How important is your outfit/looks?

I have to return to work and was thinking: " I don't have any clothes". Truth is, I have a closet full of busy, colorful, patterned clothes. Lots of which, I simply do not wear.

So for this reason, I will get rid of ones that I have worn many times, and ones that I don't/won't wear and just buy solid tops in like every color. I've been seeing textured solid tops that I think look really good.

Pair that will some nice little flats and cute earrings (I have plenty I love but don't wear) and I'm good.

I think being in good health is what matters to me most. Of course when I can afford an attractive wardrobe it's nice to have but not a huge priority for me.

I was once told I was a "clothes horse", by a not very nice man. If you love clothes, (and I do), it's easy to collect a closet full of deadwood. The hard and fast rule: if you haven't worn it for two years, get rid of it.

I had to do something similar when I went back to work after my divorce. I chose black and navy blue as my main colors for pants and jeans, and forced myself to choose attractive work tops that had one or both of those colors, or a solid colored top.

I like your idea about the textured solid colored tops.

@4meAndyou ooh. Thats not nice. I hate when i buy dressier tops that i love. Then never wear them. I'm burnt out with my job, so i dont wanna wear them there. My church isn't very formal. So i dont really dress up formal like. So i have clothes that i don't wear.
The 2 yr rule is good. So is the marie kondo " does it give you joy"?

@iamnikki Absolutely! I still have a sweater in my closet I can't give up because it once gave me joy.....🤣
Only when going somewhere important or meeting people I haven’t seen in a long time.. I dress for comfort and compete with nobody.

I wear the same basic outfit. I can't be bothered to deal with a whole closet of clothes
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@deadgerbil understandable. I'm bothered by the amount of clothes i have to take out my dresser and off hangers and store in the top of the closet.

Day to day, really important. On the weekend, after hours, I'm t-shirt and shorts guy.

Not hardly at all. But also, I pick things I like when I need something.

Not important to me at all, but I work from home. I don't really care about impressing myself 😊
Doesn't matter, I'll always be a fashion icon 😎

I’m starting to hate patterned clothes myself. I think solid colors look better. I brought a flowered top from Macys and I can’t stand to look at it. I didn’t even wear it yet. Lol

@REMsleep the only place i know of only takes name brand clothes. 🤔

Important to the extent that i don't want to look dirty or like a tramp..

But not to the extent that i want to impress anyone with my clothing..

I have never been impressed by people who look flash.. The more over dressed a person is the more shallow and vain they tend to be..

@Adstar i agree. Flashy people dont tend to have good morals either.
