Dressed by my Roommates

Long story short, I struggle to pick an outfit in the morning. My roommates from Elim can attest; I will spend a considerable amount of time trying on multiple outfits in the morning. Only to end up standing in a pile of my clothes, frustrated that I cannot choose. Now that behavior was when I was more extreme, and I’ve come a long way, but I still frustrate myself from time to time. Sometimes trying on 2-3 outfits before forcing myself out the door. This frustration led me to ask two of my roommates to pick my outfits for the next week, whatever they chose, I would wear.

[Disclaimer: I was with them while they chose, and one of the girls has a similar style to my own. I also did not capture Day 1 or Day 7.]

Day 2 

I had a strong suggestion for this day. Practically picked it myself since it was our day off. However, the girls also loved this outfit and did not mind that I changed the dress they originally chose.

Day 3

Fun fact: I loved this outfit until they realized I looked like a minion from Despicable Me! It honestly was hilarious when they made this discovery, however, I most likely won’t wear this exact outfit again due to that! It’s safe to say I was very tempted to change… haha! 

Also, since it gets so hot here, the air conditioners indoors are always very cold; hence why I was wearing a sweater.

Day 4

I really enjoyed this outfit; for those who know me, you know this is something I would wear! However, I had never paired these items together before and absolutely fell in love with it when my friends picked it out!

Day 5

In all honesty, I chose this outfit myself. The girls had chosen a beautiful dress and jean jacket; an outfit I had worn before, but I knew I would be cold that day. The church we attend is always freezing and I did not feel comfortable sitting in a dress for the day! They were unsure at first, but I reassured them, no stress went into the choice of this outfit.

Day 6

My favorite pair of jeans paired with a cute yellow top! I even added the red hairband as a final touch; which, in my opinion, really tied the outfit together. 

I, unfortunately, did not capture the first day of this experiment or the last day, though they were also cute outfits I’m sure I’ll wear again. To be honest, I think this really helped me in making my outfit choices in the morning! This week, I have not put on more than 1 outfit in the morning, I’m quick to choose what I want to wear before I get up, and I’m more content with whatever I put on. 

Funnily enough, my bad habit rubbed off on one of the friends who helped me pick out my week! She thinks we might have to help her out at some point. If you struggle with picking outfits in the morning, try this out, it’s honestly really fun to pick it all out and for them to see you wearing what they put together!
