Six days into the clothing "fast". Here are the articles I am wearing this month:
2 short sleeved t-shirts - one black, one white
1 long sleeved t-shirt white
1 pair jeans
1 pair pants grey
1 cardigan sweater black
1 long sleeved over shirt black
(I seem to have a fascination w/black)
work out clothes:
1 pair running pants black
1 grey t-shirt UB Football
1 long sleeved pink capilene shirt
church
1 black sweater
1 black skirt
Have you noticed a color theme? My jeans have a hole in the knee after three days of straight wear. Am I allowed to change them out?I am also thinking this month may be harder than the last. Who knew that I cared so much about my clothes? Tomorrow I will write in 50 words or less what my clothes say about me or what I THINK my clothes say about me and does anyone really care besides me?
Lynne, are you threatening to go goth on us?! Or is all the black clothing a statement of mourning - having to give up all your other clothing for a month. Regarding your jeans, in my opinion anyway, I think it would be fine to switch them out for another pair of pants. As long as you're sticking within the number of clothing items you originally allowed yourself, I see no problem in that.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking a lot about what my clothes say about me or, as you said, what I THINK they may say about me...and it's been hard to come up with an answer. I'll try to put into words what has come to mind though...
It's kind of sad to admit this, but I have always worried about what other people think of me and how I dress. I try not to care, but there is always a part of me that does. I try to pick clothes that are tasteful, fashionable and (yes, I'll admit this too) flatter me. I want to look good in what I'm wearing. The biggest thing? Even if I am falling apart on the inside and my world is chaotic, I want my clothes to give the impression that I'm comfortable, in control and put together.
Does anyone else dwell on what I'm wearing as much as I do? I'm gonna say No (at least I hope this is true!).
