It really is true that the best conversations happen over dinner.

Dig out your sunglasses, ready the sunscreen, and prepare for the first of countless poolside martinis as summer looms before us.

Yet what you wear to your divorce has a weight and an importance way beyond the simply practical. On the Maslow pyramid of needs, it's well above keeping you warm and dry. What you wear, and how you look and feel in what you wear, is much closer to the top of that scale, nearer to an aspect of self-realisation and fulfilment, than making sure you remembered your cardie.

Your outfit may alter how you approach and interact with the world. Your outfit is a social armor. What we wear has power over our mood and of course, others.

Getting dressed is much easier with some pre-canned outfits you can grab and go with easily. You don't have to necessarily try everything on, or do a lot of work -- just think out how and what you can wear items with and make a mental note.
