Staple outfit, what is yours?

I have realised that I have got the same type of staple outfit that I wear on most days. I do change, honestly, but I tend to wear the same type of thing each day. I did the same when I was a teen, student, first time mum, first job, first time divorcee, second time student, secong pregnancy......etc. It is not always the same look, but I do tend to stick to whatever I like at the time.
At the time I am wearing either:skinny jeans,ballet shoes/converse/fipflops,t-shirt/vest/tunic/and probably a cardi; or dress, flipflops/birkies, cardi.
Obviously I wear different clothes each day but I don't seem to change much from my comfort zone.
Does anyone else do this?
Or am I a saddo?
I possibly am actually, oh well.
If the rest of you do manage different types of outfits all the time, please tell me how you do it and what you wear. I have 3 small children and I just don't have the energy to try different looks all the time so tend to stick with the tried and tested, i.e. boring!

Same here. I really have no interest in clothes and find clothes shopping boring. I live in about three pairs of Jeans/combats and usually a black tee shirt. Dont possess a skirt or a dress. Having loads of clothes is just not important to me.

lol; I've just bought a shirt off ebay because I like my other one so much, that a friend gave me Same colour and everything. And the same jueans but a size smallr

Every day I wear kickflare jeans, a cami top, a short sleeved blouse with lots of little buttons, pointy heeled boots, a necklace and a bracelet. Apart from when I'm in my exercise gear (which is always black bottoms and black top!!)

Very very rarely I wear a skirt, or a diffrent top.
If its really cold I wear a cord jacket, or a leather 70s thing in winter.

That blouse sounds nice, Mustrunmore.

My staple work outfit is - puffy, just under knee length skirt (I have lots of these!), with a black scoop or square necked 3 quarter sleeve top (I have even more of these!) with Dr Martin MaryJanes if I have some free lessons and ballet flats if I'm teaching all day!

Standard weekend wear is bootcut jeans, top of some sort, fitted quirky-ish blazer, chunky necklace and wedges.

i am exactly the same. have found a shop near me that i love & bought 4 shirts which i alternate with 3 pairs of jeans and converse/birkies or ballet pumps. would love to be a bit more adventurous but just can't be bothered. when you find something that works and looks good, stick with it!
