We are what we wear! | Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Oh my goodness, we're in week 9 of my domestic dummy makeover - only 3 more weeks to go!

This week I am focusing again on one of my real crunch points which is getting things ready the night before - last week it was my bag and this week it's clothes.

I hate that every morning it is a scramble trying to decide what to wear, discovering the things I thought were clean aren't and then pulling on whatever I can find so we get out of the door on time.

I drives me insane but I don't do the simple thing that would help which is get everything ready the night before!

I think a lot of us mums struggle with it, because in those first years of our children's lives we get used to having to "wing it" a lot of the time plus we grab sleep whenever we can and thirdly, we just - and I put my hand up here - let things go a bit.

More fundamentally, I need to get on top of my wardrobe - work out what works and what doesn't and de-clutter big time.

But in the meantime, I will try really hard to take those few minutes every evening to:

Decide what I'm wearing
Hang it out ready for the next day
Pick out some jewellery
AND make sure that my make up is actually on my dressing table and not hidden away in my daughter's bedroom somewhere!

I would love to hear your tips? How do you ensure that you get out of the house looking smart and presentable every morning?
