Don't fight it, don't think about it as a male, embrace it as part of being a woman. Vetting outfits makes you exactly who you are!

Me, I own well over 100 dresses and more skirts, blouses, blazers, tops, jeans, etc...... than I will ever wear!

Kandi is my soul Sister! :)

Too little time, but never too many outfits!

My clothes are either ones I bought (because I liked the way they looked), ones my wife didn’t want anymore and I wanted them, or ones my GG friend Michelle gave me (what I call Hand-Dee-Downs). Therefore, the vast majority mean something to me and I am always looking for an opportunity to wear them out.

Occasionally I cull the herd and donate some items, usually because of fit or a gift didn't suit me.

But too MANY girl clothes, NEVER!

I find it so odd that owning more clothes than you can do justice to is a source of pride! Then I think of how I search and search for particular pieces and most likely they are all just lying unworn in stashes, grrrr.

I always spend more time deciding what to wear than is needed.
Drab is so simple, grab a t-shirt, throw on some jeans and sneakers and out the door. But getting dressed? Well, that's altogether different.

Sometimes it takes 5 minutes just to decide on what panties and bra to wear. Then into the closet and it's "do I want to wear this ... I haven't worn this in a long time ... I really want to wear these shoes, but they don't go with the outfit I was going to wear". And on it goes. It's time consuming and it is Fun. It's part of being a woman and sometimes it's the best part.

I may try on several outfits before settling on one. Sometimes I go straight to the one I want. Sometimes I just get out, and then come back and try on several outfits just for fun.
