Wardrobe Weeding

I have decided to start a wardrobe weeding service on myself! I have too many clothes that I do not wear so it's out with the old and make room for the new!

 I currently have clothes/shoes stashed in:
2 x double wardrobe - both full to bursting 
3 x chest of drawers 
4 x underbed drawers 
2 x partial use of wardrobe (boys bedrooms!)
1 x linen cupboard with shelves

 

The last picture on the right is the male coats in the house - there are 3 boys/men living here and so there are 3 coats!

 I have now rid myself (going on ebay once I figure out how to do it - seriously, I thought I'd put the things live but apparently not and now I am totally stumped!):

 1 x waterproof mum jacket
2 x trench coat (one in grey, one in orange)
1 x parka (I now have my waxed parka so don't need 2)
1 x green duffle coat - I don't need it

 I am left with, never to be parted:

 Waxed Parka
Navy long coat
Camel knee length coat
Black trench coat
4 x blazers
Denim Jacket
Biker jacket
Fur gilet
Puffa gilet
Beige light weight jacket
Poncho

 Is that a lot? I don't think so and I can't reduce this anymore - I have a need for them all and I do wear them too.

 Tomorrow I'll do dresses and put the ones I don't wear on ebay. Once I've worked out how to link to ebay (once listings are live) I will update you!

 Here I am today in my comfy wardrobe weeding outfit and wearing a gorgeous scarf from School Gate Style (sorry for crap photo - I HATE MY PHONE when it's dark)

    Your heading says Wardrobe Wedding, I was hoping you had found me a dress for June! I sorted my coats out a few months ago but I miss some of them and know I am lacking in certain areas but it will have to wait till next year now x

      I'll probably make £2 knowing my luck! Because I'm a new seller ebay is taking FOREVER to get my listings live!
