I'd have to go home, and do a closet sweep, but I'd have to say well over 30.

I have probably 3 blazers I haven't worn yet.  They are Spring colors which I got at a good price at the end of summer so I will have to wait to wear them.


Same goes for two skirts, their time will come!

None. I wear everything I buy as soon as I can. If I don't plan on wearing something anytime soon, I won't buy it.

I actually don't think I have anything! Wow.


However, let me tell you about my client. The company I work for now does high-end closet design, and I spent a few days recently helping out at a client site. In preparation for the new construction, we had to remove all the client's clothes from her three closets and arrange everything on racks & shelves in her living room while the workmen did the demo and installation. Then before we put everything back in, we had to organize it by type and color, so I now have an extensive mental catalogue of this woman's clothing collection. She had quite a few tags on, but what was extraordinary was the value of her still-tagged items, alone. Including a $7,000 Christian Lacroix dress, it was easily about 30K. Just with the tags on. All the clothes in total probably represented more than the cost of most people's houses.


New York can feel like an alien planet sometimes.

None.  I am good about taking the tags off, though the lovely party dress I bought last winter still hasn't been worn...and I feel massively guilty about it!  I'm going to wear it soon though!


I try to only buy things that I love...regardless of the price, and I'm really trying to resist succumbing to sales unless I can think of lots of different ways to wear a piece.


It helps to post different permutations on here too...I have worn my red Nanette Lepore blouse about 20 times since September...and I think I've definitely gotten my money out of it so far:)

For once in my life, none!  I just got rid of a pair of pants that I had never worn and they were my last tagged item.

Maybe 10? Some of them I can't figure out what to wear with, and some are just so old that they either don't fit or I don't want to wear them. I have a few pairs of unworn shoes too.
