Every morning, I stand in front of my closet with the same question spinning in my head like a fashion roulette wheel: Which outfit should I wear next? 🥰 It might seem like a small decision, but if you’re anything like me, you know that what you wear can completely change your vibe, energy, and confidence for the day.
Clothes are more than fabric stitched together — they’re little expressions of our mood, dreams, and identity. So let’s have some fun and walk through the mental fashion show I host every time I need to choose my next outfit!
1. The Mood Check
Before I even touch a hanger, I ask myself: What kind of day do I want to have?
- Do I want to feel powerful? Maybe a blazer and boots.
- Do I want to be comfy but cute? Oversized sweater, leggings, and sneakers.
- Do I want to turn heads today? Something bold, bright, or a little daring.
- Do I want to feel artsy and creative? Flowy skirts, unique patterns, layered jewelry.
Sometimes I even let my playlist decide. If I’m blasting Beyoncé, you better believe I’m coming out in heels. But if it’s a lo-fi coffeehouse vibe, I’m all about soft cardigans and cozy textures.
2. The Weather Factor
Of course, the weather has a say too. There’s nothing worse than choosing the perfect outfit only to realize the sky had other plans.
- Sunny and warm? Hello, sundress and sandals!
- Rainy day? Waterproof boots, stylish trench coat, and maybe a cute umbrella.
- Cold and breezy? Time for layers — turtlenecks, scarves, and my favorite coat.
Sometimes I even plan outfits around accessories like a cute scarf or hat I’m dying to wear. It’s all part of the fun.
3. The Occasion Countdown
Different occasions call for different looks. Here’s my quick breakdown:
- Workday but casual: Think polished yet relaxed. Maybe high-waisted jeans, a tucked-in blouse, and some loafers.
- Date night: Flirty, flattering, and fun. I love pairing a wrap dress with heels and a bold lip.
- Girls’ brunch: Trendy all the way! A midi skirt, crop top, and cool shades.
- Chill day at home: Soft joggers, a crop hoodie, and fuzzy socks — but still cute enough for a surprise FaceTime call.
And sometimes, there is no occasion. I dress up just because I want to feel good. Fashion is self-care too, you know?
4. Closet Staples vs. New Finds
I have go-to pieces I can always rely on: my black skinny jeans, white sneakers, and a denim jacket that fits just right. But there’s also that new top I bought last weekend that I haven’t worn yet — and it’s calling my name.
Balancing old faves with new additions keeps things fresh. I try not to save my favorite pieces for “special occasions” only. Life is the occasion. Wear the dress. Rock the boots. Try the statement earrings. The compliments will follow, promise. 😘
5. Color Therapy
Yes, this is real! The colors we wear can totally influence how we feel — and how people respond to us.
- Red for confidence and power
- Yellow for cheerfulness and optimism
- Blue for calm, trust, and focus
- Pink for sweetness and charm
- Green for balance and peace
- Black for elegance and mystery
Sometimes I’ll challenge myself: “Wear a color you usually avoid today.” You’d be surprised how fun that is!
6. The “Try-On Show” (AKA Closet Chaos)
Let’s be honest. Choosing an outfit sometimes turns into a full-blown fashion show in front of the mirror — and there’s nothing wrong with that! I’ll try on five outfits, snap some mirror selfies, and twirl a bit before I settle on the one.
I might throw on a pair of heels, then swap them for flats. Add a necklace, take it off. Tuck in the shirt, untuck it again. My floor ends up looking like a boutique after a flash sale — but hey, style takes time!
Sometimes, I even phone a friend or send a few outfit options in our group chat. Fashion advice from your girls = priceless.
7. Accessories Make the Look
Accessories are like the cherry on top. Sometimes the right bag or pair of earrings can take a basic outfit and make it pop. I always ask myself:
- Should I go for gold or silver today?
- Do I need a belt to define this waistline?
- Hat or no hat?
- Which bag fits the vibe — the tote or the mini crossbody?
And don’t even get me started on sunglasses. I have a pair for every possible mood: bossy, bougie, artsy, mysterious — you name it.
8. Confidence is the Best Fit
No matter what I wear, I try to remember: the best outfit is confidence. I’ve worn bold looks that made me nervous at first — until I stepped out the door, stood tall, and owned it. And guess what? People loved it. But more importantly, I loved how I felt.
So whether it’s a power suit, a crop top, or just your favorite hoodie — if it makes you feel amazing, that’s what you should wear next. 🥰
9. A Few of My Favorite Combos (In Case You’re Wondering)
- High-waisted jeans + graphic tee + oversized blazer + sneakers
- Satin midi skirt + knit sweater + ankle boots
- Monochrome look (all beige or all black) + layered necklaces
- Casual romper + denim jacket + bucket hat
- Oversized hoodie + biker shorts + chunky sneakers
I mix and match depending on my vibe that day — cozy, chic, playful, or fierce.
So… What Should I Wear Next?
Honestly? Whatever makes me smile when I look in the mirror. Fashion isn’t about impressing others — it’s about expressing yourself. Your clothes should feel like you. Sometimes it’s a soft pastel cardigan. Other days, it’s leather pants and a smirk.
The outfit I wear next will be a celebration of how I feel, who I am, and what I want to say without saying a word.
And when in doubt, I just go for something that makes me say: “Ooooh yes, she did that!” 💁♀️
Okay, your turn: Which outfit should YOU wear next? 🥰
