65. Simplifying our wardrobes- Cutting back on clothes to prevent mount laundry
With each new season, I take inventory of everyone's cloths (mine and the kids). I make sure we all have a handful of go-to outfits, and a few nice-ish things for church, gatherings, etc. The goal is super minimal, so that everyone knows what to wear and clothes aren't all over the house. I am still wearing my summer "uniform" but I will update with my fall wardrobe when I get it all purchased. :)
