As it turns out, I don’t have enough clothes to wear something different every day for more than about 7 days. Unless that something different is a T-shirt, in which case I could. But the point of this exercise was to wear fewer T-shirts, so I don’t think that would work.

So anyway. I did not manage to wear not-a-T-shirt every day. It has been in some ways a difficult week, and there have been days when I haven’t left the house. It’s been a lot of T-shirts and sweatshirts since Saturday. And also I discovered that I’ve already managed to stain one of my new shirts, which is a bummer. I’m continuing to try to get the stain out.

In the meantime, here are a few things I’ve worn lately. One of them is representative of my uniform since Saturday.

Week Two, and already I need to plan another outing for more Sturdy Togs. But instead of going out and trying on clothes and getting all “Uggghhhhhh” and spending money and then taking half of it back after we get it home and are all “Whaaaaaat,” let’s pretend that I have a closet full of lovely things, and that I’m wearing them frequently, shall we?

Here are some things in my imaginary closet:

“Blouse” is one of those words that makes me shudder a little. Nevertheless, I like this very colorful blouse. I shy away from color, though, so I don’t know if or how frequently I’d actually wear it. But I like it. It’s a start.

I also tend not to wear white shirts. Mostly because I spill things on myself all the time. I’m noticing a trend here: I seem to be defining my “style” (ha ha!) by what I don’t wear. Ah, profound insight! Anyway, I like this outfit. I’m not sure about the scarf/snood thing, though. I don’t know how to wear them.

I don’t know why that head is floating around in there. For the hairstyle, maybe? Is that Katie Holmes? I think that’s Katie Holmes. I would not add a floating head to this outfit, but I like the grey cardigan (because it is grey, obviously) and I like the color of the shirt. And I also kind of like the detail around the neckline.

Quirky! I like quirky. I don’t like it when my clothes touch me, though, so this is in my imaginary self’s imaginary closet.

And finally! This one is from my friend Robin, who is “the best stylist everrr.” She calls it “I only talk about crockpot recipes & potty training.” I don’t talk about potty training any more, but I do only talk about crockpot recipes. And I have that bag, but with green trim. But I wouldn’t wear those sandals.
