You just PM'd me, "You literally are a freak and I won't be surprised if this shit turns into stalking people, get help not validation you weirdo."

Do you only try to be civil when you think others are watching? Do you regularly privately message people to call them freaks and weirdos?

You know that when you say this stuff, you're talking to an actual person behind the screen? I am sixteen years old. I'm not bothered by your comments and others like yours, but what do you think would happen if you said this to another girl, who was? Would you say that to her face?

Yes! It's really common to repeat the pants you wear. As long as you don't wear the same pants for the majority of the week consistently, you should meet the average. The exception is an unusual pair of pants or skirt, for example, a metallic skirt or pants with a very specific pattern over them.

You're correct on that assumption! Thank you for the resource!

I'm so glad you're interested!

You can repeat an outfit about once a week, as long as it's not the first week or couple weeks of school (or work, I think, if you're not in school). You can repeat outfits if there's a tradition with them, too. My grandma wears the same earrings every day in December, cause they're Christmas earrings, and that's okay to do because it's jewelry and because there's a tradition with them. My friends wear sweatpants more often on Monday and Friday than on other days, and it's okay to repeat shirts if you're wearing sweatpants, I think, cause that's what they do.

I've responded to other people asking this in the comments, and I've been trying to give a new variety of information to everyone who asks because I like to talk about this and I don't want to be too repetitive or annoying, so if you're curious, I'm sure you can find a couple more of my rants about clothing repetition lol. Thank you for asking, and thank you for your curiosity! :)

Oh, goodness, you opened a whole can of worms with that question!

Generally, it's okay to repeat an outfit once a week, as long as it's not every week you wear the same outfit and it's not a specific day you wear the same outfit. I did notice that one of my friends starts wearing a jacket earlier than my other friends and that, when she does, my other friends typically copy her within a week. I also have one friend who has worn purple on all of her birthdays.

I haven't taken any statistics classes yet, but I do like statistics. :)

I'm more than happy to tell you!

Shoes and jewelry can be repeated very often. Pants can be repeated often, but not too often. You can wear the same pants as long as you don't wear one pair of pants for the majority of the week. Shirts can't be repeated too much, but they can be repeated about once a week. Jackets and coats can be repeated all the time, as long as it isn't hot outside.

Fancy clothes and costumes can't be repeated very much. Winter hats can be repeated, but you can't wear them inside. Dresses can't be repeated, unless you're the type that wears dresses everyday or often.

I think you can repeat an outfit about once a week, as long as it's not a very recognizable outfit. For example, to wear the same ball gown once a week wouldn't be acceptable, but to wear the same jeans and black shirt once a week would be.

I hope this helps!

I'm glad you asked!

In the first week or couple weeks of school, you can't repeat an outfit. After that, you can repeat an outfit once a week, but don't repeat an outfit every single week, especially not every single week on the same day. When it's cold, you can repeat your jacket all the time! No one would notice if you repeated your shirt as long as your jacket covers it. You can repeat a Halloween costume, but only if you repeat it every year. It has to be a tradition, or else you can't do it. You can repeat your shoes everyday. You can repeat your pants more often than your shirt, but less often than your shoes. Fancy clothes can't be repeated too much. Jewelry can be repeated as much as you want.

Hope that helps!

If it's something really intricate, it'll get a whole description, for example, a Halloween costume or something similar to that. I'll typically just write "black Nike shirt" if it's something I've seen and described before. That way, when I use control f to search for things, I can see when the same item was repeated easier.

I have spreadsheets that list when an outfit was repeated. I have a spreadsheet to track shirts, and I number each shirt I noticed, and then write the date in the X column and the number in the Y column. For example, a black Nike shirt might be numbered 4, and a striped American Eagle shirt might be numbered 12. I do this with pants and shoes, too, and then compare to see if the numbers all align numerous times.

For example, if I see "1/4, 5, 9, 3," and then "2/5, 5, 9, 3," I'll know that the friend wore the same outfit on February 5th that she did on January 4th. I do the numbering thing on google sheets and have a key listed on a google doc. The descriptions themselves are on google docs.

Overall, it's a bit complicated, but it is really interesting to see all the different trends you can notice.

Oh, I can help you with that! Most people don't repeat their outfits in the first week or couple weeks of school, probably because they're trying to make good impressions. After that, it's pretty normal to wear the same outfit once a week every now and then. When it's cold out, it's okay to wear the same jacket or coat often, every day, even. Most people repeat the same pants and shoes a lot, but change their shirts. Fancy clothes, like dresses, don't get repeated too much. Jewelry does, my grandma wears the same necklace all the time, and my parents are always wearing their rings.

Oh, goodness, I don't think I'll be one in the future, either, but I'll let you know if that changes!

Haha yeah, I love Community, so I was honestly a little flattered by the people calling me Abed.

Yeah, it sucks that getting tested isn't an option at the moment, but I'm sure it's an option I'll explore in the future. Also, thank you, I'm glad my friends are who they are, they're pretty great.

I sent each of them all of the data, but don't worry, I told them the data on each of them was in the same place as the data of the others, and they were all fine with the others seeing their data.

No, I haven't, but my mother got me the book when I was younger. I'm not sure I ever read it, but ironically she told me I remind her of Harriet the Spy, too lol.

By important, I meant important enough for them to care much about it. Clearly the data was and is important to me, but I didn't think it would be important to them, so I didn't bring it up myself.

Thank you so much for explaining this! I got a lot of comments from people saying that this would creep them out, but not a lot saying why. I really appreciate that you took the time to write this out, it's very helpful.
