[00:02.13] Spencer: So talking about clothes, Curtis, do you spent a lot of money on clothes?

[00:05.12] Curtis: I don't really spend a lot of money on clothes. I think the clothes that I buy last for a long time.

[00:12.63] And I have a lot of them but I only add to them very slowly over the years. Some of my t-shirts I've had since high school.

[00:21.88] And so even dress shirts for work, every once in a while something will get worn out but not very often.

[00:29.88] So I have a lot of clothes but I don't have to spend much money on them.

[00:33.88] I would like to maybe this year or next year buy a nice three-piece suit though, that might be a little bit expensive, but I've always wanted one of those.

[00:42.38] Spencer: Yeah. I'm the same, I don't like to spend a lot of money on clothes, but every now and then it is nice to splurge on something that looks really good, yeah.

[00:51.13] No, there's some great shops like TJ Maxx and Target and yeah, they're, you know, half price and not as expensive.

[00:58.87] But you can still find some great looking things.

[01:00.88] Curtis: Right. Yeah. And I think by adding to the collection that I already have, I can wear different styles on different days.

[01:08.13] And so I don't feel like I need to spend a lot of money to replace my whole collection because of that, like you said, you can splurge and

[01:16.13] maybe spend a little bit more on a really nice item that you want because you're able to keep recycling everything else that you have already.

[01:23.38] Spencer: That's true.

[01:24.38] Curtis: Do you think you have too many clothes by chance, do you feel like you need to get rid of any of your clothes?

[01:30.38] Spencer: Right now I have way too many shoes actually. I kind of feel like I have a pair of sneakers that I use for sports and tennis,

[01:38.38] I have a pair of like nice cute shoes that I wear for when I when go out and dress up and then I have a pair of kind of everyday flipflops that I walk around in all the time.

[01:46.13] But there's three other only things I need but in my closet right now I have about like probably 12 pairs of shoes and it's ridiculous like you know I don't need exactly three pairs of black shoes, one that's heels, one that's not, one that's sandals.

[02:01.88] So I have way too many shoes for one. Shirts, I have maybe too many t-shirts, they tend to accumulate, if you go to certain events a lot of times you'll get free t-shirts.

[02:12.38] I run in a lot of marathons and one of the things they give you is a t-shirt. So they've kind of accumulated and I have a lot, a lot of t-shirts. What about you?

[02:22.63] Curtis: Yeah, I think I have some shirts that I need to get rid of, a few t-shirts that are from events that don't really look so nice.

[02:32.88] I never wear them but I have them, I always feel like, oh, just in case, maybe if I haven't done laundry for a while I'll need a t-shirt someday.

[02:40.37] But they take up a lot of space in my drawers. So I think I need to get rid of some of those.

[02:45.13] And as far as shirts for work, I have a few shirts that I first bought just when I started working after college, and they're nice shirts but I tend to select other shirts before them so they never really get worn.

[02:58.88] So what I've decided to do is turn all of the hangers around on my ... where I have my hangers for my dress shirts.

[03:08.12] And after six months anything that hasn't been turned forward, which means I've worn it at least once, if I haven't worn it in six months I can probably get rid of it.

[03:17.13] Spencer: That's a great idea.

[03:17.88] Curtis: That way I can monitor myself and see what I'm wearing or what I'm not, and if I'm not wearing then I can donate it to a shop or give it a way or send it to a recycle shop or Salvation Army or something like that.

[03:28.63] Spencer: I have a terrible habit of when I find something that fits me well and I think looks good, I'll buy several of the same thing,

[03:35.13] just in different colors, so I'm wearing the same thing all the time just with different colors.

[03:40.38] Yeah, I love hats, I tend to wear a hat whenever I go outside in the summer, when I play tennis, when I go to the beach, all the time.

[03:48.88] And they get so worn, I need more of them.

[03:51.13] Curtis: Yeah, I have a few hats. I don't wear them very often, for me a hat is like a last ditch effort to save a bad hair day, like I woke up late, I have to go or I'll miss the bus, okay here's a hat.

[04:04.88] Spencer: I do that all the time. Oh, I don't have enough time to shower this morning, just throw on a hat.

[04:09.13] Curtis. Yeah.

[04:10.12] Spencer: Nobody will ever know, yeah, it's good.
