^^ and ^ Thanks for the nice comments!
In answer to the question...Oddly, I usually wake up in the morning with a mental picture (a "vision"! ) of what I want to wear that day. The ideas are affected by various factors, of course (weather, business settings I'll be in, etc.), but I let my thoughts while I sleep generate the looks -- I seldom make any decisions the night before.
If I wake with a full or close-to-full outfit in mind, I can get dressed pretty quickly. If the mental picture is only partial (occasionally I'll wake up only knowing the shoes, or the suit), I'll have to construct the rest of the outfit backwards from that, and that takes longer. Half-hour, tops (sometimes I look at a number of ties before deciding on the right one -- that usually takes longest).
It's an interesting question. I'd be curious about what processes others use to determine their daily outfits.
