I'm actually selling more than buying since I have lost some weight, but I have bought some of the same styles in an XL instead of XXL/2XL on Amazon/eBay/Mercari/Poshmark, as well as some new Spring/Summer 2022 styles. Haven't bought a lot of Fall/Winter lately.

These little holes used to drive me crazy. A friend told me they are caused by friction from the button area of your pants. I went to Amazon and bought a Jelt brand belt and now wear that all the time with my shirt untucked. Haven't had a hole since! I think these holes started happening around the same time everything because Made in China junk.

Weird. I've never had that experience. Some of my favorite t-shirts are as old as 20 years - and I still wear them, no holes. Must be something about the the fabric. The suggestion above about the rubbing, is certainly viable. Do you tuck in your t-shirts? I never do so maybe that is the issue.

I think it had something to do with the fabric although strange only that one area. I neither wear a belt nor tuck it in.

Nothing. I have a full closet of work clothes that were not used during 2 years WFH with the Pandemic. I work with mostly men and they are going to have no memory or clue what I wore 2 years ago. As a matter of fact, with men, you could show up every day for a week in the same outfit and they would not notice.

So no new clothes for a long while. I have plenty to wear and as was mentioned in another thread, styles have not changed in the last 10 years, so there is nothing to update.

Update gym clothes. That is it.

I agree, i shop very little. But i also trim my closet and let go of things that dont fit and i hate it every time i wear it, I do a Marie Kondo on them. So getting a few news tshirts will be nice.

Ha! I looked in my closet last week and saw a lot I need to trim. My trim is folding the unwanted clothes (they are clean) and stacking them in a garbage bag and taking them to the good will.

I have my "bland set." These are loose dress pants and a few long sleeve formless but nice shirts. Those are for church. We have some people with serious health problems, some struggling with skin issues or going through some difficult circumstances and I feel better, for some reason wearing those there. My husb calls them "your church lady clothes."

Where are you finding these?
I buy all my tops, short and long-sleeve, from Life Is Good. They have free shipping and returns, and they always send a coupon for 20-25% off after you place an order. If you don't like the 100% cotton you can order the "crusher lite" tees and tops. They wear like iron too.

To be fair to men I'd say they notice. But, they could care less...
