How to Make Your Mornings Easier?
\nMore than once, I have heard the question:<\/p>\n
\u2014 V., how many pieces from each collection do you need to own in order to enjoy an easy morning?<\/p>\n
I smile.<\/p>\n
And before answering, I first walk down memory lane to the time when V&V did not exist yet.<\/p>\n
Do you know those mornings when you wake up with handfuls of good mood, only to somehow throw it all away before you even manage to leave the house?<\/p>\n
First, your hair decides to stand in every direction except the right one.<\/p>\n
Then, suddenly, a little spot appears exactly where it was least invited.<\/p>\n
Then your mascara somehow creates a completely different vision than the one you had imagined.<\/p>\n
And before you know it, you have spent most of your getting-ready time fighting a morning beauty battle.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Well, at least I\u2019ll get dressed quickly, \u2014 you think, rushing towards a wardrobe overflowing with clothes, shelves bending under their weight and hangers struggling to hold everything.<\/p>\n
Surely you can grab anything and run out the door in two minutes.<\/p>\n
You pick one. No.<\/p>\n
You try another combination. Almost right, but not quite.<\/p>\n
You take a third piece and look at it together with a fourth.<\/p>\n
Then maybe a fifth?<\/p>\n
And you sigh deeply.<\/p>\n
So many clothes…<\/p>\n
And yet nothing to wear.<\/p>\n
The frustration rises. The morning nerves, already not exactly calm, start boiling and hissing like a kettle.<\/p>\n
And then another thought comfortably settles in:<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, my dear, the struggle isn\u2019t over yet. You still have to choose shoes that match the weather chaos outside and find a handbag big enough to carry everything you need for the day\u2014but at the same time one that doesn\u2019t suddenly fight with your outfit\u2019s colours and style.\u201d<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know about you, but the memories of such mornings are still very alive in my mind.<\/p>\n
You leave the house dragging your feet, knowing you wasted precious time, spent a mountain of nerves, and now you are walking down the street dressed in something that feels like \u201cneither here nor there\u201d\u2014while your confidence and good mood stayed behind in the wardrobe.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe tomorrow you\u2019ll manage,\u201d you hear them whisper from there.<\/p>\n
What do you mean tomorrow?<\/p>\n
You want to feel beautiful every day, not just on certain lucky mornings.<\/p>\n
And so, after returning home from another badly started day, you begin \u201crenovating\u201d your wardrobe.<\/p>\n
You promise to throw away everything you never wear.<\/p>\n
You promise to prepare outfits the night before.<\/p>\n
You promise never again to buy things that are \u201cbeautiful, but impossible to combine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, my dears.<\/p>\n
Clothes are wonderfully complicated creatures.<\/p>\n
Each piece has its own personality\u2014its own colour character and its own sense of proportion.<\/p>\n
And despite all their individual quirks, somehow they need to learn to live together.<\/p>\n
Like a choir that has rehearsed for weeks, they need to sing together in perfect harmony every morning.<\/p>\n
Can we help them?<\/p>\n
Absolutely.<\/p>\n
Those expressive \u201cresidents\u201d of our wardrobes need to agree in terms of colours, proportions, and seasons.<\/p>\n
That is why we are so deeply attached to thoughtfully created collections.<\/p>\n
And regardless of how large a collection is, we usually invite no more than three colours into it.<\/p>\n
Every piece spends a long time \u201cgetting acquainted\u201d with its future companions.<\/p>\n
Believe me, if a blouse matches the colour of your trousers or skirt perfectly, but its length hides the beautiful details of the waistband and cannot be tucked, adjusted, or transformed\u2014those two \u201ccolleagues\u201d may not become best friends.<\/p>\n
You may simply feel that something looks strange.<\/p>\n
And sometimes, the smallest detail\u2014the edge of a blouse gently tucked into the waistband\u2014creates magic.<\/p>\n
Legs appear longer.<\/p>\n
The waist becomes more defined.<\/p>\n
The reflection in the mirror suddenly looks much better.<\/p>\n
So how many pieces do you actually need in your wardrobe to feel calm?<\/p>\n
I would never say that unless you buy 80% of every collection, your mornings will be difficult.<\/p>\n
Absolutely not.<\/p>\n
Start by having at least 3\u20134 pieces in the same colour family that can be layered together.<\/p>\n
Trust me, you don\u2019t need three brown sweaters.<\/p>\n
Even with the best intentions\u2014or the coldest winter\u2014you won\u2019t wear them all at once.<\/p>\n
But a simple brown top, a brown vest, and a brown cardigan or blazer?<\/p>\n
That is a completely different story.<\/p>\n
Add a simple white T-shirt and those classic white shirts that live in almost every wardrobe\u2014and watch how many combinations appear.<\/p>\n
And always think about shoes.<\/p>\n
I always suggest having at least one pair of shoes that connects, through colour and season, with several pieces in the same colour family that are perfect for layering.<\/p>\n
A collection usually has three colours that, in my eyes, look incredibly delicious together.<\/p>\n
Choose at least two.<\/p>\n
Choose pieces that can become friends and create outfits together.<\/p>\n
For example, if you buy blue trousers and a blue skirt, remember: no matter how beautiful they are individually, they will not magically become a monochrome outfit.<\/p>\n
If you choose only a blue vest, remember that outside the summer season a beautiful layered vest needs sleeves to peek out underneath.<\/p>\n
So if your heart sings for a one-colour look, think carefully:<\/p>\n
Do you already have those perfect sleeves waiting in your wardrobe?<\/p>\n
Or should you immediately choose the matching piece that creates that effortless, safe, beautiful duo?<\/p>\n
Because once separated, those pieces will give you endless possibilities when combined with other colours.<\/p>\n
Whenever you have the time and inspiration.<\/p>\n
When a new collection arrives, once again choose a few layering pieces in the same shade.<\/p>\n
For example, khaki.<\/p>\n
After enjoying their monochrome combinations, introduce them to the colours from previous collections already living happily in your wardrobe.<\/p>\n
Start connecting.<\/p>\n
And you will see your wardrobe bloom again\u2014with fresh combinations, unexpected colour friendships, and most importantly:<\/p>\n
with mornings that feel easy, confident, and beautifully yours.<\/p>\n
