Whenever I think of outfit repeating, I think of two things. One, Lizzie McGuire, and two, Massie Block.
The fact that this is now the second Massie Block reference on this blog is pretty incredible, and I sincerely apologize if you’ve never seen/read The Clique, because boy are you missing out.
I think of Massie because I truly believe she shaped me as a person, in more ways than just one. The main way she shaped me was during The Clique movie, where she took a polaroid of every outfit she wore each day so that she would never repeat.
This truly set the sentiment in my mind that you can only wear outfits once.
Ignore every aspect of sustainability in this because I understand that Massie’s model of living is the antithesis of sustainability. Outfit repeating is in fact what we should all be doing, however that’s obvious.
I wear the same handful of items during the week like it’s my job. My notorious navy crewneck shows face at both of my classes once a week, not to mention when I get home, when I sleep, and multiple times on the weekend.
The best hack that my roommates have ever taught me was buying New Day tank tops from target and cutting them to the length I want, getting the perfect Brandy Melville-esque shirt for only $8. I have every color they’ve ever made, but I still only wear the black, white, and grey ones as often as my navy crewneck (often together).
As mentioned in April favorites, I’m also currently obsessed with Aerie tennis skirts. These get equivalent, if not more wear than my usual suspects, due to the fact that I live in a swamp (literally) and it’s nearly 100 degrees each day past May 1st. Dress em’ up, dress em’ down, you get it.
Selfishly, I want everyone to outfit repeat so that I don’t feel self conscious doing so. I want to be able to wear the same sweatshirt over and over and over again (within hygienic reason) without having the panic that people are realizing (which is most definitely narcissistic to think anyone would notice). I want to wear the same jeans that make me feel great every weekend.
I promise that I shower, I promise that I wash my clothes, and TMI, I even change my underwear and socks 2-3 times a day if I work out or shower.
My soapbox this week is that the most stylish, fashionable people wear the same things multiple times a week. So, if you want to take style advice from me, here it is:
