AIBU to think we all have too many clothes?

I’ve come back from my holiday and done the laundry and vacuumed packed my summer clothes. I wouldn’t say I buy clothes that often but I’ve brought out my winter stuff and I am OVERWHELMED by the amount of things I own and I don’t even like most of it!!

Any advice on how to streamline this?

I don’t wear anything in my wardrobes . I only wear things off the pile 😂

Sort everything into category long sleeved tops, short sleeved tops, skirts, trousers etc.

Count how many of each. Pick out the best half. Donate the other half.

If you're nervous, put them in a box for a year before donating.

Reduce your cupboard space. I have 3 shelves. They are 50 cm. High 30 cm. They hold all my everyday clothes - it works fine.
