Now most persons have "going out clothes",clothes that wear when you are going out separate from clothes that you wear in your yard,"yard clothes".Sometimes however your "going out clothes" gets incorporated in the "yard clothes" section,when does this happen for you.Is it when you are tired of wearing them ,or do they have to be damaged or is it when its out of style.
I would love for you to tell if and when your "dressing " clothes become home clothes and any stories would be invaluable as well.Thanks in advance

I don't have a yard but I do have staying in clothes and going out clothes. My going out clotes become staying in clothes when they get either too big or too worn for me to wear out and feel comfortable.

For me, my going out cloth is much more than the staying in clothes. And what I do is I seldom buy stay at home clothes. When my going out cloth is too old or out of fashion, then they will become home wear. so I don't shop for staying in clothes that much.

My dress clothes become yard/work around the house clothes once they are damaged. They can have a stain or be worn out at that point they become the clothes that you don't care how dirty they get. I even have a shirt that is my painting and dying shirt for when I color my hair. No sense in ruining a good one.
Once I can no longer use them to wear, depending if cotton or not and condition I may even cut them up and use as car rags. Firm believer in recycling here. waste not want not

my "going out" clothes becomes my "yard clothes" when they get too faded or uncomfortable to use as going out clothes.

I usually keep nice clothes for at least a year before they are my "yard" clothes.

My going out clothes become yard clothes when they become faded. I also make the yard clothes when they get holes in them or become worn thin or stained also. I make them yard clothes if I buy new ones also to replace them.

I find that i have dress up clothes, work clothes, and at home clothes. My dressup clothing never becomes work or at home clothing they are too dressy even if stained or ripped to be comfy in on a regular basis. Work clothes become home clothes when they get too stained or ripped to be out in public...so long as they are comfy enough to do yard work in or bum around the house.

I do convert going out garments into stay at home outfits when they are old, faded or stained but I have gone out and bought clothes for staying in consisting mainly of t shirts and track pants; the reason I did that is so that I have something decent to wear to take my little one to school and still wear around the house when I get home. Some of my stay at home combinations are pretty bad and my daughter would be embarrassed if I wore them to take her to school which is a shame because my holey track pants are the most comfortable!![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

my going-out clothes become home-clothes either after i have worn them a fair few times, or when they are dulled a bit, or when i get tired of wearing them. depends on the fabric and also the style... sometimes it also happens that my yard-clothes, if they were in the closet for a long time, and i see them after a big break and i feel, 'hey i like this'... then that becomes a part of my going-out clothes too, but its rare...

There is no definite time when my going out clothes becomes my Yard clothes.I dont buy yard clothes.when the going out clothes go out of fashion or when they become to comfortable that I don't feel like taking them off when I come back from outside they become my yard clothes.

Hello Ronny.
Yes its easy to keep your "going out clothes" and "yard clothes" seperate. What i do is when i get new clothes i keep the similar but old ones as YARD. sometimes you buy something, you wear that, people comment on you saying it does not suit you, or the colour does'nt suit your skin, ofcourse you will not wear that again & again, this goes to YARD now. This is when i mix my NEW colther with the home or YARD clothes. I am too excited to try new colours & styles but somethimes they dont suit you, or you parents or friends dont like them here they go again to "YARD CLOTHES". That is my way of keeping them seperate.

Hi, ronnyb. When I am at home I will wear old clothes that look suitable to wear. When I am out in the yard, I will wear old clothes again. I won't wear my good clothes out the door. I would not want them to get dirty or damaged. And when I am at home cooking or cleaning, I will not wear good clothes either. All my good clothes are for wearing out only. Now I may have a pair of pants that I will wear around the house and out just as long as the pants are in good condition. I used to stay with my husband's cousin and she used to come home from work cooking in her clothes that she wore from work. I can't see how she can do this. I would be concerned about my clothes getting grease or food on them.

Hi, that's an interesting discussion
Many of my going out clothes become my yard colthes, when I got a new clothe, I love it so much, but when after a year, it wasn't new anymore, and it out of style, I don't like it any more, so it will become a yard clothe, sometimes the clothe is not very good quality, so the color is not as good as when I got it, it would become my yard colthes.

Lately, the line between my "going out clothes" and my "yard/staying in clothes" is becoming more and more blurry. I haven't shopped for clothes in forever! Since I usually demote my clothes when they become impossibly stained, torn, or otherwise worn-out, the number of items I can wear out in public is quickly dwindling!
Luckily, I'm not out in public very often, about 4 days a week, so I only really need a few changes of decent-looking clothes. Not-so-luckily, I noticed about a week ago that I'm down to three pairs of pants in good enough shape to wear in public, so it is time to go shopping. :( I should get my first MyLot payout this month, so guess where it's probably going!

Hi ronnyb... yes I do have separate "going out clothes" and the clotes that I would wear if I am just at home. But if that going out clothes started to fade its color or it has a little damage or it became too big or too small for me already that is the time I consider it as one of that clothes that I would just wear at home. If they are those clothes that could not be worn on a regular day I will give it to somebody else who could use it.

I can't say many of my going out clothes become yard clothes as their usually made out fabric not warm enough to be worn outside and just not the kind of material no matter how worse for wear is going to do for yard work. Sometimes though I will end up wearing a pair of jeans I used to love for nights out or a sweater, it's usually when there all faded, ripped, stretched, stained, etc.. I usually have a bag of casual clothes for yard work though.
