I Wore the Same Dress to Work All Week…and the World Didn’t End
I don’t even think anyone noticed! Maybe the girls I share an office with *noticed,* but they’re both too nice to say anything 🙂  But I do think the point is that maybe we don’t need as many clothes as we think we do – unless you wear really striking or outrageous things, most people don’t even really notice.
I wore the invisible black dress (MAN am I getting my money’s worth of that thing!!!) all week to work (granted it was a 4-day work week due to Labor Day Monday, but I wore the dress Monday, too – I just don’t have a picture), just accessorized differently every day. So the OUTFIT looked different even though the base was the same. And I did wash it in the sink Wednesday night…not that I’m rolling around in the dirt at work (usually), but I do spill food on myself a lot (I call my boobs “food catchers,” cuz that’s where stuff ends up).
And WHY did I do this, really? After a week’s vacation, one of the most annoying things to think about when returning to work is “WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR???” And I just thought it would be so lovely to wear my favorite, most comfortable, easiest to accessorize dress every day, so I thought I’d do this little experiment and see if anyone noticed, said anything, whatever. And it was a success!
Tuesday I wore the dress sleeveless with black floral sandals.
Wednesday I wore a thrifted flax linen shirt over top.
Thursday was Kimono #1 with a druzy pendant necklace from Charming Charlie.
And Friday was Kimono #2 and flats
So, the next time you’re in a quandary about what to wear and you’re tempted to wear an item from the day before…trust me, no one’s going to notice. Or care.
Now I’ve got to get ready to go to a fundraiser tonight…AND FIGURE OUT WHAT I’M GOING TO WEAR!!!

I have a black plain dress that I call my funeral dress. (At my age they happen often). I have worn it other times. Dressing it up with a scarf etc.

Ooh, let’s call it something better than your funeral dress! Can’t we call it your little black dress? That’s so much less depressing.

Love it!!!

What a great experiment! I call my boobs my “shelf” since they do catch food and whatever else. You didn’t get tired of wearing the same outfit? Or were you just on automatic since returning from vacation?

Didn’t get tired of the wearing the dress because it’s so easy and comfortable…and changing out what I wore over it made it feel like a different outfit every day even though the base was the same. But yeah, *also* on automatic since returning from vacation 🙂
