Closet inventory - is there such a thing as too much

[Gus]

Fall is in the air with wonderful, cooler temps. I've been packing away S/S clothing and during the process donating anything I didn't wear this past season. While I brought out my F/W, especially knits, it reminds me what I would like to add and have ordered a few new styles and colors of MTO cashmere sweaters.

I am nowhere near the point where I have to clear out my wardrobe, but even still I've ditched some pieces that I really don't see myself wearing, most of them being stuff that I received in the mail that came out wrong (all of my stuff has to come in the mail, there's nothing my size at any thrift stores)

My son is moving cross country and clearing out his apartment. He said "I can't believe how much stuff I have that I haven't worn in 5 years. I'm so glad to get rid of it".

Well I own 36 suits…most would probably say it’s excessive to have that many but I love variety…albeit subtle variety as almost all my suits are some form of solid navy, navy pinstripe, or dark gray.

I would not get rid of any of my suits I have personally - even if I haven’t even worn all of them yet, the variety brings me great joy. I did give several away last year that didn’t fit me very well, which brought the number down to 36. But as for what I own now, it’s a collection that took me years to build and I would not part with any of them.

Bankers_Stripe,
Though, I can’t imagine ever owning 36 suits, I really admire this. Beyond the basics, appreciating clothing for the way it make you feel, and the way it allows you to see the world, are two best reasons I can think of for caring about any of it.
