I have too many clothes. I can’t see the wood for the trees.
I lack proper storage space in my house so lots of clothes are piled up in boxes and not laid out well. It makes getting dressed feel overwhelming as I have too much stuff and I can’t see it all, I forget what I have and I have too many things to properly know what goes well with what. This means I often put on an outfit, realise it’s not quite right but don’t have time to change, so end up feeling rubbish all day. Or I just reach for my faithful leggings and sweater again & again.
I have a charity shop/bargain/Vinted addiction, so while I have some fantastic individual items, overall my wardrobe is a random mish-mash of different styles. Lots of things that don’t go and lots of stuff not suitable for my lifestyle.
I’m not actually sure what my style is, but I WFH full time, live in the countryside so spend a lot of time walking in mud, in the garden etc. So I have little need for the nice dresses and shoes I am drawn to.
I’m seriously considering selling / donating the majority of my clothes. Just keeping a few practical and nice things that I genuinely need & love. Then to the extent I need something like say a nice dress for a wedding I’ll just buy one off Vinted, wear it, then sell it on. I simply don’t need a wardrobe full of going out dresses these days sitting gathering dust.
I’ve put some stuff on Vinted & already made over £100 in two days. (Most of my stuff is sought after brands, and I price to sell as a lot of it was second hand in the first place so I’m not too fussed about how much I get for it. I also donate to charity.)
The money will be useful with increased cost of living.
Anyone else done this or is tempted?!
