How Many Times Do You Wear the Same Outfit?

Me in my most versatile black dress --

I wear it all the time

There was a time I hardly ever repeated an outfit. Sure, I had the same wardrobe, I just paired things together differently so there were always new looks.

Since I've been pregnant however, I feel like I wear the same thing every day. Or I want to wear the same thing every day...and that would be my pajamas.

I do get dressed to go out though, but I'm super bored with my limited choices. And I don't want to spend money on a bunch of new clothes.

What to do? What to do!

Here are my ideas...

Wear jewelry. A bold necklace can make an old black dress seem new.
Accessorize with scarves. Same idea as the necklace, but you can also wear the scarf as a belt.
Put on some bold color tights or leggings for an extra dash of color.
Change your hair or makeup look.
Layer! Shirts under or over -- add a cardigan -- wear dress with jeans or with leggings.
Steal ideas from this creative lady who is experimenting with wearing one dress for a whole year.

How many times a week do you wear the same outfit? How do you switch it up/keep it fresh?

When I'm working, I pretty much wear the same thing every day. I wear nice jeans, a sweater (I actually have about 8 of the same sweater, in different colors, they were on clearance and I love how they look on me lol) and a pair of ballet flats. I sub, so no one knows I normally where the same thing. I'm also not exactly fashionable, I've worn the same necklace for two years.
