The Challenge

Photos by Salt Water New England. D3.
I have given myself a challenge.  Can I actually wear everything I own?

Here are my rules:

  • When going out, I have to wear every (seasonally appropriate) item I own once before I can wear any again in each category - shirts, sweaters, trousers, outerwear, etc..
  • This includes pocketbooks/totes, boots/shoes, scarves, hats, and gloves.
  • Once I have worn everything in a given category, I can start again, until I exhaust most categories.
  • When I have duplicates, they count as different items.
I will be sharing photos as I go.

Some of the items shown here:

  1. This could be a helpful guide to clothing you might want to give away, if you run into things you just don’t feel like wearing in sequence. I would have difficulty with sweaters, particularly the heavier-weight wools, because it doesn’t often get cold enough to wear them.

  2. I’ve done the same thing for years. I call it “the rotatio”. My wardrobe is not a robust as yours, Muffy, but it helps wear clothing and accessories evenly. It also ensures I’m not seen in public wearing the same favorite garment too much.

  3. I love this idea, Muffy, and can't wait to follow along!

  4. This is a tough challenge for someone who has a large wardrobe. Presumably, you will not be buying/receiving more clothes, footwear or accessories until it is completed. :)

  5. So I understand, if you have one foul weather jacket, you can wear on repeat, but if you have 40 sweaters, you have to wear 1-40, before you can wear #3 again? I like it!
