<p>…I got tired of counting. I don’t even want to go into the amount of tops/shirts, sleep attires, and lounge wear. It would be a bit crazy. >_< I hate not feeling prepared for every type of situation. I’ve been known as a fashionista.</p>

64

<p>You are all going to end up sending half of this back home with Mommy and Daddy after you move in and find you don’t have room for it…</p>

65

<p>Shazami, your list looks about perfect. Most of these people are bringing at least four times more clothes than they need. And I am not a minimalist by any stretch of the imagination, I just bought a sofa-bed for my dorm for goodness sake. :P</p>

<p>I think we should make a follow up thread at Christmas about what people ACTUALLY HAVE now that they’ve had the chance to bring stuff home.</p>

66

<p>I’m actually a junior. I always manage to find space for my clothes. It may not be as roomy as my closets at home, but I make it work. :)</p>

67

<p>I was pretty much with you (how do you store 6 purses?) until I got to the 17 skirts and dresses. My eyes may have fallen out of my head.</p>

68

<p>I use closet hooks for my scarves/purses. There is also a closet shelf. A lot of my skirts/dresses are cotton, so using thin metal hangers, they actually don’t take up as much room as you would think.</p>

69

<p>lmao im going to MSU and I’m not bringing much. My roommate and I are very laid back and can switch doing laundry each week between us. College is an experience, and briging everything from home just takes away from that.</p>

70

<p>Turns out my closet was nearly three times as wide as I expected it to be. Awesome :D</p>

71

<p>wow you all make me feel so excessive
-10 pairs jeans/pants
-15-20 dresses
-5 skirts
-10 button downs/ polos
-15-20 cute tops
-10 tank tops
-20 tshirts (mostly sorority ones i am required to wear)
-4 cardigans
-5 jackets
-5 pairs running shorts/ 10 pairs shorts
-lots of leggings
-15 or so pairs of shoes
-lots and lots of underwear, etc.</p>

<p>and its all fit well for the last 2 years!
-3 sweatshirts</p>

72

<p>I have been taking this much for 2 years and it has fit fine. You just have to be smart.
But any closet to me is more than I have at home. </p>

<p>30 tshirts
4 long sleeve shirts
10 Under armour type shirts
4 Under armour long sleeve shirts
10-15 going out shirts
6 polos
5 button ups
4 flannels
4 cardigans
4 sweaters
2 dresses
1 polar fleece jacket
1 softshell jacket
6-7 sweatshirts
1 raincoat
2 lacrosse jackets</p>

<p>8 jeans
3 khakis
4 shorts
25 athletics shorts (i play a sport)</p>

<p>2 pairs of running shoes
3 pairs of regular sneakers
2 sperrys (comfiest shoes ever)
2 pairs of flats for going out
2 pairs of flip flops
1 UGGs
1 Bean Boot Slip ons
1 cleats
1 turf shoes</p>

<p>all the socks and underwear I own</p>

73

<p>What would you do if you found out you might not have a closet?</p>

<p>I am thinking I am going to have to downsize my wardrobe from reasonable to scant…</p>

74

<p>I can’t think of a single sport that would require 25 pairs of athletic shorts.</p>

75

<p>Two weeks is ok> of cause, do nnot forget take your favourite.</p>

76

<p>I think some of the naysayers are misjudging how little room clothing takes up. I am even plus-sized, so my clothes take up more space than most people. All of the clothes I listed, plus some I didn’t, fit in about 2 feets of hanging space and two small to medium drawers. Hanging up a dress or shirt doesn’t even take up half an inch of closet space. If you get a pants hanger, you can hang 5 pairs of pants in less than half an inch of space. You can hang 20 scarves or ties on a single scarf hanger. It SOUNDS like a lot, but that doesn’t mean it is. 30 pairs of underwear - especially for a size 5 - don’t even take up half a drawer.</p>

77

<p>Ok, first, people are saying like 20 purses and 50 shoes, which take up a lot more room than a shirt. Second, if you are a size 5 (given that you said "especially for a size 5) then you are most certainly NOT plus sized. If 5 makes you plus sized, then I must be extra-plus.</p>

78

<p>No, I said that I am plus-sized. If someone else is a size 5, then their clothes are going to take up almost no space at all.</p>

79

<p>Well, I still say 70-80 shirts is overkill. Laundry is a wonderful thing.</p>
