I’m ashamed to say…..

I’m making my way slowly through wardrobes and cupboards and I’m shocked! I’m hoping I’m not the only one? I sorted out coats and I have the grand total of 32 coats left after consigning 6 to charity shops although they still fit me and look ok. This isn’t jackets or gilets or anything else either.

I’m going to start on boots next - not shoes, sandals or other kinds, just boots, and know I’ll have dozens. I’m ashamed as I’ve always spent a lot of money on clothes but we hardly go out nowadays so I never wear anything!

Then there’s dresses, evening dresses, skirts, trousers, leggings, jumpers, cardigans on and in ad infinitum.. Please tell me I’m not the only one? The charity shops in our small market town are bursting at the seams, nothing seems to sell well on Vinted, I don’t know what to do! I think I need someone like Gok Wan to come and be ruthless with me. Oh, just remembered, tons more up in the loft as well!

35 coats and 132 skirts is impressive!

I’ve got several coats that I’ve never even worn. I bought a Laura Ashley coat in a sale 20+ years ago to replace my much loved long grey winter coat but continued to wear old faithful and still do. And pre pandemic was terrible for buying bargain coats in sales. I once took a coat that I was still wearing to a charity shop and they refused it because it was too shabby blush
I tend to wear the same things for months on end and will often start wearing something that I haven’t worn for years. I’ve got wardrobes full of clothes that have never been worn, especially as, since the pandemic started I’ve hardly done anything except walk the dog.
