This is a bit of a challenge for me because number1 if I received $100 I would most likely not spend the money on cloths. It's not that I don't like cloths or don't want to be stylish, I'm just not a huge cloths shopper. Perhaps it's because when I do try to shop for cloths I am always drawn to t-shirts and I certainly don't need more or everything I love is so expensive I just can't bare to spend the money. Bottom line I go through stages when I really want to shop for cloths, like now that I'm going on a big trip, I want something new, something fun, and other times I just don't care because really I don't like to spend money on cloths.Number 2 I am a hoarder. The truth is out and the thing I hoard most is money. I don't know if I do it on some strange subconscious level to save or that I know the item I want most exceeds the $100 range. Whatever the case the money would mostly be hidden until I had forgotten about it only to find it months later feeling totally rich. This in fact has happened before and it's such a delight to find and realize that the thing I want most is now a possibility.
But if we consider the challenge, which is a supposed $100 to spend on clothing, I would do one of two things.
I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. I would say 99.1% of the time you will find me in a pair of jeans (american eagle these days) and a fitted t-shirt. As much as I like to branch out when I do go shopping I have this strange pull toward the t-shirts. It's my comfort and it's what I like most. Boring to some, classic to me. I tend to only buy jeans when my favorites are worn and old. I do in fact wear them to the very end. When I find something I love it's hard to replace so only do it when it's totally necessary (hence the photo of the tattered jeans).Now there are those rare opportunities when I am looking for something different (this is always my intention but it doesn't always happen) where I will spend the entire amount on one garment. If I find something I simply can't live without then the money is gone in one shot. I always do have some sort of buyers remorse, but quickly get over it as the delight in wearing it surpasses the guilt.
So there you have it, my not so love affair with cloths, however, I do and will always love the classic jean and t-shirt combo. I really can't get enough.

Isn't it funny how there are certain things that you just wear over and over. I am a jeans and t-shirt girl too, and like you I also have expensive tastes which I can't afford to wear. Sometimes I wonder if it is boring, but it's comfortable.
I can't say I'm much of a horder of money though. Chocolate yes, money no. :)
I too am a jeans and t-shirt girl. My problem these days is finding the perfect pair of jeans. It is funny how our bodies change(or at least mine has) after wach kid we have. I way about the same or mayeb even a little less than I have ever before but my jeans don't fit the same. I may have to try AE since you like yours so much.
I don't really horder money. I just shop, buy and then have buyer's remorse and return everything.
Cute pictures.
you look awesome in jeans and a tee. i would look just like you in my "perfect" jeans, i just know it!!
Even though we are opposite in our favorites -I can totally relate -stick to what you love & like to wear & feel comfy in,& are drawn to, etc!! Awesome ;) Janae
you know what you like and you stick to it. gotta love that! and you look super cute in tees and jeans so you are set!!
i have my fave "uniform" for each season and stick to them on a daily basis, but i do enjoy shopping and finding the "perfect" outfit for this or that.
I too am a jeans and a tee kind of gal, but I sure don't look as cute as you do.
Cute Pictures!
I love jeans and t-shirts and like you, prefer to call it classic, not boring. I need to find the right jeans for my body so I can get back to that "classic" feeling. Right now I'm frumpy.
I have hard time spending money on myself, so most likely if I had $100 it would not go to clothes. But of course if it did, it would be toward a good pair of jeans too.
You look so good in your picture. I love it!
I am a jeans and tshirt or hoodie type of gal. I wear jeans almost daily. And, I wear them out! Funny thing is - I have this one spot that is always worn on all my jeans due to my compulsion in vaccuming!
Ditto, a fitted tee is just right. And you do look fantastic. my favorite "wear til they die jeans?" citizens of humanity- everyday some weeks!
In my opinion you never can have enough t-shirts and jeans. My wardrobe consists of pretty much that as well. Except you can bet I wear a shade shirt EVERYDAY, well I guess you can consider that a t-shirt.
jenny i wear a shade everyday too. I've got quite the collection of white now.
Funny we both ended are spt's with can't get enough. You look anything but boring, classic for sure.
There's nothing wrong with t-shirts and jeans everyday. They're very you and that's a good thing.
I wish I looked good in just a jeans and t-shirts. Although, American Eagle is by far the best fit in jeans.
btw - I love that picture of your daughter doing the Dancerella. One of my girls would just go wild if she saw that. I've seen it but I wasn't sure if she would use - looks like it could get a lot of use. Cute posts!
You look fantastic in t-shirts and jeans, so it's definitely not boring. They are definitely the most comfortable to me. I've never tried American Eagle jeans -- I might have to check them out next time.
I'm glad you like tshirts and jeans- you look absolutley fabulous in them---watch out, a jeans modeling agency may contact you! :)
Your a poster child for American Eagle - you carry off casual very well.
I have worn t shirts and jeans for so many years (everyday of the week) I feel like I'm being 'stuffy' when I try to wear something else.
Love these photos, you look great!
Amy, I loved your post today. I so wanted to participate in SPT starting today, life was too crazy, but our spirits are truly kindred for I was going to post a picture of my ratty old jeans. I too wait until the last possible moment to have to purchase a new pair. It is a horrible time in my life when my favorite pair rip out...that is where I am at right now, and after trying on what seems like 100 pair of jeans...I am still wearing my ratty jeans! My closet? FULL of t-shirts. Oh dear I need help! ;)
You look fabulous...love the jeans!
No surprise: I am also a jeans and T-shirt gal. And only recently surrendered to this fact. For awhile I felt I needed to branch out. Then at target as I bought yet another T-shirt (in three colors) I thought, why? This is perfectly acceptable and simplifies my life just that much more.
I share your love affair with a great pair of jeans and a t-shirt. It doesn't get any better than that. I occasionally like to dress up but by the end of the day I always find myself pulling out the jeans and t-shirts! I can't seem to have enough of the white t-shirts. Everyone needs at least two!
I must share with you that I loaded the boys up this morning and went and got myself a pair of AE jeans! I love them- thanks for the tip!
If I looked as cute as you do in jeans and t-shirts, I'd wear them every day too!
