Last week my car died, and as it turns out, needs to be replaced as its not fixable. Now the few days between breaking down, getting the diagnosis, and making plans to buy a new car, have been VERY stressful and I found myself cleaning and organising!!

I always do this - if I get stressed (and I mean extra stress on top of the usual day to day stuff), I clean and clean and clean!!! I declutter, and I organise. I think I'm craving the stability and calm that comes from having a clean clutter free home. People who know me well know that if I'm cleaning frantically, something major is going on LOL

I also withdraw - I don't check my favourite websites, I only check email occasionally etc...

BUT I also dress horribly - very much back to old habits. I lose all interest in my appearance. What ever basic tank and shorts I can find, zero make up, no accessories.

So, it got me thinking - what do you do when you are stressed?
Does it affect the way you dress?

This is the first time I've dealt with a large stressor since I've taken so much more notice of what I'm wearing etc, so I found it quite interesting this morning when I got dressed and actually put on something nice - it made me realise how the stress had really impacted on my wardrobe choices. (And, no, definitely no WIW's from the past few days LOL).
