LADY DIOR MANNEQUIN

When analysis leads to paralysis

In order to feel put together and balanced, especially early mornings, I like to dress my part. In general, my outfits tend to be creative and visually appealing. With life being very busy and a 4 year old running around the house, things can get very hectic as I am sure many of you can relate. 

Several years ago, I went through a phase where I found it incredibly stressful to get dressed in the mornings. I had lost my spark for creativity for a while, which can happen and that's ok. However as time went by, I was noticing my jeans, t-shirts and sneakers had become my best of friends. Almost like the cookie in the kitchen cabinet, knowing it is there and easy to reach for to heal the cravings. I was unable to create outfits, period. 

At that time, creating a new outfit became a time consuming chore. Each and every wardrobe staple I had combined already, and couldn't think of what to create next. Buying more clothes certainly was an option but wanted to keep an overview of the things I had already owned. The scattered thought of what will I wear next paralyzed my creativity. 

Have you ever felt like; "what will I wear tomorrow?", because you are unable to come up with new outfit combinations.

Then, I had a clever idea about getting one of these figures that can be dressed up. I am lucky enough to have a Pier One Imports near my home, so I went to buy her. I named her Lady Dior. Since Lady Dior started living in my closet, I started to create outfits more quickly and efficiently than ever before. 

How my Lady Dior Mannequin has helped me become more efficient with my outfit creations. 

• ability to create outfits quickly and efficiently
• wonderful for visually creating layered outfits with ease
• reduces unhappiness and stress by being able to disassociate from the body and see the clothes on another frame than your own  
• sparks creativity and imagination
• displays jewelry and clothing beautifully
• dressing her the night before with the next day outfit helps with time management

I found this beauty at Pier One Imports. I named her Lady Dior.

Perfect for displaying jewelry

Her home is my closet...

A Mannequin is a convenient helper for creating quick and visual outfits in the morning. 

This method of getting dressed is less stressful as I do not have to focus on my body but rather the mannequins frame. (Really helpful on the days when women don't feel so good about their bodies.)

She helps me stay organized and hassle free before leaving the house in the morning.
