Yesterday, one of the lecturers at college wore a grey suit. Grey jacket,grey skirt, and a purple shirt. Today, she wore the same jacket, with the same skirt - though she had changed her shirt.
My feeling is that it's Just Not Okay to wear the same outfit to work two days running. Or even, really, in the same week.
I'm not sure if I'm in the minority with this one, though. So, I have frittered away half an hour of my life making a poll with which to find out the popular view on the matter.
Let me know what you think.

I work in a bank three days a week and I'm forced to wear a uniform. We were given one skirt,one pair of pants (which I hate), and four shirts. I have no choice but to wear the same skirt with a change of shirt each day. But they were nice enough to give us two scarves and one jacket, what a joke.
A uniform is different and probably the only acceptable reason to wear the same things again. Otherwise, I think you have to wait a week to cycle an outfit...pair it a different top and such but still can't do it in the same week.
I honestly think this is an America vs. British Isles issue. In America it would be totally unacceptable. In rural Ireland, I've seen well-respected professionals (including lawyers and real estate agents, for example) wear the same suit for a week- only changing shirts daily- and nobody but me thinks anything of it.
Lili, yes, you are probably right. Wonder if there is anywhere else where it's acceptable? It's definitely not ok in SA.
as a SAHM, I'm often in the same outfit all week ;)
And sometimes I even keep my jammies on all day. (Atrocious).
I suppose I'm not the one who should cast a vote here.
