It's tedious to have to drag everything out and hang it, and take it down once it starts to pour rain, and then hang it up again to let it finish, and then take it down again. So, we try to keep things simple. My daughter's summer wardrobe is 4 shirts and 3 pairs of shorts. My son's is more because he's much messier and I'm down to 3 skirts and 3 shirts (I could actually use some more). Unfortunately, my husband prefers more clothes, but he does go to a professional (low-paying though, don't hate) job where he works under florescent lights, so it's understandable.

I did something similar last winter and it was a blast, being able to wear clothes that I had all but forgotten and buying new clothes as well.. Really like how you've suggested not buying plain t-shirts. Completely agree with that! Love this post..

I can identify with Bobbi Brown's search for the perfect pair of black pants...alas, I just bought another new pair 10 days ago, and unfortunately, no, they are not the perfect pair. The only upside is that I give them to charity when they are still close to new, thereby hopefully helping someone else :) .-= angelvalerie´s last blog post ..<a href="http://livingdeliberately.wordpress.com/2010/06/09/controlling-the-world/" rel="nofollow">controlling the world…</a> =-.

What online sites and stores do you and others recommend for clothes at good prices. I too am a solid color, conservative dresser. I prefer to shop online because I hate going to the store and trying on clothes. Hi,
