This happens to me ALL the time. I leave the house feeling fabulous only to return 10 hours later feeling "wrong." For me it usually means that I tried something new at the office and it came off as too casual or unprofessional. It could be that I wore tennis (didn't work), the "v" was too deep and I had to keep adjusting it (threw that shirt away), the top was too sheer (felt exposed), the colors were wrong (olive may not be my best color), etc.

There was always a reason. This is why I take a picture every morning and then in the evening give the outfit a "star" rating. If the outfit only rated a 3 starts, I don't repeat it or relegate it to casual. My goal is to only wear outfits that rated at least 4 stars and above.

Glad to see this thread surfaced again; I thought of a response earlier but never posted it.

I often leave the house in the a.m. feeling confident about my outfit, but find my confidence evaporates throughout the day as I notice everyone around me who seem to be better dressed than I--more on trend, more expensive clothing, more polished hair and make up, better figure, etc. Sometimes I really can't assess whether the differences are real or imagined. My friend calls this "comparison mind" and reminds me how unhelpful it is. I do know without a doubt that, thanks to YLF, my outfits are consistently better than they were a year ago.

My #1 complaint is sliding down jeans!!! It is partly my body's fault and my unwillingness to do alterations. I am an hourglass so need a bigger size for my rear and thighs, but the jeans are almost always too loose in the waist (in the case of most jeans, that means at your high hip or belly button). Even with a belt, these pants slide down over the course of a day on my feet, they sit somewhere much lower on my hips so if I bend over you can see the plumbers butt. I do wear longer shirts tucked in so fortunately not too many customers have had to view this aspect of my anatomy. Still, the feeling of pants sliding down to plumber territory drives me bonkers. I thought that buying high-waisted jeans would solve the problem but it has not. The only instance where slip doesn't happen is if I tailor the jeans, buy them with a curved waistband or buy them in a smaller size.

So yeah, I have definitely thought about this!

Other than that, it's just being tired.
