Have you got to much stuff?

[AmyJordan]

Hi all just going through my wardrobe and realised just how much girly stuff i have and seriously need more space. Despite having clear outs of old stuff at times I currently have 47 dresses, 39 skirts mostly mini but also 8 below the knee, 4 jumpsuits, 23 pairs of heels 15 of which are 5 to 6in heel and 5 pairs of boots, 7 corsets and basques, 107 wigs of all colours and cuts, 83 tops and blouses, 7 suspender belts and literally 100s of nylons in all colours and patterns, 3 maid outfits one of which is leather 2 breast plates D and E and silicone inserts, numerous panties, bras and accessories and makeup items, only 1 pair of tight womens jeans which says alot about my style and 5 pairs of leggings 1 of which is also leather and 17 nighties. My wife says I have far more than her but its mostly her that keeps bringing them home for me. Is anybody else running out of closet space?

[wendylovescd]

Yes. I?m afraid to count. Ugh.

[MargaretJ]

Oh way too much. I have a wardrobe and 2 chests of drawers full of girlie stuff. The funny thing is I never seem to have anything to wear.:heehee:

[Geena75]

I almost have too much, but that's because I am not out at home. While I don't have a 20th of the wardrobe many have, I mostly need the right things. I'm really only looking for a couple pair of nice pumps (light and dark) and a couple long bodied tops to wear with leggings (for blending). More than that would make my meager storage space an issue.

[TessK]

Torrid just had a sale 40% off shoes so I picked up a couple of pairs...at least they are different from what I already have!

[sara66]

Too much stuff, no. Not enough storage, most definitely.

[VivianNewkirk]

I have reluctantly declared a moratorium on any new clothing purchases due to lack of closet space, this despite Vivian having her own closet for regular clothes and half of another for specialized sports clothing. It's time for a ruthless culling of his old t-shirt and bike jersey collections.

[Jessica Secret]

Yikes, that's a lot of stuff Amy! I haven't counted all of my things but I have 2 dresses, 2 bras, several pairs of panties, 3 pairs of satin pjs, 6 satin chemise/robe sets, 4 bridal nightgowns/negligees, and 2 lacy/chiffon baby doll nightie sets. As you can tell, I love romantic lingerie!

[April Rose]

I am okay in that regard I think. 1 moderate size closet, 1 armoir, a couple of dressers and a small lingerie chest. For someone who wears feminine clothes almost every day, I have a relatively practical attitude about my wardrobe.

[Kris Burton]

Not at all. I've only been at it actively for a little over a year, more is needed. Ask me this same question again in five years.

[NancyTO]

WAAAAY too much stuff. I have a spare bedroom that I have converted into a closet. I really need to do a clean out.

[Heather76]

I definitely do not have too much girly attire. From memory:

4 dresses - I recently donated 5 dresses I had purchased and found I rarely wore.
2 pair of pants (1 denim Lee jeans and another white pair of pants)
3 tops to wear with the pants
10 lace bralettes
8 underwire bras with one more on order
51 pair of lace panties (24 are still in unopened 6 pack packages)
6 chemises I wear as nighties but could double as slips
1 nightgown (I love it)
11 suspender fishnet stockings
8 or 9 thigh high nylons that I replace as the need arises (runs and holes)
2 sets of DD forms
2 sets of A/B cup inserts for the bralettes
1 purse
Assorted jewelry and makeup
5 sets of pink coffin style press-on nails

I keep most everything in the vanity drawers in the spare bathroom and a guest bedroom closet. When we have guests overnight, everything gets moved to the master bedroom and bath. If we're having guest for just a day, everything in the guest bathroom goes to my nightstand drawers in the master bedroom.

Seriously, can a girl really have too many clothes. I've always hated clothes shopping for the drab me; but, clothes shopping for Heather is always a fun time.

[Karren H]

Actually, not any more. Ok maybe too many bras, too much makeup and jewelry. But as I get older I have been actively reducing the amount of things I have. Not just girly stuff but everything. I have always been a collector of many things but time has come Shrink my collections. Including my girly things. Think I am down to 4 wigs and 4 pair of heels. One purse, my favorite Coach handbag. My guy side only has 3 pair of shoes. As I wear something out I do replace it but no more wasteful shopping (except maybe bras). Lol.

[TheHiddenMe]

Yes, of course I have too much, and I still want more. Why do you ask?

