For those who are interested, here's the second part of my analysis of a year's worth of wardrobe counting which discusses bottoms. You can read the first part about tops here: A Year In Numbers Part 1
6 Skirts
Total number: 10. Too many for my use, but I like some variety. I'd probably be more than happy with six pieces.
Top three:
Black winter wool midi pencil (14)
Black A-line skirt, cotton (10)
Black pencil skirt, tropical wool (9)
Wow! All black. I do need a black skirt, but surely I need to change this up a bit.
Least worn:
Sand pencil skirt (1)
Denim A-line skirt (0)
White full cotton skirt (0)
The sand skirt is not very exciting. The denim skirt is an old favorite that I love, but it has been a bit out of fashion. I'm holding on to it one more year, but then it's over. I prefer the cream midi plissé skirt I bought this spring over it. Will be purged.
7 Dresses
Total number: 12. No need to add to this category.
Most worn:
Striped hwite/black sundress (11)
Mustard/black hound tooth sheath (9)
Navy short sleeved sheath (7)
Not a great dress year. I think it partly is because I don't feel my fit-and-flares as much any longer.
Least worn:
Black retro shirtdress (1)
Red fit-and-flare dress (1)
Purple sheath (0)
I prefer trousers and jeans to dresses right now. The purple sheath is great, but was a tad too tight. That is not the case any longer, so it stays.
8 Jeans, trousers and shorts
Total numbers: 15. 7 casual jeans/pants, 4 dressy trousers, 3 shorts, 1 track pant. These are all in regular rotation besides one pair of shorts. I think this category is in great condition.
Most worn:
White jeans (38)
Dark blue jeans (37)
Black skinny pants (36)
No surprises here. I also wear my navy smart casual trousers a lot, and I have a navy bermuda shorts that I lived in this summer. My light wash boyfriends are right up there, too. I'm thinking of adding another pair of white jeans, maybe in a boyfriend style.
Least worn:
Gray trousers (7)
Olive shorts (2)
-
I like all the pieces in the pants section of my wardrobe. If anything Id like to replace the gray trousers eventually, but there's no rush.
