P.S. Here’s a self-portrait with all my clothing

I took this portrait in early August 2020 to better visually understand how much clothing and shoes I own. There are technically 82 pieces pictured here (which is everything I own except for socks & undies) including all typical wardrobe pieces I requested people count for the survey, but also my bathing suits and even my wedding dress.

Finally, this project was not designed to make anyone feel bad about how many clothes they do or don’t have compared to others. The purpose is to help you evaluate what you own and decide if it’s the right number of pieces for your lifestyle. How do you do that? I’ll talk about that more in a future post, so stay tuned.
