Midnight Magic

Ever have one of those mornings?

You know the kind of morning. You were up late the night before, and now you're up early. You have a big meeting (or three) at the office, and another event after work. You've barely opened your eyes and you're already answering emails. Your spouse/children/pets/all of the above need you. Oh, and you still need to get dressed! You find yourself standing in front of your closet, blearily squinting at your clothes, thinking, "Ugh. What on earth am I going to wear?"

Regular readers know I am a fan of classic, basic pieces that can be worn in a variety of ways, for a variety of occasions. One of my go-to brands for sophisticated, simple pieces is NIC+ZOE and their Foundation collection. These are essential pieces that can be worn alone, as well as combined or layered with statement pieces. Think: perfectly tailored navy trousers, chic blouses and elegant dresses. So you can spend less time staring at your closet, and more time making busy look good.
