I look at it this way...
One can only improve their wardrobe by doing this.
And I wholeheartedly agree with this method.
I believe I need to try your wife's technique with my wife's shoes. I've been trying to thin my closet (both boy and girl ends) for awhile now. The hard part is getting rid of the clothing that I've "outgrown", because I really would like to get back to that waist size again. I'm thinking of applying a rule that if I haven't worn it in a year and it doesn't fit my body today, it's time to take it to the second-hand store.
