Rachylou - dog walking seems to have it's own special requirements. I only have cats. They seem to wear the same thing every day LOL.
Staysfit - you have large capsules for your most frequent activities and small ones for the rarer ones which makes total sense. I also repeat special occasion wear or casual entertaining wear (I don't formally track either).
Sterling - exactly!! Wearing what you love often.
Diane - thanks:)
Ivy - I don't track formally (I have on paper for the odd month). I tend to rely on memory for evenings out. In this case we were going to a fairly upmarket restaurant so I saw it as a chance to put on some "glad rags". And I consider my wardrobe fairly small/tight. The black dress I love, I think I have worn four-five times this winter (it is appropriate for work/dining out and could even be worn casually). It is funny how little you can wear some pieces even if they are your favourites!! I imagine I cn wear this dress until October so it will get plenty more wear but I doubt I will get to 20 wears.
Suz thanks
Runcarla - I know! I can have Sunday casual favourites that I thrash and thrash too. And I have plenty of active/sports gear but I do have my favourites that get worn the most often. I will wear the same thing to the gym two sessions in a row often because I am just about to put it back in the drawer as I am setting up my gear for the next morning 5.45am start.
Jenn- I think I mix and match more in winter and less so in summer. My dresses get worn frequently so there is a lot of repeating. In winter everything goes with jeans and black pants doesn't it?
Aziraphale - haha, I do that too. You will have to hunt out a photo to check out what you actually wore.
Barbara Diane - memorable dresses are my absolute favourite, but you have to adore them!! Then you will seize any chance to rewear them.
Fathenry - that is a good idea, a small capsule and wear wear wear. I sort of do this - when I have a new piece that I really like I do wear it as often as I can.
Rabbit - yes, with your work clothes being a uniform/protective cover I imagine you also seize your chances to have fun with the pieces that you love.
Olen - I know what you mean about jeans or black/white/navy items being easier to remix. I am probably similar. I do have some bold pieces that I don't wear as often but I keep for several years so they get a lot of wear but over 5-6 years whereas the neutrals often get worn out after 2-3 years.
BC- thanks:)
Isabel - what an interesting tale. Some of the smartest dressed women have very small wardrobes and simple tastes. I think it is moving beyond fashion into being stylish. Just looking great rather than worrying if it is current - just wearing pieces for all occasions. I want to be more like this.
Goldenpig - yes I know what you mean. Sometimes you just want to wear the best version that you have rather than remix, and with your closet that makes sense.
Thanks all for your comments
