For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a large wardrobe. I’ve always adhered to the “more is better” philosophy when it comes to my clothes. Much of my over-shopping in my adult life can be attributed to my wanting to dress well, as I thought a full closet was part and parcel of being stylish.
Whenever I felt less than chic, I assumed a shopping trip was in order to add new fabulous and trendy pieces to my wardrobe. This regular practice has led me to where I am today, with a packed closet of over 300 pieces, most of which have been purchased during the last three years. While I have been diligent at doing regular closet audits, my continuous shopping has generally replaced all of my discarded items – and then some!

A large wardrobe does not automatically make you stylish!
