Welcome to "Closet Freak-Out"
This is a game of decision making, but you’ve got to be quick AND smart. Select slowly and risk being late for work. Select poorly and risk arriving to work looking dishevelled.
All you have to do is select items from the closet to create a put-together look for the office.
[[Sound easy?]]...or are you already feeling (text-style: "rumble")[anxious...]
Let's assume undergarments are taken care of...
It's Monday, you're thinking (text-style: "italic")+(text-colour: "green")[fresh look for a fresh week.]
[[White Blouse]]
[[Floral Blouse]]
[[White Dress Shirt]]
[[Pale Blue Dress Shirt]]Great choice, but it's not hanging in your closet. You spend 10 minutes looking for it before finding it in the dryer. Tick-tock, late for work.
[[Start]] again.Floral on a Monday...a little adventurous, but it's clean and hanging neatly in the closet.
How to pair?
[[Animal Print Pencil Skirt]]
[[Gray Slacks]]Well, this would have been the perfect choice, except that you wore it out after work last week, and instead of throwing it in the wash, you popped it right back into your closet at (text-style: "smear")+(text-colour: "brown")[2:00am]. [[Start]] again.Perfect choice - clean, pressed and the perfect hue for sliding into the week.
How will you pair it?
[[Dark Gray Slacks]]
Navy Slacks with a [[White Pinstripe]]You look in the mirror and you know you've made the right choice. This will get you through a Monday feeling confident.
You start wondering about accessories.
[[Floral Brooch]]
[[Scrunchie]]
Monogrammed [[Gold Necklace]]You look in the mirror and see that this outfit is coming together. A few last selections and off you go.
Socks...
Pale [[blue]] to match that shirt.
Feeling confident and thinking [[polka dot]].The pinstripe seems a little mismatched when you look in the mirror. You're second guessing your selection. You try on the gray slacks and then you're back to the pinstripe.
Tick-Tock, you're late for work.
[[Start]] again.A bit too much print for a Monday at the office. [[Start]] again.Wait...where's the other sock. One sock!?
You search (text-style: "rumble")+(text-colour: "brown")[frantically], only to discover that it was likely left in your gym locker.
Tick-Tock...Late for work.
[[Start]] again.A little on the wild side for a Monday morning, but those polka dots are working.
Hmmm...Thinking about some final touches.
Throw on matching gray [[blazer]]
An oversized black [[watch]]
A [[beaded necklace]] you picked up in the Bahamas last year.Yes, you've [[nailed it]]! Slip on those shoes and off you go!
A perfect accessory, sure to keep you on time for those Monday meetings...oh wait...2:35pm...dead battery!?
You nailed it with the [[polka dot]] socks, but go back and rethink the accessories!NO. You knew it was a mistake the minute you put it on.
[[Start]] again.(text-style: "outline")[Congratulations]! You survived another morning without a (text-style: "rumble")[closet freak-out].You look in the mirror and realize immediately that the floral on floral can't be pulled off on a Monday at the office. You demonstrated perfect taste with the [[Gray Slacks]]. You decide to rethink the accessories.Hmmm...this would be perfect...for a Grade 7 Slumber Party.
[[Start]] again.Yes, yes, yes.
Pick an handbag and get going!
[[Black Briefcase]]
[[Pink over-the-shoulder handbag]]It serves a purpose, but it's not doing anything for your outfit. You get to work on time, but you regret your choice and hide it under your desk all day.
Head over to [[Pink over-the-shoulder handbag]].Perfect. You look good and feel good. You're on time and ready to take this week by the horns!
[[nailed it]]!
Now. pop on some pumps to match and get going!
