How much of a notice do you need before going out?
For an event where you must wear something more dressy than athleisure wear — how much of a notice do you need to be physically and mentally to prepared?
Before the pandemic where I couldn’t neccesarily be ready at the drop of a hat but i was used to putting on real clothes and could be fine with a two day notice for a brunch with the girlies — three days if it’s a night out on the town.
Now that things are returning with a little sense of normalcy I find myself needing about 5 to 7 days notice. Maybe I’ve lost my touch since I went from going out to at least once a week to… damn near a full year without going out and as of 2021 maybe 2x a month. I also need a nap before. Hair, makeup, outfit. Gotta check for keys, masks, phone, and vaccine card.
For brunch, an hour. For drinks late at night maybe two so I have enough time to pregame lol.
Brunch? Like an hour. A night out? Maybe 2 hours. I guess I'm just thirsty for a hang!
At least 3 hours. Color matching has become quite a sport for me.
3 weeks
If it's something like, say, a company Christmas party or a wedding, I definitely need a month's notice. For a random event, 1-2 days is preferred, just to ensure I have the proper outfit, and can go get one if not. Also, I'll want to be able to plan to work out that morning, since the assumption is that I'll be too hungover to do so the next day, lol.
I say I need at least three hours notice, that way I have enough time to find an outfit, shower, & get ready.
This is a great question and does depend on where I would be going and who with. Also, another point with the pandemic, I find myself getting ready for bed way earlier than I used to, so chances are if it's already 7 pm and you're hitting me up, I'm already in my pajamas, so no. If we're going out-out, I need at least a day to mentally prepare. If we're going somewhere casual or to a friends house or something, I need a couple hours notice.
I feel like it depends who it is! There are some people that I'd be super excited to hang out with a few hours notice, and some people where I still feel like I'd need 5 days to prep mentally for it.
That's a great question. Honestly, an hour. Unless I need to do a full shower then 2 hours!
