You may not feel put together that morning, but nobody needs to know that. Here are my 5 simple steps on how to look perfectly polished and put together.

Standing tall and sitting up straight...
Posture is everything. It portrays confidence, its crazy to think how a slumped back can make you look like you're a few pounds heavier. Just sitting up straight and standing tall can add an inch or more to your height, not to mention the health benefits it has, decreasing fatigue and improving breathing.

Keeping your clothes looking their best...
Please tell me I'm not the only one guilty of hanging my dress in my bathroom, turning the shower on to its hottest temperature and praying the creases drop out. Having perfectly ironed clothing will instantly make you look more put together and steaming your clothes not only eliminates wrinkles and shrinkage, it also leaves your clothes looking a lot fresher. Having clean, fresh clothes leaves you feeling better about yourself and boosts self-confidence.

Matching Underwear...
You know the quote 'sometimes when my underwear matches my outfit, it makes me feel like I have my life together' I really do believe in this. I'm a bit OCD about matching underwear, I also have to have a matching mani/pedi too!

Go to face...
If you have to compromise and its a decision between doing your hair and your make up - always go with hair. You can always count on a fresh blow-dry, or a sleek up do to freshen your style. If you find you really haven't got time to do a full face of make up, you can't go wrong with cc cream, a swipe of mascara and a little bit of lipstick for that effortlessly chic look.

...and if all else fails
Have a coffee and throw on some sunnies. Those dark circles under your eyes are deoxygenated blood, exercise and drinking water will recirculate the oxygen making you look fresh again in no time.
What would you prioritize if you were getting ready in a rush?
