I like to plan my wardrobe in advance. It helps keep me on task each
morning – as well as saves time. I have
a very easy “system” for planning my wardrobe, which is sensible and easy to
remember.
Since Monday is the beginning of the week – and typically the most
serious of days in the office (meetings, visitors, fresh start to a new week) –
I like to dress a little more “serious”.
Usually, I wear a dress or skirt on Mondays.
Then, the week tapers off from there.
Tuesday is usually for slacks and a nice top or blazer. Wednesday could be the same as Tuesday, but
maybe with a cardigan (instead of a blazer).
And I treat Thursday as a pre-casual day and may even dress-up a pair of
jeans.
By the time “Casual Friday” rolls around, it's not only easy to plan
what to wear, but it's also the least “serious” day of the week. Thus, there is no fuss and I tend to wear
dark denim with a casual top.
The key thing to remember is: if you want to dress an outfit up or
down, you can do that by switching out your shoes! Heels are a little more serious than flats –
and a structured pair of pumps are a lot more serious than loafers.
Play with your outfits – swap separates to try different looks – and
create a signature style that is uniquely yours!
