The whole bunch will stay "new" for a way longer time, you dont wear the indivitual shirt very often, what reduces wear greatly.

      I always think this, however I live in a climate where it’s warm for most of the spring and summer but wet and colder in the winter, but rarely freezing and if it is it lasts a day or two and I rarely have seen snow. Because of my dislike for certain textures and the feel of excessive baggy clothing I never wear layers, so basically if it’s cold I wear a long sleeve T shirt, suck it up and embrace the freezing nipples..

    Oh, mate, you outdid me. I wore the same black dress for a year at University once.... I have other clothes but I just wanted to wear my "thinking dress", so I could stay focussed, concentrate, avoid distractions. I was always neat and clean and I carefully washed and ironed it, but despite all my pains to try and be clean, socially acceptable, not smelly and dirty, everybody still complained about fact that I wore same black dress everyday. I don't know why. I wasn't hurting anybody. I was doing a my assignments etc as required. Even one of the academics asked me if I had a problem since I appeared to be "grieving". I just gave him a compassionate, concerned, bewildered look and tried "No. I'm fine. Are you OK?" That caught h of guard and he stammered and stuttered, replying "Well, yyyes, of course... ". I could te he was perturbed about my black dress. So I reassured him all was well and tried "Well, that's nice to hear... I get a lot out of your very enlightening lectures... " He recovered his wit and joked "Well, that's good to hear. I hope they are not do enlightening and bright that their light of wisdom dazzles you and causes you to take refuge, by wearing that same black dress I notice you have worn every single day this academic year...". I reassured him that I could handle the light of his wisdom. That night I washed my black dress as usual and hung it out to dry. By morning it was gone. Some student had taken it as a trophy to win some bet he had with another who souvired it. When I realised my black dress was gone forever, I felt so angry and devastated and genuinely depressed. I just could not face the day without it. I missedlectures and just stayed in bed in a darkened room all day pondering life without my favourite black dress. Eventually I found a bright red one to emerge into the daylight in. I felt like a freak on public display and as soon as they saw me in a red dress they all cheered. It took me ages to readjust. After wearing the same comfortable old familiar dress every day for a year. It can be done. But I like to own other outfits, too, even if I seldom wear these. It enables me to feel "open to possibilities, opportunities...".When I wore black everyday I had deliberately planned to cut off all other possibilities for my life. No boyfriends, no partying, no fooling around, nothing. I was simply going to just do nothing but study. I had come from a very deprived background and was lucky to be at uni. I knew I was disadvantaged and needed to work harder than the rest because I was from a poor rural government school, not some prestigious urban private school. So I couldn't be like them. Plus I had no parents to pay my way and had to work in factories etc to get money to live on, in the times when uni students had to pay full tuition fees and there were no student loans like now. So wearing my same black dress everyday like a uniform did not bother me one bit. I could design and sew fine fashions and knew that, once through uni, if I saved some money working at various jobs I had, I could easily see up a fashionable wardrobe to strut around in, which I did do and then found little jobs modelling hair, clothed etc in swish Melbourne downtown fashion venues etc where I could also mix with all these glamourous models etc I found bored me shitless with their utter stupidity, but I must say, some were extremely beautiful. It was an easy but boring way to get money for doing nothing, just swanning around looking beautiful.

      I can't believe they just stole your clothes like that! That's so rude and uncalled for. If I ever found out who did that to me, I would absolutely make them pay a hefty reimbursement. If they tried to wriggle their way out of the consequences, I'd let them know that respecting other people's belongings and life choices doesn't cost a penny.

May everything you own bring you joy while you have them and may their loss never invoke such deep pain.

    One thing that i've found really helps (without going as far as Matt) is to find a color scheme for your wardrobe and stick to it. This tends to hit the sweet spot of allowing creative expression, but lessens the decision fatigue because everything more or less matches. That being said, you should be minimizing your closet often too.

    Your wardrobe actually inspired me to try this (can't believe they're discontinuing your shirt. It's the end of an era!). I've been wearing the same thing almost everyday for about a year now, and I've noticed a lot of the same benefits: the simplicity, the effortlessness, the compliments when I wear ANYTHING different on a laundry day (even just a different colored shirt lol). It's been nice having such a simple wardrobe, but I actually think I'm gonna stop soon. I miss experimenting with clothes and having fun with outfits. I still want some simplicity so I'm gonna try choosing a color palette and then sticking with that so I have more variety but still maintain some simplicity.
