I have a standing date with myself. I have a certain night of the week that I take to watch TV and try on clothes so that my outfits are chosen and configured and the rest of my week is without a “I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!” moment.

I do this especially if I have a series of events that require me to look fantastic, and I suggest you do the same.

Now you may be the kind of person that works better under the pressure of having to walk out the door ready to go in ten minutes. Or, like me, you may be the overly-attentive- to-every-detail-of-my-being type person that needs at least an hour to prepare. I would suggest if you are the latter to go shopping in your closet one night a week and figure out what it is you want to wear.

The great thing about this process is, if you do it early you have time to mull it over and make any edits in your mind days before you even have to get ready.
