7 Ways to Look Perfectly Polished

Don't have an hour to get ready in the morning? No problem! You'll look put together in mere minutes with these totally doable tips.

1. PERFECT THE 5-MINUTE MAKEUP ROUTINEIf some mornings you have time for only concealer and lip gloss, so be it!. Instead of worrying, realize that this little bit of effort has a big payoff. Bright, flawless skin can do wonders for pulling together your look. Just be sure your concealer becomes invisible when blended into your skin. Also, avoid puffy, raccoon eyes by applying concealer only to dark circles rather than your entire under-eye area. 

2.GET A LOW-MAINTENANCE HAIRSTYLETalk to your hairdresser about a cut that not only flatters your face, but is easy to style. Get your money's worth from your hairdresser by asking for tips on easy ways you can wear your new style.

3.ORGANIZE YOUR ACCESSORIES
Whether you're wearing skinny jeans and a t-shirt or a LBD, having a pair of signature earrings that goes with everything adds variety to your wardrobe and helps complete your look. These gold and garnet drop earrings can easily be dressed up or dressed down. 

4. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR HANDS 
As simple as it sounds, taking care of your hands and nails is one of the top characteristics of a polished individual. People who keep their hands manicured appear to be more put-together than those who don't. You don't have to necessarily keep polish on your nails, but make sure that you keep your nails filed and your cuticles trimmed. 

5. INVEST IN A FEW KEY PIECES TO ELEVATE YOUR WARDROBE 
Adding a nice blazer, sweater, or jacket can improve any outfit, so invest in these pieces. You'll be able to pair them with the majority of the clothes in your wardrobe. Get a nice pair of denim jeans as well, as high quality denim always looks great. Women should always invest in a little black dress, and men should always invest in a nice fitting suit. These can be re-worn over and over again, so invest in something nice.

6.PRACTICE YOUR POSTURE
Standing and sitting up straight creates a much more polished look than slouching does. Practice standing tall, putting your shoulders back, and holding your head up high. This will help you exude confidence, creating a more polished overall look.

7. PLAN YOUR OUTFITS IN ADVANCE
Plan your outfit a night before to ensure the outfit fits and looks great for your presentation or party
