Six or seven times an outfit is not nothing! It may not sound like a lot on the face of it, but if you think of it -- if a "season" is about three months long, then it averages to about once every two weeks. Maybe it's not "wearing the heck out of the clothes" but it's hardly making closet orphans.

I concur with Suz!
Caro has some really good advice to have at least two different types of tops for each bottom.
I love Carter's capsule, that is super impressive.
I have a feeling this is going to work really well for you Susie!

Great project Susie, can't wait to see your results. I think I need to do this, it would save me a lot of time starting at my closet. I do like to tweak outfits to perfection and then repeat the best version, rather than trying to remix all the time. Great idea to take the pictures of the outfits. Or you could just use your WIWs instead. Carter's pic is impressive!

Cynthia (of the blog Be Fabulous Daily) did something like this in May that I really enjoyed following along with. You might like to take a peek. I think it can definitely work for you, and it seems to make so much sense! I look forward to your future posts.
