[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like 98%. I have one dress I got for a relative's wedding I haven't worn since, a black skirt, a swimsuit, pair of gloves rarely needed, a pair of pj pants, plus the shoes for that dress.

I have very little clothing and wear almost all regularly. [/quote]

Have you always been this way or did you eliminate any excess that you weren't wearing? I need tips! I probably wear 5-10% of my wardrobe and there's nothing wrong with most of the other 90-95%; I just don't wear it.[/quote]

I was not always this way. I'm 48 and probably around 25 I realized that I went to malls and shopped when I was bored or depressed. I went through my closet and pulled everything I hadn't worn in the last six months. I was embarrassed at all the clothes still with tags - so much money wasted. I kept all of it aside for another three or four months and then donated it all. I went through my dresser drawer by drawer and culled. Nobody needs 20 swimsuits. Nobody needs 15 hoodies. Nobody needs more than 20 pairs of shoes (I think I have around 9 or 10). I also did the hanger thing where you turn all your hanged clothes backwards, and as you wear them you turn the hangers forward. Then after x months you look at all the hangers you didn't touch. Give those clothes away.

I only buy to replace. I have three pairs of jeans, wear them all, and one is about to wear out so I'm going to replace that one soon. I have four sweaters. That's plenty. I don't care that people see me in the same thing more than once.

I was at a friend's house and saw she had like five or six tan/beige button down shirts. They all looked the same. Maybe she could keep two of different weights? She likes having a ton of stuff, and complaining about not having enough room. But she has plenty of room (two huge closets) and just too much for one person. She never uses umbrellas but has 6 or 7. She told me one is broken. I asked why she's keeping it and she couldn't answer so I dropped it. Some people like having stuff. I just am not that person.  [/quote]
