Over the last four years, we’ve been through a lot. While the world has been back open for a while now… does anyone truly feel 100% back to normal? I don’t know about you, but I’m not a robot, so it took your girl a minute to find balance again! And some days, I still don’t feel like I’ve found it. I work with women week after week who feel the same way. They’re all asking themselves, “Why don’t I feel motivated to put in effort anymore?” Sound familiar? Struggling with getting dressed in the morning? Here’s why!
The truth is that when all of our lives were upended, most of us really never gave ourselves the grace to recover from it how we needed to. And that includes how we decided to present ourselves! (Real talk: style is my livelihood, and it took me forever to feel like putting on something other than sweatpants!) Who the hell wanted to go shopping when they didn’t even feel like getting dressed!? It’s hard to climb out of those mindsets and habits. But I’m here to talk you through why these things are happening – and what you can do about it!
Struggling with getting dressed in the morning? Here’s why!
1. Our lifestyles have changed!
For a wardrobe to truly function, it has to match your lifestyle. And for a lot of us, that means working from home! We stopped making an effort because nobody would see us except for the waist up. Well, it’s time to update our wardrobes to reflect how we are rocking and rolling in 2024! This is why the items that worked so well for you before the pandemic are just hanging in your closet while you grab the same old pair of jeans and sweats. Get some casual pants, professional tops, and daily accessories that make you come alive on camera!
2. What’s trendy has changed!
It took two whole years for new trends to finally gain traction because of how much everything was stalled during the pandemic. American retailers are just now getting back to normal with their seasonal collections. So don’t be afraid to ditch the old for something fresh and new! But don’t forget the basics – see my picks HERE!
3. You’re still not ready to get back out there!
Even as a fashion professional, getting dressed every day after the pandemic stressed me OUT. I had to update my look, weed out the items that no longer fit me, and say goodbye to some things that never even saw the light of day! But I’m happy to report I made it, and I have full confidence you can do it too. It’s time for all of us to get back to business. The world is waiting on us!
