I've come across his site before. It's amazing how his paintings convey a landscape with simply geometric shapes.

Could I make it a month with only 6 items of clothing? Maaaaybe. Do workout clothes count? Then definitely not.

Lost and found stories like this never cease to amaze me.

Given the temperature difference between my office (air-conditioned) and my home (not) and exercise clothes, that 6 items of apparel thing would be really though. I’d HAVE to have:
shorts (for running)
T-shirt (for running)
Now, I’m not going to want to wear the T to work or around the house unless I wash it every day or two, so I also need:
pants (for work)
Sweater or long-sleeve shirt (for work)
Short sleeve shirt or tank top (for home)
That’s 5. Let’s assume I don’t want to wear the same thing EVERY day. Then I need:
Second long-sleeve shirt (for work)
So i’d have to wear the same clothes when at home, whenever working out, same pants EVERY day. Laundry would become a very frequent activity.
I think this is one experiment I wouldn’t go in for.

It’s an interesting exercise, for sure, although I think you can probably accomplish the goal (paring down your wardrobe and being less of a consumer) without actually going through with the challenge.
Ok, so underwear, shoes, and accessories don’t count. I’m going to also make the assumption that workout clothes don’t count, to make it easier. (I don’t have any workout clothes that could double as anything OTHER than workout clothes.) I’d go with white, black, and gray as a color scheme. And I’m fortunate that I can dress pretty casually at work.
So for summer I think I’d pick:
Work pants (black)
2 short sleeve button-up shirts (1 white or gray, 1 maybe in a fun color)
Jeans
Skirt (knee length in black, gray, or a black/white/gray pattern)
1 black t-shirt (could be worn at work or at home)
For winter I’d have to ditch one of the work shirts for some kind of blazer/jacket.
