*Edited because I keep finding new things*
As my first act to make my life more zen, I have decided to look through my wardrobe. I was reading this great post from Frugal Trenches, and thinking that I am nowhere close to where she is. In fact, clothes just pile up everywhere in my little room- even with 2 regular dressers, a tall 6 drawer dresser, a wardrobe and a closet! I got down to it, and counted everything in my wardrobe, as accurately as I could. Here is what I found:
I own:
- 8 skirts
- 8 pairs of jeans
- 6 pairs of pants
- 7 pairs of capris
- 3 track pants
- 9 pairs of shorts
- 15 dresses
- 9 nighties
- 7 pj sets
- 43 winter tops/ sweaters
- 57 summer tops
- 10 jackets
That's 182 items of clothing!
What's really bothersome about this is some of the things I keep just for sentimental value and just can't get rid of. Like 5 x-large t-shirts from 5 years of volunteering at the Run for the Cure that I can't get rid of because my friends scribbled on them with markers. And a shirt from Paris that doesn't fit right.
However what's truly shocking are all the pieces I never ever wear, or need. How about a hideous, button-up, transparent dress from the 80's with shoulderpads (who knows how I got it)? Or 3 different part-time job uniforms?
Anyway, it continues:
- 18 purses/bags (I NEVER use a purse. NEVER. almost religiously)
- 4 housecoats
- 5 pairs of slippers
- 2.. maybe 3 swimsuits. I found part of one
- 26 belts
- 28 scarves
- 9 pairs of tights
- 11 bras. Interestingly only 3 fit. 1 was always too big (hopeful thinking...?), 1 is a weird tube top thing, and 3 I grew out of (the bad way- downsizing), and 3 i just discovered
