How to get more wear out of the clothes you already own?
Q. without donating/selling/give them away.
(warning long details)
Because I love everything I own and its not the money or "dont have anything to wear" problems in my case. I tends to buy things that exceed a bit over my current lifestyle and end up storing them (not exactly hoarding, because I eventually wear everything and most of the things I buy are classic simple pieces like a pair of black pumps or a simple cocktail dress, not trendy/flashy stuff). I guess Im one of those people who store more than they wear.
Alot of people say women wear only 20% of their wardrobe but that doesnt apply to me, I wear perhaps 90% of my clothes, I just dont have the time/oppunity to wear some of it. Like dressier dresses, evening things, summery shoes because the summer are too short here, nicer shoes and stuff like that because my lifestyle doesnt require them (who would commute to the shopping mall in their formal party heels or sparkly leggings who also live in a rural area, not a city? :S)
So anybody who else have this problem "store more than what they wear"? How to deal with it?
I dont want to throw or donate anything because I LOVE everything. Nothing I buy are expensive (unless it is things I really wear alot like flat knee high boots in cold weather that costed me 150-200£. Party/special/occassion, winter, summer and trendy pieces I tends to buy when there are sales and clearances. Like 50-70% off, get 2 for 1, buy 2 get the other one half the price, off the season etc.) Im a bargain hunter and very picky. I also buy my clothes/shoes after my bills.
Fortunately I dont change in size (only change 1-2 sizes back and forth during SIX years) so alot of my clothes can last me for over a decade.. Im a 24 yo campus student and pay for my own stuff (even treat my family on gift from time to time) so Im not exactly "spoiled" or anything... LOL
and to the jealous-or-whatever-the-ones-are, poor girls/boys. I do HAVE a life, Im studying. Also I DO save, actually one third of my allowances! We have higher taxes rather tuition fees here so i dont need to worry about education fees.
rhino: I wrote; WITHOUT without donating/selling/give them away. (weird example, would you sell your pets if you dont have time to cuddle with it <but take care of it>? :P)

A. I wear most of my closet as well and adore timeless pieces so that I don't have to donate too much every season.
Simply just stop buying. You'll be stuck with the clothes you have and have to wear them more. I adore a great deal but sometimes you just have to tell yourself hey I have enough at home.
Being a major fashion lover this can come off as complicated sometimes but impulse buying and buying JUST for a good deal can been seen as a shopping addiction, or shopaholic. Which is not good mentally or economically.
There are many ways you can make a party dress look casual and casual wear dressy so I suggest learning those kind of tips to make your clothes fit more occasions. I also suggest watching videos that teach you how to transition an outfit you would wear during the day or to work to something suitable for night/"out in the city" wear.
For example, Denim will make anything casual. Just throw a jean jacket with a dress and you've got yourself a nice outfit.
Good Luck.
