Curious how others reach the point where they realize they have enough clothes in their closet.
I am planning my fall wardrobe and I think I have enough clothes and shoes, but I'm realizing that its fun buying new things!! (I've been pretty frugal in this area, but have been indulging a bit lately while planning for fall/winter)
I work in an office anywhere from 3-5 days per week, so my clothing has to be a certain level of quality for that.
I like to have enough clothes that I have variety and choices, but I am also practical and do not like to have things in my closet that I never wear, don't fit, etc.
This fall, I think I need to focus on items that coordinate with several other pieces in my wardrobe, so I can create multiple outfits out of fewer clothes.
For Fall/Winter, I am focusing on 5 major colors: black, white, gray, brown, and light blue. White and light blue look best on me, and they can go with black, brown, or gray.
I have 1/2 dozen scarves in different colors/patterns, so these will be used to add a bit of interest/brightness to the 5 basic colors.
Maybe I need to spend some more time creating different outfits rather than indulging my desire to buy more clothes.
How do you manage/plan your wardrobe?
Hmmm....most women NEVER reach the point of believing they have ENOUGH of anything (fashion wise). Including myself.
However, if I have clothes that still have tags on them, then that is a sure sign that I should stop shopping for that season.
Staples in one's (women) closet (for the office): Black suit, white button-down dress blouse, girly blouse (with some ruffles, etc...), black slacks, black pumps, black dress, black and/or tan trench, cardigan, pencil skirt, flats, blazer, belt(s)/wide for dress/or skirt and thin for slacks, black and white T's (put under a blazer w/skirt or suit, accessories (long necklace (pearl, watch, etc..), hoop and stud earrings), boots.......Happy shopping!
When I don't have any money left in my account for discretionary spending, that is when I know I bought enough clothes...for the short term. I dread putting clothes away because my closet and dresser and half dresser are crammed-and that's just with summer clothes! All of my autumn clothes are still boxed up. Lately I've gotten into the habit of donating one piece of clothing for every piece I buy just so I'll have room to store new clothes.
I guess I'm one of the few women out there that dreads shopping and doesn't have seasonal wardrobes
I have 5 pairs of plain black Dickies work pants that I wear to work, same shoes, and I usually just wear a colored tank top with a black v neck shirt over it. On the weekends, it's jeans, Chuck Taylors and a shirt or sweater depending on the weather. I rarely wear jewelry, and don't really 'accessorize'. On the of chance I do have to dress up, I have a few vintage style dresses with backseam stockings and heels. Simple.
I have a weirdly shaped body so going clothes shopping always sucks. I rarely find anything that fits me right, even after tailoring.

I don't usually enjoy shopping. It is especially hard when I need a certain item, like a dress for an occasion. I never find anything when I go looking for it. I've been wearing capri pants and solid color t-shirts with flip flops all summer. Simple and comfortable.
OH, I thought this was some kind of trick question.
I guess when you don't have anymore money to spend on clothing that's when you have enough. Seriously, I try, but it's an addiction. But I don't shop anywhere near what I did years ago, now I've only got one or two things in my closet that have had tags on them for more than a year.
...When the rack in my closet collapses. (Well, that happened once.)
These days, I go through my clothes seasonally, especially if I or someone else buys more clothes and I can't fit them in my drawer. Whatever I no longer wear/doesn't fit, is either donated or thrown out, depending on the condition.
Hah, never!!
I won't ever use credit to buy clothing though, unless I find myself in a situation where I'm in dire need of clothing, like if my luggage got lost.
