Black pants... The staple of most wardrobes. I've got at least 3 pairs in different styles and weights so I am covered for all seasons.
I am rather tall so I usually have to have the pants taken down to their full length and a false hem put on the bottom.
This week one of my stand by pairs ( Teenflo, circa 2007) sprouted a rip in the front! These are my favourite pair as they are a classic boot cut that goes with everything. What am I going to do? I wear these at least once every two weeks. The only option, is to hope that they can be repaired well enough that I can still wear them to work. If not I will have to wear the Hugo Boss (circa 2008, purchased in Amsterdam) straight leg pair. Straight legs are going to limit the footwear options. Might have to pull out the Roger Vivier flats to wear with them... We'll see.
Don't feel bad for me, I've still got two pairs of Cambio pants in reserve that I haven't worn in about 3 years that I can use to fill in the gaps - just need to get them taken in a bit. A trip to the alterationist is in order ... I will make it through this year with no new clothes.
THE RULES
NO NEW CLOTHES FOR 2011!!!
I'd like to think that I have something that I can wear for any occasion. So the test is whether I can go a whole year without buying anything new.
See if I make it through 2011 without buying any new clothes. Will I stick to the rules? Follow this blog to get ideas for recycling what is in your wardrobe and to save money and vote on my 'recycled' outfits.
WHAT DO I MEAN BY CLOTHES?: work clothes, casual clothes, shores, bags, accessories (this includes sunglasses) , outerwear (COATS, HATS, MITS), UNDERWEAR (!!!).
The only thing I am excluding is sports clothing - it's important to be safe and feel good about yourself when you are exercising and so it is important to have the right shoes and clothing.
I wonder if this includes sport sunglasses? Mine are 13 year old blue Oakleys purchased on at trip to Edmonton, Alberta in 1998...
