Dress Up Games at Home


I love to play dress up games at home. The best kind of all is at the start of each new season. For example, I do a summer clothing dress up game the first time it warms up each winter. When I feel that first warm breeze of spring, I think of summer and dig out all of the tank tops and shorts I haven’t worn in a year. I pull everything out of the closet and lay it on the bed.

And then the dress up games for girls begin. To start the dress up games, you simply try on clothing in different combinations to see what still looks good and what outfits you need to give away or put away. If you’ve lost weight, some of your clothing might be too big. If you’re gained a bit over the cooler months, you might need to pick out your bigger clothing for now and keep the smaller pieces boxed for a few weeks while you work to lose a few pounds.

Pull on tops and bottoms and look for outfits you can make. Go through your winter clothing as well to be sure there aren’t any hoodies or pants that you can wear over the last few weeks of transitioning from one month to the next. Long pants with a cami top look great, for example, as do a hoodie and a sundress – if it’s the right combination.
