While getting ready:
“What to wear, what to wear. Pants or skirt? Skirt! Yes, I’ll wear a skirt. How about my new Ralph Lauren one? Perhaps with a black top. Which top is clean? Oh, the one with the puffy sleeves. I don’t know if that works with the skirt. Will try it on. OK… not bad, but not great either. Maybe with slouchy boots? No. Not with slouchy boots. Skirt is too long for slouchy boots. Forget the skirt. What about the red dress? For today’s holiday party. So festive! Hmm…too sexy for work? How about with the slouchy boots? NO. Not with the slouchy boots. Look like a festive office ho.
I really want to wear the slouchy boots. Maybe with jeans? Where are those skinny jeans? Omigod I will never fit in those. Will give it a try anyway. Ah! They fit! But are skinny. Well, they are skinny jeans. Ok, with the black top and the slouchy boots. Oh girl, you cannot pull off this look. Boots over jeans? You look stupid. Take them off. But wait, it’s trendy. Am cute! Am cute? Ehhh….
OK! New skirt. With heels. And…NO. Damn it. It’s the top. Stupid puffy sleeves. Jeans, yes. With…what? White sweater. With slouchy boots? NO! Stop it. Seriously, put the boots away.
White sweater, dark jeans, brown heels. Done. Wow…look at the bed. That’s a lot of clothes. No time to put away, must do hair.
Up? Down? Half-up! With headband! It’s 9:30 ah!”
At work:
“Stupid outfit. I hate you. And why am I shedding all over the place? Don’t anorexics lose their hair? Clearly, I am not an anorexic, as I have already consumed half of my daily clementine allotment and let’s not even talk about the brownie batter last night. Or the ridiculous amount of food I’m going to eat at the holiday party today.
Does this outfit leave room for a food baby?
Ugh, I should have worn the puffy shirt.
And maybe the slouchy boots.”

Yay I get to be first!
That is soooooo me in the morning. And soooo me with the skinny jeans and the boots over jeans. I want to. I really really want to. Then we go to the mall and I see the girls that wear the boots over jeans, and I don’t want to be them….Here in good ol’ Ohio, we don’t get trends until they’ve died so usually the girls who are wearing “trendy” are 15 year old ho’s. But I bought the skinny jeans anyway and hope someday….

Haha. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has inner monologues about clothes choices. It looks like my closet vomits on my bed some mornings too. Also, I got a mental picture of the sexy red dress with the slouchy boots and laughed out loud and the festive office ho thing. So funny.

You’re so fantastic. I always envision what I’ll wear while I’m showring and then I’ll get out go to put it on and it sucks!

This is why my bedroom and closets are always a mess. I wish clothes had edit-undo functions that just flew back onto hangers into the closet when I don’t want them.

If I didn’t have to find my clothes in the dark (thanks to the still sleeping husband), that would so be me in the morning! Actually, I still come home to a pile of clothes on the bed, but the question is usually, which one doesn’t need to be ironed?

Don’t feel bad…I’ve had cereal AND an apple cinnamon scone. And you don’t even want to know what I’ll be having for lunch.
I totally laughed out loud at “food baby”

Oh Molly, welcome to my every morning.
I hate looking in the mirror before I leave, thinking I look cute, then catching a glimpse of my reflection in a shop window on my way to work and thinking, What the hell was I thinking!?

This is so perfect. Exactly the monologue that goes on in my head practically every morning. It’s ridiculous being a girl!

Haha. Very well done, Molly.
That is EXACTLY like me in the morning. Well, maybe only the “which one is clean?” part.

Hehe, I always get annoyed with my work outfit by the time I’m at work. I’m thinking, “Is it really so hard to coordinate a decent outfit?” or “I have nothing to wear! I really have to revamp my wardrobe!”

Too funny. I know that dialogue too well which is why I usually wear a pair of jeans and a sweater every day. I’m so boring.
I love the idea of an edit-undo button for clothes! That would be so great.

Too funny. My bed is covered in clothes before I leave for work at least 3 days out of the 5.
I really hate when I get to work and I hate my outfit too!

I have the exact same inner monologue on mornings when I’m awake enough to care. Most mornings I’m just looking for something a) warm, b) comfy or preferably c) both. One morning (after Starbucks) I looked down and noticed I was wearing two different shoes. I’m still living that down.

My inner monologue includes quite a bit of swearing today. But I wore pants, you know, in case you were wondering.
(you’re adorable)

This is so me every morning. Like I told you, I now have to plan out my outfits every night so that I can actually make it to work on time in the morning.

it’s so easy being a guy. particularly one that wear two colors — light khaki and dark khaki.

I’ve been wanting to get some slouchy boots! Your final choice sounds like a gem.
You said food baby. Hehe!

Hilarious. Food baby? I love it.
I stood in my closet in my underwear for about 10 minutes just staring at clothes. However, I do a lot of the changing too. It’s the worst getting to work and not liking the outfit choice.

my struggles with work appropriate wear have been so well established that i’m happy if what i’m wearing doesn’t encourage another new work policy memo re: clothing we are not allowed to wear to the office.

I feel your pain because like every other female I do the same thing most mornings. I just remembered that when we lived together we did the same thing when we went out. But we at least had each other to give us a thumbs up or down on our outfits.
I do have to tell you that I am jealous that you always look cute and have the perfect clothes for every occasion. Also, it’s the holidays so you have a free pass on the food you consume.

i always have one piece i realllllllly want to incoporate. then i get cranky when i finally conclude its just not working and settle for something else.

Exactly what I go through, and then I get home and am too lazy to put anything away! haha. But when in doubt go with the gut… and the slouchy boots!

Guilty of this, too. And I moult myself. It’s really gross. I don’t know why my hair keeps falling off when I’m perfectly healthy.
