PronounsShe/her
Describe a collection or category of items in your home that you’re worried might have crossed over into “too many” or “too much.”Clothing! Especially "dressy clothing" (I usually keep wearing the same couple "dressy" outfits over and over, and even then don't have many opportunities to wear them).
For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive?- Run out of hanger space in my closet
- Don't have opportunities to wear my fanciest clothes
- Have more "dressy" (but not formal) outfits than I use
- too much laundry; it's easy to put off doing laundry when I have tons of outfits, but then I have enough dirty laundry in my laundry bag to clothe an entire marching band, and it gets to be an overwhelming task
For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer.total volume of clothes should fit comfortably (not tightly) on hangers on the clothes rack in my closet, with one storage box for out-of-season clothing
Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive.I can't think of anything, but I do have some things I regret getting rid of because they reminded me of a happier time- plush toys, college acceptance letters, playbills from shows I performed in, etc
