I just started buying new hangers and replacing my old ones so they all would match. It occurred to me that one way to decide how many clothes you would have would be to limit your hangers. You could decide to have x hangers for tops, x for dresses, etc., and if you bought something new you would have to eliminate something old. Has anyone done something like this?

I've done similar things in other areas of my life - I have a hard limit on number of books I own - if they don't fit on my current bookshelves I have to get rid of something. I cheat a little with a pile on my nightstand and library books, but generally it works pretty well. Every so often I go through and have a cull and resort everything, much like I do with my wardrobe, but my clothes seem to expand much quicker these days.
