What's My System?

It’s only Day 2 and I have already met an obstacle in my no repeating rule. How do I count an outfit as worn?

Most days, it’s easy. I get up, I put on clothes I haven’t worn before, and wear them all day. Simple.

But what about on days that I work? The current outfit I’m wearing I didn’t put on until 4 pm. I’ll only wear it about 6 hours AND I’m not even going to leave my house in that time. So do I still count the shirt and the pants as worn and thus unwearable until I finish my experiment? This won’t be an issue for much longer though—this is my last week of work.

And what about Sundays? On Sundays I wear my church outfit from 9 am-2 pm and then I change into something comfortable for the rest of the day. Do I count both outfits as worn? Or just my church outfit? Maybe I should rewear things only on Sunday afternoon—just to avoid this issue.
Any thoughts?

Exceptions

There are exceptions to the no repeat rule.

The following will (probably) be repeated:

socks

shoes (I might be a clotheshorse, but I’m not a shoeaholic.)

camis/undershirts

underwear (of course)

scarfs/jewelry

hats

Basically the only things that fall under the no repeat rule are tops and bottoms.

EDIT: My work clothes will be repeated--while I do have WAY too much red and khaki in my wardrobe, I don't have enough to always be original when I go to work.

This is an experiment.

I call myself a tomboy—someone’s who is not interested in fashion. Yet I have piles of clothes on my floor right now as I prepare to pack up for another year at college.

How did this happen? Well, I’ll tell you. I’m an upper-middle class American female college student. My parents regularly buy me clothes. I get clothes for birthdays, Christmas, special events (weddings, graduations, parties), the start of school, and the occasional well-that’s-really-cute-on-you outfit by my mom. I also work in the clothing department at Target—I see pretty clothes all the time. Plus I get a discount. So I buy a lot of clothes for myself from Target. The last factor that contributes to this monster pile is my 5 female cousins, all of whom are older than me. Once they outgrow something, they pass it to me. They do this a lot.  

Thus the monster clothes pile is born.

Despite the copious amounts of clothes I have, I find myself rewearing the same outfits over and over. I want to stop that cycle. Right now.

So I’m on a mission—I’m going to wear every single thing in my closet once without any repeats. I’m going to give away outfits that don’t look good or that I don’t like.

I’m going to post a picture of every outfit that I wear here and blog about it. You can see my style and get my view on my clothes.

Who knows? I might even become a fashionista!

Here we go.
