The weekend is great, but sunday nights always end with that bitterness of a monday morning. I’ve always wondered if life would just be happier if days started on tuesdays, but maybe that would just transfer the bad guy guilt to another day. The point is that we can’t escape the beginning of a work week, it will be there every time you grope in the dark for the snooze button of your alarm clock.

For some reason, the closet looks a lot more complicated on monday mornings so I thought about putting together a basic 1-2-3 approach to beating mean mondays. I chose to post this on Friday so that hopefully this cheers you up this upcoming monday.

I picked black because it’s simple and clean and pretty much never wrong. You can wear basic black or not-so-basic.

As you saw on my previous post, I’ve been on a red lipstick mood lately. Honestly, any color of lipstick would work because black is nonchalant like that.

I think I am ready to get through next monday and the following week now, what are your secrets to beat start-of-the-week yawns? – Pati
