Just completed my semi-annual closet overhaul. As always, I'm disgusted with myself for forgetting about something I bought last year and the excess of it all. No, I do not have a room of clothes and hundreds of shoes and purses. However, if I had kept every dress, pant, blouse, sweater or accessory I have owned through the years, I'm sure I would qualify.
How many clothes does one person need? A working person should be able to complete two weeks without duplicating and outfit. This does not mean ten pairs of pants, skirts, tops or shoes. It means about half of this, some great accessories and some creativity. Then you will need some special occasion attire, casual wear and workout/lounging gear.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be the clothing Nazi here. Lord knows I always have and continue to get a major rush out of shopping for clothes. There have been some very bad decisions and ones that have given me pleasure for so many years. Plus, when my body image isn't working on all cylanders I can do the same with purses and shoes.
Even if you lead a jet set life, attend formal functions three times a week there is really no excuse for having two hundred of anything. If you are fabulousy wealthy you will forget about things just about as quick as you buy them.
