Too much Stuff???

Do you ever feel just overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you have?? I feel like I have so much that I barely even look at and I wear the same black pants ALL the time.

I think I need to purge my closet a bit and take a good, hard look at what I never wear.

Oh and maybe I should STOP adding clothes to it lol

Too much clothes??

No, I feel the same way. I have TONS of clothes (4 closets, an armoire, 2 full dressers) and I always end up wearing the same outfits. I think my problem is that I am not creative/organized. I have no motivation to put "outfits" together when I realistically could go months without wearing something twice. I always run to my "go to" outfits lol

OR - I can do like you said and stop adding clothes to it but what fun would that be? Lol besides, you ladies just suckered me into the Stitchfix!

This is exactly what I do. I saw something on Pinterest that really helped me make the cuts to my wardrobe. Turn all your hangers around...facing the wrong way. When you wear something then you turn it around. If at the end of the season you haven't worn it...get rid of it!

OMG yes.
I thought I was the only crazy one.
Like suddenly I am giving human feelings and emotions to inanimate objects.
It can't be normal.

And yes, I have too much stuff. Too many clothes and just too much STUFF in general!

Re: Too much Stuff???

I am obviously a huge shopper and love clothes and accessories. I feel like I have everything organized pretty well but I still forget about things! M-F I force myself to wear out together outfits. Weekend my uniform is usually yoga pants and a sweat shirt :)

I keep clothes that don't fit in tupperwares in the attic and mark then with sizes

I'm embarrassed to tell you how much $$ I've made selling my own clothes on eBay Chat Icon It only makes me think of how much more than that I actually SPENT.

Re: Too much Stuff???

Same here. I feel like I wear black pants and some top or sweater all week long to work.

I also wish I was familiar with Ebay selling.

It gives me anxiety. My sister does this and seems to do well. But she focuses on name brand stuff, where I usually have Old Navy, Target and Kohl's and I am not sure those are big sellers.

I've even wanted to have yard sales but that gives me worse anxiety because I don't want to deal with crazy people before the sun rises. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Too much Stuff???

100% YES!!!

I have so many cute clothes - the problem for me is they are all shoved into drawers so I forget about a lot of them & the ones that are in my closet, I tend to just grab what's in front of me which is always the same few tops.

I think our problems can be resolved if we all just had an entire room turned into a walk in closet. Chat Icon I wish.