[Stephanie47]

"107 wigs!" Wow! I have to keep my wardrobe in the store room which is a converted garage which was suppose to be a rec room. My wardrobe is in 24+ Xerox boxes and some other odd shaped boxes. There are 162 dresses; hundreds of slips (my addiction); hundreds of panties; 41 nightgowns; the list goes on. One of the problems of being in a DADT marriage is not being able to have adequate time to dress. Therefore, as my therapist calls it, this collection falls into the category of retail therapy.

[abby054]

You are only half done answering your question. Now write down a price for each item. Make a good guess if you do not remember exactly. Just do the stuff on hand. Add them up. That sum helps reveal whether you have too much stuff.

[Larissa Cassandra]

I would need all the closet and drawer space in my house for half of what you have!! But I'm doing ok with half a closet and 3 drawers (as long as I swap out summer/winter clothes). I don't go out dressed so don't need a lot of stuff, but I have enough to be able to mix and match to make fun outfits. And lots of makeup and hair accessories under my bathroom sink, and some jewelry.

[Debs]

yep. I only buy female clothes these days and my back bedroom is FULL to the hilt, plus bags in the garage and a good wardrobe full at my holiday home, and im still buying every week, lol

[Jillcder]

Sounds like you a great wardrobe Amy the best part is your wifes contribution to it.

[Maria 60]

My wife convinced me a few weeks ago that I'm collecting to much and should go threw some of my stuff. It was hard but it is nice to have the extra space but it's just so hard. My wife believes it's because I don't wear anything out, dressing occasionally my cloths don't wear out to throw them out. I have 100s of pantyhose and I usally wear one brand and the others are to good to wear under pants. I save the good ones for special occasions and being in the closet and only going for drives onces a week there isn't many special occasions. I know exactly what your going through, it's just so hard to remove stuff, I guess we want selection.

[NancySue]

Without a doubt?yes. I have a difficult time purging, too. You never know. It?s fun finding something you forgot about and it becomes the pick of the day.

[Natalie5004]

I moved to a house that is 1000 sq ft smaller. My storage space was cut almost in half. I will have to be more careful when I consider any additions. But I am considering a new wig for my birthday 4 weeks away.

[Jenn A116]

Please explain "too much stuff". How is that even possible?

[AmyJordan]

I guess you're right about enough never being enough it's more a case of finding space for it all, I have already had to change one of our spare bedrooms into a large walk in wardrobe I remind my wife she's the one to blame

[alwayshave]

AmyJordon, I don't see a problem.

[Veronica Lacey]

WAAAAY too much stuff. I have a spare bedroom that I have converted into a closet. I really need to do a clean out.

Yes, a wee bit much. This is what I would need to do...:yt:

[docrobbysherry]

This is not true for trans, of course. Because they go out daily to vanilla venues. And, don't care to stand out.:sad:

But, CD's like to show off when we go out or when we dress at home.:daydreaming:

If a CD can count ANY of her fem items she either rarely dresses, is inhibited by her living situation, or never goes out with the intention of looking like a pretty woman to have fun!:tongueout

While I'm sure I have under a hundred purses? I can't say the same about: any/every other fem clothing item, wigs, shoes, jewelry, gloves, or belts.:heehee:

Because the problem is NOT having too much as it is NOT having just the rite, matching item for the look u want to create today or tomorrow!:battingeyelashes:
And, that continually changes for CD's!:devil:

[jacques]

hello Amy,
I am running out of closets!
luv J

[Patience]

Too much...and not enough! :eek:

[BLACK STOCKINGS]

You can never have too many dresses etc. You have a very nbice collection - but I have you beat have almost double of yours except the wigs. Only have maybe 20 wigs.

[CDMargret]

Hi. Yes I have a few to many treasures. I am currently organizing and thinning the mix. Old favorites are heading to auction for new favorites. Black leotards must be a serious weakness as I kept 12 and have a full grocery bag to move on.

[NaughtyMichelle]

Yes. At least 70 pairs of shoes and just talked myself down from delving in to a recent Nine West sale. Tops and skirts? Have lost track.

At least I've stopped buying wigs since my hair has grown out.

[Kelli_cd]

For sure I have to much, but I can't help myself. 2 full- sized dresser drawers full of panties, and 1 full of bras. Part of a 3rd drawer has panties, to. And another dozen or so bras in my closet.

[Krisi]

We moved a year ago and I did a major clear out, but I do have more "stuff" than I need.

I replaced all the closet rods in the new house with dual rods (high and low) so I am not out of space, but some stuff I never wear. I need to get rid of it. I also have a lot of cheap jewelry that needs to go.

[Donna St. Marten]

More than I need but less than I want.

[sometimes_miss]

Too much? Sheesh. I could open a store for 6'4" 250 pound crossdressers with all the girl stuff I have accumulated. But then I'd have to buy everything all over again. Hmmm, that would be fun; retail therapy!

