You know what I’m talking about. You wake up late, you’re in a panic, you have nothing to wear, nothing is ironed, oh crap! You forgot you had a client meeting! Now you need something dressy!

Never fear. With a few key pieces (that you probably already own), you can have a go-to outfit for days like this so there is never a panic attack again.

The goods:

• Black Wrap Dress (Pictured: Calvin Klein Wrap Dress, $50)
• Classic Trench (Pictured: Old Navy Trenchcoat, $50)
• Black Pumps (Pictured: Hive and Honey “Lorna”, $89)

This is the basic outfit. You don’t need jewelry or any other accessories, but if you have time, check out the optional additions below. (Also, you should add black tights if it’s the dead of winter.)

Optional Additions:

• Faux Pearl Studs (Pictured: ASOS Pearl Studs, $7)
• Black Skinny Belt (Pictured: ASOS Belt, $14)
