And you style it very well. I say it's only a rut if you feel like you're rutted. I have no problem seeing others in repeat footwear, clothing, or anything for that matter, as long as it all looks clean I personally do NOT wear the same shoes two days in a row, especially in 60F+ weather because then I skip the socks and the shoes really do benefit from resting. I also have a lot of shoes/boots so uh picking just one for any outfit can sometimes be an issue. I don't think I often repeat the same shoes footwear in one week, but that's just what works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-835191 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:04:08 +0000 kellygirl 835191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Footwear repetition doesn't bother me a bit. During the summer, I tend to rotate sandals because my feel get kind of sweaty but I wear the same boots during the winter for several days in a row. I'm kind of lazy though and will just reach for the same pair of boots because they are already out. I feel like that with my general uniform, most of my footwear (clunky/chunky)is pretty interchangeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-835159 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:31:32 +0000 catgirl 835159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That' really it, Suz. With snow on the ground, I am stuck with skinnies or dresses and tights for work, and that means tall boots. I miss my booties, and I suppose I could do snow boots and stuff my pants into them. Hmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-835156 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:28:57 +0000 lyn* 835156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've worn both of my tall boot pairs down to the wood this year; they need to be repaired or fixed - I've never wanted to replace them though, because they were both so comfy! I think it's normal to love clothes this much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-835154 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:27:33 +0000 Suz 835154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is all very interesting. I'd heard we should rotate our footwear, but I never really took it seriously. In the past because I probably only HAD one pair of shoes or boots. Now, I have a few more....but I still tend to wear the same pair for weeks on end. For me, it's a lot about weather. If the weather is a certain kind of lousy, I am going to wear my tall Clark's weather proof boots...and that's it! Or maybe my tall Timberlands. </p> <p>I have more choice when when weather improves, and then I usually exercise it. But even then I will happily wear the same shoes for days at a time. </p> <p>As for clothes - - heck, if I didn't repeat outfits, I'd have nothing to wear! I repeat all the time. Items, outfits...you name it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-835067 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:24:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 835067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously if you are happy who cares? I think it's only a rut if you wish you were wearing something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834976 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:32:23 +0000 Sylvie 834976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Shannon has it right - how are we supposed to wear the heck out of our clothes if we can't repeat outfits?</p> <p>I don't think you're in a rut. We go through cycles where we are feeling the love for certain items and looks and then naturally transition to something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834960 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:23:38 +0000 catgirl 834960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess what's funny is that I spent the last two years experimenting with all kinds of random looks and have somehow come full circle to lots of black, print on the bottom half, and clunky boots! </p> <p>I never thought about letting shoes rest - that is a good point. My feet themselves don't seem to need a break from the Gidigios, but I guess the boots may need one. And my other boots need to play, but I have to plan around them, whereas the Gidigios work with EVERYTHING. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834956 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:19:33 +0000 Amy 834956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whatever makes you happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834952 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:16:40 +0000 rachylou 834952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As long as the excitement is still there...</p> <p>I'm really getting my money's worth out of the puffer I got at NAS last year, Zara trousers, bulky F21 sweaters, and these Walmart maternity pants no gravid woman could ever fit into (what is up with that?).</p> <p>I have to say, I haven't worn my Zella jacket very much. Yet. The right season/weather hasn't come along now that I think about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834932 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:05:12 +0000 jayne 834932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to wear the same shoes again and again. Some just fit perfectly and are THE STYLE! But sometime I try my best to rotate through my shoes...which helps me figure out why I don't wear them....and let's me get rid of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834842 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:10:21 +0000 texstyle 834842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often wear the same shoes/boots a few days in a row - but I even have two pair of the same workhorse sandal for summer because I feel like with no socks, the shoes def. need a break. I wear the same style jeans multiple times in a week for sure. My tops, jackets and other items get more of a rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834797 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:33:37 +0000 Diana 834797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally don't wear the same shoes multiple days in a row unless I am traveling because I think it is bad for the shoes and I know it is bad for my feet. Basically, they are so fussy that they don't like being forced into ANY shoes, no matter how comfortable, for multiple days. I switch pairs to spread the stress points around! But I don't mind seeing other people do it. I have many pairs of boots, but I know lots of people only have one or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834792 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:29:23 +0000 Mo 