So here I am standing in my room and all I see is mountains of clothes. I have too many and need to start tossing some so how many should I keep of each? I don't need 10 leggings right? Over 50 tops. ... I want to stick to a safe number and pick the best to stay.... What does everyone suggest?

Ohh this is hard as I'm a clothes hoarder!! Lol. I think what works best for me is not numbers but more what I wear and what I don't wear, although in my head I want to wear them and try to find excuses to keep them, I think just first go through and sort out clothes you just won't wear, then clothes your not sure if you want to wear, anything that has seen better days, then go through what you have left and see if you have similar styles and then ask yourself if you need six shirts that are similar ( sorry not saying you do I just know I end up buying such similar clothes that are almost identical lol) and finally I keep all the clothes I want to get rid of for two weeks and if I don't go and get something out then they all go to the local op shop and funny thing is I never do get something out, good luck
I have a maximum of 8 days of every day clothes (but in various combos does far longer). I have 4 special outfits for weddings/events etc that can be dressed up or dressed slightly down.
I also have 3 exercise outfits as I workout 5 days a week.
My rule is if I haven't worn it in a year it goes?
