Michel, I separated from my significant other around the same time as you did and our journeys of growth have been so similar this far. It's very comforting to see someone who's in the same boat as me and I've gained a lot of confidence seeing you do things proudly that I do timidly, and it's encouraged me to really lean into this season of life and make a big effort to fall in love with life again. Thank you for doing what you're doing and being you 😊
Natalie, this gave me chills. Knowing I have friends experiencing life right along side me, via online, makes this so special. I’m so proud of you for getting through a similar season. I love you dearly and am so happy you’re here!
there is absolutely nothing wrong keeping some favourites that don't currently fit. I fluctuate quite a bit so I always keep 2 sizes of everything in my wardrobe. I mean not the same exact pice cos I find most my clothes in the secondhand but basically I have everything I need in two sizes.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping a few of your favorite pieces. I love your idea for those doors and that you got to spend the day with your sister.
From experience, it’s a good idea to keep hold of some clothes in your old size, even if they don’t fit you right now. I got rid of so many good items that would fit my growing pregnancy body now and I so regret it!
The best clothing advice I've ever received is to always have a few key items a size up and a size down from your usual. Especially as women, our bodies fluctuate so much that it just makes sense to be somewhat prepared so it doesn't cause upset every time something becomes too big or small
The purge is so necessary. I am a in and out person for my closets. If a new item goes in then an old item goes out. I was taught this from my mom and it’s a great way to stop hoarding items.
"this was my favorite vintage find of all time" - I appreciate that you're thinking of sending it out to someone that's into that team/sport, but I wanted to share something that I went through similarly. My all-time favorite thrift find was an oversized shirt that turned out to be official merch from a late '90s/2000s show I adored. It was unfortunately emotionally/mentally tainted. Couldn't quite let it go, though. Upcycled it with the help of a friend and now it's a nice throw pillow thing. So...I keep the actual thing, but it's not in the form that brings a lot of heavy memories (and the stained part has been chopped away). Hope that made sense!
I JUST finished clearing out my closet and dressers before sitting down to watch this vlog. 😁❤ I have 5 trash bags full to take to the thrift shop tomorrow. If it didn’t bring me joy, out it went. 😊
When you were trying the vintage outfits, the thought crossed my mind, I wonder how Michele deals with all her excess clothing. Loved the moment by moment top and short/pant try on. Will you do the same for your dresses and skirts.
@@MichelJanse my mom has always kept a small bin of basic tops and bottoms that are 5-10lbs up and 5-10lbs down her size because she says every year she may waiver on weight and that way she can always have something to feel confident what fits and not be ashamed during that time
This was so much fun watching you two have a sister shopping day! Jacklyn looks like your Mother's twin. You are both adorable! I just did the whole closet clean out thing too. I have such a hard time parting with my old clothes. but I did really well this time. Thanks so much for sharing!
I just wanted to say how much I am loving your vlogs! I have loved the travel content and also just following your journey into finding yourself again. Also I finally took the plunge and ordered a sheet set and some towels from your link. I am so excited, I have heard great things about Brooklinen. I hope you are having a wonderful time in Hawaii!
Love this so much and I am so obsessed with all your content! Thank you for being such a light in my life! You are so amazing at what you do and you never cease to amaze me! I am so happy I get to have a front row seat at your day to day life! I love getting to see what you get up to and its so entertaining and enjoyable! You have such a kind, sweet, and gentle presence of this platform! I also love seeing you thriving and being happy! Makes me happier too see you is this season in life in Hawaii with jordy and living your best life! Thank you foir being so authentic and showing everything! I hope that you have an amazing rest of your day! Happy wednesday!
Hey! Wanted to recommend a gift for your bf - since they collect pins but don’t put them on anything, you could create a cork board (this could be very casual or dressed up to be more sophisticated). You seem to be a sentimental gifter and I think this would be perfect!
The try on portion was like that Tiktok 'If I like it, I'll just grab it in another colour' 😂 No hate! I do the exact same thing with striped midi dresses haha
Random, but thank you so much for your videos! I needed something to take my mind off surgery tomorrow, really appreciate the break from overthinking 🥰
Absolutely love your vlogs Michel! I’ve been going through quite a few similar situations here in the past 8 months, and watching your videos definitely makes me feel less alone. So thankful for you and your content!
sometimes keeping some of the super favorites that don't fit anymore stored away is a good idea. Our bodies especially as women change like you said, so it may fit again! definitely can't keep everything though. I struggle with letting go!
Totally normal! Your internal "thermostat" and nervous system are used to the crap since you were in it for so long. It takes intentional working through to change what your nervous system is used to. Breathing exercises and somatic exercises have really helped me, austin has a somatic exercise place as well, you should check it out!
It is not silly to keep some clothes that are a loose on you because once your new relationship is not so very new and you are more comfortable and less giddy (no shame, we all go through that) you will surely gain a little weight and they will fit. So pack those in a container (be sure to include the shirts with collars you love but are swallowing you). Then your closet will be neater and have only things that fit perfectly.
Don't at all think it's silly to keep a couple sizes of clothes around, especially if your weight fluctuates or you expect it to change. I only keep my very favorite items of sizes that no longer fit me, but then I make sure to take them out of the closet and put them in storage (under the bed or something similar). That way they're not making it more difficult to get dressed in the morning, and next time your weight goes up/down you get to wear some of your favorite clothes again! And also just have something to keep you comfortable if you can't afford to repurchase a whole new wardrobe right away. I do the same with bras because my size changes a bunch. I wouldn't keep anything that you're not crazy about if doesn't fit you right now though - not worth the space.
Fun video - you are so lucky to have your sister close by- my sister lives in Germany and we can’t see each other that often . Decluttering - I have to do that also , it’s just not easy to decide . By the way , your Everlane white shirt with black stripes yes- I have this also . Greetings from Florida 🐍🦈🌴🦩
hey michel i was at austin a couple days ago and i COULD NOT STOP THINKING “michel probably went here” “imagine if michel pops up” but i enjoyed austin girly!! you helped so much with recommendations especially lucky robot!! have a lovely day ☺️
I’m literally still so in love with this Victoria’s Secret shirt, do you know which size it is? I’m trying to find one similar, but you definitely have the best pattern!! 😍
Hi, I don't tend to buy new clothes or towels anymore because one day when I bought a new shirt, someone was there and cut a hole in my shirt which means that someone sent a message to tell me that I am like a poor person. U look great with new clothes. Have a great evening
This was fun! I need to do the same w/ my wardrobe. I think I remember when you found the Dodgers shirt!! I love it. I wonder if you're going to sell it 🤩🤔
'cutting out the middle-man' sounds like a myth, because unless you buy direct from the manufacturer of the fibrers and the people who make the product then the business you're buying from IS the middleman. They're just less greedy with their markup
Love your videos! I love to thrift too. How do you clean furniture so you don't get pest? That happened to a friend of mine and I have yet to get furniture.

