Ready, set, go: Dressing well in 10 minutes or less

Kelly Saiz

Truth be told, the best way to put together an outfit is the night before the event (school). But, really, between English papers, sports, theater, video chats, all-important facebook communication, and meals, how many of us can afford the luxury of pre-gaming our outfit choices?

I couldn’t have been more wrong. Its been about 24 hours since the release and already claimed iTunes top album overtaking Lady Gaga…
