It has made me so much more conscious about what I will actually wear and knowing what to buy.

But even still, I could do to go through EVERYTHING and get rid of pieces I know I will not be wearing to give away, and to organize better by season. My daughter is one year old and I am just pulling out all my maternity pieces and nursing tops to give away.

If you love lots of colors that can't be worn together, it's much tougher to achieve.eilonwyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276153262339706293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-56543012339967003492015-10-17T14:41:37.134-06:002015-10-17T14:41:37.134-06:00I tried capsule wardrobing immediately after your ...I tried capsule wardrobing immediately after your previous post about it. I LOVE it (thank you for introducing me to the concept). Over the past year I've gotten less uptight/structured with it which has both benefits and drawbacks, but I'm still buying fewer new clothes, keeping fewer useless ones (although, let's face it, I might not wear it anymore, but there's no way I'm getting rid of the Yellowstone sweatshirt I bought on our honeymoon), and generally feeling less stressed about clothes.ladylynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975414639184224517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-75643143202522308402015-10-17T14:11:29.599-06:002015-10-17T14:11:29.599-06:00The problem I have with this whole idea is that I ...The problem I have with this whole idea is that I have what I would consider my "normal, everyday clothes" (t-shirts, shorts, jeans, etc.) and then I have my "business casual" (the stuff I would wear to work if I worked in an office or something like that), and then my "fancy" stuff (dresses for evening - not that we ever go anywhere where I would need it...). It doesn't include socks, shoes, underwear, gym clothes, or jammies. About 90% of the time, the weather where we live is the same: shorts weather, sunny. I'm a stay-at-home-mom so I wear shorts and t-shirts most of the time. I rotate them and get rid of things when they don't fit or become damaged. Pretty much everything resides in my closet. And it's not a total disaster (well, not from clothes anyway). <br /><br />Even when we lived in Wisconsin, I didn't switch out clothes for the seasons. It just seems strange to me to switch out things for the seasons....<br />Renee Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513788818111774118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-90473639668778997422015-10-17T11:59:19.683-06:002015-10-17T11:59:19.683-06:00I have a problem getting rid of clothes.

I always think I might lose weigh, or that, I am going to turn them into dog beds or toys,rugs, aprons, mops etc. you name it, but I never do..My" wardrobe' if you can call that a bunch of T-shirts just keep piling up. I have t-shirts to stay home, others to walk the dog, yet some more for gardening., and fancier ones to go to the mall or visit some friends. I own just one dress, but have many jackets and coats, that I should dispose of them. but some are too good to throw away, and some would be an insult t to bring them to the salvation Army. <br /><br />Your post has inspired me to purge my small closet and to get cracking with those dog beds...<br />Greetings from Alberta, Canada.<br />Minervita.Marisolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499306930386995876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-24008950979417190892015-10-17T10:22:26.693-06:002015-10-17T10:22:26.693-06:00I never understood why wardrobe space is such a bi...I never understood why wardrobe space is such a big issue in America. Maybe think twice before buying more clothes? Find a colour scheme that works for you and stick to it so that you don't have a bunch of stuff that doesn't match anything? I'm looking at my closet, which by the way is a piece of furniture, not like an entire small room... I think I've never had over 40 items at the same time, excluding socks and underwear. The cold season stuff goes on the coat hanger by the door, the summer stuff (when out of season) goes in a bag on the upper shelf of the closet, so do the sweaters in summer. All my clothes are bought exclusively based on need and they have to match any other stuff, except a few fancy items. I never had a space problem, a what-to-wear problem, or anyone saying I was badly dressed. Small or ugly clothes go to charity as soon as they are discovered. Ripped clothes get repaired or thrown away.BlackKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014093330317682849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-55712628534710046702015-10-17T09:56:21.114-06:002015-10-17T09:56:21.114-06:00I guess I have been doing this for some time.

I keep them because I will buy something new and something way back in the closest matches it perfectly!<br />Gramma's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989938887191987414noreply@blogger.com
