Remember back in your younger school days you’d plan your outfit the night before class? Sometimes even for the whole week! Okay, maybe your parents did it for you. But the point is that time was SAVED from having to figure it out the day of. Nowadays the adult thing to do is meal prep but let’s keep that same energy sis and apply that time saving approach to our clothes.

Why should you plan your outfits? Maybe there is a special occasion happening such as Fashion Week or a vacation coming up. It's best to plan out your outfits ahead of time so you can actually enjoy your experience! Laying out your clothes for the week before can be a productivity boost as well. You've already eliminated the "what to wear" task so now you can focus on other things that need to get done.

Up for the challenge? Go over your schedule for the week to see what occasions you have coming up, and also be sure to check the weather. Take a photo of EVERY outfit you like to wear and keep them in a folder on your phone. It’s a great way to figure out which items can be worn in different combinations and what needs to be added. This article lists 8 outfit planning apps to simplify your life. Yes it may be a little bit of a hassle to do it yourself but guess what, we at A Creative Cliché can do it for you too! Get your personalized lookbook with items from your own closet! (Ask us more about this service if you are someone who tends to get stuck in a cycle of wearing the same 2-3 outfits over and over.)

Once you have all your outfits for Monday through Friday planned (including accessories!), put them all together in your closet, in order day-by-day. Each look should go on its own hanger, so you can grab it, put it on and go! If you find that certain pieces never seem to make it into the rotation, it's probably time to donate or sell those items. It becomes a win-win situation at that point. What are you thoughts on outfit pre-planning?
