s/o getting ready - Do you pick out your outfit

[fashionx]

Do you pick out your outfits in advance for just your daily outfits? I'm sure we all plan outfits for events, etc. but what about your every day looks?

Most days I don't pick out what I'm wearing until that morning. I may lay out an item I want to wear if I have something new, but otherwise I don't usually think about it until the morning. And then I'm checking the weather, and sometimes even changing outfits if I don't like what I originally chose.

If I am not traveling, I lay my outfits out daily. When I am traveling, my trips generally last a week and I lay out individual outfits for the entire week.

[tarheels]

I generally check the weather the night before and think of a few things. I don't physically lay anything out.

I check the weather and lay out my outfit the night before.

I didn't used to do this, though, before I had a kid. Now I have to prep everything the night before, or all %&*($ breaks loose in the mornings.

[lostarz]

Usually I just think about things in my head at night, or try to come up with something while I'm in the shower lol. It really is much easier to plan it out at night...I'm not sure why I don't do that more often.

When I had an office job and worked early I picked out my outfits the night before. Now that I work late I pick out my outfits that day

[luckyval]

I'm so groggy in the mornings that I can't think about what I'm going to wear. I lay everything out the night before.

There are still rare occassions where I don't like what I've picked out and will change at the last minute, which usually incites eyerolls from my husband

[carylee07]

If I have to be at work hella early and I can't afford to be late, I always make sure it is picked out the night before. That immediately saves me at least 10 minutes. Ideally I'd have them picked out every night. But I'm lazy.

This is me exactly. I'm not sure why I have such an aversion to preparing things in advance, but I do. Including packing my lunch for the day. Life would be so much easier if I did it the night before as opposed to running around in the morning.

It depends on the day. I usually try to come up with something in my head the night before so I'm not freaking out in the morning standing there with a blank stare.

I don't physically lay it out, but I have it in my mind.

[joanis018]

I pick them out in the morning, but my best outfits are always ones where I think of them in advance.

[mrssavy42112]

The very concept is foreign to me. I do not have the time to pick out any outfit. In the morning I just grab whatever is closest to my hands and goes together. Done.

[bimbi284]

I absolutely SHOULD think about it ahead of time. Often I'll have some ideas of what I wanna wear and will think about it the night before, but realistically the thought process usually happens in the shower, when I'm half asleep still.

Usually the weather or my lack of organization screws up any cute idea I had before anyway, so I try to have at least a couple of other ideas.

When I've been in a real bind with no motivation, I've run to our outfit inspiration board for help and its worked!

I really need to do a whole closet reorg. some time soon so I remember what I have and purge some things that I don't care for anymore. I think that will help inspire me a bit too.

Sometimes I do. I work three days a week. If it's three days in a row, I lay them all out and hang them on the hook in my bathroom. Saves me so much time.

The rest of the time, I have a general idea or at least lay out part of it the night before.

It works well for me and I actually see what's in my closet that way. If I don't lay stuff out, I just keep grabbing the same outfits over and over.

Unless I have something important scheduled for the day, I usually just think about my outfit while I'm showering.

I usually have an idea in my head the night before of what I want to wear. There are the occasional morning where I put on my outfit and realize it looks horrible once executed and then have to scramble to figure out what else to wear.

Then there are the mornings I'll wake up and I can't remember what it was that i had planned to wear and again have to scramble to figure out what to wear. Hee hee.

Since I'm a SAHM, I usually decide what I'm wearing while in the shower. When I worked out of the home, I picked out my clothes the night before. I pick my daughters clothes out the night before though regardless of what we have going on because it will WW3 otherwise, and she's only 4.

[sunshine608]

I have to plan out it advance or it takes me for.ev.er to choose and by the time I'm done our room starts looking like a tornado went through it and I don't have the time to straighten it before I leave.

[Deleted]

I don't usually pick out an outfit the day before unless I have a meeting. I generally have some idea of what I'm going to wear (i.e. dress vs. pants) and then narrow down based on the weather report.

[busybodyk]

I try to plan in my head for the entire week. I often change my mind the night before or the morning of. It can take me forever if I don't make a decision the night before.

[rebeccalynn]

I always pick it out when I wake up in the morning because it depends on my mood and if I washed clothes or not! I usually end up changing 2 or 3 times in the morning

[slarce]

I plan a bunch of outfits for the week on Sunday night and hang them all up in the outfits, with necklaces around the hanger. I usually pick more outfits than I'll need, so if it's cold, I feel like wearing pants, etc., there are options. I have to leave for work EARLY in the am and mornings are always so stressful when I'm not sure what I want to wear.

[mrspost08]

as I am waking up around 530 I start thinking of what I want to wear. I roll out of bed around 6am and head to the closet around 625. Grab some clothes and head out the door by 634am.

[MrsAxilla]

I used to when I didn't have that many great clothes and no confidence in wearing them. Once I had a nice selection and a few compliments under my belt, I was able to wing it in the mornings. Usually I planned in the shower.

Now I'm back to no clothes and I do have to plan. But since I SAH now, I have fewer reasons to look cute.

MUST pick my clothes out the night before (or before I get out of bed in the morning). If not, this will definitely lead to major fashion dilemma and lateness to work. Sometimes I pull something out and lay it out but not usually.
