In yesterday’s post Sandra asked,
If you saw me once a week would you notice I always had on the same clothes?
I said,
I wouldn’t notice, or if I did I would think you’re sensible. Andy and I always wear the same kind of clothes. It saves a lot of time thinking about what we want to wear.
It reminds me of when we were shopping in Santa Fe shortly after we retired. A fellow saw Andy and said,
Andy Browman! I looked over and thought, “I know those clothes.” And I looked up and thought, “I know that face too.” How are you doing?
And a few months ago when Andy was in the grocery store a fellow said,
Andy Browman! You’re the only guy in town who wears short-sleeved white shirts.
We retired years ago and Andy didn’t remember who the fellow was, but the fellow remembered Andy and his distinctive style.

I’ve a couple of sets of clothes that reserve as going out clothes…
Some items somehow are all year round!
At home I’ve scruffy clothes, most which reveal paint or similar marks…
🙂
I have a huge grin on my face, welcome to my club. ha ha… no one ever sees bob in a shirt, he always has on sleeveless t-shirts or tank tops, he has 1 t-shirt with sleeves for cool days only. you have proved me right! people do notice what we wear and remember it. now I KNOW the WM lady knows i wear the same shirt every Saturday
🙂
Oh, that Pickles cracks me up! Even being retired, I have “going to Publix clothes” (v. WalMart) or those more suitable for doctors’ appointments. (Ya, like they’re going to judge patients on their attire? LOLOLOL)
I was telling Sandra how, on a visit to UAB, the NP said, “I remember you because you’re wearing the same lavender jogging suit.” Only then I realized I looked ready for an 80’s scene of Golden Girls.
🙂
I love that cartoon! Now I am wondering why no one there wears short sleeved white shirts…
🙂
Tee-shirts and jeans here. But now that Autumn has arrived, my cardigan sweaters are getting a lot of use!
🙂
For work I have several of the same pants and shirts. They were inexpensive and when I bought them we had a dress code of black pants and black shirt. People probably think I wear the same clothes day after day.
