a different colored pair of drawers for every day of the week

“He had eyes for a long blonde flatshanked daughter that used to sit
with her legs propped so that you could see her drawers, She laughed
all the time. He’d never seen her in a pair of shoes but she had a
different colored pair of drawers for every day of the week and black
ones on Saturday.”

—Cormac McCarthy, Child of God, 1973.
