Preparation Ache

Every day we make a choice of what to wear. Sounds simple. Does everyone have this figured out but me?

In the morning I stare at the closet. Clueless. Don’t like this shirt, this one has a coffee stain, this doesn’t match, the button is loose here, too tight there, too bulky…it’s easy to get overwhelmed even before the sleepies are wiped away.

But this is probably going to be the easiest decision of the day.

Your mother (at least my mother) was right. She called it, “Preparation Ache”. The remedy: figure it out the night before.

In case you thrive on drama and indecision, get two outfits ready. A or B. This or that. Be daring. Make a choice. Go with it.

It’s my new policy.

In fact whenever I come across “basics” that fit well, I’ll buy them in different colors. This helps too. Sorta.

It’s early morning. I chose outfit B. Then rethink it and change into outfit A. I dry my hair, then change back to B and head out the door. I have a few appointments, a trip to the bank, the post office, meet up with someone for coffee late in the afternoon and finally back home…where I hang up my coat.

It’s when I notice my shoe choice. (Almost) the exact same style. One black, one brown.
