I have a tub in my closet so every time I get dress and I take something off cause I don’t like it on me anymore, I will put it straight into the container. That way I’m decluttering as I go and not repeating/ forcing myself to like it😅.
I hate denim, but I kept buying it over the decades because everyone said “it’s essential”. I hate the stiff, rough, hot and thick fabric and the killer waistbands. I never found a single pair of jeans, or any trousers, that fit me in 50 years, my hips are just too narrow, even men’s don’t fit. Nor do I really like the super-casual, worn look on me, my style is more elegant. I love soft, natural fibers, so that’s all I wear nowadays. I’ve always preferred skirts and, especially, dresses for their superior comfort, so that’s what I wear most days. At my age, 64, one no longer tries to force one’s body into clothing that just isn’t right.
Actually I used to hate the feel of jeans as well. But then I found Ann Taylor. They have a lot of stretch built in and the fit is fantastic. I have a curvy butt and just buy the curvy ones. People always say they look good and I'm astonished. You might actually end up sizing down one size. I had to.
I live in a 4 seasons country with extreme weather differences, so I always have a capsule wardrobe. It makes me feel so much better when I only have the clothes that I ware every day on my closet. Everything I love to wear on a day to day basis perfectly ready ❤
Yes. This is why I switch mine too, but sometimes it's tough because the weather can be super warm one day and then really cold the next. Glad you found a system that works for you!
How to declutter fast! The only decluttering rule I live by-the only one that works for me anyway-is to instantly put all of your items into a 'get-rid' pile, such as your clothes, jewelry, home accessories, et cetra, with an adamant mindset that you are about to rid of them all, only, you retrieve the items from the pile that you absolutely need or truly want to keep. This technique has helped me to sell or donate my things in great abundance than if I just spooled through my wardrobe and picked out only a couple of items. Another way to rid of your possessions is to look at an item and ask yourself, "If this were displayed in a store today, would I purchase it?" If the answer is no, get rid of it. I hope this helps!
I have an ongoing donation box in my closet and if I pull something out but don’t wanna put it on, or I put it on and then don’t feel great in it, it goes straight into the donation box - no matter if it’s brand new or an old fave. Out it goes!
I've just recently decided on saving a couple of things each year that I really love (like unique or cute pieces of clothing) but I not longer use, and put them all in a suitcase. It sounds crazy, but I think of giving them away in the future, to my children and my nieces, I just think of how my mom had all of these cute outfits in the past and she regrets not saving a couple of them for us, since a lot of those trends will always come back in a cycle. I take out less and less stuff every year because now I know what and what not to buy, and it becomes harder to give stuff away, so those pieces that I can't decide what to do with, will go straight to that suitcase.
@Simpleisbetterformetoo I would like some wool trousers for winter. I have some dress slacks, some wide leg pants my favorite are like a chiffon type fabric, I have some athletic pants that are loose and like a jogger but in a light drywick fabric. I do want some thermal overalls for winter something to fit over my clothes in winter, I have bad joint pain in the cold and I'm not even 40 yet. I don't mind my trousers yr round except I need a second layer if I wear the same pants. Our summers are over 100 but winters under freezing at times. So I wear thermals under my trousers.
Just found your channel and instantly subscribed! can you please share the brand or the link to the linen pants you mentioned in this closet declutter? I am in search of a good pair for my capsule wardrobe
I've got this weird mentality. Old dresses worn to events I keep telling myself that my daughter could wear it one day. Also, I'd get stuff that's a good price and most of time sits in my closet while I wear my jeans and tshirts cause I'm thinking my daughter wouldn't have to shop for my clothes when I'm older. I used to dump a lot of stuff at goodwill, but seeing that things comes around every decade or so, recently I was like I'm going to keep it instead of making the non profit CEO so rich. Problem is making room for them, so I need to get rid of my old worn out tshirts and stuff that i wear like ripped jeans :).
After having my son a year ago I have not been able to go back to jeans. They are just way to hot and uncomfortable on my changed body. It's so strange to me because jeans were all I ever used to wear. Dresses are now my go-to.🤷♀️
The quality and professionalism of your videos are fantastic, yet it’s surprising that they’re not gaining more traction in terms of views and subscribers. I reviewed your channel and found that your SEO score needs improvement. I’ve taken some screenshots to highlight the problem areas. Are you open to discussing this?
Color season types. You know, minimalist and capsule means not "liveless and no colors" right? Thats a myth, introverts made. Its about what you need and love. Elegance, style and blouses or blazers exist in colors and good material too. This cool clear white top is very off on you. Find your colors, you cant speak of style, if 10 000 other people wear a basic white shirt or jeans too Look to etsy. There you see the personality and not just a piece
GIRL you need some COLOUR............and try the Maxamalistic lifestyle instead....it is so much LESS STRESSFUL......love your day, live your life, .......give yourself as MANY choices as possible........really try that. ............
I did that 🤣and it caused me so much overwhelm. My closet used to be filled with color...and I never wore them. They weren't what I reached for. Instead I have embraced who I am, my style and prefer to keep selection easy. Having simple processes, like picking out an outfit helps me feel calm and focused.

YES! This is one of my favorite hacks because you don't have to spend an entire day or weekend decluttering. Just casually as you go. So smart!
That is a really good idea. I will give it a try 🤩
@@Simpleisbetterformetoo hope it helps😊

I love the canvas you have on the wall outsite your closet. Very nice colour scheme, i really like abstracts
Thank you! I threw some paint at it and called it art!
@@ReneeBenes 🤣🤣🤣
And you know what? You were right!
Gave up jeans about 7 years ago.
I am down to 3 pairs. I think I am getting tired of them too, so many other nice trousers to wear now 😊
Love this. I have heard so many people slam leggings and I just don't get it. They're my favorite.

I gave up skinny jeans too!! I can’t believe I strangled my legs for so long 😂
@@heartquaked Haha right? It took me so long to get used to them. I should have just let myself enjoy my flares and let it be!
Yeah, I gave up jeans 2 years ago, now I only wear dresses. Game changer.
Your music is too loud. I had to adjust for when you were talking and when the music came screaming on. 🙃
I'll try to work on that

So the summer ones I love are just from Target. The new nicer ones are Abercrombie!
I like your method but I'm such a hoarder that I get separation anxiety from getting rid of things. But I'm gradually removing items.
That’s so great to hear! ♥️

1:24 It looks like someone was shooting hockey pucks at your closet wall. 🏒
Probably just me chucking my shoes in at the end of the day. Haha.
