Honesty, Please -- Amount of Clothing Question

[ Edited ]

My husband thinks I have a ridiculous amount of clothing (and shoes, handbags, etc.)

 

I wondered how many pairs of pants other women have, dresses, tops, sweaters?

 

I have a double closet with just blouses, short sleeved and long sleeved.  And I have a large dresser with t-shirts adn short-sleeve tops.  I have a large closet organized in sections for sweaters and cardigans, and another closet with hanging jeans and pants.  It seems like a lot, but I hear women call into the Q and say they purchased all colors of this pant or that pant, or bought this or that blouse in every color, so I'm thinking my stash isn't over the top.  Would love to honestly know the amount of clothing other women have accumulated.

What others have in their closet has no bearing on anyone else.  It depends on your lifestyle and clothing needs and what you wear, use and want.  I doubt most us would have the same clothes we really wear.

Just comparitively speaking, you have much more clothing and space for it than I.  However, that means nothing.  If it makes you happy, and it is not effecting you financially, it is certainly NOT ridiculous.

Re: Honesty, Please -- Amount of Clothing Question

My Mother was a hoarder ....so I get very nervous if there is too much

stuff around ...Luckily I have bad feet so there are not a lot of shoes

I can wear .. therefore when I do find a pair I like I do buy multiples of

those ...

 

I think my husband would collect more if I were not there to encourage

him...I cannot stand keeping anything if I am not using it ....have I

gotten rid of stuff I regret .. sure have ...

 

Out of five children... 2 are hoarders .. one brother ...65 years old has

all his clothes from junior high ....

 

So OP .. no I do not have a lot of clothing ....

I don't think I have a lot of clothing.  I'd have less if I didn't have to have a job.  

 

Handbags are a different story.  Got on that kick a few years ago.

Re: Honesty, Please -- Amount of Clothing Question

1. You sound very organized.

2. My husband has never commented on the amount of clothing I own, except to let me know there's a package for me that just came in.

3. If I listed all my clothes here, I wouldn't have the energy to do anything else.Woman LOL
