Downsizing my Wardrobe

Stumbled across Project 333 this evening and was so excited I jumped straight in! I've been decluttering my room one baby step at a time and I still get surprised at what I find in my wardrobe sometimes. Here is an inventory I took of the clothes in my wardrobe (not including socks, underwear, pyjamas or accessories, e.g. hats, gloves, scarves...). The first figures represent what was there (not including what I'm wearing/what's in the wash) and the figures in brackets represent what I kept, i.e. what did not go into probation before I visit the charity shop.

The aim of Project 333 is to get down to 33 items per season. According to this list I've pared my clothes down to 43 while shoes are at 19 (whoa- I have 19 pairs of shoes?!). I do think that I'll be able to get shoes down to 13 though... ;) The clothes tally isn't as bad as I thought although I'm amazed at my skirts- I've been moving more towards wearing skirts or dresses but realised that I don't like all but one of my skirts (which is in the wash as we speak)! If that isn't an excuse to sew some new ones I don't know what is :p
