I just purged...
70 pieces of clothing from my closet.
1 jacket, 12 t-shirts, 10 tank tops, 15 shirts, 5 sweaters, 12 hoodies, 2 dresses, 3 skirts, 4 pairs of pants, 1 pair of shorts, 2 pairs of jeans, and 3 belts. I also got rid of a few Halloween costumes, a bunch of dog clothes, and tons of accessories.
Is it bad that even after getting rid of all that it doesn't look like I even put a DENT into my wardrobe? You honestly can't even tell that I did anything. I still have a LONG way to go. There is tons more stuff in there that I don't wear, but that I'm having a hard time letting go of. I hope this doesn't mean I have hoarding tendencies...I'm going to go back and see what else I can chuck.
Re: I just purged...
Oooh you should sell your stuff if it's in good condition/still in style. I know a lot of fashion bloggers have sales on their blogs!
And yes, that is sad. Or maybe it's sad that I don't think I even own 70 pieces of clothing. Not sure!
If I had the money I'd own a lot more 
(oh so excited for when Brandon finally GETS A JOB!)
Ack! By throw out I hope you mean donate.
haha ohhh dear - see, I am SO sick of all these clothes, I don't think anyone would want any of them. There's nothing really special in there...
I mean, someone somewhere might want a used pair of Juicy Couture jeans, but I certainly wouldn't want to buy someone's used clothes...so I just wouldn't feel comfortable selling them. I'll donate them to the Canadian Diabetes Association and hopefully someone will appreciate them
I have an absolutely ridiculous amount of clothing as well - I've been thinking that as soon as this summer season ends (it's 94 here today) that I'm going to do a serious purge as well. We have donation bins for clothing all over my town so there's no shortage of places to drop off the bags...I have had some of these things for years now and getting sick of looking at them.
DH is getting a healthy bonus in 2 weeks and we decided we'd each take a certain amount of the total to spend as we please so I'm making my Wish List for when I get to go shopping!!!!
When HH and I first moved in together and had to share a closet in a 1 bedroom apt I got rid of over 30 pairs of shoes alone. Plus a ton of clothes as well. Now that we have a house and a much much bigger closet I'm getting to fill it back in lol.
I try to purge at least once a year, usually do it a few times though. I always donate to goodwill since I usually purge more than clothes and end up donating some household stuff as well.
hahaha we do not routinely dress our dog up, I swear. When we first got her, a bunch of friends bought her little outfits, and we never put them on her. We did, however, buy her a raincoat. Because she would NOT go out in the rain and we thought it would help. It didn't. I think she wore it twice.
I'm not going to lie, we dress her up for Halloween though, but only because we think it is absolutely hilarious.
We have a yard sale and whatever is left over we donate to goodwill or the mountain mission.
You guys are making me feel less guilty about the amount of clothing I own. Matt has hardly any clothes-- we got him two pairs of jeans and two t-shirts a couple of weeks ago, and he was all psyched because it "doubled his wardrobe." It almost did.
Then there's me. My clothes and shoes take up over half of the rod in the closet, the entire top shelf, the entire floor, a dresser, and the better part of a smaller dresser.
