Wow! It’s Wednesday! After the Pink T-shirt
So with my summer challenge of wearing my pink 32 CANDLES shirt exclusively (except to book events) less than a couple of weeks from being over, I’ve been wondering about my wardrobe after the pink T-shirt. Three months of wearing the same thing gives you a lot of time to think about wardrobe in general. For a while there, I was vowing to only wear dull colors like black, beige, and maybe forest green when I got done with this challenge. Then I thought about going back to my usual button-up and sweater vest style in the fall. But something’s changed in me forever, I don’t think I could go back to that style, because get this … it’s too complicated.
One thing that only switching out my bottoms has taught me is that I really — and I mean really don’t need that many clothes. At first I was consumed, thinking about all the clothes I might buy after the T-shirt challenge, but as it wore on* I began wondering whether I could pare my non-event wardrobe down to 14 items: 7 tops — one of which would be my 32 CANDLES T-shirt (which let’s face it, is perfect for days when I don’t have much to do outside the house) and 7 bottoms. I want all of these tops and bottoms to match. I want them all to be items that travel well and look good in whatever iteration I choose to wear them.
So after a summer of wearing mostly one thing, I now want my new wardrobe to be as simple as it can possibly be without me having to wear the same thing every day. Is that even possible?
Anyway, here’s what I’ve got so far. Please weigh in with suggestions for other simple staples. Also, let me know if you think you could operate with a 14-item wardrobe.

I totally think I could do 14 items. It would so make my mornings easiers. I think I would add – black dress pants, an oxford shirt in white. I don't know what else I would throw in. You're going to have me looking in my closet with a bag ready for donations.
I vowed never to wear dress pants again after quitting my last office job, but if I could find a funky pair, then maybe. I also don't wear white, b/c I'm clumsy and I've learned the hard way that this color is not for the likes of me. Wow, this is really helping to narrow the list down…

3 wrap dresses, one pair of black pants, one pair of brown pants, one pair of gray pants, one white blouse, one pair of black walking shorts, one pair of khaki walking shorts (meaning knee length) 5 tops-in any of your favorite colors/styles. Unlimited accessories and shoes I don't know how many items that is, but I think you could go anywhere with those items. :)

I actually have a Strokes T-shirt lying around … somewhere. But I kind of don't want to add any more t-shirts to the list or you know be any more self-referential than I've already managed to be all summer.
