#2"and what you think presents your favorite view of yourself"
Isn't this a function with a whole bunch of variables like my mood, the occasion, the people I'm with, etc?

#3Funny to see what a female thinks of as "wearing the same thing every day". For most dudes I know, That's a lot of clothes to own.
I think I made it to age 30 without ever owning 3 pairs of pants at one time.

#4Not sure if the author is an HNer or not, but since she's into leggings I have to drop a link to Black Milk: http://blackmilkclothing.com/collections/leggings
My girlfriend has been absolutely in love with these, and I've been getting her damn near every new one they come out with, because they look great and (apparently) are a great fit and good materials.

#5Ivan Boesky, the famous investment banker/pawn for Michael Milken was rumored to have had many of the exact same suit so he didn't have to decide what to wear each day.

I recently helped a female friend move out of an old apartment, and I was absolutely astounded by how much clothing she had lying around. It surprised me because she came off as a stylish, but not terribly fashion-centered person. By my rough estimate, this list represented probably 1/5 of my friend's clothing.
Granted, a sample size of 1 is not terribly informative; however, my gut feeling is that a women's wardrobe will generally be considerably larger than a man's wardrobe.
On an unrelated note, I love hearing about life hacks like these. Reminds you of how much else there is left to optimize.

It sure seems like she spent a long time thinking about how not to think about what to wear. My dressing habits can fit in a tweet.

Yeah, I was hoping more for a "Steve Jobs" approach. [I am female]
And frankly it is a bit confusing. Would you really wear a band t-shirt and a hoodie to a funeral?
[edit following comment below: I see, so it's "I wear the same thing ever day" for different values of the word "same"? I am somehow underwhelmed. ]

#9By attempting to be 'unconstrained' from fashion, OP has become more constrained than ever. Is she saving time & money? Maybe...but that blog post and graphics sure took some time to put together.
And now that she's made this public, she's stuck. Want to wear something different, colorful, playful? Fuck it, gotta stick to the schedule.
Clothing isn't time consuming or energy draining. It's about finding a style you're comfortable with, wearing it with confidence, and gently moving in and out of new styles as the times (and your personality) change.

#10Joe Celko does this but his outfit is a three piece suit.
He told me that it is part of his 'personal brand' so he is easy to recognize and approach when at conferences and public in general.
I wonder how different people's approach to him would be if his signature outfit was a hoodie.
