I grew up in a large, poor family. Never had more than 3 blouses, two slacks. Because of that, I hold on to ALL my clothes too long. Now, I tell myself, re-thrift things. My new philosophy is "you can't reach out to new things, new experiences, new favorite clothes, etc. ...if your hands ...or mind...is still holding tight to old clothes, old hurts, old regrets." This is how I am helping myself grow, change, try new things...in a new year!
Also back in the day clothing was made with better quality, and people had fewer items across the board. So I think if you have a minimalist/organized closet it will make life much easier. If you want to try something, maybe borrow a similar item from a friend to test it out.
I LOVE that you are playing around and switching up your styles. You showed me (at age 52) that it's possible to change and still be trendy and minimal!
@@OldWorldHome I promise I will get over this but for now I'm just laughing out loud that you know my name 🤣 I tell ya the internet is a small world apparently 🤷♀️ Anyway great video new friend and Swedish death cleaning is definitely under way here so it was great to watch while I work 🥰
Ok, I finally donated some pjs that didn't ever feel good and some other tops in my closet that were a little big or a little small. Took an a half hour if that to do it, and super relieved now.
We are closet “twins”! It is refreshing to see closets that are similar to mine and not walk in closets as big as my entire bedroom! 😊. I am now looking for some lovely wallpaper to add to my closet!
I loved your clean and classic style. I use a lot of your ideas for my wardrobe. I am trying hard to get use to the newer styles that people are doing. I am one of those creature of habits. LOL. Good for you changing your style and evaluating things.
Thank you for sharing! Hearing your rational to keep or toss gives me some good ideas of what to consider. The fact that you get rid of things in such a peaceful, no stress manner helps remind me that the process doesn’t have to be a negative event.
Your wooden hangers are nice, but take up so much space. I love skinny velvet hangers. Things don't slip off. You can fit way more in a closet. Always enjoy your channel.
I always enjoy your decluttering process videos. After this difficult past year I've found myself wearing too many oversized, careless things. So, for my mental health and spirit I went through my clothes and donated those items. I've promised myself I'll wear more fitted, flattering outfits this year even if I'm working in the house alone all day.
I went on a decluttering journey last year (still in it) and things I think Cas from Clutterbug and Dawn from the Minimal Mom would tell you is “if it’s not a clear yes, it’s a clear no.” Also, you’re keeping things for your “fantasy self”. I love all their decluttering tips.
Closet Declutter is on my list for January, too. We have had so much mild weather that I feel like I have a mix of seasons in my closet right now. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’ve just donated a load of clothes Hilary, but your tip about having a donation box in your closet is a great idea just popping them in as soon as you know your not wearing them 👍🏻, just getting rid of unwanted things makes, well my head feel so much lighter 😁 and so much more space x Thankyou x
I’m in that stage too! Organizing/decluttering mood. I think for me it’s taking down the Christmas decorations that does it, I go through this every year😂 but it feels so uplifting!!! Great job Hillary!!! Love your videos they always inspire me!!! Happy New year! 💕🎉🥳
I feel like we both have changed size after our babies this time. It has been fun finding new items and changing out pieces we no longer wear:) Also, I remember your vest years...I still have my one black vest that I wear for layering and keeping warm around our house and out for walks- on warmer winter days. Thanks for the declutter inspiration!
Love a tidy closet! I find, when buying thrifted clothes, I have WAY more in my closet than I need,,.... because hey, it was a dollar! I also find that I buy clothes that may not always fit the best, because - hey! It is two dollars...which leads me to have a closet full of clothes where I have way to much, and items I don't tend to grab, because they fit funny or are not comfortable...
I grabbed a couple things I knew I wouldn't wear anymore and donated last week but this was the push I needed to do a deeper purge today. Happy New Year!
I am motivated , it seems every three months I will do a small thrift . You would not believe the amounts of purses I have . Crazy . I can’t let go. Have a Great Day
Always enjoy watching your cleaning videos. Hubby and I are building a new house to prepare for retiring in a few years. Doing a downsize and my closet will be really small compared to what I have had. I have been planning how to have a basic wardrobe that is more realistic, especially since I have worked from home for about 5 years and don't need as many clothing options. I am finding if buy a few higher quality pieces that last longer I prefer that to multiple items. Happy New Year Hillary!
What a coincidence, I was just in my closet and getting ready to donate, then I see your video. I also have decided there are items in my closet I don’t want to wear anymore. I used to love to wear leggings, and this fall/winter I just don’t like to wear them anymore..I only kept a black pair. Love your decluttering videos. Love the jeans on you, you look amazing Happy New Year Hilary 😍
Hilary, you look so pretty! Your eyes and hair just look so pretty! I love decluttering and purging this time of year too! I would like to get by on as few pieces of clothing as you do. My closet is small too. Thank for the video. Happy new year to you and your family ❤
Happy HAPPY New Year! I was waiting for a closet refresh video from you, they are some of my absolute favorites. Your wardrobe videos are so helpful and encouraging, thank you for always sharing relatable and genuine content on your channel!
Looks great!! 🎉 I keep a donation box in our garage and add to it periodically. When it gets full, I drop it off. 😃 I’m much more likely to sort/organize if I have a designated place for donations. Happy New Year! Blessings! 💕🎉
It sure feels good to clean out a closet and you really motivate me to do it although I am still taking down Christmas decorations and you’ll be proud of me because I condensed my Rubbermaid bins down to 37 oh my goodness. No my house isn’t huge but I’ve been married for a long time and I’ve collected many things over the years I have downsized but I probably need to downsize some more and I definitely need to quit crafting🤣
I have worn vests for ages and I was looking for a new one but couldn’t find one I liked and decided that if I’m cold around the house, I’ll just wear a long sleeved a Cuddle Dud under a woolen sweater and that should do the trick.
Happy New Year to you and your lovely family. You have motivated me to really donate all the excess clothing and household things that I don’t wear or use.
Must be the season for decluttering! I did my closet and pantry and half the kitchen. Alas no footage (but) I’ve got a lot more to do! Nice work always Hillary!!!
@@OldWorldHome it so does! Always a process. Thanks for sharing the reality. I also have the “hovering pile happening” 😅 thanks for the encouragement! Have a lovely day.
Love to hear your thought progress regarding your clothing, I thought I was crazy for doing that! Whatever you do don't get rid of that leather jacket! 😉
You've inspired me to clean out my closet today! I am trying to replace some my skinny jeans with some looser fit straight leg jeans. It's been a very mild winter here and I realized that skinny jeans are really hot and not the most comfortable.
I am having such a hard time getting rid of clothes. I worked retail and have so many items that I haven't worn since the Lock Down, since I'm not working. But, they were investment pieces and I wonder if anything will get back to the "old" normal. We just don't travel or go out either. Maybe I should quarantine them for awhile and revisit?
I think that’s a great idea, stash them away somewhere so you don’t have to see them every day and go through that debate every morning! Make your closet work for your current life stage and re-evaluate in a few months ❤️
🤗 I need to do that. I have a lot of clothes from when I worked and I love them all but I really don’t need all of them (how much can one person wear)! I may have to work at it slowly - shell shock you know! Thank you Hilary!
I feel ya on the closet and clothes….I’ve needing to go through! I’m also VEST crazy. I have a ton. Posting on Mercari and Post some of them haha! I’ll use the OWH rule and let it sit on the sell site for a tad then….out it goes!
I’ve had them in the past, and honestly don’t care for how they stretch out thinner clothing items. I don’t feel I need more space so I’m very happy with the function and look of the wood, but the velvet are definitely great for space saving!
I always thought a walk-in wardrobe would be great - until I had one and never threw anything out for 10 years. Yikes ! I much prefer a smaller wardrobe with clothes I wear all the time, not just once (or never). More intentional, less waste.
Pull out what you DO use and see what’s left. Make a “time will tell” bin and stash items away in another room to be re-evaluated later. I bet once it’s out of sight it will be out of mind and you’ll learn to live with just your favorites.

