I use the replacement system for maintaining my wardrobe. When I am shopping, I can only buy something to replace something I already own. Therefore, I have to logically decide whether or not I need to replace an article of clothing. If I realize that what I own is in decent condition, I walk away (no matter how great the sale.) If I decide that something is no longer in wearable condition, I either have to throw it away, give it to charity or consign it to replace it with a new item.

This minimizes clutter and has helped me overcome impulse shopping.

Also, I will only allow myself a maximum of 2 trendy clothing items per season and they must be purchased on sale (hot and cold in FL.) Of course, the trendy items have to replace last season's trendy items. Then my 2 trendy items see quite a bit of use during the popular season.
