Strategizing My Wardrobe

I'm developing a strategy to get through my closet. I have to have variety in my clothes if I'm going to get through this. I can't wear all of my jeans at the start and then have only skirts and khaki pants. I can't wear all of my t-shirts in a row and only have dressy shirts left. I might have to wear a dress on a non-Sunday (GASP!). I have to move between casual outfits and more dressed-up things like collared shirts on a daily basis. I have to save my black pants and shorts for that time of the month (I wore a pair of black shorts on Day 3 and then wished I hadn't. I might need those shorts later!). I have to have careful planning when I go to school (as I have previously stated).

And there might be days when I just NEED to wear a certain item (black shorts, sweatpants, a collared shirt, etc.) and what if I've run out? I can't let that happen!

So variety and planning are the catchphrases of this blog. Don't be surprised if you see me wearing a skirt to class!

Getting Ready for School

I'm going off to school in a week. Obviously I want to keep up the no repeats rule while at school, but that requires some planning. Here's what I am thinking:

I'm going to take 30 outfits at a time with me to school and then come home once a month to switch out the outfits. I live only an hour away from my school, so it's pretty easy to get home. I'll just pack all the clothes into my suitcase and drive home.

So that'll be 30 pairs of pants, 30 shirts, and then 4 church outfits. I'll take all my non-repeating things with me (shoes, socks, underwear/bras, undershirts, pajamas, etc).

I'm planning to pack up an extra 2 weeks of outfits before I leave, leave it in my room, and then when I come home for Labor Day Weekend, switch out my first 2 weeks of school outfits for the new ones.

Hopefully this idea will work for me!
