Complete the following statement: “The biggest problem with managing my wardrobe is that __________.”I love my clothes, and I love variety! I love beautiful fabrics and love picking out what colors and pieces to put together. I was in the clothing business for years, making custom clothing. I have a lot of d garments that I designed. especially for my body, and some because I enjoy wearing the color or fabric, or get a kick out of the design details.. Clothing for me is a form of self-expression as well as a way to help myself feel good. The consequence of this is too many clothes for the space I have and I save dated or damaged garments in order to cut them apart to be made into new creations.
What specific categories or types of clothing do you most struggle to manage?Shoes! My feet are very difficult to fit. As a result, I have a lot of shoes that almost fit, but have to be alternated with different shoes to avoid hurting my feet as much. It is not uncommon for me to have spare shoes tucked in my bag when I go to all day events.

It Takes Two to Tango: Duplicates
Much that appears to be excess is because one doesn't do the entire job. "This is my good china unless we are having soup. Then, I have to use this china."
"These are my good trousers unless I wear a top that can't be tucked in. Then, I have to use these, because they don't have pleats"
"I wear this coat to church unless it is snowing, in which case I have to use this one because of the boots I have."
Of course the other china doesn't go with the same tablecloth, the other pants don't go with the most comfortable shoes, and the boots, although snow-proof, are not the same ones that can be used for shoveling snow, etc.
