Judy, Judy, Judy!!! Your closet is to die for! Space between your hangers is enormous. My hangers are jammed so close together, I have to use a crow bar to separate them.
Sounds like you're just a person who suffers from using 'retail therapy' the same way that others use smoking, drinking, eating, thrill seeking etc., as a way to avoid thinking about something else. We all have our defense mechanisms we use to get by when we need to get something else out of our mind (Hmmmm; 'out of our minds'. I can see a lot of SO's using that to describe our behavior!). Many of us would probably do the same thing if we could afford it and had the space. Not to mention, for a lot of us, just finding something cute, that fits perfectly, can bring enough joy to last quite a while.
Plenty of women in the world have closets at least as full as yours. Enjoy it. Life is too short to put off joy.
My lingerie collection is still about that big. I used to have about 100 blouses and skirts but have downsized a lot of outerwear keeping only the things that I would actually wear when going out and casual clothes, like my wife has said I don't really need feminine "work clothes" unless I am going to wear them to work.
I had a real girl sized collection of clothes and shoes which I purged over 15 years and now think about with sadness and regret.
These days I have far less but do not have to really hide it so I tend to add a few pieces as the mood takes me rather than a 'buy everything' attitude.
However if given free reign and a bigger purse I'd have lots more wonderful things to wear.
You know where a purge leads so enjoy your wardrobe and wear all your dresses one-after-another even if only for short periods :)
I have 1000 skirts and slightly les dresses, about 2000 tops and 300 pairs of shoes & boots. I plan to get rid of only a few and I like being able to go back to old stuff and treat it as new so no chance of throwing stuff out just because it hasn't been worn for a bit. About 2/3 is in my loft on hangers and the rest is in wardrobes. I have actually managed to step back a bit from buying new stuff.
