I used to have a lot of clothes, shoes and handbags but since retiring I have gradually pared them down, nothing wildly expensive but not budget range items. I never bought anything which was very expensive so I can understand reluctance to dispose of Burberry etc. I managed to limit winter clothing, bags and shoes to half our wardrobe and pack summer clothes away in a suitcase, DH does the same. We also have coats, jackets and out of season footwear and bags in a wardrobe in a spare bedroom. I disposed of clothing which was two sizes too big when I managed to convince myself that I wasn't going to pile on the 40 pounds I managed to lose. In the past few years I have managed to avoid end of season sales thus not buying things I don't really need and every few months I go through things in the wardrobe and dispose of things I haven’t worn for a while and am unlikely to wear in future. I can’t imagine having clothing to the value of £30,000, I would rather limit my wardrobe and spend any spare money on my family.
I agree Dragonfly, you certainly deserve a new size 12 wardrobe now the chemo is behind you.