Same here! Mine was signed a week ago. Lots of love to you two beautiful women 💗
@@Lilly.Stukert lots of love to you, Lilly, you are so strong 💜
Sending lotta love from here

This is very smart - and definitely would help w the mental health aspect of weight fluctuating for me!
You and Jacklyn are adorable!!! Love that you have your family so close!! So much fun!
The square shoulder tanks are sooo flattering on you 🤩 The try on was such a fun idea!
Don't be shy about making your vlogs longer. I would okay with a whole hour 😄
I absolutely love seeing you and your sister together, having fun and sister time 💕💕💕
I will never get tired of a good closet clear out
Jacqueline talking about being a wife was so cute 😆😊
She’s the sweetest lil wife 🥹🥹
I love these trying on your closet and declutter videos! It’s so fun seeing what people have and what they decide to part ways with
Michel and Jacqueline remind me so much of the sisters in 27 dresses. Like so spot on!
“Feels great to replace the once that don’t fit” feel of the day ❤️
🥰🥰🥰
Michel is so great! You have helped us through so much by being vulnerable! We love supporting you!
🥹🥹🥹 this means more to me than you know. Thank you 🤍
Your wardrobe is so fun and fresh, love all of the different blouses and tops you have. Very stylish and sophisticated 😊

Love that you did such a thorough wardrobe clear out AND that you then purchased selectively some replacements that can bring you joy.

Your body shouldn’t fluctuate so much, it’s not normal and has nothing to do with being a woman.
The purge is so necessary. I am a in and out person for my closets. If a new item goes in then an old item goes out.
I was taught this from my mom and it’s a great way to stop hoarding items.

