It’s time for installment 5 of “what shirts have I worn this summer?” What will this installment bring? Well, before the big reveal, here’s a reminder of where installments 1-4 live.
Installment 1
Installment 2
Installment 3
Installment 4
And now…
days 48 and 49: asymmetrical gray sleeveless; black very short/cap sleeve with neck detail
Unfortunately, some of the detailing on both shirts isn’t easy to see…
days 50 and 51: blue and red short-sleeved; black and white tank with ribbon straps/scarf
I love both these color combinations.
days 52 and 53: asymmetric black tank with beaded rose detail; button-down sleeveless with blue and yellow paisley pattern
I’ve had the black tank for years and years…it is one of my favorites..the black and red…the rose, the asymmetry and the ruching (hard to see, but there’s a vertical line running down from the rose…)
days 54 and 55: red and white short sleeved shirt; turquoise short sleeved with neckline detail
First, day 54 is the shirt I’m wearing on my profile picture. Second, these are shirts I wore in San Diego, so these were worn again (remember, I said no rewears except for travel….).
day 56: black and white sleeveless with asymmetrical detail at neck
Heh…I took this one as the shirt was drying (lay flat to dry, sigh) in our laundry room).
days 57 and 60: short-sleeved purple top; floral sleeveless button-down top
So, I wore 57 in San Diego, then I wore 54 and 55 again. 60 is the shirt I wore after I got home. 60 is also a shirt I bought on sale at Talbot’s a few weeks ago….so much for trying not to buy new clothes!
So, with the exception of the San Diego rewears, this means I’ve gone two months straight without repeating a top. I can tell you at this point, that I’m still not rewearing, but feel the fact that I have fewer choices and think it won’t be long before I dive back in to the worn before.
What are your packing for travel preferences? I try to do a combination of rewearing different tops with different bottoms so they look like “different” outfits.
it’s just too fun that you have reached day #60, zo. so you figure you can get to 75-80??
i really like day #51 – it’s got a nautical look to it that is super cute. i agree with you: black is timeless. you can have a black something in your wardrobe that is 20 years old, and no one will ever know.
my travel is all for vacation, so i pack tshirts, shorts and then mix n match. but i usually end up wearing the same couple of items, anyway!
I think I’m already at 75-80 since I’m two weeks ahead of the clothes I’m showing and still not rewearing!
I’m amazed, although I’m wearing things that I haven’t worn in ages. If I were not doing this, I’d have reworn things. But I’m enjoying what I’m wearing, too, not wearing things I don’t like.
I am still amazed that you have that many shirts, wow! And such cute ones. I would have loved to have been your roommate in college!
Ha! Funny. I just thought “must be the difference between having sisters (like you) and a brother (like me). I’ve never shared clothes (but I bet you did..)
Thanks for the top compliments. I do love that most of them aren’t just functional…I really enjoy them.
I did that when I went on tour. Except for one dress, I’ve never worn the same outfit twice, and they all fit into one small suitcase.
