Please post pics when you get it.</p> <p>I counted 21 dresses for all four seasons (alas 5 are dressier than I usually need - I love dressy dresses more than I need dressy dresses), 6 skirts (four are very seasonal), and 6 slacks (all black! varied in fabric, length, leg width).</p> <p>I can hardly wait for a closet pic thread - I just spent the better part of Monday in my closet trying to make it organized, appealing, and less crowded (hate smashed clothes). I did better, but need more space or less clothes and neither will probably happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-146142 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 21:18:27 +0000 Vani 146142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Prior to YLF I owned only 2 dresses - bought out of sheer necessity for office xmas parties. They only got worn once each. I've been meaning to ask you ladies about the future of those two. Now apart from those 2, I have 6 reg dresses + 1 party dress (all post-YLF) and covet and hope to own many, many more </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-146134 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 21:09:05 +0000 April 146134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, Taylor. I have one thing I want to fix in my closet before I start The Closet Thread, and then let the games begin... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-146086 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:43:09 +0000 taylor 146086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I would post a photo or 2 of my closet. :)<br /> I honestly wear dresses or skirts almost exclusively from spring through fall , and that can be about 6 months here. And a several days a week in winter with tights when I work, otherwise I am in denim a couple days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-146084 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:37:34 +0000 AJ 146084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those of you who have 20 or more dresses, are they mostly dry clean or machine washable? </p> <p>We do need to start a closet thread because I want a peek at these closets that hold 30+ dresses!! (Maybe that will also get me to finish cleaning out mine!) : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-146023 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:36:48 +0000 JuliaInGermany 146023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I can easily believe this. What I heard about American closets... Even the mere thought of a walk-in-closet is mind boggling to me. </p> <p>It's very good though that now I have a notion about what you call a small wardrobe. It makes me realize that the problems I have with making mine work are probably due to the fact that I really don't have anything to wear. I'll mend that soon, I hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145993 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:49:52 +0000 Queen Mum 145993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>10 dresses, 0 slacks.<br /> I hope to double my dress collection over the course of the next year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145985 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:39:26 +0000 Laura 145985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 41! (Shout out to fellow dress fanatic Kristen!) I should mention that includes all seasons -- and I have only one skirt and no dress pants. I wear either a dress or jeans every day. In the summer, it's a dress, clams or bermuda shorts. Pretty simple </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145979 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:23:53 +0000 Angie 145979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pregnantmom, believe it or not, I have fewer wardrobe items than most of my clients! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145970 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:11:39 +0000 Sarah 145970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Twenty?

I recently did a major re-org of my closet and now I have a much better handle on what I have.</p> <p>I have 3 dresses (not counting party dresses)<br /> 5 skirts<br /> 3 pairs jeans plus one pair white jeans<br /> 1 pair cords<br /> 2 pairs capris<br /> unknown shorts: 5 maybe?<br /> 6 pairs dress pants</p> <p>and many many many tops (tshirts, blouses etc), and about a dozen cardigans and 3 blazers. Oh, and 2 trench coats, 3 leather jackets (unlined) and 5 winter coats (a few leather and a few wool). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145932 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:42:25 +0000 Debora 145932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not nearly enough! Maybe 5 or 6 for summer and 2 ponte knit ones for winter. I really want to add to my summertime wardrobe of dresses and now that I've found boots, I think I'll feel more comfortable wearing winter dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145912 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:33:19 +0000 An 145912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 for me:<br /> 2 black jersey - 1 sleeveless, 1 short sleeved<br /> 1 grey jersey short sleeved<br /> 1 grey jersey 3/4 sleeved wrap<br /> 1 black shirt dress</p> <p>2 more that don't fit at the moment - hanging out til I get rid of the baby flab (I wonder how long I can blame the baby for??!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145909 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:05:06 +0000 Dawn 145909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I own around 20 dresses- I stopped counting a long time ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145908 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:00:15 +0000 alicabacon 145908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not know exact number, they might be between 40 to 50<br /> need to count actually, and not remembering all of them now.</p> <p>but they are not enough, i want more and more dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145905 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 10:52:09 +0000 Kristen 145905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am the "winner" (she said dubiously) of this category: I have over 40 dresses.</p> <p>Now, I am also between sizes and my seasons range widely, so there are always at least a dozen that can't be worn at any moment. </p> <p>On the flip side, I own 2 pairs of pants (one is part of a suit), 2 pairs of jeans, and 3 skirts (two of which are too big).