1. Lack of time doesn't mean lack of style (nor does it justify lack of style) 2. Get comfortable with online and real-time transactional commerce 3. For run-and-go function and fashion, your standard bottoms rotation should include dark grey leggings, dark rinse straight leg denim, a maxi skirt, and knit track pants 4. Your makeup "kit" need only have lipstick/gloss, mascara, and a two-tone blush. Everything else is extra 5. Invest in a fabulous zip front cardigan/jacket that has embellishments like ruching 6. Your key to move from season to season is in layering....thin layers 7. Tieks are your secret weapon to "run like the wind" and "look like a diva" 8. Every rough day is made doable with a pair of cool sunnies - aviators with the unbreakable frames cost a little more but, yep, last much longer even when little Johnny sits on them 9. You don't have time to do "simple" and add interest here and there. Go fabulous or go home with things like earrings - they make even a pulled back hair do chic 10. Federal agents have "go" bags...and so should you 11. T-shirts with Lycra are a wardrobe basic that you'll use everyday 12. A fitted, black blazer preferably with fun/contrast buttons and double-breasted will see more use than you'll want to admit
