Another lover of the "time to make the donuts" quote here
I used to set up outfits the night before like you and got up really early but I never did multiple days at once....good for you to plan ahead like that and I totally get that the military uniform thing must have been so much simpler. My outfits were not very interesting, same type of corporate/professional formula, but it worked.
When I first started working I remember a woman who was an exec secretary who was single, in her mid 20's, and lived with her parents. She told me she spent 3 hours every morning on hair, makeup, clothes etc. To this day I cannot fathom what she could have done that would have taken 3 hours, but it mattered to her and that's how she wanted to spend her time plus of course she was living the life of a child with nothing to do except dress up and go to work. Funny thing is that she was quite beautiful and would have looked great with no makeup and dressed in a potato sack.
