Just how many pairs of jeans is too many....(stuff overload)

This week we have been unpacking and settling into our new house. Having lived for the last 6 months without most of our stuff, makes me wonder how much of it we actually need. I will always be loyal to my kitchen stuff, I do feel like I use and need everything I have there...well maybe the 3rd service for 12 of everyday plates is overkill since it is still in the box; but we do regularly have 15 or so people over and I'm never upset when I break a piece, since I know there is more readily accessible, even if the store stops carrying it...And if I had it to do over I would NOT have registered for fancy china...we do have holiday dinners, and I would love to be able to use it there, but again, I have service for 12, and a holiday dinner in our house is never less than 20 people...oh well, live and learn...But aside from that I really do use all of the kitchen stuff!
Having just returned to Miami, and taken 100+ boxes out of storage, I am really feeling stuff overload. This is particularly true in the clothing department...3 or 4 boxes each...plus 2 extra large boxes of sweaters and ski clothing....What are we doing with that much cold weather gear??? So today I am attempting a ruthless cleaning out...we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck!
