Help a Girl Out: My Last-Minute Outfit Dilemma (and How I Deal with It lol)

Okay, so real talk. You guys know I'm always asking for your help with my outfits, bc tbh I'm the most indecisive person on the planet hahah. Like, it's a real problem. Tanner just shakes his head at me sometimes, but he's also my biggest hype man, so it balances out. Anyway, this time was a real crunch, like we were leaving in an hour and I had NO CLUE what to wear. I swear, sometimes my closet just stares back at me like, 'Good luck, sis.' It happens to the best of us, right?! I posted a few options on Instagram, literally begging for your help, and you guys CAME THROUGH. Like always. I love you sm for that ❤

The Eternal Struggle: What to Wear?!

I feel like this is a universal mom problem, or just a human problem in general. You have a million things to do, kids to wrangle, snacks to pack, and then you look at your closet and it's like a black hole of 'nothing to wear.' Even when it's overflowing. I h8 that about myself hahah. I'll have an event, or just a casual dinner with Tanner, and I'll plan my outfit in my head like a week in advance. But then the day comes, and suddenly nothing feels right. Or the weather changes. Or I just don't feel like wearing what I planned. It's a whole thing. This particular day, we were heading out for something fun, and I just wanted to feel cute and comfy, you know? But my brain was just NOT cooperating. I was literally throwing clothes on the bed, making a mountain of 'no's,' and Tanner was already in the car like, 'Lo, five minutes!' I'm freakin out, y'all. I just knew I needed a lifeline.

My Go-To Strategy When I'm Panicking (aka Asking YOU!)

So, what do I do when I'm in a full-blown outfit panic? I turn to my besties – which is you guys! Honestly, it's the best. I'll snap a few pics of different options, usually in my bathroom mirror (classic, right?), and then I just throw it out there. 'Help me!' 'Which one?' 'Need your fav!' And you guys always deliver. It's so cool to see what everyone picks, and sometimes it's something I wouldn't have even considered, but then I try it on again with fresh eyes and I'm like, 'OMG, yes, that's it!' It's like having a million personal stylists right in my pocket. I love that so much. It takes the pressure off me to make the 'perfect' decision, bc honestly, what even is perfect? It's just clothes, but they can make such a difference in how you feel, right?

Why It's Okay to Not Have It All Figured Out

Sometimes I see people online who always look so put together, and I'm like, 'How do they DO that?!' And then I remember that we're all just figuring it out as we go. My life is beautiful chaos with Stella, Ozzy, and baby Cherry, and sometimes the last thing on my mind is what I'm wearing. But then I also want to feel good when I leave the house, bc it just helps my whole mood. So, it's a balance. And it's totally okay to not have a perfectly curated wardrobe or to always know exactly what you're going to wear. Life is messy, and our closets can be too! It's about finding joy in the little things, like a cute top or a comfy pair of jeans that just *works* when nothing else does. I'm giving you permission to be a hot mess sometimes, bc I am too, and it's fine! Hahah.

My Top Tips for When the Outfit Panic Hits

• Have a few 'fail-safe' outfits: These are the things you know you can throw on and feel good in, no matter what. For me, it's usually a good pair of jeans, a simple tee, and a cute cardigan or jacket. Easy peasy.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help: Seriously, whether it's your mom, your sister, your best friend, or your internet fam like I do – get a second (or a millionth) opinion! It helps so much.
• Comfort over everything (mostly): If you're not comfortable, you're not going to feel good, no matter how cute the outfit is. I've learned this the hard way too many times.
• Accessorize: A simple outfit can be totally transformed with the right jewelry, a cute bag, or a fun pair of shoes. It's like magic!
• Remember the 'why': Why are you getting dressed? Is it for a special occasion? A casual day? Just to feel good for yourself? Keep that in mind and don't overthink it. It's just clothes!

What I Ended Up Choosing (Thanks to You!)

After all your amazing comments and votes, I ended up going with the outfit that felt the most 'me' for that day. It was comfy, cute, and made me feel good, which is all that matters, right? I couldn't imagine getting through some of these daily dilemmas without you guys. You're the best hype squad a girl could ask for. And honestly, it's a good reminder that we're all in this together, figuring out life and outfits one day at a time. Love you all! ❤
