I’m a grad student, and there was this girl in one of my classes last semester who literally wore the same shirt to class every week. It was bizarre. I’m sure she was wearing other stuff at other times during the week, when I didn’t see her, but she wore that shirt every Tuesday.

To be fair, I should note that I’ve been accused by coworkers of never wearing the same thing twice, and I try my hardest not to. So I realize I’m on the extreme other end of the spectrum. But… yeah, I think it’s good to try not to wear the SAME thing to the SAME event every single week, even if you don’t have much clothing.

This reminds me of a conference I went on years ago.
People were paired up & had to find something in common.
This man and woman said they discovered they had both worn same
pants during the conference for three days straight.

I repeat tops no more often than once a month. Bottoms can be worn more frequently.
I try never to repeat the same exact outfit.

In reply to Anonymous. I have four different pairs of almost-identical black trousers that get rotated in and out. My basic uniform is black pants/a-line skirt, bright top (partial to teal and purple, although I've got a deep red sweater I LOVE at this time of year) and a black or grey cardigan. Not the most creative, but it works and for an entry-level position, it stretches the shopping dollar nicely.

“To me, “once every two weeks” is about the max you can get away with for an clothing-specific outfit. ”

Seriously? Not everyone can afford to have this many clothes or accessories. I find your “rule” absurd. Once a week would be more appropriate.

In reply to Parker - Boardroom Belles. I don't think someone would be negative at all.
