Does anyone else buy things that don't match anything they own? And then think, oh, I'll find a blouse that goes with this skirt, and you never do, but you can't quite bring yourself to get rid of the skirt just yet.

I try never to do that anymore, but it doesn't always work.

My clothing organization system as far as it goes: I have a small walk-in closet in my bedroom. On side has pants, skirts, dresses on it. The other side had tops and jackets. Shelves above for scarves, some hooks for belts, bags accessories. A dress outside the closet for undies, socks, swimsuits, yoga stuff, pjs. Closet in the spare room has whatever is out of season...I trade stuff in and out twice a year.

Truth is there's usually a laundry basket with a big pile of clothes on top of it on the floor, which I pick through in the morning.

I try to be ruthless about purging clothes on a semi-regular basis. Often I am more less than ruth. But it does help a bit with space. There is only one thing I have ever regretted purging...a black wool dress. Otherwise I always find it freeing to get rid of stuff. I also try to go through phases where I don't let myself buy any more clothes unless I have to. I have two closets full of clothes...I can probably find something to wear.

That is one thing I am pretty good about, most of my clothes go with each other. Looking at my wardrobe, you would think I spent a lot of time in resorts or on cruises or something - everything can be put into little mix-and-match sets to cover several days with a few pieces. Somehow it all adds up to way too much clothing, even so.

OTOH, I haven't bought new clothes or even wished I had something I didn't have in rather a while, so maybe this is exactly the right amount of clothes for me.

Often I am more less than ruth.

Heh. I love this.

I purged so much stuff before we moved. And right now I can feel the things I didn't wear all winter sitting there, judging, taking up room. I try to purge every time I switch over, and it's been incredibly freeing to do it every time.

"Someone is wrong on the Internet." Someone tell me to let it go.

I feel like the closet in my bedroom is big, but that's just because it's about twice as wide as the basically door-width closet I grew up with. So I have that and a dresser and a small set of shelves with sweaters in it, and that's where my clothes are. And I'm still getting rid of stuff I don't wear!

I haven't been able to do a proper wardobe purge in almost 2 years due to being pregnant and not wearing anything but maternity clothes. In theory, I do the thing where once a year I turn all the hangers in my closet backwards, and only turn them around again once I've worn that piece of clothing so it's easy to see at a glance what I haven't worn in a year and get rid of that. In practice, I wear about 5% of the clothes I own and ignore the rest in hopes that they will go away on their own.

I am the unpurger. I have clothes that I've owned for more than 20 years, and as long as they keep fitting, I probably will. But I've been lucky to be close enough to the same size since the end of university. The clothes I have from when I gained weight I can probably get rid of, but part of me is sure I'm going to gain weight again, eventually, and I liked them...which is pretty stupid.

I lost a bunch of clothes in Katrina, and although I could tell you only two or three precise pieces, I miss them terribly. Also, considering the amount of time it's been since I did *all* my laundry, well, I'm overstocked. But I still want it all.

I'm pretty sure I let the tea store rob me. On the other hand, the jasmine dragon pearls smell *really* nice. I am looking forward to this cuppa.

I sorted the spreadsheet for my sister and didn't mention to her it was trivial. Because I'm passivecool like that.

I still look at stuff I haven't worn in years, and think, but I might!

Gimme half an excuse to bust out the leather pants, and I will. It has easily been 15+ years since I last did. That half excuse is elusive.

Why am I looking at pictures of Batman/Superman wondering if they'd really leave on that much of their costumes? Characterisation? ita? Really?
