Here is what I do.....I become a little "obsessed" with an article of clothing and then can't stop wearing it. I remember in high school planning out my wardrobe meticulously, you could never wear something twice in the same week, and never the EXACT same outfit in a two week period (although you could get away with a single piece worn in a different outfit.) Only exception was jeans. I spent so much time obsessing about how I looked and what I wore. Now I'm a huge advocate of school uniforms and hopefully my girls will be wearing them until they are 18. BUT ANYWAY.....now, I find a particular piece of clothing or an outfit and I fall in love and my problem has become that I wear it to death, way, way too much. I was just thinking about this as I started packing my bag tonight and I reached for the same things I've worn all week. Because I know no sense of self control I get sick of stuff fairly quickly (wearing it every other day will do that) and then have to pack it away for a couple of years, but if it is a good piece eventually I fall in love again it just takes a bit.
I realize I do the same thing with food, so it isn't a clothing exclusive. I had three English muffins today with butter and peanut butter.... THREE, it just sounded good all day long and it has been like that for weeks. A few months ago it was cheese sandwiches with avocados (they don't sound good anymore, I think I ate one too many). I could be a little crazy, there is probably a name for what I have :-). It is fun to love something though and get a little obsessed, even if it is short lived, much more fun than just "liking it a lot"! Signed, ME {lv}
