YOU’RE NOT BAD AT GETTING DRESSED — YOU’RE JUST MAKING TOO MANY DECISIONS
YOU’RE NOT BAD AT GETTING DRESSED — YOU’RE JUST MAKING TOO MANY DECISIONS
From the House
Let’s start here.
If getting dressed feels harder than it used to, it’s not because you’ve lost your sense of style.
It’s because you’re carrying more than you were before.
More responsibility.
More context-switching.
More people to think about.
And your closet — quietly — has become one more place where decisions pile up.
The Moment You Probably Recognize
You stand in front of your clothes and feel a strange pressure to “get it right.”
Not perfectly. Just… correctly.
Something that won’t distract you later.
Something that won’t make you second-guess yourself halfway through the day.
Something that feels like you, without requiring too much thought.
And somehow, despite having options, you feel stuck.
This is the moment most women assume something is wrong with them.
It isn’t.
What’s Actually Happening (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)
Your brain can only make so many decisions before it starts to resist.
By the time you’re getting dressed, you’ve already:
made dozens of micro-choices
anticipated other people’s needs
adjusted plans
managed expectations
So when your closet presents you with infinite possibility, your nervous system doesn’t feel inspired — it feels tired.
This is called decision fatigue.
And it shows up most clearly in places that used to feel easy.
Why More Clothes Rarely Solve This
Here’s the trap most people fall into:
When choosing feels hard, we assume we need better options.
So we shop.
We add.
We hope.
But without clarity, more options usually mean:
more mental noise
more “almost” outfits
more things you like, but don’t reach for
What actually reduces decision fatigue isn’t novelty — it’s familiarity and trust.
The Shift That Changes Everything
The women who feel most confident getting dressed aren’t the ones with endless closets.
They’re the ones who know:
which silhouettes feel grounding
which pieces they don’t have to think about
which combinations always work
which clothes support their real days
They’re not guessing every morning.
They’ve removed friction.
And that’s a skill — not a personality trait.
What You Can Do (That Actually Helps)
Here’s the reframe that changes things:
You don’t need to reinvent your style.
You need to reduce the number of decisions you’re asking yourself to make.
That looks like:
identifying the pieces you trust
letting go of items that create hesitation
building outfits that work together without effort
having guidance when you feel stuck
When decisions are fewer, confidence has room to show up.
Why Support Matters More Than Willpower
Most women don’t struggle because they’re indecisive.
They struggle because they’ve been trying to do everything alone.
Having someone help you see patterns — instead of possibilities — is often the turning point. Not because you’re incapable, but because clarity is easier to build with perspective.
That’s what changes the experience from exhausting to supportive.
The Real Win
The goal isn’t to love every outfit.
The goal is to open your closet and feel:
“I know what to do.”
When that happens, getting dressed stops taking so much from you — and starts giving something back.
