How to organise a week of clothes.

So last time I talked about clothes, I told you about how I was in a rut. I was wearing the same thing all the time. So since then I have managed to mix things up- well on the week days anyway. Week ends I am still firmly in the "active wear whoops I forgot to have a shower and there is no point because it is nearly time to put my pyjamas on so why bother" frame of mind.

I would call this a grown up dress. Not overly practical in my line of work. I found this on ASOS and it was under $100.

I'm not sure about you but week mornings are hectic. Some mornings after I exercise I have 25 minutes to get my self ready, put my make up on, wake up my daughter, feed my animals and make breakfast. There is no time to stand in the shower and decided what I will wear. So as much as I hate to admit it- I plan my outfits roughly a week in advance. This is what I do.

1. Plan what my exercise routine will be. At this stage it is Monday, Wednesday and Friday's are a spin class. This means I will be home at 7- so I have 30 mins to get ready. Tuesday and Thursdays I swim. This means I will be home by 6:30 but it also means I will have to wash my hair. This is a process- that takes a bloody long time. 

This is more what I would wear. Stripes dress it up- and pants are practical.

2. Check the weather for the week. At the moment it is Winter and where I work it gets really, really cold. So I work out what will suit the weather. This week is going to be bloody freezing and wet- so all crappy. This means I will have to wear lots of layers- thick socks under boots, singlets, fleecy stockings- then I can wear "normal" clothes and a coat. Also if it wet this means I will wear my hair up- because it will just go frizzy.

3. Work out what you have on for the week. I have duty on a Tuesday so I walk around so comfy shoes are in order. Thursday and Fridays I teach the least, but I do lots of walking around, but as I'm not teaching it also means I won't be doing any work where there is a chance I might have to climb under tables, or move stuff so I can wear dresses.  I also have two meetings this week with important people so I will pull out my " I'm a teacher who is also a member of the Board so I am very grown up dress". I also see if I'm going out after work- so my outfit can go from school to work.

This would be my Friday look. Same pants as with the stripes but I black t-shirt. I would have a singlet underneath and thick socks with some boots. I would also have either a denim jacket or a long line cardy. Also throw on a scarf for some colour.

4. Go on the internet and get some outfit ideas. This can come from Pinterest, magazine sites, wherever. You can look for things you already have and see what you can mix them up with.

Now I am not that organised that I write down my outfits, but I have a good visual image, so come the morning all I need to do is have my shower and then grab my outfit. 

Done, done and DONE.
