do i need one in every color?

let's face it...i've been in a lot of closets...been through many drawers...and one thing that happens more than i'd like to admit...is the need to buy an item in 15 different colors...whether it be a sweater...a t shirt...maybe even a certain pair of shoes...i get that the fit was too perfect to pass up...but when i see a perfect fitting sweater in 15 colors...do you really need one in every color?

while that is an easy way to shop...it is also a very easy way to get bored with your daily attire...although the color is changing...most will think you are required to wear this "uniform"...and who wants to be wearing a uniform...when they don't need to?

now the other way that i see a culmination of the same item...is when new ones are bought...and old ones are not thrown out...when you replace your dingy white t shirts...or your worn out _______ (fill in the item)...the right thing to do is to take the old...and get rid of it..."replace" is new in place of the old...

when drawers are barely closing...and closets are jam packed...this is one of the easiest things to fix...look through and see what can be removed...do you need one in every color?  i think not...