</p> <p>April, I didn't own ANY dresses before I joined YLF either. Funny thing what a good style site and losing significant weight will do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145890 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 09:50:12 +0000 JuliaInGermany 145890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Angie, I have often wondered what you mean when you're talking/writing about your "small" wardrobe. Wow, 21 dresses (plus slacks and the 10 pairs of jeans you mentioned in one of your posts.... *pregnantmom is doing the math*...) Ok, I have long had the feeling, that my wardrobe is MUCH too small and now I feel confident that I am right. Compared to your wardrobe mine is practically non-existent. I need to go shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have/page/2#post-145888 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 09:46:21 +0000 April 145888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Angie, I figured that with dresses in heavy rotation, something else would give. </p> <p>Taylor, we want photos of your closet! Seriously, if I start that closet thread that I keep threatening, would you be willing to post a photo or two? </p> <p>I'm finding this thread very interesting. Thank you all for counting up. My conclusion so far is -- I need more dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145874 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:32:20 +0000 Louise 145874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6 though 3 need to be worn with leggings x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145869 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:46:31 +0000 anne 145869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just went and counted</p> <p>Ten or Eleven comprising<br /> -2 new sweater dress<br /> -1 sheath<br /> the rest more or less sundresses</p> <p>1 pair of non jeans trousers (leaving aside those worn purely around the house) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145859 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:12:42 +0000 RoseandJoan 145859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not enough April, I have;<br /> 1 jersey dress used for loungewear<br /> 1 vintage tea dress<br /> 1 Chloe day dress (10 years old)<br /> 1 ink blue dress I wear for nights out.<br /> 1 black dress used for work</p> <p>I will hopefully add some more this summer.</p> <p>I have two pairs of non jeans trousers and about seven skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145833 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:24:58 +0000 LoP 145833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't keep much in my closet. Things I don't wear get sold or given away. So I have a limited selection (I think!).</p> <p>Dresses: I have 4 that I wear as tunics, and 6 (3 black) that are wearable without leggings. 1 cocktail dress.</p> <p>Slack that aren't jeans: 5 black at different dressiness levels and lengths, 3 navy in different patterns, 2 khaki and 1 orange. They are all all season for where I leave so they are in constant rotation.</p> <p>Skirts other than denim skirts: 2 black (1 summer+1 winter), 1 green (winter), 1 navy polka dot (summer), 1 brown flower pattern(summer), 1 abstract pattern (summer)</p> <p>I have way too many tops&amp;cardigans&amp;camisoles&amp;accessories to mix and match with the bottoms.</p> <p>EDIT: I forgot to ask: Do I have too much of one thing? My color grouping are also very clustered around some colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145831 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:04:23 +0000 cyan45 145831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 sheath<br /> 8 matte jersey (5 prints, 4 solid)<br /> 1 shirt dress<br /> 1 short cotton dress<br /> 1 sweater dress<br /> 2 ponte knit </p> <p>= 16 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145799 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 03:08:45 +0000 cciele 145799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an interesting thread :)</p> <p>I am thankful to have a good-sized walk-in closet. Half of it is my clothes, the other half is DH's (a few of my things spill over onto his side, heehee). I don't have much drawer space though.</p> <p>I own four pairs of non-jean pants: the Anthro sky check, the Express check, INC ponte, and Diesel cargo-y pants. Marianna -- I have a lot more denim too as far as bottoms go; I totally understand :)</p> <p>I basically have no skirts (returned the two I had recently, and I might have a couple in the closet that haven't been worn in 15 years ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145789 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:53:43 +0000 marianna 145789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a dress girl nor a slack girl... uh oh! I have one pair of black slacks that I never wear. I'm addicted to denim... My skirt collection is growing slowly though... I have three pencil skirts that I love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145762 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:12:00 +0000 Anonymous 145762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fun! I've got 10 dresses. Of those only 2 are not sheath style, and half are black. Another is such a dark navy that it might as well be black. One is a sweater dress and another two have 3/4 sleeves while the rest are sleeveless. One is a print that is reversible to a different print in different colors so maybe it should be counted as 2 dresses. Doing this exercise has shown that someone needs to keep me from accumulating any more black dresses unless I get rid of 2 or 3.<br /> Pants that aren't jeans: maybe two that fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145754 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:02:14 +0000 taylor 145754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 cigarette 2 slacks....38 skirts I clearly don't like slacks on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145752 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:00:19 +0000 puffenstuff 145752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not enough dresses (I think it's only about 10) and I only wear trousers to work so I only have 3 of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-dresses-do-you-have#post-145751 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:59:50 +0000 Maya 145751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and I are pant twins Angie. I only have the CM pants and the BR Martins and have no plans to add more. I am not a pants person at all.</p> <p>I have lots of skirts and I love them all but I think it's time to cull some of them. Most of them are orphans due to my lack of appropriate tops I'm also probably going to toss my walk shorts, pedal pushers, and other short summer pants as well. That will make room for my expanding frock collection! </p>
