Dress Up Games and Sleep

It’s a funny thing, but over the summer I was able to plan all sorts of games to play with my closet and clothing. And then once the school eyar started, I lost all focus on it. I wasn’t going to get dressed up and I wasn’t going to try new, fun combinations of the clothing that I had. I reverted back to what works quickly and I didn’t care much if it was flattering or not – it fit, it was in the dress code and I wore it. It’s a sad statement from someone who used to try on everything in her closet to find just the right outfit for the next day.

I need some serious intervention in my dress up games. I think I’m lacking in sleep and motivation, because right now getting an extra ten minutes of sleep is so worth it, and I can’t do much thinking about what to wear or how to wear it if I’m trying to grab those last few winks of the night. I’m going to have to get serious about my clothing if I want to feel a bit better about myself. I also feel great when I’m dressed up, so maybe I’ll find the balancing point soon.
 

Dress Up Games and Back to School!

Tomorrow marks my first day back at school, and as you can imagine, I’ve spent plenty of time trying to decide what I’m going to wear. I’m of the mindset that the clothing I choose to wear on the first day of school helps to set a precedent for the rest of the year. If I dress in sharp, trendy clothing, it will be hard to follow that up with some grungy items that set an entirely different tone. What I’d like best is to look through my closet and find only the clothing that really feels good one and seems to suit my personality.

If every outfit I had was a perfect one, I’d be able to get dressed every morning and know that I’m sending a message about my confidence and my personal sense of style. It’s tricky to define right now since I seem to be pulled in so many directions, but I’ll get there soon. In fact, I’m planning to get my wardrobe nicely sorted in the next few hours as I dig into my closet to play some serious dress up games with my personal style.

Dress up Games and School Uniforms

Nobody likes the idea of a dress code, and those of us who are stuck in school uniforms deserve a bit of pity from the rest of us, but even when you’re wearing a school uniform, you can still enjoy some great dress up games. Dress up games might be simpler when you have a choice of which clothing to wear every morning, but even if you’re dressed in the same duds as everyone else, you can use your creativity to find ways to make the clothing special and fun to wear, at least.

Using dress up games, you can start with the basics. Would a few carefully selected items make the school uniform easier to wear? Why wear a skirt that doesn’t fit well when you can have it altered slightly to fit across your back more easily or even shorted to a more flattering length? You can have your blouses tailored and by adding simple accessories like the right shoes and hair accessories, your overall appearance can eb dramatically changed making the school uniform the perfect candidate for dress up games.

Dress Up Games for Back to School

It’s almost time to head back to school, but before I walk into the building for the first time, I need to do a serious revamp of my wardrobe. There are so many clothing items in my closet I don’t wear or don’t even like anymore that it’s rather ridiculous. Fortunately, I have a bit of time and budget left this month to make it work. It looks like I’ll be playing some great dress up games to get ready for back to school!

Every year before I head back to school, I like to dig through my closet to find the favorites from the year before. Then I try everything on. After all, my summer diet isn’t as great as my school year one and things tend to fit me differently in the beginning of the year than they did last spring. In some cases, I have to put them on a shelf and take a week or two exercising and cutting some calories to make them fit correctly again. Once I have a good idea of what I already have in the closet, I’m out at the stores finding new outfits and enjoying my dress up games even more! 

Dress Up Games and Summer

The summer months are the best time of the year to really dig into your closet to play some dress up games. The games can be as simple as pulling everything out of you closet and trying it one, the same way you would if you were going to the mall and trying on clothing in the mall. The more clothing you try on, the better your own grasp of your style should be. Take breaks as needed so that you don’t get too bleary.

As you’re trying on the clothing, make a pile of things that don’t fit or that aren’t very attractive on your body. There are very different body types and not everything looks good on everyone. Find the clothing that really looks great on you and stick with that in your closet. Anything that doesn’t look great can go – after all, why would you want clothing that doesn’t fit correctly or that looks odd on? It’s far better to have a small wardrobe that looks great than one that is large and hard to even sort through because you hate everything in it.  

Dress Up Games and Summer

I go back and forth with myself about playing dress up games in the summer months. For one it’s often too hot to really be pulling clothes in and out of my closet, but at the same time, this is when I have the most time to actually work with my wardrobe to come up with a new look. During the summer months, I can play dress up games in my room all day long without any interruptions or complaints. It’s hard to find that much time during the school year with our many obligations.

Unfortunately, about the time you’re really getting into your dress up games, the heat catches up with you and you realize that you’d much rather just take a nap or go to the pool rather than work up a bit of perspiration by pulling on jeans and other clothes that tend to make you hot. If you do play dress up games during the summer, you can enjoy them in peace and quiet. Perhaps you should save the dress up games for the end of the summer months just before school starts again. Then you can use the dress up games as a great way to find new looks for the school year and to find holes in your wardrobe.

Dress Up Games and Tan Lines

There are many great things about summer, but tan lines aren’t really one of them. If you’re looking at some great summer evenings out with friends in flimsy tops, you want to absolutely look your best. But how can you look your best if your back is criss-crossed with all of the different swimsuit patterns you’ve worn this summer? If you’re facing unfortunate tan lines, maybe it’s time to take matters into your own hands – with maturity and wisdom, of course.

Tanning is bad, surely by now you know that, but it still happens. Sometimes it happens accidentally when you forget the sunscreen, but other times it happens quite on purpose when you lay in the sun baking for hours on end. If you’ve earned an unfortunate tan, you can enjoy dress up games that hide the lines or you can work to make the lines disappear if they show up in your favorite top. An easy way to hide the lines is to get the help of a friend and use a self-tanner. Paint the tanner onto the light spots on your skin and wait the necessary amount of time. Just be sure to buy the right tanner for your current skin tone.
