I wear my shirts and pants until they're dirty or smelly. I rotate though my clothes, naturally. But I have no problem wearing a pair of pants, then wearing same pair the next day. I used to get shit about it from the girls at school all the time. But hey, durable clothes are not cheap. And my washer/dryer are tough on my clothes. I don't come from a wealthy family, and buy all my own stuff. Clothes are precious. heh.
Maybe I'm the only one that notices this, but, plain shirts (t-shirts or long-sleeved shirts) sure are expensive in Canada. Most stores in my area are about $25-$30 each! Because of this, whenever I can afford to, I travel to the states to get shirts ranging from $6 - $18 each. Yay!
I guess you could say I take enough care during the day wearing my clothes to not worry about how dirty or damaged they are by the end of the day.
In the winter I switch through a couple pairs through the week. Only because I'm short and my pant-bottoms are soaked by the end of the day, and have a nasty salt line running along them. The curse of the short legged. Haha.
Now, underwear and socks, I change daily.
A lot of my new shirts need to be handwashed as do my bras, so waiting to build up enough for a load isn't a problem anymore.
Sort of a side-note here, but this weekend, I was watching a movie from the 50's starring Sandra Dee, and her character was rich and complaining about her beau seeing her wear the same coat twice... oy vey. I'll never understand.
