My mass of shoes will surely clobber me to death in my sleep one day

I think it should be noted that sometime last week I went through my shoe collection and pulled out 8 pairs to be donated to charity, leaving me with .... 57 pairs of shoes.

Holy cow!

This number doesn't even include the container of boots that I have under my bed, which would add I think four or five more pairs to the number... That's over 60 pairs of shoes! Is that too many?

I also found that I have 31 sweaters (cardigans and zip up hoodies). I could wear a different one every day of the month! Yet instead I alternate regularly between the same 10 cardigans and the same 2 zip ups. I do of course wear the others, but they are colors and styles that don't pop up often when I'm getting dressed. Brown, or grey, or more formal for example.

I always ask myself a few key questions to help decide whether an item stays or goes.
1) Do I like this/ Is this item my style?
2) Have I worn this in the last week?
3) Have I worn this in the last month?
4) Can I think of at least 4 times I have worn this item?
5) Does this fit?
6) Is this item in good condition?

BUT I'm horrible at sticking to "the rules." Especially when it means I'd have to give away the black motorcycle style zip up sweater from Urban Outfitters that I had forgotten I owned!

Questions 2, 3, and 4 don't apply to items you "re-discover" right?

Apparently I need to shop my closet more often because there is some great stuff in there!
