Hi Fabbers, well after over 5 years of trying I have winnowed my wardrobe down to 150 pieces from the 200 I started with. I know we all count (that is if we count, some do some don’t) differently- like I don’t count bags because except for special occasions like weddings I use the same one every day. When it dies after a few years I buy a different one. I count tops, bottoms, toppers, dresses and shoes. I don’t count underwear or swimsuits or gear- which I don’t have much of, just a couple old t-shirts and leggings.
I feel I have done this pretty sustainably as for 5 years I have also been working on wearing everything at least 30 times before considering editing it out.
The Fabbers who have followed my travails with this know that I used to keep too much that I wasn’t wearing- partly due to my “deep wide sentimental streak” as described by one kind Fabber!
This year have edited out 5 items so far, all at over 30 wears, and put another 4 in dress-ups. Brought 7 in: 2 were gifts.
Thought I would share!
Should I make a new goal?!
