Obsessions in your closet?
Permalink Closed

Most women have a vice.. a weakness.. An obsession. Sometimes shoes, handbags, jewelry etc etc.


Is there something that you are just obsessed with? So much so you are embarrassed to admit it?


I have a few.


I just discovered I have at least 7 jean skirts. Is that necessary? What is the matter with me? I just want to smack myself.


I also have a strange obsession with tanks. Most Jcrew.. but I have gap, old navy, hanes beaters, nordstrom brand.. I probably have 40-45 tank tops in my closet right now. (And I wear at least 2 at a time.) I have every color of the rainbow and probably 10-12 of them are white. I really wish I have that $600+ right now. I feel ridiculous.


You?

skirts! I could wear a skirt every second of every day. My mom says I refused to wear anything at all besides skirts and dresses, except when playing in the snow, until I was at least seven or something.

After I graduate, I know that I will only buy dresses, practically. There are so many cute dresses that I have to pry myself away from because I know they're too dressy for college, and I have enough dressy clothes to last me through my summer office job, and my other job is a combination of at-home work, and work in an office where people ONLY wear jeans, tshirts, and hoodies.

Also, I've recently started having a weakness for pretty necklaces. My new go-to outfit is a fitted tshirt and a really great necklace

Honestly, I feel like I have a TINY closet compared to some of you girls. So obsessions? Nah...I've got holes to fill!


I have no fewer than 15 of the boys' white beaters. Yeah...can you say carried away? I have maybe 5 colored wifebeaters but I need every color in the rainbow that will look good on me so I'm going to bring that total up for 20.  


I have 5 French Connection "fcuk (insert innuendo here)" tees. They're all black. I should've at least tried for some colored ones along the way, right? I haven't bought a new one since early last year, but still...


In general, I have a graphic tee sickness. I have around 25, but would probably like to own around 50-75. I know!!!!!!


I own like 25 pairs of black tights. I live in Los Angeles where it might be cold enough to wear them 3 months out of the year. I also own about 12 pairs of pantyhose which I had for business purposes until I realized that no on wears pantyhose in LA. I also own about 5 pairs of colored tights, but would like to expand my collection to again, every single color and pattern that looks good on me!

The biggest one for me is bags. As you can see in my signature, I'm trying to sober up.

I have a fair number of skirts too, but I cycle through all of them, and wear skirts 2x a week at work.

I also have a lot of jackets/blazers/coats considering it is only cold here from mid-November through March.

Boots are another thing I never seem to have enough of. Which is ridiculous, for the same reason having jackets is ridiculous.

I guess I just love fall/winter weather and clothes so much, I have lots regardless of how practical it is to wear them year round.

dresses, but i am getting better. i will not let myself buy anymore dresses unless they fit really well and i love them. (my biggest problem is buying stuff i need to alter)

i did cut myself down to 90ish dresses from 160, though, and i feel pretty proud about that. i would like to cut it down to maybe 50.

I've always said it was shoes, but after reviewing my closet recently, I think it's tshirts. I probably have 50 short sleeve & 20ish long sleeve? But the funny thing is only about 10 are in regular rotation. I because of this I always feel like my closet is packed & I don't need clothes but when I need something dressier than a tee I am lost.....

I do have tons of shoes too though.

ohhh, white collared shirts. I think I have four and am about to buy another. Also: plain tees. I need to buy more interesting shirts! And pants. I have almost no skirts or dresses, but oodles of dress pants.

If it's not practical and it doesn't fit into my lifestyle, I have too much of it in my closet. I'm in the process of ruthlessly purging and building up a more professional (business casual) wardrobe). I hate about 90% of my clothes. So, here's my current list:



  • Graphic T's - I have about 50 and I hardly ever wear them

  • Racerback tanks - I actually do layer these with other things alot and many times I'll wear two at time. I probably have about 30 of these.

  • Going out tops - Probably somewhere between 30 and 50. I will never, ever wear half of these and some of them I'm just sick of.

  • Casual skirts - Again about 30.

My abundance of weekend gear is directly proportional to my complete lack of work wear. I also have a ridiculous amount of flip flops-- every color that Old Navy has made in the past two seasons.

yeah, but they are mostly thrifted dresses, so it's an excess of cheapies that i don't need.

For me, it's coats.  It started back in high school, living in San Diego.    It would be like 60 degrees and I'd be "that girl" with the wool peacoat on, not so much because I was cold, but more because I love coats and the only time I could was if it was like 60 degrees.


The obsession still stands today.  I have quite a few and actually need to pitch a few and get some new ones.

Tee Shirts

Undies- My mom used to say that instead of doing laundry I must just buy more undies! This was not the case, I just change my mind on what style I like best.

PJ Pants- Especially holiday themed ones, I have them for every holiday now!

Flip Flops- I think I have around 30 pairs.

Necklaces- when I couldn't find the perfect pink quartz necklaces for my bridesmaids I realized that I had more than 7 to lend them for the wedding instead!

I'm like Kitty, I have MORE dresses/skirts than I know that I need in my closet. Same for shoes, b/c half of them I may or may not get around to wearing, but I just had to have them! LOL And shirts (any kind), I'm literally running out of room in my closets, Joe needs to hurry up and expand it.
