How Many is Too Many?

At my new job I have to dress more professional than at my old job, so I've kind of been on a buying spree lately. Here is my problem - I am in LOVE with these skinny slacks. I have them in black and found out this weekend that they also carry them in charcoal. However, I currently own 10 pairs of slacks and a few skirts. Am I being ridiculous wanting another pair of pants??

Not crazy for wanting them, but you don't need them.

Darnit, that's what I thought.

this exactly.

Could you donate/sell some of your other slacks and buy them?

When I find something that I love I stock up on it, especially if it's a good price. I'll buy multiples in black and all of the other colors that I like.

Literally, I have 8 or 9 pairs of the Taylor pants from Nordstrom.

I wear almost all of them pretty frequently. The only one I don't really wear is because it is a bit too small now, but it is part of a suit so I don't want to get rid of it.

I don't think you're crazy. I wish I had that many pairs of pants to alternate between. That will be my goal someday when I actually get to a healthy weight and maintain it for a while.

I think if you wear what you have, you want them and can afford them... Get them!

this. but just because you don't need them, doesn't mean you can't have them.
