Plan Your Weekly Outfits Like Meal Prep To Save Stress And Enhance Your Style
Have you ever tried “meal-prepping” on a Saturday or Sunday to save yourself some time cooking during the upcoming week?
It’s a great technique that saves you a lot of stress during the week and secures a part of your routine into place.
Well, there are more ways you can incorporate that “prepping” mentality into your daily routine, and that’s through planning your weekly outfits in advance.
Similar to how meal prepping makes you more efficient and gives you a chance to put a lot of thought into your daily meals, planning your outfits in advance will save you time getting dressed in the morning and allow you to focus on your style more.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when I wake up a bit late or don’t have time to assemble a cute outfit in the morning, and I end up wearing something I wear all the time or a very basic outfit that doesn’t reflect the unique aspects of my personal style.
But anytime I’ve planned most of my weekly outfits in advance, down to the accessories, I’ve noticed that I can focus on what I want my outfits to say to the world and incorporate some of my favorite wardrobe items with a careful eye.
Additionally, once your outfits are planned for the week, you will be amazed by how much time you spend getting ready in the morning.
This is a great lifestyle method for those who work busy, in-person jobs because if your outfits are planned, you can use those 15+ minutes you take to get them together to relax or, better yet, sleep in!
There are several ways you can go about planning your outfits for the week. One of my favorite ways to do it is by keeping an outfit planning journal.

On a Saturday or Sunday, you can look at the weather forecast for the upcoming week and your schedule and base your outfits on that information.
Make a daily outfit plan for each week in your journal, looking in your wardrobe and writing down exactly what you want to wear every day. I encourage you to get as specific as possible, planning all the way down to your belt and earrings.
Then, you can take it to the next level and physically assemble these outfits. This can save you even more time each morning, as you’ll know exactly where everything is. You can arrange your tops, pants, and accessories on a hanger in your closet, then place your desired pair of shoes below each one.
There you have it – a guide to why planning your outfits every week is so fabulous. Give it a try and see what you think, as it could drastically change your morning routine for the better.
