Hello, beautiful! We all know that feeling: you wake up to the sound of silence, aka your missed alarm, and realize you have 15 minutes until your first class starts.
In those moments, the thought of getting dressed can quickly lead you into struggle city. Some days, you might accidentally spend 20 minutes putting on a cute outfit - others, you might say "f**k it" and put on your baggiest sweats.
Regardless of your personal style, I happen to think that it's important to dress decently for your college classes. Dressing well shows your professors that you're a serious student who's here not just to pass, but to exceed with flying colors.
Whether you like it or not, your clothes say a lot about you - even when your messy bun and stained sweatshirt are a product of waking up thirty minutes too late. So, it's important for every college girl to have a few 10-minute outfits prepared ahead of time, so she knows exactly what to throw on in the event of a last-minute fashion emergency.
These 10 foolproof fashion combinations will teach you exactly how to get ready in 10 minutes or less, while still looking collected AF. Stockpile these essential items in your closet and you'll never be late again, promise!
