My Sunday evenings are spent on “diet spraying.” But I’m not sliced or digging vegetables, or spooning salads into endless tupperware boxes.
I’m eating my outfit.

As a fashion editor who wears clothes and daytime clothes, I’m a bit lazy when it comes to what I’m wearing.
And that led to some chaotic mornings.
The pants I want are almost always in the mess I have at the bottom of the laundry basket, but the top I need is usually wrinkled. That way, whatever I can find, probably won’t go with me.
After an endless morning crying “I’m not wearing anything,” I decided I had to change something.
Scrolling through Tiktok and Instagram, we are attacked by clips of self-righteous people preparing meals for a week.
It never becomes me, but I suddenly had a light bulb moment.
I decided to apply the “meal preparation” technique to my wardrobe. It completely changed my mornings.
Now, rather than staring at the messy rails of clothing, they hang neatly in order, day by day, as they want the costume to miraculously assemble itself.
Not only that, I have time to relax, make coffee and be on time now
To work without feeling stressed.
This approach changed everything.
I discovered it do In fact, there are so many things to wear and you don’t have to buy a new one. So I’m saving it too money -It’s very similar to those self-righteous meal preparations.
My outfits are carefully curated, so I get more praise for what I wear.
Preparing my clothes that week is a life change I didn’t know I needed.
Here’s what I prepared this week: Why not see if this time-saving technique can also work for you?
Monday
- Cropped trench, £39.99, Stradivarius
- Pale pink cardigan, £27.99, H&M
- Camel pants, £29.99, Zara
- Shoes, £49, then
- Bag, £30 Primark
With the right clothing, kickstarting the week with a positive mindset is much easier.
Heading to OfficeI want to feel well put together and smart, so it’s coordinated, wide pants.
This pair of Zara is fluid and loose, so it’s really comfortable. Paired with a comfortable flat, I can gently soften myself this week. And with the trendy leopard print, the shoes don’t look very casual.
Dopamine dressing is a scientifically proven method of using colour to boost your mood. I lean against this uplifting pale white Zen pastel pink H&M cardigans are the perfect choice.
The look is topped with a tailored court – last year it was a real wardrobe staple.
Tuesday
- Blazer, £37.99, H&M
- Blue shirt, £27.99, Zara
- Jeans, £40, very
- Shoes, £59.99, Mango
- Bag, £28, River Island
This is a busy day for me – I have a meeting and I also slap the pavement in London Oxford Dressed for street, photo shoots.
You need a comfortable outfit that is suitable for your work. This allows you to stack clothes on each arm.
Because lightweight layers are important, this oversized check blazer is a great outerwear option. Underneath it, I look for a classic poplin striped shirt that checks out the smart box while sitting at a morning meeting.
At the bottom, it looks smarter than pale denim. When cut wide, your feet look lean without suffocating.
Classic loafers like this pair of mangoes have horse bit details and look like Gucci’s Dupet, but are cheap at 750 pounds.
Wednesday
- Blazer, £37.99, H&M
- Dress, £36, River Island
- Belt, £35, Mango
- Cuff, £28, Marks & Spencer
- Necklace, £46, Boden
- Bag, £21.99, new look
- Heels, £34.99, office
Midweek is when you tend to lose interest in trying to think about what to wear, not “preparing for a meal.”
I’m at my desk all day, but after business hours there’s a work event.
This requires a “everything” dress. It is suitable for your work and is made from a fabric that is too unfolding.
Input: River Island bargain dress.
The cotton fabric is wrinkle-free and the rack details are flattering due to wear all day long.
Dress up plain flocks with a checked blazer. This time I’m wearing it with a thick belt to hold the waist silhouette of the dress.
I’ll choose mini Heels for all-day comfort, then add gold jewelry to enhance the outfit.
Thursday
- Cropped trench, £39.99, Stradivarius
- Top, £28, John Lewis’ Boden
- Pants, 18 pounds, George of Asda
- Bag, £22.99, H&M
- Scarves, £12.99, Mango
- Shoes, £34.99, office
The end of the week is in sight. I spend the morning in the office before heading to an afternoon photo shoot, so I need to feel comfortable when I kneel to tie my shoes and dress the model. I also want to look better at the beginning of the day.
For this reason, I chose these utility pants from George. George has pleats on the front for a tailored, smart look, but is made of polyester, making it dashing around the studio.
To match the utility trends of your pants, pair it with a cropped trench and add a pop of color with a butter yellow bag and its accessories’s secret weapon, neck scarf.
These instantly add color and interest to simple clothes and make you look like you’ve made a real effort.
Friday
- Jacket, £59.99, Reservations
- Jumper, £29.50, Marks & Spencer
- Jeans, £40, very
- Bag, £22.99, H&M
- Necklace, £45, Boden
- Trainer, 16 years old, Peacock
On the last day of the week, offices tend to be quiet, with “dressed down Fridays” coming out.
I go to pub dinner after work with my girlfriend, so I don’t get a job in loungewear.
Instead, I’ll dig out those wide leg jeans again. This time we’ll combine them with a bright trainer and lots of textures.
This viral one-shoulder top from M&S is a perfect knit for the evening, but its statement one-sleeve makes it comfortable.
Add a thick gold necklace and use the spring with this yellow embroidered jacket.
To finish the look, I went to eat a yellow bag since Thursday, so I don’t have to transfer the contents to another bag.
