At least 150-200 and that doesn't even seem like very much to me.:shame:

EDIT: i just went to look in my closet, i think i was grossly underestimating my number of pieces LOL. I counted 50 summer dresses alone and that's not even half my summer wardrobe. My winter wardrobe is double my summer one(since we have long winters where i live) so i would say i have at least 300. You don't realize how much you really have until you actually go and count.

When I had over 200 I always thought I had nothing to wear!!

I was aiming for 1000.

Now I'm down to 50 I always have something to wear - I just had loads of pieces that I didn't wear.

I think my mother, sister and late aunt have over 1000 pieces!!

Just don't get rid of any pieces you might regret - I've sold some lovely things on eBay that I subsequently regretted and then replaced with virtually the same thing!!!

Lesson - be Sure you will never wear it again - my other family members hardly throw anything at all and are perfectly happy.

We are all different!:cool:

To be honest I have no idea! And I don't think I can count all in a short space of time. I guess too many is the answer. Whenever the season changes, I took them out and throw away things I haven't worn for a while but the pile doesn't seem to reduce at all. But I think I am buying at a much slower speed. I reckon I have 300+ items.

I would estimate that I have 200-250 articles of clothing, but I will be brave and count when I get home tonight. ;) Do camisoles count, or would that fall in the "underwear" exclusion?

I just know I have way too much. Every year I do a closet cleanout, I always manage to fill up 2-3 very large moving boxes full of clothes, I first let my friends take their picks, then the rest goes to my local goodwill. I noticed a common trend amongst the pieces I typically toss: the fast fashion from F21 or H&M, needless to say I severely limited myself from those stores.

In my 20s I was very minimalist and had a similar number - when I hit my thirties my wardrobe went crazy but I don't think my mum could keep up with the washing if I narrowed it down that far...

And there are always new things that I want...

I don't want a lot of clothes. I feel no need when I own a lot of accessories. As for laundry, my load is small, quick and effortless. I like to keep it simple.

Thank you! I love all that I own and wear every item.
I try to buy all season pieces in neutral colors with no prints, so less thought is involved, but a couple of my skirts is mainly spring/summer and maybe fall season. I find as I get older, I have less need to own a lot, but I have a bad habit of owning a lot of accessories and I love to mix it up.

I am sure there are ladies here that do. I know I have at least 50 DVF dresses alone. My closet is 202 sq. ft. and it is now overflowing. I am going to need to start going through my clothes and get rid of the things I am not going to wear. While 50 items wouldn't work for me I know that I have too much and need to get back to a manageable amount.

megt10! I would love to dig into your closet! Would you reconsider those handbags that I really liked and would love to get from you? They are so beautiful!:graucho:

I don't have a lot of clothes, maybe 50 pieces total if you exclude things like socks. I still don't even wear it all, there's maybe 10-15 things that I actually wear regularly. I have a tiny little closet thats about two feet across and I can't even fill it.

Aww, thanks so much for the offer;) I still love them all. I do plan to go through my closet soon though and get rid of a lot of stuff I am not likely to wear. When saying I had at least 50 DVF dresses I decided to count and the amount was over 100 and that was just for the hanging dresses from DVF. I have many other dresses that are sweater dresses and they are folded in a drawer. On the up side dress are the main staple of my wardrobe. So I have more of them than anything else.

I did a little bit of a closet clean out as I switched my clothes from summer to fall. I didn't exactly count since I was scared of the number but it feels like a high amount. I own a lot of basic essentials in colors I like. My problem is I tend to buy a lot of the same types of clothing in various colors since I love colors. I'm trying to not buy so many of the trendy pieces since those are the ones I give away the most.
