Argh. Let's give this another try. I wrote it late last night and low and behold it disappeared on me. Yep, gone, gone, gone. Oh well.
As a working mom I use my weekends to rest, recharge, spend time with my family and friends, meal prep, grocery shop, do laundry, clean the house, catch up on some reading,etc. Okay, I am exhausted just listing it all. LOL!Anyway, in order to make the work week flow, these are the things that I strive to accomplish on the weekends, or as best as I can. Another thing that I do is pick out my outfits for the week. I check my calendar for events such as school visits, book clubs, professional learning development events that I might be hosting, meetings, or desk work. I also consider the forecast and then plan my five outfits accordingly. The reason I do this is:
I am not a good decision maker under pressure. Since I often do my workouts in the morning, the rest of my routine (shower, hair, make-up, breakfast) is rushed. I get overwhelmed by choices in my closet and it throws my day off.
I like to know that I am utilizing the clothes, shoes, and accessories that I keep in my closet. Planning my outfit tends to show me what I am reaching for and what needs to maybe find a new home if I am never in the mood to wear it. It also allows me to get creative with my outfits.
Generally this process takes me 10 -15 minutes on a Sunday. Once my outfits are picked out I hang them in my closet, usually on one hanger, in the order of days M-F. Usually I don't make flat lays but I did for last week just to show you how the outfits come to life. Some of the items are old favorites but I linked up some great subtitutions, or the real deal when it was still available.
And that my friends is a wrap. Follow me along in IG to see what I am wearing next week!
