I have the same issue. My closet is full. I have more closets and plenty of space for more things, but I am not going to give myself permission to fill them. I understand about not wanting to get rid of things I love and are in good shape, so I am not going to. However, I find that the more things I have, the more it feels like I wear the same things mostly because it's easier. I think that's a fallback habit from my fat days. I also had great fat clothes.

So I decided I'm going to clean out my closet of things I haven't worn in a year. Even if it has tags on it, or if I still like it. No sense in taking up space.

My shopping has slowed down some - I try to be practical...but I don't always succeed. I do wish there was a high end consignment shop around here somewhere. I wouldn't mind driving a ways to it, since I already have to do that buy clothes, anyway.

Anyone in the Detroit/Ann Arbor/Toledo area know of any high end consignment shops??

Use google and Yelp. I did "high end consignment Detroit" and found 5.

Clothes Mentor is ok -- not great. The better the area it's in, the better the clothes, obviously. That's a franchise.

Not that I've ever been in your shoes, but I say as long as you aren't going broke and have severe shopping addiction, give your least favorites away and keep having fun! You are a woman and shopping just comes with the territory.

Thank you (all) for posting some great ideas about how to cope with this issue. It's so nice to know that others go thru these very same problems

I can afford my new addiction financially much more than I could afford my old addiction physically. <3
