do i have too many clothes?!?

Answer 1

No, I probably out do this by huge proportions, but..
I have some clothes that I've had for almost 5 years now.
I wear a lot of pieces that stay in style (my style) for atleast a year or two.
Then once a year I go on a rampage, bag up 1/4 of my closet (usually atleast 3 garbage bags) and let my friends claw eachother up, over it.

I have an addiction, and its a constant want of the perfect wardrobe. I never get there though.

Answer 2

That doesnt even cover half my wardrobe! When you get older, you'll see that clothes shopping becomes a necessity (not just a fun activity). I have categories of clothes: business (for work), social, casual, church (mainly dresses and skirts), weekend wear (shorts, tanks), excercise wear...etc. Not too mention the types of shoes that goes with each category. I have to admit I have my main closet in the bedroom, I took over the closet in the guest room and I use a hall closet for my extra shoes and accessories!

My clothes are always in rotation (I wear them all the time) but if you find that there are pieces you havent worn since at least one season ago (and its now the second season), give it away. Most likely, you'll probably never wear them again.

So I'll give you a thumbs up if you gave those clothes you cleaned out today to a deserving charity. Im sure there's someone who would be happy to have it!

Answer 3

God's word says if you have 2 Shirts give the other one away to someone who has none. I've had quite a bit of clothes and my work gives me 5 new shirts every year. I probably have about 40 shirts, 10 Pants, 3 sweatshirts, 2 jackets, a few pairs of shoes, a dress jacket, 5 or six belts, 3 ties, socks, a weeks worth underwear. I'd like to get down to 5 nice outfits, a couple sweathirts a jacket and one or two pair of dress clothes. Shoes as needed (as they wear out).

Answer 4

Umm :) It's not too many , but it's cool enough for U to change, I have like:
40 short-sleeve shirts/tank tops
15 long sleeved shirts
15 pants
15 shorts/skirts
30 pairs of shoes !!
(I think it's on the avarege :)

Answer 5

yes, i think that you should have enough outfits to where one a week or maybe a week and a half without having to do laundry. as you donate clothes or out grow them, then you can by new ones. for shoes thats kind of a different story. if you know that you haven't worn them in a long time and most likely won't again then toss 'em. there is no reason why you should have extras.
I hope that this clothes solution works for you!

Answer 6

i have about 10 pairs of jeans, 10 sweatshirts, 2 skirts, 8 pairs of shoes, 35 long sleeve tees and 5 hoodies, 10 pairs of shorts, 1 tube top, 5 tank tops, 3 pairs of sweatpants, 3 bikinis, and 3 hats.......... IS THAT too MANY???? :)

Answer 7

Yes. I have four pairs of jeans. Haha. But I'm seriously jean-deprived. Except I don't have any money. And my parents make me pay for my clothes. And I'm too young to have a job.

Answer 8

That definetely is not too many clothes...you don't want to be one of those people who are seen in the same thing all the time.

Answer 9

Well its a lot for me but im still growing so i dont have A LOT of clothes cause i outgrow them quickly, although i do have enough to last me,

Answer 10

too many. but it greatly helped others if you share and give all your excess clothing to those people who are in need. God definitely will give you three folds of blessings you more than expected. Share it to beggars, charities, etc.
