Are you wearing anything uninteresting?

Speaking of 5-piece wardrobes and essentials... and considering that essentials are by definition not the most interesting part of an outfit... Well, I'm looking down and wondering... NOT that an essential has to be all the way UNinteresting...

I'm wearing my cream bell sleeve sweater, black faux leather trousers, stripe socks under, and black running shoes. I personally find each item interesting. Then again, I think things beyond the visual about them (i.e., over-intellectualize, hehe ).

I suppose it's the shoes that are the least attention grabbing... But I think I could achieve greater disinterest with, oh say, turquoise running shoes, because turquoise is more generic where I live (ok, well, in the greater region). Of course, turquoise would make a terrible glue for this outfit, which essentials are supposed to be...glue that is.

Ok, well, I guess what I want is for everyone to look down and tell me if they're wearing any item that's totally uninteresting.... Hehehe!

(Lol, make my eyes glaze over please )

I'm wearing a stripped long sleeve T in grey and cream, with faded black jeans chopped above the ankle (raw hem) and leopard print slip on sneaks. I'm wearing an ancient apron from the Strewn Winery Cooking School (DH and I took a weekend cooking class.). Everything is ++comfortable and I always feel good in them. Because I wear these items so often, novelty has worn off and i take them for granted.

However, in the wild, I will get comments on the sneaks or the jeans when part of an outfit. I don't wear the apron in the wild! LOL! I guess the T is uninteresting?

I am wearing a grey drab cardigan as I am working from home. It has no interesting features except it is long and it has holes.

While holes in your jeans are acceptable I don't think holes in your cardigan are....which is crazy really.

A plain black pencil skirt (I am at work, it's Monday here.) How much more glue-like can you get? But I am wearing an ombre top

Yes! Totally's totally uninteresting item was Bearpaw boots! Yes, I wear them when it gets cold outside, yes I love how warm and snuggly they are on my feet and how perfect they are for being outdoors with the pups. We took a drive down to Cooperstown NY today and I'd say about 75% of the women were wearing them. Very normcore around here from now until spring. As much as I'm not fond of the way they look, I love that "I'm going to my warm cabin on this cold snowy day" feeling.

Hanes gray ankle socks. Can you get more uninteresting than that?

Everything I'm wearing is uninteresting! Earlier today I wore my bright silver oxfords to church along with white BFs and a thrifted grey sweater with a spaniel knit in the lower hem, topped by my grey Aran poncho. I had to change because I spilled something on the pants. Naturally.

Now I'm wearing bootcut jeans, red striped tee, slippers, and a fleece lined Black Watch shirt. That might be interesting in a camping capsule, maybe.

Black and cream striped tee -- very standard. I'm actually quiet uninteresting in general at the moment. And......I'm OK with that......for the moment.

Tomorrow I will be Cuh-razy.

I can relate to Carla's comment

In my low turnover/ high repetition wardrobe, that happens to me too

I just put on a red/white/black checked flannel shirt because I'm getting cold which has made the outfit I've been wearing all day a bit maximal. I'm wearing a white polo shirt, pale aqua chinos, and I'm barefoot. I'm trying to finish a book before book club on Tuesday and am taking a short break.

My house is cold so I'm wearing a black zip up sweater hoodie from Target over the bootcut jeans, red print tunic, and black booties I wore out to dinner, and my hair's in a pony because I'm about to do meal prep for the week. Super glam here.

I wore boring blue skinny jeans and a boring black tee today, but they were the base for cool boots and a fur vest.

I'm wearing an undershirt tank from Ann Taylor, the R&B Miramar sweats, and Sketchers sneakers in turquoise and navy. I'm about to change for work though.

My entire outfit today was uninteresting. Hacked jeans but not in an interesting shape, icebreaker top, puffer in a hard to wear blue in a boring shape.

Highly uninteresting here, wearing black track pants and dark grey tshirt with the odd mix of bracelet and necklace that I just completed making.

Today, everything I had on was interesting. But that is often not the case. In fact, just yesterday I was thinking about how boring my fall long-sleeved t-shirts are and that I should find more interesting cuts to replace them. I wear them quite often since they are truly essentials and I need them to make my wardrobe work. But I wish they weren't so humdrum.

My most boring piece is a black silk tank worn under a black and tan vertical stripe cross-over blouse for warmth and modesty, so the tank is essential. Earlier today I wore the chocolate and black pencil skirt with this but changed that for boring black Ponte skinny pants at home.

Hmm... So far I'm hearing plain black, grey, white, then hoodies, tees, fleecy things (including boots) and... striped tees! I have to ponder the striped tee.

And Shedev... You mention the turquoise running shoe! Soul sister, lol

Black leggings.
I'm wearing them with a black and white lace-print sweatshirt dress and gray scarf, plus brown distressed suede lace-up booties. It's an outfit that I think has style, but it's also totally comfy.

Wait, does that mean it's sad that I find striped tshirts interesting?

My basic jeans and solid colored basic turtleneck. What saves the look is that my Sneakers aren't too basic but suede and that I'm wearing my lovely scarf - plus a fab backpack and my nice wool coat as outerwear.

Not sure if my new watch counts as uninteresting - I personally don't think so! I bought it on Saturday when I was looking for a cheap watch which was easy to read. I think I also had one of these in primary school, I hadn't known they were still available...

(I'm on a train right now.)

You outfit seems interesting to me! I am very "essential" today. Beige pullover, black jeans and blue ballet flats. Generally I do not wear black and blue together, despite what good old Giorgio says, but these cheap ballet flats turned out to be sooooooo comfortable that I am wearing them with everything!

I have on polka dot flannel pjs and a olive green fleece jacket. I am drinking coffee and slowly waking up. Is that an interesting outfit? No one to ask. Sophie and DH are still asleep.

I misread the question. Am I wearing anything uninteresting? I don't really know. Some might think my entire wardrobe is uninteresting. It certainly is minimalist, but I like it that way.
