How I Plan My Monday to Friday Looks
I love styling and putting outfits together, but I tend to struggle making outfit decisions at 7 o’clock in the morning. When it comes to being organized I’m no guru, BUT I do have some tips and tricks up my sleeve to make life and mornings run a little bit smoother. One my tricks is to plan out my outfits for the work week ahead on Sunday.
Here’s how I do it:
Look at my day planner.
This tip is two fold for me. I look at what meetings I have scheduled during the week, and ask myself “are these casual or more formal meetings?”, because I tend dress up a little bit more for formal meetings. I also look at the buildings I will be in. You see, I work in different schools and the temperature varies drastically - which impacts my outfit choices! Being comfortable is key for productivity.Check the weather app.
The colder the day the cozier I want to be. The warmer the temperature the more colour I want to wear. Get my drift? The weather also impacts the type of coat I wear and not all of my sweaters fit underneath all my coats. It sounds more complicated than it is - but taking the think time out of the equation first thing in the morning is so helpful. Side note: do men put this much thought into outfit choices? Because I KNOW my husband does not!Don’t second guess.
Okay, I’m only human and there are definitely mornings I second guess my outfit choices (usually because I had one too many pieces of pizza the night before and I’m just not feeling the highwaisted jeans with a fitted top - I know you know what I’m talking about). For the most part I stick to the outfits I’ve chosen to make my mornings run smoother.Hang it up.
Once I’ve chosen my outfits I hang them up together in order (Monday to Friday). This way it’s right in front of me and I can visualize the outfit, accessories included - I’m totally a visual person/learner. Sometimes, if I have the time on Sunday’s I will try the outfit on before choosing it and hanging it up. Eventually you just know what goes and what you feel comfortable wearing together.You can easily shop today’s blog post look by using the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and following my page Andrea.robitaille or simply clicking this link right here!
