I started tracking what clothes I wore each day on January 1, 2023. And in January 2025 I am still going strong with my closet spreadsheet.

The most sustainable clothing is what's already in your closet - but I didn't actually know what was in my closet until I went through this closet audit exercise.

Here are just a few of the things I've learned:
๐ how many clothing items I have in my closet (296)
๐ how often I buy new clothes (way too often)
๐ whether I tend to buy clothes new or secondhand (43% new, 57% used)
๐ what colors I wear most often (black, blue, and white)
๐ฅ the most worn items in my closet (my Genusee sunglasses are #1)
โ
what percentage of my clothes have actually been worn (87%)
๐๐ผ all about my personal style (read this post)
and so much more.