What's better than a new old world home video? An old world home organization video ❤ I'm so here for this 🙌
Hey Sunday!!! Yes I agree LOVE the new OLD WORLD HOME Declutter! She’s so calm and I love her process in deciding. She’s so pleasant!
Ah thanks Sunday! ❤️
@@OldWorldHome I promise I will get over this but for now I'm just laughing out loud that you know my name 🤣 I tell ya the internet is a small world apparently 🤷♀️ Anyway great video new friend and Swedish death cleaning is definitely under way here so it was great to watch while I work 🥰
Just subscribed to your channel, Sunday. 🎊
@@debbiem6406 oh Debbie that is so kind of you 🥰 I'm so excited to have you as one of my tiny tribe of subscribers ❤ we have a good time over there
There’s nothing better than to tackle a good closet clean out! Yours looks great! ❤️
LOL I remember your "vest" phase. I knew this day would come. LOL
Love when you purge. It always motivates me to do the same.
You’ve inspired me to go though my closet… my clothes are way too big now.
Ok, I finally donated some pjs that didn't ever feel good and some other tops in my closet that were a little big or a little small. Took an a half hour if that to do it, and super relieved now.
We are closet “twins”! It is refreshing to see closets that are similar to mine and not walk in closets as big as my entire bedroom! 😊. I am now looking for some lovely wallpaper to add to my closet!
It’s more than enough space! I’d love to hear about it if/when you do ❤️
I loved your clean and classic style. I use a lot of your ideas for my wardrobe. I am trying hard to get use to the newer styles that people are doing. I am one of those creature of habits. LOL. Good for you changing your style and evaluating things.
I love love love seeing the thought process behind why items are decluttered! Thank you very much🤓
Thank you for sharing! Hearing your rational to keep or toss gives me some good ideas of what to consider. The fact that you get rid of things in such a peaceful, no stress manner helps remind me that the process doesn’t have to be a negative event.
Quite the opposite, getting dressed should be a positive thing every day so cleaning the clutter helps achieve that
A good video. I always love your sweet and gentle voice! 🥰❤️
Thank you for sharing your process! I thought tidy organized people like yourself never had to declutter! You inspire me every day in so many ways.
Quite the opposite, I’m always decluttering ❤️

