Congratulations on your new job! I hope you find the change invigorating and challenging.
@JenJBS Thank you! I am very excited!!
@More bags Thanks!! I most definitely will. One of the reasons I quit my current job was feeling stagnant. New job will definitely be challenging, but a welcome challenge!
As for paring down my closet, I decided to get rid of only three scarves. Two I will give to a woman I work with who loves scarves, and the other was too expensive to give away so I will try to sell it. I never even wore it once! Didn't make it to jewelry, so will try that tonight.

are similar indeed, sorry if I got confused by the title of the other one thinking it’s “closet” as the storing space itself and not so much discussion but “show”! And I was hoping this could be more discussion and support and advice on building a minimalist wardrobe . But I can see the content is quite similar
Thanks! It's a screen shot of my ipad, I use an app called stylebook that stores all pics of my wardrobe. It is so much easier to plan purchases and weekly dressing!
I received my glasses organizer in the mail today and designated a drawer for my glasses! So now in the morning when I pick what glasses I want to wear, I have them all at a glance instead of hidden in their cases and me trying to dig through the mess that was on top of my dresser to find the pair I am thinking of. I have contacts, but rarely wear them because I love how I can accessorize my outfit with my different glasses. Next up is cleaning and organizing the top of my dresser, which includes jewelry. I have procrastinated, but will do this tomorrow as I'm off work.
(The left row is all Rx, but the only sunglass that is Rx is on the right second from the top. The other three are plano for when I wear my contacts.)

Do you wear pullovers / sweaters / cardigans?
I find them convenient and easy to wear but at the same time for me it´s difficult to look chic with them. I´m always debating between a classic straight fit and a more trendy oversize / large sleeves
I just put an image from last year. its not showing my drawer chest though (with pullovers / tshirts / underwear)
This year I have something similar but a nicer clothes rack in wood, with boxes underneath to store pullovers, tshirts, gym wear, shoes, underwear. Also I take out 2 seasons at the time : spring/summer & fall/winter, and store the rest.
Although some items are out all year round...living in Scandinavia.

The only items I have in that category are my Dior (Homme) pullovers in grey and black.
Otherwise I’ve found I love doing a heat tech crew neck under a blazer to stay extremely warm and still look chic. The pullovers I wear to the most casual settings.. ie getting a pedicure etc...

So I did go through my scarves. Gave two to a woman at work who loves scarves and will sell one of the more expensive ones. Went through my jewelry as well and got rid of close to half. Also purchased a new jewelry stand (for everything except my long necklaces). It's so much nicer to look at compared to the old clunky one I had.
