So, on a journey to rediscover her sense of style in last week’s episode of her family’s Hulu reality series, The Kardashians, Kim took a trip down memory lane to reflect on some of her old looks, which was possible thanks to her years-long collection of clothes meticulously stored in a literal warehouse.

And fans were certainly taken aback by Kim’s collection, which consisted of 30,000 garments that she’d worn at various events, award shows, and parties over the years.

“Every time I look at something, it’s just a memory,” she adds, before literally recalling the exact backstory behind several items of clothing.

As she reflects on her age-old outfits, Kim explains that she’s long had Kanye as a “crutch” to depend on when it came to making her fashion choices.

“When it comes to my style, I’ve always had Kanye there as this crutch to teach me so much about fashion,” she explains.

“Having that not be there as my crutch to guide me has really forced me to figure it out on my own,” she adds.

Well, it’s safe to say that Kim’s excessive collection left viewers shocked, with many taking to Twitter to comment on the “wasteful” collection.

Kim wore a stunning black Dolce & Gabbana piece, keeping in line with the brand of everything else at the wedding — right down to plates, cutlery, and food.

“The dress I wore to the wedding was a Dolce & Gabbana I purchased at Bergdorff Goodman in 2011 and wore it to the Glamour Awards,” she wrote.

“But to make the dress more modern and more me, I wore this lace gloved [Vetements] dress I had in my closet for a layered lace look,” she explained.

Fans were pleasantly surprised to learn that Kim had upcycled two of her old pieces, especially given that she so recently flaunted her entire warehouse of seemingly untouched old garments.

“I didn’t think I could love this look more but the fact you made it from an existing piece makes it actually perfect,” one person wrote. “Please do this more and more to encourage us all to reuse and recycle.”
