I really have too much clothes. My closet is literally full & I totally love shopping too much.
I need some tips on how to not compulsively buy clothes and how to buy worth it pieces.

To start downsizing, I've decided to do this trick: turn all my hangers backwards, and then as wear a piece, put it away with the hanger hung the proper way. So after 6 months - 1 year I'll be able to see what pieces I've worn and which ones I haven't, so this way I'll probably know what to get rid of.
And I'm going to try to wear every piece at least once and document my outfits.

Yeah I've tried doing the whole getting rid of something old when I buy something new, but I'm seriously a hoarder. as soon as I get rid of something I'll immediately want to wear it.

Girl I'm in the same boat. I have a closet full at my mom's house & my apartment lol. I'm going to start getting rid of stuff once I have money to get new clothes. looking at stuff on pinterest has given me an idea of how I want to dress, so anything that doesn't fit that look is going... hopefully lol. maybe pick out clothes you hardly wear & try making outfits with them. if you can't make many outfits or realize it's just not working, donate it.

When I want (need) to get rid of clothes I go through and pull out all the things I know I never wear but don't want to get rid of "in case I need it one day." I out them all in a suitcase in my closet. Then, if I don't open the suitcase to get something out after a few months, I donate it.
