Oooh Ive just read all the comments on Primani I will wear all of my things! I have scaled down my wardrobe so much now and I needed some basics and it was a case of getting £30 worth of stuff from Primark or one top from a designer well Id have to go to Primark lol

This sounds just like me! I agree with others comments that only buy stuff if you will wear it, but I find Primark good for trying out new trends for example, wasn't sure initially about leggings/ jeggings- now I wear them all the time!

Just wondering after reading people's comments how big a wardrobe/ how many clothes you have? My husband seems to give me grief about mine but when it comes to finding outfits I struggle to put things together and don't feel I have a very big array of clothing. I'm trying to create a bit of a capsule wardrobe first and build on that. Reading other people's blogs is giving me lots of ideas so thank you all.

I think I did quite well given our family, my mum's 4'11" and my Nan's 4'9"

Luckily for me Dad is a massive 5'8" so get my amazonionness from him!

I married the tallest man in town in hope of bringing some height into the family. Plus he looked hillarious dancing with my Nan at our wedding reception!

Oh and height wise I'm about 5' 5" (another not so tall person)

My mum has shrunk to about 4'9 and my sisters and i are all obsessed with pilates and exercise to try and maintain back and bone strength.

I really dont have that many clothes now...I us to when I was a bigger size but I constantly bought clothes to try and make myself feel better about my size which didnt work and most didnt get worn as nothing looked good together.....anyway I dont have little enough for it to be classed as a capsule but I certainly dont have a big wardrobe so I have to be creative an doing my blog has really opened my eyes to what suits me and what doesnt!

I don't have many clothes, but I do still have more than I should have.
I have old clothes I am too big for now that were too expensive for me to get rid off but if I'm honest I wouldn't wear as they are not my stye now.

Same as old work clothes, I'm hording them in case I one day go back to an office job.

I've got pretty evening dresses that again no longer fit and not my style.

My actual working wardrobe is pretty sensible though, most of it works together:
This is just a guess:
7 cardis
7 tunics
7 dresses
various long sleeved t-shirts
various tights and leggings
skinny jeans in blue and black
3 pairs of jeggings

I mix and match a bit so I don't always wear the same combo.

Lottie, I think my wardrobe is the biggest it's ever been at the moment. Mainly due to my recent 'splurge'. I've also just started to enjoy wearing nice clothes again (after being a bit of a slouch) so I may have gone a bit overboard but I love everything in there at the moment (that may change though !)

I do have more tops than bottoms but I've got dresses now too (something I never bought before).

I'm 5'8 1/2" and i'm sometimes the short one! (well, other than my mum) My 15 year old brother is 6'2" and my ex was 6'6".
I feel so tall when I go out in town sometimes though, I like heels but I don't like being about a head taller than my friends.

Not much I can say on the veggie front, I'm proud that i've just got my first house plant!

Another box full on stuff waiting to go on ebay, don't think I can do it till thurday now though. Hmm.
