The Mega Wardrobe Post

I’ve been wanting to write about more things in my wardrobe but it took me a while to get everything compiled. Still have a lot more stats I could explore but here are some highlights. Enjoy!
1) I seem to have a wardrobe consisting mostly of blue, black, gray, and white items. They make up a whole 75% of my clothes! I do like those colors and they are basic colors so I guess that’s a good thing? Or maybe that just makes me boring…
2) I have a lot of old stuff… Only about a quarter of my wardrobe was bought within the last 5 years. A little less than half is over 10 years old. There are also a few really old items—mostly swiped from family members. Maybe I should do another post on how my clothes have managed to stick around so long. Note: I tried my best to figure out how old the clothes were but some of them are so old that I really had to guess the ages and could only narrow down whether they were bought before a certain year (for example: if I found a photo of me from a certain year wearing that item then I know it’s at least as old as the photo). Thus, if its says ‘2009 bf’, it was bought in 2009 or before then.
3) Lastly, if I trend the purchases by year and function, I can see that it lines up pretty well with things happening in my life. It’s no surprise that my purchases of work-related clothes goes up around the time I started working full-time. It’s also no surprise that I’ve ramped up my travel wardrobe in the last few years though it feels a little overboard too. There’s also weird spike around 2009 in several of the categories. That could be around when I went back to school but could also be due to the fact that I did a wardrobe project back in 2009 to document my work wardrobe at the time so I have a better record than for other years.
