dress the way I wish I dressed every day

1) Massively edit my wardrobe so I cut down the crappy pieces
2) Plan my cute work outfits the day before
3) Start straightening my hair before work
4) Keep up the gym work so I can fit the clothes I love.

I use to do this but I got stuck in the whole jeans and a t-shirt everyday thing partly cuz that’s what everyone around me is wearing and partly cuz i’m self-conscious about my weight. But I actually have a pretty unique sense of style so Im going to start wearing the clothes that I like and not let what others think bother me. (all those people are just sheep so dont worry about them.)

So i have two problems with this

1) I love deals, im the kind of person who usually prefers more for the money, i dont get buying 1 item for 500 when i could probably get 10 items with this kind of money. This comes at a price i lose out on quality and style. Ive realised that pricey items seem to last longer my sister is a guess and forever 21 girl and her clothes last longer and still look good.

2) I hang onto old unfashionable clothes. My reasoning is that i can use them when im just sitting around the house but in true reality i still wear them outside trying to make them hip but they just plain shitty hehehe

So i took the first step…. i went through my closet and i got rid of all my shitty clothes, im gonna give them away. I have decided to dress the way i wish i dressed every day, Everyday ill make the effort to dress well in or outside the house lol

So im off im going to the mall to get a few good clothes, im gonna try and hold back my bargain shopping instinct…....

I hate waking up groggy and dressing the way I feel, then two hours later I feel like I slob for walking around all day in ratty jeans and a worn in hoodie. I need to plan cute outfits before I go to sleep, or even better set up a bunch of cute outfits ready to go so I can still chose.

god, im tired of fantasizing

It’s not as easy as it sounds.

not so long ago, i used to get multiple compliments every day on my hair, appearance and outfits.
then i became extremely self-conscious and starting dressing extremely casually, even though i still owned many, probably most, of the same items as before.
i think one of my problems IS worrying about others’ opinions: if i get a compliment on something i like, i get a self-conscious feeling about it and might avoid wearing it again. but if i really like something and no one comments on it, i worry that no one liked it or people thought it was weird, so i might avoid wearing it. i need to stop caring!

Its so hard for me to do something like this, I don’t really know what suits me and my shape very well, and I can never pull an outfit together well enough. I have such a mix of stuff in my wardrobe, that it makes it even harder.
Ideally I’d wear skirts a blouses every day, with cute heels and a huge bag. Cardigans and sunglasses etc. are my favourates, but if you wear things like this you feel way too over dressed, and I hate being judged so much! I just need the confidence to do something like this, and feel more like me rather than copying other people.

I tried this the other day and it was INCREDIBLE! I’ve always dressed kinda preppy…pretty much exactly the way society expects. But the other day i dressed goth. it shocked the heck out of people..got a lot of dirty looks.. but it truly was one of the best things ever! Once in college I plan to do this sort of thing every day. Not necessarily goth every day, but i plan to have no fear whatsoever of wearing whatever outlandish style i feel like. goth, punk, emo, prep, nerd, you name it. can’t wait.

i have “played dressup” everyday of my life
:]

& i will continue !

except, as a pre-nursing student i feel kind of out of place when everyone else is wearing scrub-kind-of-outfits and i’m wearing a dress & heels…

lol oh well.

screw ppl’s expectations
:]
