six items or less challenge

I came across this challenge through Unclutterer, and I think its very intriguing. It reminds me a bit of when I was backpacking across Europe last spring. Although my clothes did get kind of stinky due to the lack of laundry facilities at times it was actually incredibly freeing to not have to think or worry very much about what you were wearing. Due to the climate where I live in Ottawa, Canada I think this would probably only be possible in the dead of winter or in the extreme heat of summer, since our spring and fall weather can be incredibly bi-polar. None the less it does make me think hard about the kind of clothing I have, and the kind of clothing I buy. In the past when I have done shorter contracts in an office I have gotten VERY creative with my office wear since I wasn't sure when the next time I would need it would be, and didn't want to spend very much money on very many office items. This time however seeing as I have recently started a new job I would probably want to wait and make a good first impression before embarking on something like this. Six Items or less challenge
