Tips For When You Don’t Know What to Wear

Before anything else, let’s address the elephant in the room. What the heck do you wear when you don’t KNOW what to wear! Whether you are just plain fed up with your current wardrobe or you have some serious WFH (work from home) brain and can’t stand to put together one more cute, casual, but stylish look, these tips will freshen up your outlook and help you tackle what, for many, has become a daily nightmare. Here they are:

• Take a deep breath. No, seriously. Sometimes we get so overwhelmed we literally forget to breathe. But deep breathing, particularly when we are stressed or just fed up, will supply our brains with the oxygen it needs to think calmly and rationally and it also stimulates our parasympathetic nervous system. (Who knew deciding what to wear could get so serious?! Well, as with any area in life, decision fatigue and overwhelm can creep on us unawares and can show up in innocent scenarios like getting dressed in the morning.) So try taking some deep breaths before going any further.
• Don’t throw out everything in your closet. We know, it’s tempting. But there’s no need to go blow all your cash on starting over with your wardrobe. Let’s make do. It’s easier than you think!
• Put on your favorite pair of earrings. Go ahead, do it. Whether they are silver hoops, some crazy tassels, pearls, or diamonds, pop on your favorite earrings and we guarantee you’ll feel at least 10% more put-together. And feeling more put-together does do real wonders for our brains, sweetheart, getting us one step closer to a complete look we feel amazing in.
• Check the weather. There is nothing more annoying than getting caught in your favorite suede boots in a downpour. Plus, if you know what to expect weather-wise, figuring out an outfit just got that much easier.
• Determine what the day requires. Are you dressing for work? Are you staying at home? Are you headed out to run errands? In today’s post, we are covering these five categories:
• Casual
• Everyday Style
• Workwear
• Special Events (dates, parties, etc.)
• Formal
