I have read a few closet inventory posts and was fascinated by them. It was so interesting to find out how many items of each type of clothing another blogger had.
Of course I was always surprised at some numbers, whether they were low or high. I haven’t had the desire to do one, because I wasn’t curious about my wardrobe. I wear the stuff everyday, it all fits well into my closet and dresser, why worry about it? Then I read Kate’s inventory and it just got me thinking. So without further ado:
Tops
tanks/sleeveless: 19
short sleeve: 20
3/4 sleeve: 13
long sleeve: 14
button up: 20
sweaters: 30
cardigans: 16
TOTAL: 132
Bottoms
jeans: 9
colored jeans/skinny cords: 8
ankle/capri: 3
dress pants: 6
skirts: 20
TOTAL: 46
Dresses
maxi: 2
formal: 3
sweater: 3
sheath: 3
casual: 15
TOTAL: 26
Shoes
flats: 17
heels/wedges: 10
sandals: 5
boots: 10
athletic: 2
TOTAL: 45
Outerwear
vests: 9
heavy coats: 4
light coats: 6
blazers: 12
TOTAL: 31
TOTAL ITEMS: 280
I didn’t count camis, athletic wear, lounge wear, or pajamas. For shoes, that means I didn’t count my 3 pairs of tennis shoes for road races, running, and yard work. The only sweatshirts I included are the ones that are embellished. And I didn’t even want to touch my accessories or I would have been counting all night!
I am not really shocked by the number and there aren’t really any areas that I seemed to have tons of items in. Well, besides sweaters but come on, I live in Wisconsin! Totally justified. It would be cool to get the number down to 250, but when I was counting there were only a few things that stuck out to me as things I didn’t wear or care about. Given the fact that I have already been getting rid of things for the past few months, I am not sure if getting it down to 250 is reasonable for me. I wish I would have done this before blogging because I have a feeling it would be so different. I think a lot of the areas have changed (especially button ups) since starting blogging and reading more blogs.
