I recently found your channel and you’ve motivated me to declutter so much. I just removed over 4 HUNDRED items from my wardrobe And countless items from other parts of my home and finding more every day! I’ll do another clean out in 6 months! Love watching your videos! From Newfoundland, Canada!
It’s taken me over 2 years now and I still need to do one last very serious purge. I just packed another bag for donation now! Why am I hanging on to 20 pairs of tights from my days in the Midwest-US when I live in the desert now. Ugh.
I went through some items again yesterday and today and can’t believe how much more I still need to purge. I was feeling pretty good after my huge purge but I think I realized another huge purge is needed. Just filled 5 bags of donations and garbage.
With that red top that you tuck in, I'd give it a couple of saving stitches to stop that hole getting bigger. It looks like georgette, so hopefully you can do them loose so it doesn't pucker.
Random, but your hair and the color of it are so gorgeous, the warm color just makes your face glow! And also, love your decluttering videos. Relaxing to watch whenever, and motivating when I'm needing to do the same
Thankfully I learned to alter my own clothes in high school & since then. I’ve always been fascinated by how clothes are made. That’s been a huge blessing for me personally because like a lot of women, my body is NOT just one size! That’s a myth made by the clothing manufacturers. I’m large busted, long torso, & short legs. I have always carried most of my weight in my hips & thighs. Clothing is generally designed for an underdeveloped young woman who’s generally not the average weight as the average population that clothing is being bought by. So, thankfully I can make my wardrobe fit me better in clothing that I like, other than the uniforms that I wear at work that are geared towards a lot different body type than mine!
I used to have a friend and she had 3 pr jeans, a pair of good black pants, about 5 tops, one dress ( for a wedding or dinner out) And a dress jacket, a sweater, and a winter coat. That was all she owned! She did have anout 6 pr of shoes. Lol They were wealthy. But, she sure didnt spend money on clothes. She always looked clean, neat, polished and pretty. I don't think I ever saw her stressed out. She was a true minimalist!
So motivational. Honestly love your videos. My closet has been decluttered a thousand times and I so want to pair down to clothes I actually wear. You’re the best!
I can't emphasize enough how the view outside the window is beautiful, you may live in L.A. but it feels like the country. Seing the breeze out the window and the expense of the glass, to wake up in the morning with that view of lush green. WOW! Not a lot of people have that in a city, especially N.Y. It is soothing, so relaxing. I like the impractical handbag, I would see it as an item to display on the tall shelf you have, so your accessories are on display like a boutique; your own boutique! We love your vibe, your smile. You communicate very well, I would see you as a weather lady on the tv.
Ya Carla is back! I did a major Dr clutter project and gave 10 bags to a thrift store. I I felt the relief so immediately. Once again, start refilling in the other bag and hopefully will make another big trip by the end of the year 🎉♥️
I’m so jealous of your natural hair texture! It’s so beautiful!! Also this is inspiring me to declutter my closet, so thank you. I love how honest you are about what you aren’t keeping
At 17:17 the impractical (but super cute) bag you could do what I do with old baskets and put dried flowers/greenery on them and hang them on thewall or put them on a table looks very cute and it's a way to use them as decor
I just started the top shelf stuff in my closet yesterday and already got rid of two small boxes. (Mostly “fantasy “ crafts I’ll never do) now on to the floor since I may be able to move it up onto the shelf. Always good to reevaluate your belongings. I like your idea of upgrading the stay at home wardrobe. Why can’t I wear cute but comfortable instead of stuff that is stained, has holes or just NOT flattering. Always good spending time with you 😉
Yay! Carla is back! And Samson too. I love your videos and vibe. You look fantastic and don’t feel bad about not being fully cured from keeping things 😂. No shame, I think it’s good to keep things if that’s what you feel. I save things and often will be excited when I’m ready to come back to them, even if a couple years later sometimes! 💕 p.s. the impractical bag is adorable!!! Maybe put it on display with a little hook and put some beautiful dried or faux florals in it 😍.
ohh the brazilian music.. i feel it as a divine sign :) to declutter and reduce consumption to save for the dream travels :) Brazil :) i dream of it since too long :)
Carla....watching you try on several hats, scarves, etc...dark colors and rich jewel tones (dark or vibrant versions of blue, purple, hunter green, burgundy) are definitely your colors. Pale / pastel versions of those same colors wash you out, and yellows, oranges clash a bit with your undertone (at least on screen). I agree, animal print in brown / black is also a winner!