For those shorts that are a little big put them in your storage unit for later. Just an idea
It's something great seeing you and your sister having good time together.
Keep the vibe going....
I need to do the same thing girl…..You inspired me to organize and thin down my closet💕❤️
It feels so nice to have only what you love!

One of my dogs likes water on hot days, the other just likes to stay inside. Playing with toys, Frisbee, ball, tug toy etc are all helpful
Sister shopping is wonderful and at an antique mall is even better! The closet tryon was fun.
Lime for lap dance girl🤣❤️
I thought it said that too 🤣
HAHAHAHA
I love you and your sister together. It's always fun when you show her. 🤍
I absolutely love replicas coffee break. My favorite. So cute seeing you and your sis together ❤️ 💗. Too cute.
Michel and Jaqueline, You two are just adorable, beautiful and so fun to watch!,
Jacqueline looks so much like y’all’s dad and you are literally your mom’s twin!
Her reasons for keeping/not keeping each top made me laugh every time!

It feels so nice and fresh!

Your life is a gift from God, and in that, it deserves reverence, respect and love. You are a beautiful soul and you are on your way.
Family is everything

I have already put back on a few pounds this month so I think it’s a great idea too! Thank you friend!

Good morning michel happy Thursday morning and I loved your channel and your vlogs is amazing
Cool stuffs

Love the new chill background music
Been loving your vlogs and seeing JJ on here! Would love to see more closet content! Love watching you build your style and swapping out things!
Thanks for sharing
love goodwill hauls and see your family in the videos as well ❤❤❤❤
Brook linen's sheets are fantastic too!!
Amazon has a ton of cute office chair covers if you need
Hi. I'm from Pittsburgh Pa. Just stopped at Target and they now carry Magic Spoon. It's a little pricey ($9.99)
You have a beautiful family!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕💕🌼🌸🌺
Amazing 🤩
I've never owned that many clothes before.
I'm so happy for you and proud of you. I have been working on my closet as well.
Now in search of 80s pajamas 🙌🔥
Definitely recommend keeping some of your shorts in hopes you gain the weight back
Great video. Lovley to see Jacqueline too . Thats a lovley linnen uit fit you bought ❤️
Enjoy rest of your week 🥰
You might have inspired me to go through my clothes so thank you!
What store did your sister get that marble garbage can I loved the lighter ones above her head
OMG I'm dying to know where you got the very first item you tried on... black top that exposes your shoulder with a little gap at the front!!
Your just getting tinier and tinier. I don’t love every piece so firm fitting. Glad you kept a equal balance. Closets are meant to be balanced.
I hope you kept both loose black tanks bc they both looked amazing on you!!
Oooh Michel! Those brown trousers! Sooo good. Can you link them or tag them on instagram the next time you wear them! Soo good. Thanks friend 🐝
I would take those boxy office work shirts off your hands for you 🤣. Also that black floral tank/bra is sooo cute!
Hi ladies, love that rug!
I LOVE the rug that your sister got for her kitchen! What store were you guys at??
Love your channel ❤ new subscriber
hey michel i was at austin a couple days ago and i COULD NOT STOP THINKING “michel probably went here” “imagine if michel pops up” but i enjoyed austin girly!! you helped so much with recommendations especially lucky robot!! have a lovely day ☺️
AWE! I hope you had the best time! So glad you got to explore the city 🥰

Woow just saw your upload as I was decluttering my closet myself haha. Looking forward to doing that now together with you :))
Time to replenish 😎😁🤠
💃🏼😍
I like opening my closet and drawers knowing every single thing in there fits. If you must keep items that do not, put them in a tote.
Amazing
Nice been with friends
I love any video that has anything to do with you trying on clothes it's so fun
This was fun! I need to do the same w/ my wardrobe. I think I remember when you found the Dodgers shirt!! I love it. I wonder if you're going to sell it 🤩🤔
I miss the intro music tho
May I ask where the first black tank is from! It is exactly what I have been looking for! 🥰
Cool
I would LOVE your dodger top! 😩 lol 💙⚾️
Nice shot

You keep amazing me, I would also organize my closet
Wow
I love this
Love your clothes! So hard to find clothes in the styles and colours you have. Any go to online retailers you buy from please? :)
Michel, I adore neutral v-neck flowy top with the back tie (the one you weren't in love with but keeping lol)! What brand is it?!
