Probably about 8 years ago I had a ton of serious stuff happen back to back and I dealt with it by buying clothes... I have much better coping skills now. I still enjoy buying clothes but not in droves like before.

My problem is that I have so many clothes that all of them hardly ever get worn out so it's like an ever increasing wardrobe. My giant closet and loving husband that let's me take up most of the closet aren't helping either lol.

On that note I ask my husband should I get get rid of this or I'm wearing this because I'm putting it in the donate pile tomorrow and he says nooo that looks so good on you ... but he says that about everything lol so that's no help.

The hardest though is when I was buying all of those clothes I was single with lots of money and now I have a family and not much money so I struggle getting rid of clothes that look new or in some cases still have tags on them when I know we're hurting for money. I dont have time to sell individually online.

I feel like all these clothes are giving me anxiety. When I walk into my closet I just think wow too much stuff and I have trouble putting together cute outfits because I'm overloaded with options.

Any advice on how to best thin out my wardrobe?

tl/dr how do I get rid of clothes?

UPDATE: Got rid of over 40 items and didnt make a dent lol I'll keep

at it. Thank you all for your advice :)
