BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Cleaning How Many Tshirts Do You Own?

I think I have about 20 tshirts. I realize I live in tshirts in the summer - I work from home and generally wear tshirts and sweats all day long. But still - do I really need 20 of them?? Surely I could live with say 7 or 8 and do wash once a week?

I think of so many families where people only have 1 or 2 shirts and that's it. Why do I need 20?

What do you think? How many do you guys have?

My boyfriend is a hoarder and has like 80 tshirts so I can't use him as a judge. I've tried for years to get him to winnow his pile down and have given up.

Oh about 30 t-shirts not including my various football tops..

when I buy t-shirts it is usually seasonally and I get 5 or 6 different colors in solids. then I get t-shirts with stuff on them as I see them in the store or at concerts or whatever. So I probably have about 10 or 15 going every season of the year. when they wear out I sleep in them. I just got 3 new ones with St. Patty Day themes. My problem is they get that inevitable stain on the front that won't come out and get taken out of circulation except for around the house before they wear thin.

That's interesting LadyLvsNyt - I don't think I have any in solid colors. All of them are "from somewhere" - so for example we go to a really cool location and get a tshirt as a "wearable memory". I think that's what makes them hard to give away

I watched one of the makeover shows and the girl was loaded with t-shirts. They took the ones that were most special to her and folded them neatly and ornately with the info showing and put them in a decorative frame or momento box to hang on the wall.

I like that idea of putting them in a decorative frame, I have a few tshirts that I haven't worn because they commemorated a special event of some sort, then I feel bad that I've never worn them.

Okay, i just counted. In my home, the RV, i own...12 teeshirts. This is both short sleeves ones and jerseys. They are pretty much what I live in also.

I don't have any sweatshirts but i have two hoodies - a pullover and a zip up one.

No flannels, and only a handful of 'nice' shirts.

I had to cut down when i moved into the rig.

I have waaay too many pairs of PJ bottoms - what I normally wear instead of actual pants. But since they are light and roll up into tiny spaces, I don't worry about them.

Jilly - OK you are inspiring me! I will clear out some more Tshirts when the BBBS come around next time!

I really cut down the number of "nice clothes" (blouses and such) after I worked from home for several years. I used to wear those daily to the office but now that I work from home I don't wear them. I kept a few though "just in case" I had to go into an office.

Really though, it's been what 8 years now. I think it's fair to say that if I ever did have some disaster and had to go back to an office that I would want to get a few new items to wear, and not 10 year old clothes. So I will do a thorough cleaning the next time they are in town! That'll be in about a month.

You know though, I could box them up NOW! And my closet will be cleaner! The next time I get a box I will start that up!

I have approximately 7-8 long sleeve T-shirts and at the moment, about the same short-sleeve T-shirts.

I'm a SAHM and live in them. Believe it or not, they often get more than one wearing if a child hasn't spit up on me.

I only have one, very old t-shirt. A UCLA shirt. I didn't even go there though. I think I got it from a cousin.
