You’re probably off enjoying a well-deserved holiday break, but before you know it, it’s back to reality. Because that first Monday morning after a long vacation sucks, take a moment to plan out an outfit that makes you feel good. A pretty floral blouse worn tucked into a rich red skirt is an easy combination that is both professional and pulled together. Layered under a cozy camel coat, it’s just as easy as your default black dress but way more cheerful. Consider it a tiny mood-booster to get you through the day.
