Okay wise ones, I've taken your advice and further sub-divided this collection. I was initially hesitant to do so, but as Angie notes, this is probably my most significant category of items because I wear them for such a long portion of the year.
This puts my three-season sweater collection at a downright reasonable 19 pieces, my transitional sweaters at a very reasonable 5 (given I also use t-shirts and blouses more frequently during this weather), and my toppers and light jackets at 7.
Now I actually feel like I could do with a few more three-season sweaters lol! And to Nemos point, these should NOT be navy crewnecks or burgundy v's or gray anything ha! I have a few sweaters that I feel should be workhorses but aren't - might give some thought to replacing these, but going to wait a while and see.
I now have:
- sweaters (fall/winter/spring)

- sweaters (transitional weather)

- toppers & light jackets

I'm still not 100% sure where the cardigans fit; the gray one I only wear in cold winter as it's loose enough to throw over even a sweater; the striped one is only transitional as it's fitted enough it needs to go over a sleeveless top. But for now they can stay with toppers.
