Mondays are tough. You had two blissful days of relaxation, and now you have to abruptly enter the proverbial rat race once again.

AND you have to look pulled together and effortlessly chic? PLEASE.

I may have a remedy for the Monday blues. This winter, get yourself an uber-essential cape, like this J. Crew one. Add 1 pair of leather gloves, oversized shades, and a killer bag, and voila! A woman who is unaffected by Monday morning!

Thank me next week…