[SissyAlly]

Definitely not as much stuff as I would like lol

[Cheryl T]

Too much stuff? Is there such a thing?
My closet still has room so I'd say I don't have too much.

[Lucy B]

I thought I had too much stuff.
That was until I read this thread...

[BrendaPDX]

Well you have more than I do, but you didn't mention a wedding!?!? Honestly I don't think I would ever have enough room for all of Brenda's clothes.

[AmyJordan]

Hi Brenda no I don't have a formal wedding dress but my wife has dressed me in a short white dress, white nylons and heels and gave me her veil for a photo session
I will post a pic soon she has also teased me about a special service and new vows for Amy if we return to Vegas
I'll have to wait and see

[Cheryl T]

I certainly have more in my side of the closet than my wife. She even encouraged me to build a lingerie chest for myself as I have far more underwear than she does.
As for shoes it's about even. We each have upwards of 30 pair of shoes and boots.
Is it too much? I don't think so. There's still room so ...

[jazmine]

Oh yeah! But never enough. I have more female garb & things than 99.99% of the genetic women out there,(and they all just roll there eyes when I show or tell them). But that's from somebody that has 35-some classic arcade machine around the house. I don't even know how many guitars I have anymore. Life is tuff & challenging. Why not fill it with things that put a smile on your face and a better zing in your step?

[Brenda Freeman]

I probably have more dresses than I need. LBD's in particular. I have been gradually moving some things to a give away section but I am cautious as I have regretted some of the things I purged in the past. But we help the economy with our buying. I am not sure where the pantyhose and stockings availability would be with out us girls!

[Traci H]

I have bins of stuff in my garage attic, with a smaller portion of it in my house that I use to dress with a bit. Mostly underdressing. My wife says I have way too much stuff and I have tried to cull it down, but find it very difficult, only occasionally tossing something. Since I never purge anymore, but put stuff away if I feel the need, things tend to accumulate. I have hundreds of panties, with some being around for long time. I love some retail therapy as well, so its just happens. My wife hates the whole thing and fears what would happen if we both suddenly left this earth and our kids found it.

[Raychel]

Oh Yeah, Way too much stuff.
more than I care to count for sure.

But I would guess
60 dresses
100 bras
50 bodybriefers.
25 nightgowns
And my underwear drawer is so full it wont close

So yeah, way too much

[JulieC]

My wife hates the whole thing and fears what would happen if we both suddenly left this earth and our kids found it.

Leave a note (or notes) with your stash(es) explaining it all.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Amy:hugs:, I will be 80 in a Couple Weeks , I have more than I will ever wear,

I have been donating to a Local Woman's Shelter, **O:daydreaming:O**

[Brianne_bc]

Wayyyy too many pairs of heels and boots. I try giving them away to local CD etc on fetlife but I never get any takers.

[Turquoise]

I don't have anything exempt a few pairs of panties. My wife just ordered me a bra and leggings to underdress. I'm very excited to try them on.

[Crissy 107]

My Panty drawer is overflowing but other than that no, not nearly enough.
Turquoise, Sounds like you have a very nice wife, give her extra hugs!

[Katie Lynn cd]

My wife says I have too much…I don’t think so. The only thing I truly need to stop buying would be panties, but I still look. I think I have 10 or so wigs. I do wish I had 107. That’s the great thing about being a cross dresser is being able to change your look. I’m going to guess 14 pairs of heels, 8-10 tops, 10 skirts, 14 or so dresses, 2 pairs of leggings, 18 bras and not near the lipstick choices that I need.

[Joanne108]

I have not a large amount of women?s clothes it fits in my closet and one drawer of my dresser. I seem to have enough.

[Cd.Charlene]

If Im feeling down, depressed or whatever, buying new panties makes me feel better. Its an odd thing I guess

[Patience]

No, it's an even thing.

Remember, they are pairs of panties. :heehee:

[Kelli_cd]

More than 370 panties, more than 100 bras. Yeah, probably too many.
Sometimes, though, I don't have enough.

[ErikaH]

Not yet, but I am starting to embrace Erika more and more, so she is starting to get her own wardrobe!

[Kris Burton]

It's important to remember: She that dies with the most stuff, wins.

[Ressie]

Something's gotta give somewhere... Most of my male hanging clothes aren't in a closet anymore. I've got them hanging on hooks - on doors and a few in the utility room. Meanwhile my bedroom closet is bursting at the seams and I have bags of clothes under my bed.

I've taken some stuff to GW that I got tired of. I need to do that more or stop buying more.
