I can’t remember how this idea came about, but I think it’s a good idea for anyone like me, so I wanted to share! Maybe it’s because I went to Catholic School my whole life and I had to wear a uniform every day, so I have a hard time getting dressed most days, especially in the morning. I am not, I repeat, NOT, a morning person! Sometimes trying to figure out what I wanted to wear, would make me late for work, because I would change like three or four times and still be unsatisfied when I left with what I was wearing. Now, I am totally not a trendy person - thanks Catholic School - but, sometimes something I wear might be trendy, but that’s a coincidence - ha ha! For the most part, I try to just wear something that I feel comfortable in and that makes me happy. So, on February 19, 2021, I came up with the idea to make a photo album in my phone of my outfits that I was happy with (when I remembered to take a pic), when I was leaving for work, etc. and therefore, the “Leaving Album” was born. I use this to help me figure out what to wear in the mornings when I’m struggling to find an outfit! In fact, I just used this the other day! The only problem I run into these days, when using the leaving folder, is when I can’t find the shirt or pants that I was looking for...which means it’s time to organize my closet! Now, I feel kind of silly posting all these pictures of myself, but, for your viewing entertainment, and also to get the point across…here goes!! Let me know if this helps you or if you do this too!

Just looking through these, I noticed sometimes these are for work, sometimes it's me on my way to home depot, sometimes it's a holiday, sometimes there's a dog in the picture and sometimes I make notes about what I'm wearing...like in the "blue pants" picture...just in case I forget that I own blue pants! LOL! This has truly helped me over the last few years! And I've got 85 total pictures in this album now! I still add to them and I definitely still use this to get dressed when I can't think of what to wear!
