I like the Steve Jobs/Dean Kamen philosophy; I pretty much wear the same thing every day. For summer, I bought a 6 pack of white undershirts from Costco. For winter, I bought a stack of long sleeved shirts from Old Navy on the clearance rack. My style is no style!

While I work from home now, I did this even when I had to go into a job. At some point, I found out that my co-workers thought I was wearing the exact same thing every day. They still thought I was a bit nuts when I told them I just have copies.

I really should do a purge of my wardrobe, there’s stuff just sitting there I never wear.

Thanks to my jobs (dairy farmer and plumber) I spend the majority of my day in work clothes. Due to the nature of these jobs I just let them get good and ratty before they get hacked up in to rags. For “going out” I’m typically a jeans/t-shirt kind of guy. Nothing too fancy for me.

Snagged this guy at a thrift store last year.

Nearly passed on it until I saw something lurking in the shadows, at which point it became a required purchase. ;)

I agree with quality over quantity. I’m trying to switch my wardrobe in that direction and it really makes a difference. Also have to agree about the lulu lemon stuff, it lasts forever and is so comfy. And they have men’s clothes too! My sis works there and can only buy me stuff once a year with her discount.

Hahhaha… that is HILARIOUS! I’d totally read a blog about Goodwill Hunting :) If only she was 10 years older…

Oh man! That’s classic. Typical mom. Nothing less cool than parents’ puns or pointing out that their irony really isn’t that cool.

On a side note, concert t-shirts are generally a good buy! There were only so many and when you get a hole in your favorite one, you want a replacement!

The old rock band ones go for CRAZY amounts. This Iron Maiden one from 1984 has a hole and a stain and it still went for $700 bucks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IRON-MAIDEN-Concert-T-Shirt-Tour-Shirt-1984-Md-Camo-Tan-Aces-High-Metal-/380397925894?pt=Vintage_Unisex_T_Shirts&hash=item58917bb606

Always keep an eye out and you could easily flip it quickly! I generally look through the black t-shirts on the rack since it seems like most concert t-shirts are black.

In reply to Jessica O.. PS: For the record, she doesn't really like Reba. She was being ironic. ;)

In reply to J. Money. Decided to keep my favorite shirt. However, my 14 year old stepdaughter bought a Reba McIntyre (sp?) shirt on our last Goodwill shopping trip. I googled it for fun. She bought it for $2 and it's selling for $25! I told her we should start flipping Goodwill shirts and start a blog. We could call it Goodwill Hunting. (Ba dum dum!) she hasn't responded to my Facebook message. I'm guessing that's soooo not cool to her. Haha
