If I'm wearing a sweater, with a t-shirt underneath, it doesn't tend to get dirty unless I spill something on it, the t-shirt keeps it clean.
(Wearing a sweater with a t-shirt under is what I did all my life in Britain in the winter, where houses are not heated the way they are in NorAm.)
So I could easily wear a sweater for eight days or even longer, and the reason for doing that would be familiarity, comfort, liking how it looks, and saving the trouble of thinking in the morning. I've also done the thing where I put it back on as soon as it was dry -- and in fact I'd still do that. I get terribly attached to my sweaters and when, after ten or fifteen years or even less, they wear out, I'm reluctant to admit it and find it hard to part with them.
I also tend to buy identical and near-identical shirts and t-shirts so the blue shirt I'm wearing today is deeply similar to the one I was wearing yesterday and also to the one I'll be wearing tomorrow.
If other people get tired of me wearing the same things all the time they haven't mentioned it. I suppose they're used to it, or maybe just polite.
I'm not sure if I'm going in the direction of "so this isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as it's clean" or "do feel free to use me as an Awful Warning". ("And if you don't watch out, Delia, you'll end up as bad as Jo!")
