I like how Sharon put it: fashion is really performance art and is best worn. I do not have a problem with very large wardrobes, but this was excessive, imo. And it wouldn't matter whether the items were thrifted. I don't think that it's even healthy for the woman herself to have that much, regardless of how it could be seen to impact others (such as in resource distribution).
Anna, your shoecase is, I assume, in your condo and not in a separate building. I don't have a problem with maximal wardrobes—but the wardrobe in the video is beyond maximal. The line where something becomes "too much" will differ from person to person, but I am pretty confident that the line can be drawn before a person reaches a 3,000-sq-ft closet. And I wouldn't even mind if someone had enough pieces in their wardrobe to wear something different every day of the year. But this woman has so much in her closet that she could not even wear everything within her *lifetime*. That, to me, is what put this closet into "excessive" territory.
But I am very sad that Alicat has left. I know that I have occasionally posted threads that took a very different tangent than what I thought, and it can be hurtful. One of the things I really like about this forum is that there are a lot of differing viewpoints, but we all express our honest opinion—and we try to reason our opinion out. I think that's why this is such a healthy forum, imo.
