I just thought I'd share my insight about getting dressed in the morning. I find that I have to know what I'm going to wear before I walk into my closet in the morning. I know some people are organized enough to set out their outfit the night before, but that might be too ambitious for me. I make that my shower task. While showering I identify my outfit, and then after showering I can walk into my closet and immediately select what I'm going to wear. If I don't do this, either I walk into the closet and feel overwhelmed with choices or quickly grab an easy outfit that I wear too often. I have also gotten tired of pantihose, so I have purchased classy socks that can go with my various outfits. Some mornings I do have problems deciding which socks to wear, even if I'm running late, which is common.
For the past 4 years, I have had my first walk-in closet, and in the past few years have upgraded my wardrobe so I have better choices. I have learned to organize my closet so I have the season-appropriate choices in the front and out-of-season clothes towards the back so I'm not distracted by them. Also, this past summer, the hanging rod feel under the weight, so I moved some clothes to an unused closet in my guest room.
