Clothing Multiples...
 

Guilty,

I really hate doing laundry, especially since I have a three flight spiral staircase of death between me and my machines. I don't want to do that drill anymore often than needed.

My justification? I troll great thrift shops; so, I'm really just contributing to the recycling movement, right?

:balloon:

I do not have clothing multiples but I do have shoe multiples...

I have two sets of 4" high sandals that are identical-except one is black & the other brown. And I have a black pair that is very similiar to those two sets.

I have three sets of 2" high sandals that are identical-except one is black, one is red and the other is navy.

I have two sets of 5" heels that are identical-except one is black & the other is brown.

I have two sets of 5" heels that are *almost* identical except that one has a leather piece going up the top of the foot and the other has woven material not leather.

I have three sets of clear shoes-same height (3") but the piece arcoss the top varies (one has silver accents, another has glitter and one is plain). I used these for costumes so they were altered in some way when I actually wore them.

It sounds horrible I know. But I buy shoes on clearance when the season ends and store them until the next year. The three identical (except color) pairs were 75% off and cost me about $5 each so I did not feel as guilty for choosing a variety.

:sparklyheart:

No idea-I am too ashamed to count them ;)

I love heels, love the way I look in them so I indulge in them. And, a size 7.5 is a perfect fit almost everytime so I can get them online. But, I am not a clothes horse so it kind of balances. And, I love to thrift store for clothes (not shoes) so save lots of money that way.

:sparklyheart:

I find myself buying the same type of thing I have in the closet but I also buy small-medium-large depending on the weight going up or down hahaha
This also helps during the PMS time :)

If I like an article of clothing, I often buy it in several colors, then only actually wear the back version.

I have several of the same black tops, dresses, pants.

This morning's finds from the thrift store:

3 x trousers

4 x ties

pullover shirt

ski sweater

windbreaker

All of which I need like a hole in the head

Grand total $30

How could I not? :|

I do this with socks. I buy only black socks. And when I find a type I love, I buy only them.

Perhaps this even afflicts butches. :/

I have 5 pairs of the same style of khakis from Old Navy in five different colors. Hot Potato being my favorite. I wear khakis for work every day, and these are versatile for polos, sweaters, regular shirts. Also can be worn on the weekends with just a tshirt. And I like they way they fit...or used to fit. They are all a bit baggy on me now.

I have 2 pairs of doc martens one brown one black. A pair of wranglers in every color.
5 hoodies all bought during spring clearances. Otherwise it's pretty grab bag around here.

I live in sundresses, if I find one I like a whole lot I buy it in every color and pattern available

I have five of the exact same black t-shirt from Old Navy. What can I say, v-necks are flattering.

And I have probably ten blue dresses. :/ I have a blue dress problem.

I bought 3 of the same sundresses - each was a diff cloth and pattern, but each was the same style...They looked nice and were on sale.

I have several pairs of the same shorts in several colors

Same thing for tops, I buy them in several colors

if something works for me and they come in diff colors, I'll buy them..
