Plan Your Outfits for the Week
Set aside some time each Sunday night to plan out your outfits for the week. This one step will save you a ton of time, plus it guarantees that your outfits will be cuter and more put-together. When you are rushing at the last minute in the morning, you're more likely to grab whatever is in front of you, instead of a stylish outfit.
Organize each of your outfits neatly on hangers, and hang them in order -- Monday through Friday -- in your closet. Hang any accessories on the hanger with your clothes, and lay out your shoes next to each outfit. When choosing accessories, go for something on-trend and perfect for spring, like a pair of oversized drop earrings or a stack of brightly colored bangles.

Save Time with Vaseline® Spray & Go Moisturizer
Lathering up with lotion and waiting for it to absorb before you get dressed can be a major time suck, but new Vaseline® Spray & Go Moisturizer cuts the whole process down to a fraction of the time. It's a continuous spray lotion that moisturizes and absorbs in seconds so you can put your clothes right on. Just hold the can 4 inches away from your skin and spray up one leg and arm, switch hands and spray down the other side. Just a few quick rubs, and your entire moisturizing routine is done. Now you can put on those cute skinny jeans or that silk blouse without waiting.

Choose Fabrics That Won't Wrinkle
Who has time to iron clothes for hours in the morning? Skip this step altogether by choosing fabrics that don't need to be ironed. Luckily, a lot of the on-trend fabrics for spring fit the bill. Lightweight leather is huge for spring, and doesn't wrinkle. Also, linen is perfect for warmer temperatures, since it's meant to be slightly wrinkled.

Wear a Bright Dress
A dress -- hands down -- is the easiest type of clothing to wear. You don't need to worry about mixing and matching separates; just slip it on and you're done. Choose a cute springy style, like a brightly colored sundress. Pair with a simple pair of flats and a lightweight jacket, and you're out the door.
