Im glad its not just me then my OH thinks I have OCD when it comes to clothes now as when the kids are at school and I have to get up early I hang the whole outfit up and put out the jewellery Im going to wear...I have been know to out the shoes and bag out too......he says its obsessive but I say its practical as I have to get myself and 3 kids out the door before 8am so if I dont do this I would end up in jogging bottoms with unbrushed hair.....:rotfl:

I never really plan what I'm wearing the night before unless I have to be up and out early.
I guess I'm lucky that unless I have an appointment I don't often have to be anywhere till whatever time I feel like, so not much thought it required.
I generally reach in to my wardrobe, or a drawer and hope!

Nici - more charity shopping purchases just uploaded on the blog.

As I've had a few requests I'll be doing a second-hand shopping guide over the next few posts for anyone not already converted to the thrifty way of life.

Planning ahead? I wish! I'm influenced by anything and everything in my dress (a tune on the radio, article in the Guardian, a late night post from one of my favourite bloggers). I'm a chaotic dresser with multiple personalities, I'm either rock chick, hippy chic or 1940's lady. I never know what I'm going to end up wearing.

I rarely plan what I'm going to wear, or plan something and end up changing it at the last moment. I tend to look rather thrown together, mostly because my outfits are thrown together most days! (and I can never be bothered to do my hair...)

I never plan my outfits (esp on workdays) and often spend 10 minutes trying to decide/find garments in the morning!!! I might give that a go. For nights out, weddings etc, I usually do decide what to wear in advance... and sometimes can't find it/fit into it on the day!!!!! :rotfl:

I know girls who hang jewellery up with an outfit so that it all matches, that's waaaay too organised for me! And anyway, lots of my jewellery goes with more than one outfit.

Did I post a pic of my new necklace last night? CBA going back and checking, so here it is (possibly again):

Re planning ahead, something I've wanted for ages is a really lovely old dummy for such a purpose (thing I said this last month too.) when we move I'll have more room, and this will be an option.

My more successful outfit days are the ones where I plan things the night before. I am awful in the mornings, my brain doesn't get going till about 10am so the more I can think about it in advance the better. My tramp days are the ones where I sleep in really late and have no time and just chuck on any old crap.

Sparkly necklace tara! I'm quite drawn to that chunky antique gold necklace underneath it, despite it totally not being my thing at all.

Daisy - don't fret about the cakes, they look amazing

Welcome choccy!

Hi all! I had loads to reply to but I got distracted by Daisy's fantastic cakes and i've forgotten.

Been photographing and sorting out for ebay today. I have nearly 50 items to list! Eeek, wish me luck. Also smashed a mirror today, I wasn't sure my luck could get any worse so i'm hoping it'll cancel it out.

Just making a spare photobucket account and i'm going to upload pictures of todays outfit.

was suffering a bit with my mood before that but I feel back on track now I know she is happy.
