Friend Friday: What to wear–plan or random?

This week’s Friend Friday questions are all about wardrobe!  Also included in this post, is an outfit post.  I figured it would be fitting! So, here we go:

1. How do you determine what you will wear that day? It mainly depends on what I’m doing that day.

The occasion really determines the outfit.  On days off that I’m running errands, I still try to dress up my jeans with a cute top and boots.

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

The most I ever plan for is about 2 days.  I usually still end up changing my mind.  Its like when you go on vacation, planning carefully for what you’ll wear and then you get to your destination and are disappointed with your choices.  Or at least this is what happens to me every time.  I’m just to indecisive to plan that far.  Kudos to those who do! I’m totally impressed!

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

Nope, sure don’t!  Its just alot more random. I do save all the photos in specific computer folders, so I do glance through others pics just to make sure.  Hhmm…maybe I should write it down or something.
4. How do you discover new combinations of items in your closet?
(Trial try-ons?  Hanging items together?)

Sometimes its trial try-ons, but most of the time when I am looking for new combos I pull tops or dresses that I haven’t worn in a while.  Like that plaid shirt from earlier this week.  This has resulted in multiple great outfits this year!  Don’t just go to your regular pieces.  It gets boring.

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

Hhhmm, I’m not sure there is one thing in particular I need to do.  It doesn’t take me a long time to dress in the morning (most days!)  SOMETIMES it does take over 20 minutes.

What I’m Wearing:

Dress: Cream/Black Polka dotted dress from Pacsun

Boots: Chinese Laundry Night Owl Boots in Black

Necklace: Vintage Glass Beads from an Antique store in IN

I loved this outfit!  It was the first time I wore this dress and converted my boots to thigh-high boots!  It made me feel super sultry! Yes, they are really worth it! The lace detailing at the top of the dress made it feel super girly!  Loved the mix of tough and feminine!


What do you do about dressing in the morning? Do you plan ahead?

Best Dress Ever. What’s your piece?

Do you have a piece of clothing that always gets compliments?  I do.  It’s a red patterned dress with flutter sleeves and a high waist. ( I ordered it off of …Just Best Red Dress!Add Jeans, who just opened a store in the Dallas Bishop Arts District, I’m DYING to go! Seems like you can’t order online anymore *crying*)  I got it last fall.

I’ve paired it with everything

  • a black blazer,
  • a boyfriend cardigan,
  • black tights/boots,
  • thick black stretchy belt,
  • thin patent black belt, a jean jacket,
  • any kind of black heel,
  • black wedges,
  • black flat sandals. 
This dress is so versatile. It works with just about anything, can be dressed up or down easilDress Pattern (Close-Up)y and is one of my favorite dresses. Best bonus: I always always always get some kind of positive comment on it.
 
 “Is that new? The pattern is so cute! I love your dress! That red is so cute! “
 
And most of these are from people that have seen it before!

Its nice to have a dress that I can always feel confident in.  Do you have article of clothing that makes you feel the same?  Explain away!
