The jeans thread is making me nervous. I haven't got 15 pairs of any kind of trousers, let alone 15 pairs of jeans. How many of each thing, roughly, have you got in your wardrobe? I am not going up to look but I think I have got for everyday: about 6 pairs of trousery things, 1 pair jeans, 6 skirts, 1 dress. For going out I have a few other things but not many more. I am talking about things that fit me at my current size, not pregnancy or outgrown clothes.

I have loads of stuff that doesn't fit me, but the stuff that does is as follows

1 long black skirt
1 knee length black skirt
1 pair trousers
3 black fitted jumpers
1 green v neck jumper
2 vests.

Pitiful really, but I am not buying anything else, as I have just joined slimming world, and it's giving me a good incentive to fit into the stuff I used to wear

No I havent got loads. Ive got a cupboard full of stuff but I only wear a few items. Ive got 2 pairs of jeans and about4 tops that I wear regularly. A nice pair of trousers and a afew tops for going out. Alot of my clothes were for work which ive just given up and I could wear them but I still associate them with work and it doesnt feel right.

Miaou · 17/01/2006 13:14

I have got:

1 pair jeans
1 pair cords
1 long skirt
6 tops
1 cardigan
1 woolly jumper I knitted myself
1 pair walking shoes
1 pair suede slip-on shoes

And that is just about it! I also have a few maternity things I am hanging onto for now, and a huge pile of stuff to go to the charity shop because there's no way I'll ever get in them again!

Rhubarb · 17/01/2006 13:18

I've not got loads either. I have a pair of walking shoes that are at the end of their life, and a pair of suede type boots that I wear when I feel like being a bit dressy.
I have to share a small wardrobe with dh and I have one and a half of a set of drawers, also shared with dh, so I don't really have much at all. But it encourages imagination don't you think!

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 17/01/2006 13:23

I have

4 or 5 pairs of wearable jeans
2 pairs of cord trousers
3 pairs of combat type trousers
5 short skirts
2 denim skirts
3 long skirts
5 cardie type tops
about 20-25 t-shirts various colours and styles
5 long sleeved tops
8 jumpers

thats all i can remember for the moment...

Rhubarb · 17/01/2006 13:25

Do you actually go into your rooms to count or do you remember all of that?

waterfalls · 17/01/2006 13:25

I have next to nothing, when I do go clothes shopping I always manage to come back with tons of stuff for the kids (that they dont need) and ziltch for me.

fruitful · 17/01/2006 13:25

6 pairs of casual trousers (inc 2 jeans, 2 cords)
2 trouser suits
1 suit skirt and 1 long flowy smartish skirt
About 8 jumpers/cardigans
Loads of t-shirts, some of which are a bit smarter/dressier

And some summer stuff

When something falls apart or doesn't fit, I buy something new to replace it.

Sometimes I wish I had loads of trendy clothes but I know I'd still just where comfy trousers and jumpers all the time anyway.

fruitful · 17/01/2006 13:26

I just remembered, Rhubarb! Which probably means I've got loads of other stuff that I never wear and can't remember.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 17/01/2006 13:27

I am in my bedroom at the moment so only had too look around me. And my mil took me clothes shopping on sunday and bought me loads.

My Pj collection is embarrassing - I have 6 pairs of pjs, about 4 pairs of short and vest sets and more nighties than i can remember I love getting new jammies!

SnowmAngeliz · 17/01/2006 13:29

i have just got 7 Sainsburies bags FULL of clothes for the charity box. I have been ruthless today i am SICK of my room looking like a jumble sale

Enid · 17/01/2006 13:31

no I dont have many clothes

am ruthless about chucking/charitying/flogging on ebay

puff · 17/01/2006 13:34

No, my wardrobe is basic because I am still losing weight (lost loads already), so plan to splurge when I get to size 12. gave away about 7 bin bags of clothes to charity shop last year.

Currently have:

2 jeans
2 smart trousers
3 skirts
4 smart tops
4 t shirts
3 jumpers
1 casual jacket
1 smart coat
1 rainproof coat

do have lots of shoes and boots, but bought over a long period of time

I do have tons and tons of cosmetics though!

puff · 17/01/2006 13:35

oh, plus my gym wardrobe, but that doesn't really count

KateMossinredredskinnypants · 17/01/2006 19:44

I have been shopping quite a lot over the past 2 - 3 months, after realising I may never fit into my old clothes again.
So far I have got,
6 longsleeved tops,
8 t-shirts,
5 new pairs of jeans, (love jeans)
4 skirts,(knee-length)
3 blouses,
2 belts,
4 new jumpers,
4 cardigans,
5 long coat-style cardigans
3 hooded tops,
3 dresses,
1 winter coat,
1 jacket,
1 smart jacket,
2pairs of combats,
2 pairs of long shorts,
I think that is it.
They all fit me.

lucykate · 17/01/2006 20:04

hana · 17/01/2006 20:06
