I see no reason to limit how often, so long as it’s clean, then go for it I say. judy on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2315272 Sun, 26 Mar 2023 18:10:05 +0000 judy 2315272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wasn't there some experiment done a few years ago where a woman wore the same dress to work every day and she found out no one cared at all?  Let's be curious about where the idea comes from that we all must have a new and different outfit everyday.  And isn't it actually a very new idea in the history of clothes?  And isn't it lead by advertising and consumerist culture?  Also, the idea that one can only wear something x many times a week  (or it's too much) seems like one of those old useless fashion ideas of yesteryear...like "no white after labor day" kind of thing...so arbitrary, so abstract.  Let's be radical and normalize wearing the same thing often...if we want to, I mean.  If you get bored, well, that's another matter.   Debbie on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2315228 Sun, 26 Mar 2023 03:39:25 +0000 Debbie 2315228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am in the wear as often as you want camp. It can be worn so many ways that it will look different enough. I love the dress!

I can see there are lots of ways to style this - great choice! I tend not to repeat for work in the same week- I wear the same shoes or blazer or pants - but not the same outfit. But the guys I work with repeat all the time!! These three dresses I wear for work - i might wear them three weeks in a row then not fit a week then wear them again.

Like Irina, I let me clothes air out after each wear, but by hanging them on the back of my door. If they aren't dirty enough for a wash, I then mix & match them with other new pieces to create another outfit on the hanger. May be something to consider when it comes to workshopping your dress into new looks before laundry day Jasmine Park on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2314982 Fri, 24 Mar 2023 08:20:40 +0000 Jasmine Park 2314982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In my case, I select 3 sets a week and wear them every 3 days rachylou on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2314107 Sat, 18 Mar 2023 22:04:05 +0000 rachylou 2314107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I’d probably be an every two week person, but once a week would not be too often imo ANewMindset on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313967 Sat, 18 Mar 2023 11:17:58 +0000 ANewMindset 2313967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks everyone!!

Maybe once a week, maybe twice if you're seeing different people. You may think others notice, but You don't want to get tired of it too quickly!

At the weekend I happily repeat any time. It’s a lovely dress! judy on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313880 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 18:28:49 +0000 judy 2313880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd wear that every day!  Love it!  Let others deal with it if it's a problem for them to see you in the same outfit.  Wear what you want.   Paula B on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313873 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 16:53:46 +0000 Paula B 2313873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your dress looks super hun!!!

To work, I'd wear it every week. For other things, whenever I wanted. Yes, it's memorable. I don't see that as a problem that would keep you from wearing it all the time. Angie on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313854 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:55:38 +0000 Angie 2313854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful dress! Find below. For work perhaps every week, and if styled differently now and then - that's a fun change! Casually and not for work - as often as you like Irina on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313852 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:10:16 +0000 Irina 2313852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice dress! In the places where I see the same people every day (in the past), like an office I would wear something like it once in two weeks. In my off duty life, I prefer not to wear a same garment on two consecutive days, I like to air out my clothes & shoes between use but would feel perfectly fine to wear it a few times a week.  cat2 on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313851 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:04:30 +0000 cat2 2313851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For work, if your wardrobe permits I would go with every other week, and styled differently as advised by Helena. For casual, who cares?

I have a high tolerance for repeating and a modest sized closet. Nice addition for your closet, and looks like an easy piece to wear. Star (Lise) on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313847 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 14:53:14 +0000 Star (Lise) 2313847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful denim dress.  I would wear it weekly or even twice a week if it makes you happy.  You can change the accessories each time to make it look so different as it is a great canvas.  I am envious, it reminds me of my first denim dress in 1978 that I have never been able to duplicate.  If it were not for crazy shipping costs to where I live I would copy cat you immediately.  You can also wear it across seasons, pop a turtleneck underneath or a long sleeve T.   FWIW I think of a denim dress as casual, try and frame it in your mind as casual as a pair of jeans and even wear it at home.  It should only get better with wear like a good pair of jeans does. ETA:  Great idea from Carla to wear it as a duster too.   Helena on "How often is too often to wear my new dress?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-often-is-too-often-to-wear-my-new-dress#post-2313845 Fri, 17 Mar 2023 14:44:48 +0000 Helena 2313845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not one that has any issue with repeating items ... to me, if it's clean, it's fair game to wear! With my at-home lifestyle, I wear my faves multiple times a week easily. That said, when I used to work downtown, I would generally not repeat an outfit more than once per week - maybe two if it was really memorable. I know there are people who feel even that is too much, but that's my opinion! Beautiful dress!!

I was suprised that it looks good! I am always pretty casual, i dont really have anyplace to wear it! I am thinking i could wear it this spring with espadrilles. All that said, how often is too often to wear it? I feel like the dress is memorable. Just curious what others think about this.