I love how minimal you are. Our house was built in 1974 and is not modern with walking closet and master bath. Enjoy your videos.

I just did my closet as well!
GREAT tips!
I always enjoy your practical approach toward decluttering. Thanks for sharing!

I love those vests
When I saw the thumb nail I recognized your closet !
I love your organizing videos. So inspiring. Now, I want to go clean out my closet!
This video has motivated me to do my closet. I do the thrift store recycle myself, buy it and then donate it back, lol!!
It’s the best! Like renting ☺️

Thanks for walking us through the thought process! Your closet looks great now!

Beautiful closet! I love the wallpaper and wood hangers.
Good to see you Hilary and happy new year 🎉!!! Great job on your closet. I’m doing some donating as well 😊. Have a nice day!!!! 🤍

Admire your willpower to not hold on to items! Always enjoy your videos!
Love your videos Hilary, such a calm presence ❤
You & I share the same clean-out method. It feels so great to do. Btw, you’re looking great!

Love these kind of videos.
I cleaned out my closet yesterday 👍🏻

Happy New Year, Hilary! Love these motivational videos. Is there anything better than a closet full of clothes we actually love to wear?!
Looks great. I need to go through my closet again. There are things that I just don’t wear.
i recognize so many of the clothing items. can't say you didn't get your use from them! lol

Good job!
I wish I could be a minimalist but I probably have 10 times more than that I need to scale down though. I love my clothes & fashion too much lol
You are an inspiration, but you have to get flocked hangers the really do save space. The don't look as good as the wood but the are a game changer.
