Closet Inventory
I've been seeing a lot of bloggers do closet inventory posts lately, and I was curious as to what my closet is comprised of, so I did my own inventory over the weekend. This list doesn't include things such as workout wear, pj's, sweatshirts, those t-shirts you get from school, or flip flops. Here are my results:
Bottoms
Dress-long: 7
Dress-capri: 4
Casual-capri: 4
Jeans: 6
Shorts: 5
Maxi skirts: 5
Shorter skirts: 8
Total= 39
Dresses
Maxi: 3
Shorter: 17
Total= 20
Tops
'Nice' tanks: 7
Basic tanks: 17
Short-sleeve: 40
3/4 or longsleeve: 27
Sweaters: 10
Cardigans: 21
Jackets: 7
Total= 129
Shoes
Boots: 7
Heels/wedges: 14
Flats: 8
Sandals: 9
Total= 38
Total of all items= 226
I don't know what I was really expecting when I got all my numbers. I recently did a major closet clean-out, so I knew I didn't have a very high number. It is interesting to see it all on the page, though. 129 tops and only 39 bottoms? I think if anything, it helps me see where I should focus my buying on, if I decide to add pieces to my closet. I've never bought a ton of pants/shorts/capris/etc, mostly because I always had the most trouble finding pieces that fit well. I only got into wearing shorts in the last couple years! I also just made a purchase from thred-up, so a few more tops may be added to this collection...
Have you done a closet inventory before? Were you surprised by the results?
I know what you mean, I need more bottoms myself as shirts just keep coming in. Haha! Girl you have a lot. Rachel xo
ReplyDeleteI think it makes sense to have more tops than bottoms. I think you can wear bottoms more frequently without friends and co-workers being like "uh, didn't you wear that skirt last week??" but tops are more noticeable.
ReplyDeleteI applaud you and other bloggers who have done this. I'd never be able to do it because I own way too much stuff (over 100 dresses alone). Plus I have a closet in Europe and a much larger one in US since I move between both places. I did get rid of 50 things last month though. Yes you do have a good amount of tops. I'd say add a few pairs of Shorts, some Pencil Skirts, a couple more pairs of Dressy Pants and Jeans and some Dresses and you are good to go. Those are my suggestions, anyways. =) You have more Maxi Skirts than me though. LOL I only got a couple of them here in Europe. Maybe 1 or 2 in US.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your new stuff from Thred-Up.
