26 Coats. Way More Sweaters.

You might recall the beginning of my No Shopping for a Year (NSFY) endeavor. It was summer, then, so I didn't feel like I could adequately assess my coats and sweaters. Now that it's snowed once, I thought it was time. And oh my. I had no idea. I have 26 coats hanging in one closet (out in the picture below) and more sweaters than I want to count. I feel like Felicity but the funny thing is I bet you money that anyone who sees me on a semiregular basis would be shocked to learn I own more than one black dress, the one lululemon sweater I pass off as officewear, and my beige coffee-stained jacket.

I never wear this stuff.

Which is why I stopped shopping. And now I'm hoping to get down to just one closet but after an initial assessment I want to keep 20 of the 26 coats. Removing six an empty closet does not make. Hmmm...now that I've pulled everything out of the closet I wonder just how long it will take me to get it all back (all that remains, that is!).
