Being a mom myself, I found these fashion and beauty essentials really help me getting ready faster:

1. A pair of comfy yet perfect fit skinny jeans in dark wash: Comfy is key for moms; Slim fit can remind me to stay in shape; Dark wash ensures versatility.
2. A structured, tailored blazer or leather jacket. Again, for its versatility.
3. A pair of stylish flats: ankle booties for fall/winter, slippers for spring/summer.
4. A high-quality, convertible roomy satchel with zips (yes, you don’t want your things fall out of bag every time you bend over to tie your child’s shoes).
5. A pair of fabulous oversized sunglasses: it covers puffy and tired eyes while saving a lot of make-up time.
6. Bright lipstick: it instantly brightens up my face. Classic red is great, but I’m very into this orange now.

In Chinese: 当了妈妈后，我发现这几样单品成了我的衣橱必备：

1. 深色的紧身牛仔裤（舒服一定是前提；之所以选择深色是因为无论办公室还是学校或者周末去公园都可以穿；紧身则能时刻提醒自己要注意保持身材。）
2. 剪裁合体的西装外套或皮夹克（还是因为它的百搭，有时候即使穿着T恤和运动裤，只要加件外套，换上高跟鞋，就可以去开家长会或和好友聚餐了）
3. 舒适又时尚的平底鞋：秋冬我会穿长筒靴或踝靴，春夏则穿复古包鞋。
4. 带拉链又有容量的大包，可手提又可肩背。
5. 大墨镜：遮住睡眠不足的黑眼圈，又大大节省了化眼妆的时间。
6. 亮色的唇膏，能瞬间提亮肤色。红色很经典，但这一季我更钟爱这款亮橘色。
