I really like picking out the clothes that I am going to wear the next day the night before. I like to look put together and it helps me save time in the morning not having to spend it worrying about what to wear. I felt like I was starting to get into a little rut of wearing the same few outfits over and over again when I have a whole closet of nice clothes. I did this with my best friend at home over break where she helped me clean out my closet and help me either donate pieces I never wore or showed me new ways to wear pieces I already had. I had the idea to let my friends pick out my outfits for a week. The rules were that I couldn’t talk when they were planning outfits and that I would have to wear the outfit all day until I went to practice. I wanted to see if I could get inspiration from my friends from new outfits from the clothes I already have.
While I really liked the idea, in practice it didn’t succeed this week. I was only able to get one of my friends who said they wanted to help in this experiment to come to my room, and Tuesday and Wednesday I was constricted in my outfit choice (Tuesday was presentation and my group chose to wear black turtle necks and jeans and Wednesday I had a lacrosse game so I had to wear our travel gear). While I didn’t get a whole week’s worth of new outfit inspiration, my friend Serena who picked out my Monday out chose my favorite outfit that I already wear and added a jacket to it that I had never thought of doing before and wearing it with different shoes. I hope to do this experiment again a different week so that I can actually see if it works and what clothes I will start wearing more.
