Same here! I attribute it to shrinkage in the fabric, probably from the chemtrails.
Through high school, college, and much of my first job I wore black turtlenecks and jeans. I had 12 sets in various states of wear. It meant I spent no time sorting clothes. Then, I discovered that Steve Jobs had hit on the same trick, when someone accused me of being a copycat. I switched to gray.

Hey, it takes a few years to break in a shirt properly.
I have multiple different shirts, but they all are similar enough for me not having to be concerned whether they will “fit” with my jeans.

@4 ‘whether they will “fit” with my jeans’
I’m generally more concerned whether they will fit ‘in’ my jeans. As long as the bottom of the short can comfortably be tucked into the waist of the jeans I’m satisfied.
I totally agree. Black jeans, black golf-shirts (black is so slimming… 🙂 ) and I’m good to go.
The only occasional is I have a few long sleeve shirts for the rare time when I’m going to be inside someplace where the heat isn’t great during winter.
@Dunc, No. 6 Decision making, “willpower” does work that way. Every time we make a decision, we sap a little bit of our ability to make more decisions. Check out Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength by Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney. Removing/automating as many routine decisions as possible each day greatly frees up the brain for the important decisions.

The book changed my life.

A psychologist and an NYT science writer “blending practical wisdom with the best of recent research science”? And it’s endorsed by Stephen Pinker! Well then, it must be true… Nobody would ever publish a pop psychology book full of plausible-sounding bullshit, would they?
Indeed, but for some unfathomable reason shirts that I wore then don’t fit me now.

I don’t think brain power works that way.

I remain sceptical. As I recall, the basis of this claim is a bunch of “ego depletion” studies (by the lead author of your recommended book, no less) which turned out to be non-reproducible, which then led to the whole concept being re-evaluated. See, for example: Challenges to Ego-Depletion Research Go beyond the Replication Crisis: A Need for Tackling the Conceptual Crisis.

Robert79 has just revealed that he tucks shirts into jeans. What the hell, robert79, what the hell.
@Dunc No. 9…
And therefore…?
