I live in jeans and shorts, I don't own a skirt or dress and don't feel the need to 0_0 
Oh, no, tell a lie, I have the dress I made for my son's wedding 3 years ago, obviously never it worn since.

It's mostly trousers or leggings with a top in winter and dresses in summer for me.  When the weather is very warm just looking at someone wearing full length trousers makes me feel hot.

I'm wearing a dress with leggings today, popped on my knee high flat boots and went for a walk, really liking the combination.
So maybe more knit dresses in the future!

I need a wardrobe cull, same reasons as @realale. I’ve been putting this off for ages. As for using nice clothes at home, I would need a couple of those dinner lady overalls and a boiler suit. In fact an honest appraisal of lifestyle would prioritise cover ups.

I've been trying to wear things off the rail, and if they are keepers, wash and hang back up in the wardrobe.
A few things didn't make it past try on and got donated.
Its a good job the rail can stay up for a while as its a slow process.

The rail only a third full so I've taken it out to the garage today, I was a bit worried it was going to become a fixture, so glad to get it moved.
I've shoved the "to be reviewed" items in the wardrobe, but all in the same bit so I can still pick from there.

I donated all 3 pairs of my RTW jeans once I had sewn myself a comfortable pair of Jeans (Mountain View Pull On), so am really pleased about that. Better one pair I can wear all day, than 3 I can hardly bear for a couple of hours!
