You open a packed closet, stare for several minutes, and somehow decide you have nothing to wear. The problem often isn’t a shortage of clothing but a wardrobe so crowded that useful pieces become difficult to see, remember and combine.
That frustration can trigger another quick purchase, adding more clothing without solving the original problem. And the cycle can become surprisingly expensive: unworn purchases, duplicates, sale items that never leave the hanger and clothes bought for a lifestyle you don’t actually live all represent money that has already left your bank account.
