Guys, I think I'm going to try it. But I'm really nervous. I'll have to get rid of over half of my closet. Like Ruth, I've shopped a little to much at thrift stores, with the its-cheep-why-not mentality, and my closet is overflowing with only-worn-once items, or worse never worn items.
I'm starting with this shirt. Every week I am going to put up 6 items from my closet in my Shop my Closet store, until I have only 40 items left. I'll also be refashioning some things and selling them in my handmade shop too. I won't be buying anything new until I've cut down my closet, and once there I will be keeping it at only 40 hangers. This means once I meet my goal, if I shop, an item from my closet will have to be exchanged for the new blouse/skirt/whatever.
If I really make this happen, I'll own less clothes then my husband. Could you ever do a 40 hanger closet?
