Hi! Yes! NYFW chaos is over and I am back to commenting regularly on the forum. Thanks for chiming in again.
I share a very small walk in wardrobe with Greg and do not swap out seasons. Everything is in my wardrobe apart from coats, underwear, socks and one ball gown. My 41 handbags are in there too, plus all my footwear, scarves and necklaces. We live in 1600 square feet so that should give you an idea of how small our walk in wardrobe is.
I never resell clothing. It's passed on to friends or charity.
I edit monthly. I edit a few things at a time and add in a few items at a time. I never buy lots of stuff at once. I really think about "the piece". The process stays very constant.
I replace basic white shirts and turtle necks fairly often. Can't stand them looking shabby as they are an integral part of my style and need to stay looking tip top.
I can't remember the last time I bought jeans. They last forever it seems - and I am much more into non-denim bottoms at the moment.
I practice the one in one out wardrobe principle so that my wardrobe does not overflow. I have a hard time tolerating clutter. It makes me feel out of control - and I am a complete control freak.
Some items last a season before I am sick of them, while others stay in my wardrobe for years. Some for close to a decade. I also have an 18 year old bag that I still wear.
My style mixes high and low end pieces. The stuff that I tire of more easily is the lower end stuff. But I like to reinvent my high end pieces with a new support act - like going to Zara and getting the new on trend blouse to wear with my golden oldie tuxedo blazer.
Hope that makes sense. It must sound like a rambling chaotic mess!! But the method seems to work for me.
