grace to any outfit. If you’re feeling sloppily dressed in a t-shirt and leggings, throw on a blazer and we guarantee you’ll look instantly put together. Play with different kinds of jackets for a variety. Pair a maxi dress with a jean jacket or a lace blazer with leather leggings.

3. A high bun
Put down the damaging heat tools and pick up bobby pins. You don’t need big glamorous curls to look polished, allow a sleek up-do to be the perfect finishing touch to your look. Wear this style with a casual outfit, or glam up a new dress with a top bun and statement earrings.

5. Printed scarf
Get over the idea that scarves are only for the winter. If your outfit is too plain for your liking, wrap a fun printed scarf around your neck for an added pop of color.

7. Powder foundation
If you don’t have the time or patience to do your makeup in the morning, always be sure to run a bit of powder foundation on your face just to even out your skin tone. Flawless skin is a great way to look put together.
