For many women, deciding what to wear for work every morning can be a stressful and time-consuming experience.
对很多女人来说,每天早上决定上班要穿什么有时会很紧张,还浪费时间。
But Jackie Brown, 49, from Surrey, was so fed up of her daily fashion dilemma that she decided to put an end to the problem - by wearing the same outfit every day for a whole month (washed and ironed regularly, of course).
但是来自萨里郡49岁的杰基·布朗受够了每天搭配衣服的烦恼,于是她决定解决这个问题——坚持一个月里每天穿同一套衣服(当然会定期清洗熨烫)。
It may sound boring, but Jackie, an editor at women's magazine Good Housekeeping, found that removing her style dilemma from her daily routine helped to start the day on the right foot and boosted her confidence.
可能听起来很无聊,但身为女性杂志《好主妇》编辑的杰基发现:日常生活中省去了搭配衣服的烦恼有助于开启美好的一天,还能增加自信。
She also discovered that despite being worried that she would look boring, nobody noticed that beneath her accessories she was sporting the same garb daily.
她也发现,尽管她担心自己看起来会很乏味,但没人注意到她的配饰下面每天都是同样的打扮。
She said: 'I used to leave house flustered and in a rush and it wasn't a good way to start the day. Also, I would often feel that I hadn't quite pulled off the outfit.'
她说:“我过去都是慌慌张张匆忙地从家里出来,这不是开启一天的好状态。而且,我经常会感觉衣服效果不够好。”
'And I found not having to decide about clothes freed my mind up to think about what I was doing that day.'
“而且我发现不需要决定穿什么衣服解放了我的思想,可以想想那一天要做什么。”
The result was that Jackie felt calmer and more in control and as a consequence, she felt those around her reacted more positively to her too.
结果就是杰基感觉更冷静了,控制能力更强了。因此,她觉得身边人对她的反应也更积极了。
She said: 'I felt good about myself and felt people treated me with more reverence and smiled at me more. '
她说:“我自我感觉很好,感觉人们对我更尊重了,对我笑得更多了。”
