Friend Friday: Planning Outfits

Here’s another friend friday post.

1) How do you determine what you will wear that day?

Usually, I end up putting something together that morning for school. Since it’s winter, I’ll reach for a sweater, maybe a scarf, jeans( I wear them like everyday!) and maybe some jewelry and boots. I kind of just figure it out then, unless I want to dress up or have just bought something new that I want to wear. I’ll have to admit though, I do get lazy sometimes and just wear a hoodie and jeans.

2) Do you plan outfits out in advance for a whole week, month, weekend?

Only when I have something to go to, like a party. Then, I’ll start shopping like a month before(if I need a dress) and plan out accesories usually a few days before. I usually don’t pre-plan that much.

3)Do you have any specific way of tracking outfits and items already worn so you don’t repeat?

Nope, I usually just remember what I’ve worn with what and when I wore it. If it was withing the last week or two, usually I’ll wait or try to pair it with something completely different.

4) How do you discover new combinations of items in your closet?

When I’m bored, sometimes I’ll just start looking through my closet and trying new things on together. I keep a pretty neat closet and don’t have too much stuff. I make sure to edit. I find that it’s easy to put new things together if you can see them right in front of you. Also, if I see someone wearing something or something in a magazine that I like, I might try to pair my own items together in a similar way. I love jackets and shoes for mixing up otherwise boring looks.

5) To streamline the process for 2011 what is the one new thing you can do to cut down on your dressing time?

I would say that I need to put my stuff away in the right place and make sure that it’s clean so that I can easily find say, my favorite jeans to wear with a top.
