How many clothes does a lady really need? Help

The coat thing? I totally get it. Where I live it's winter for six months of the year. Trust me you get fed up of the same coat for 180 days.

I just looked:

Down filled coat
Purple going out coat with fur trim
Black wool coat
Tan
Hot Pink
Navy coat (If I don't wear two sweaters it fits)
Barbour for between seasons
Maroon down jacket
Four fleece jackets

It can be cold where I work, so I've been known to wear the down jacket and a fleece on night shift.

I'm not a hoarder of coats but trust me after 100 days of -25C weather, you need a change.

This is a great thread - i'm gonna take the advice here and cut down my wardrobe a bit.

Have bagged up two binbags full of clothes today- feeling quite proud of myself!

I have been thinking of decluttering for the longest. I need to stop thinking and just get on with it!! I also have too many things, coats, tights, trousers, dresses.

Don't start me on makeup!!:)

Oh yes, me. I like looking at nice things but I can't buy anything new for the moment. Keen charity shop bargains are my current passion. Eeeh, there's nowt better than getting hold of something really lovely for a couple of quid. That gives me more pleasure than any shopping did when I could afford to saunter round pricey designer emporiums with a decent wage in the bank ripe for the spending thereof.

There are sensible people among us who employ a strict "new one in, old one out" policy. If I wasn't a blood-relative of Squirrel Nutkins I'd do that, too.

Now, will someone please put me out of misery and tell me what the tubigrip is for, if it's decent.

I've been trying to rationalise my wardrobe too. I have a post about it on my homepage and found Project 333 inspiring (amongst other things!). I am currently trying out a working wardrobe of 33 items and a casual wardrobe of 33 items!

I picked up a couple of pairs of linen trousers in Primark and after ironing them I was looking for some hangers and couldn't find any empty ones. My wardrobe(s) were bursting. I have 95 hangers stuffed in one and about 60 in the other and I still can't find anything to wear!!!

I think that I might have to have a bit of a clear out

I decided yesterday to cull some of my clothing stash. I sorted it into piles and everything.

My piles have been staring at me accusingly all day long.

Good news - I found stuff that I'd forgotten I had, still like and........for a Brucie bonus..........actually fits.

Bad news - I'm such a wimp, even the stuff I don't like much hasn't made its way to the 'get rid' pile. I wore a top to work the other day that I actually despise. What's all that about? I seem to be in the 'I paid good money for that, so therefore I will wear it to the bitter end' catagory. :rotfl:

What a loser .

It's tragic - it really is.
