Do you pick out your clothes/outfit (for work/school) for a week, the night before, or 'that day'? LOL I TRY my best to do it the 'night before', b/c if not, I'll be staring at clothes ALL MORNING long if I don't! LOL I'd love to do/try it for a week, but the weather here in Austin is so effin' crazy....LOL

What about you?

Totally pick them out in a rush last minute. If I try to pick them out early, I end up wearing something else, just to spite myself. I'm a moody dresser.

I have great plans to put outfits together the night before (or ideally on Sunday so I have a week's worth ready to go) but I haven't been able to make that a constant habit yet.

I also plan the morning of, but since I've been going to the gym in the morning, the first time I try on my outfit is when I'm at the gym. This method has created some crabby days because some things don't look as good as I remembered or I'm having a day where I hate my fill-in-the-blank and my outfit seems to make it worse. So, I need to start packing my outfit the night before and trying it on, so at least I can eliminate some of the outfit hating. I didn't realize how often I change and tweak my outfit when I'm at home.

Morning of.

When I do manage to pick things out the night before, it makes the morning totally easier. I always forget that benefit, and I think I secretly wish that there will be some freak snow-day or something, and I won't have to go in.

Mostly the morning of, for an average day. I sometimes think about it lying in bed at night, or I think about it in the shower, so I'm kind of planning ahead, but not by much.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I am a morning of person. I do better when I pick the night before but I always forget and go to bed.

I usually try to get a few 'base' ideas going on Sunday evening - usually I'll hang a few combos together at the front of the closet, and throw a few shoe choices down below them. As long as I'm good about checking the weather and my activities for the week and making sure my selections are appropriate, I end up with both some pre-selected options and the ability to chose in the moment what I feel like wearing. Works pretty well - I don't end up in yoga pants everyday, nor do I have to get up 30 minutes earlier just to make sure I end up with a half-decent outfit on.

I usually think about my outfit the morning of, as I'm showering.

For a special occasion or meeting though, I will preplan.

Always the morning of, although sometimes the day before I'll think, "hey, I think I'll wear that sweater tomorrow, with x jeans, and x shoes." It's not surprsing I often end up disliking the outfit I picked.

Boots · Gucci

I almost always plan an outfit the night before as I'm laying in bed trying to go to sleep. I am so not a morning person and it helps for me to have a plan to start the day with.

My morning routine consists of always hitting the snooze button once, however I don't usually fall back asleep. I spend that time laying in bed, mentally putting together my outfit. The next time the buzzer goes off I pop right out of bed and can get dressed with ease!
