Funny you should post this.... I just happened to realize the other day how many work (Uniform) tops I had!! I counted then and I have six short sleeved tops for work and three sweaters (These are all company issued but I had no idea I had so many collected after four years working there! I also have three aprons...I have to think about how many pairs of black work pants I have...I think I have about five but two of the pairs need sewing as they are very old...I would say I only have two good pairs of work pants! As for regular everyday cloths... I have three pairs of cords and only one pair of jeans Sweaters...Way too many LOL!!! It is my New Years resolution to go through my cloths and get rid of several items that I have not worn in years and not continue to hang on to this stuff...This way, someone else can make use of the clothing hopefully and I'll have less stuff to worry about! ~Heavens~

I never throw away clothes. I take them to goodwills or give them to someone who can use them. I also will have some to go because I am still working on cleaning up all of this extra long kept clothing...appreciate the response.

Glad I'm not alone... Yes, the items I mentioned here are the ones I actually wear..... There is so much more hanging around here and I must go through my clothes and give some away for sure! Glad I'm not alone! ~Heavens~

I have to get things cleared out periodically. Sometimes they wear out, and I can trash them, but others do not wear out, and I just have to break any emotional attachment to them and give them away, knowing that someone else probably needs them more than I do.

I don't know, that is for sure. I have a lot of skinnier clothes that I do not wear. I tried recently to thin a few things out. The key there is that I have to put it in a box and take it away to Goodwill before I have a chance to go back and put it back in the closet or drawers.

I can fully relate! I have thinner clothes too from before my son and know now that I'll never get into them again (He's five)...Anyhow if I ever do they'll be so out of fashion by then I just can't bear to part with some of these items But I know I have to and this year!!! It can't go on as I have so little storage here and so must send some of it out the door..Perhaps we should start a club..."Hoarders Anonymous" Would you join if I lead the group? ~Heavens~

I have no idea how many I have. Never really thought about keeping count of my clothing. As long as my closet doesn't start over flowing with clothes.

Well I don't purposefully keep count but because I don't really have much, I do know a few. I know I have 3 pairs of shoes, one tennis shoes, one dress shoes and one birkenstocks. I also have 5 pairs of shorts that I wear on a regular basis. I have more that I have not thrown away. I only have 3 pairs of pants, one blue jean, one black jean and one dress slacks. As far as shirts go, I have no clue. I know have too many of those. I keep cleaning them out but the still seem to multiply.

Its amazing how they can add up, My children gave me alot of things and I know that started to add up too. I did enjoy the space when I cleared alot of it out.

I have three pairs of jeans and a few pairs of work pants. I do have lots of shirts/sweaters I do not keep count of. The shoe and sock department I do not know because my daughter works for a high end shoe store and guess what we got for gifts. I have socks I have not opened up yet. I do love the socks and shoes. I got some lined Croks I love and in fact I am getting a new pair because they are on sale and she is pulling me a pair so I can get them on her discount. If you have not seen the lined Crocks they are great. The lining comes out so you can wash them. I put the lining in the washing machine and dryer and they came out great. My daughter told me after wards that I was not suppose to put them in the washer and dryer. OH WELL it worked out Okay.

I have no idea....but what I do know is that I usually wear the same things most of the time. I do have of course two sets for the different seasons. And I do know I could use one more pair of jeans..LOL...shoes.....I have enough to make me happy though if someone gave me a gift certificate to a shoe store I could always find another pair!