834792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it works for you, why not. I realized that I have a certain need for variety and my frequency of wear reflects that. I don't wear the same shoes very often unless we are talking work uniform. Even then, I like to mix it up a bit within the constraints of my options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834786 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:22:47 +0000 Raisin 834786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfits looks great, so it's more of a uniform than a rut. I personally don't like having too many options, it's gives me too much grief to decide, so I'd like to be at the point you are at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834780 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:16:58 +0000 MsMary 834780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go on footwear jags where I wear the same pair frequently, although I try not to wear the same pair two days in a row because I feel like it's bad for them. But I have no problem at all if anybody else repeats as often as she wants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834778 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:16:03 +0000 Jyoti 834778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guilty! I wear the same boots almost everyday. xD It's mostly a comfort + snow thing, but I'm going to try to switch it up once in a while because I have waaaay too many shoes to be doing this sort of thing. xD </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834728 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:41:28 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 834728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Variety is important to me personally, but I admire others who love an item so much that they make it work with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834723 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:39:26 +0000 Aziraphale 834723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Sherlock wears the same great coat and scarf in every episode, and we know how I feel about him. :-)</p> <p>I say wear the boots as much as you like. They are your signature piece -- well, that and your Theory jacket -- and I really like the idea of a person having a signature look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834720 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:35:34 +0000 deb 834720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get ruttish with my clothing but not with my shoes. I think it is because when I look down at my feet I like seeing something different. Humm, now I wonder what my work folks feel about my outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834711 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:30:55 +0000 kkards 834711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, footwear is my weakness, so i rarely wear the same pair 2 days in a week, let alone in a row. but, that being said, i will wear the same jeans all weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834710 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:29:34 +0000 TraceyLiz65 834710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it a rut or a comfort zone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834701 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:24:21 +0000 rae 834701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What transition said is true for me - plus I love my boot collection and enjoy displaying them. *However* I have been repeating a LOT. Camo pants several days in a row, blue jacket, sometimes just switching between the Gidigios and Rockports on and on for a week. I like it this way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834694 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:19:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 834694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this falls under Angie's category of "wear the heck out of your clothes"!</p> <p>I'm wearing my cobalt booties today which I also wore yesterday. I do agree with Transition though that normally, it's recommended to not wear the same footwear day after day, as our feet need a break. But does that still apply when the footwear is extremely comfortable? I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834691 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:16:57 +0000 transition 834691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always heard, and my feet agree, that it's best to at least have two pairs of shoes/boots and never wear the same pair two days in a row. That means I have two pairs of boots that I tend to alternate, with a third that comes out to play occasionally. I really do try to avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row, but have no problem wearing the same shoes three or four times per week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834681 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:07:34 +0000 Anonymous 834681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>please eee, I am wearing the same blazer I wore less than a week ago. I don't mind repeating stuff, that is why I would be the most unsuccessful blogger. I seldom repeat the same outfit, but I grab the same pieces again and again.</p> <p>As far as shoes, I try not to wear the same ones in a row, unless I'm traveling and I have no choice. I just have too many shoes and boots, they all need to come out and play! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834676 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:04:59 +0000 Anonymous 834676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a limited shoe wardrobe (although it has expanded this winter a lot!) I don't think there is anything wrong with wearing the same thing. I think it just then is part of your look. I need to figure out my summer shoes, because I am going to miss my boots a lot!</p> <p>I do try and change up my footwear just to give my shoes a chance to dry, but chances are I am going to be wearing one of three pairs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-rinse-repeat-in-a-rut#post-834670 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:02:34 +0000 catgirl 834670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As my closet has been shrinking i find myself using the same few favorite pieces over and over - Theory blazer, Equipment shirts or slouchy sweaters, Gidigio boots, skinnies. I could wear the boots every day because they are so versatile and have worn them probably 80% of this winter. </p> <p>Do you change up footwear from day to day? How do you feel about seeing someone in the same boots for weeks on end? </p>
