Far too many never worn items get donated by me.

If I like something, I tended to buy additional of the same item, maybe in a different color. But between retiring and Covid, I don't socialize like I used to. And I tend to wear the same clothing. I rarely wear my nicer clothes. So I do purges of my closet and drawers and donate all the unworn clothing.
I like to stock up on short and long sleeve tees. Sometimes I buy several in various colors and prints even though I might not need them right away.

Lots of stuff.
Many of the things that I like to wear aren’t easily found, so when I see these pieces I buy them.
And I buy multiples of my faves just in case there’s a “fave famine.” 😀
I like to buy multiples of items too, especially simple tops and tees that I wear frequently. I also buy multiple pairs of pants and jeans when I find a good fit because that's always a challenge for me.

Yes!
I do that all the time. In fact the top I am wearing right now, I bought 2 in the same color. I always seem to spill something when I eat. Sometimes the stain comes out sometimes, espcially tomato sauce, it does not. SO, if I buy more than one, I still have one in the color and style I want.

Who me? I thought this sure doesn't apply to me. Then just this morning I was lookingj for something to wear to town and voila, there was a One World layered top in airy blues, with tag still attached. I've switched completely to Kim Gravel in my purchases, maybe I should re-consider all that One World in my closet.

Yes! Lots of low prices on clothing during the lockdown. I bought a few things from Macy's and other retailers last year. I'm still seeing great deals on clothing. Makes it very tempting to buy even when I don't really need it.

I have many, many, many items of clothing that have never been worn. I have a large drawer with items still in packaging. I also have shoes in boxes that have never been worn.
I am hoping that I can come to the realization that it is time to stop buying.
I feel a little sad about it all. But I guess this is life as we
age and life changes.
Right now, we are awaiting the arrival of family members which includes three of our four grandchildren. I am so glad the their parents have plans to take the young ones on many outings in our area. I just don't have the
desire I used to have or the energy.
I am wearing new AnyBody joggers as well as a jason Wu
top right now. I like looking put together, but the days of
needing so many articles of clothing are definitely in the rear-view mirror.
@Susan in CaliforniaI think it's fairly normal for our wardrobes to change as we grow, age, and our lives change. I had to retire early due to some health issues so my wardrobe has also changed some. I don't have as many work related separates anymore. I kept a few for church & events that require something nicer then jeans.
Enjoy your time with your grandchildren!

I have two things, both dresses, one is a black wrap dress, that I purchased probably 5 years ago!! It's a tad low cut and dressy. I probably bought it for church and now things are so casual I would feel out of place wearing it.
The other is a dress for summer, not overly dressy but not casual that I purchased during the lockdown last year.
Tags are still hanging on both dresses.
Perhaps you could wear your black wrap dress to church for Christmas? I tend to see more people at church dressed up for Christmas and Easter. If it still fits and you like it, I would definitely hold onto it. A wrap dress is a classic you could dress up or down for many different events. If it's too low, you could try a camisole under it. I do that with some of my wrap dresees.
I sing at my church weekly so I have several dresses and nice separates I wear for that. There are people who are dressed more casually at my church too. We definitely are a more causally dressed society now, but I still dress up for church and other things.

I bought them either when I found them on sale or saw some that I really liked and figured I better buy it while I see it. Haven't had the opportunity to wear them yet for a couple of reasons. I wear a uniform to work so right there that is the brunt of my attire and with the pandemic, haven't gone out to many places where they would be appropriate.
They are a little too dressy for Publix and Home Depot. 😅 👗
I understand that. I used to stop by my grocery sometimes after Sunday church so I was wearing dresses, skirts, or nice trousers with heels. I got some interesting looks. 🤔