Absolutely love this process you undertake regularly. Your clothes rack is one of my fave things about your place, and the neat little group of dresses and jumpers (sweaters). That capsule wardrobe is fabulous. I am at home a lot and struggle with the whole leisure wear/neat relaxed combo. I’m keen to see your investment in new leisurewear. I’m always motivated after watching your vlog ❤
It's totally ok to save some things that you're not sure you're ready to give up yet. I have a "Time will Tell" box - right now it's a Banker's Box - of clothes that I'm just not sure about - I put a post-it note with the date and check back in 3-6 months to make a decision about them
Good to see you and Samson again Carla 😊 I really enjoyed watching this and feel like I need to recheck my wardrobe to see if I can declutter anything else 😀
What I like you don't have a lot but you don't go overboard buying and collecting and filling your wardrobe with stuff you never use. Most of us have closets five times fuller and don't know what we have in there lol ❤
❤ yep keep the red and black beret or hats. Your hair with them looks beautiful on you. Scarfs look great on you. Enjoy your channel I discovered recently. Kudos to your all patience to go in there and do. You are great and inspiring and boy do you get determined to do it all
Oh my goodness - your curls are PERFECT! Love, love, LOVE the straw bag! Would be adorbs with a bouquet of flowers! The hats and scarves are so YOU! Fun video!
This is so helpful! I love that you are doing intentional shopping! I need to do that as well! You have inspired me to clean out my clothes and make it a manageable task! Love all your cute clothes and those berets were so cute on you! Glad you decided to keep them!
Yes invest in matching work out gear,hoodie t shirt and bottoms but what about a colour? .grey you can get anywhere .did this a couple of years back felt so put together, and as it aged it still went with other items for wearing at home
You have the cutest happiest pieces in your wardrobe! If you ever did a video sharing your full current wardrobe including brands and everything, I'm not of those curious people who would love that and would track down the pieces I loved on the internet haha
Your hair looks gorgeous! Great job decluttering, I'm excited to see what you buy. I'm living vicariously through you since I want to look polished and comfortable too but I'm terrible at shopping for myself.
Your closet declutter last year was the first video I saw on your channel, and I have been watching you since. I love your channel and how you help so many of your friends declutter get organized. ❤
Wrap dresses work great for me too. I am a size 4 on top and 8 on bottom, so it's hard to find dresses that fit the bust and have enough room in the hips. Wrap dresses just seem to work so well for this. ❤
That gorgeous deep pink wrap dress would also look amazing worn over wide leg pants or bootleg jeans with a cute boot or strappy sandal when you want to show a little décolletage but feel more covered up from the waist down. Tres chic! But I bet it also looks killer on you as a dress. That color is beautiful! ❤
Great video! I have to admit that it is surprising to me that you are still able to find stuff to de clutter in your home. However, sometimes you’re not ready to get rid of stuff on the first round and the next time you declutter you can let it go. I have become a mini hoarder but I still find your videos motivating and relatable. Give Sampson a little rub for me.
liked the thought process behind each item/decision. I like things modest for me personally so things like crop tops I don't tend to buy but could be worn over a dress so no midriff revealed and tops that are too low cut or plunging either safety pin closed like a wrap top or wear a top underneath for that extra coverage. When I declutter I also have a mend/repair and alter box for things that need alteration like hems or sleeves or side seems and upcycle
Love your videos so much 😭🥰🥰 A long dresser with 6 drawers was a truly a game changer for me. After I decluttered, everything besides my nice hanging clothes fit into it, and there’s room to spare. I can keep track of everything, and know where I need to add (and subtract) as well! 😄
I love that u are keeping those scarves from your Mom. They are classy. Now I have to get three boxes and use this approach. Keep well Carla and Samson!
I loved the video. Decluttering is very cathartic. I miss the sun in LA (streaming through leaves in your window). It's a different quality than where I now live.
I recently found your channel and you’ve motivated me to declutter so much. I just removed over 4 HUNDRED items from my wardrobe And countless items from other parts of my home and finding more every day! I’ll do another clean out in 6 months! Love watching your videos! From Newfoundland, Canada!
I can’t explain how much it means to finally find a Black decluttering/organization RUclipsr. I’m so excited every time I see you post
thank you so much here to represent!!
I started to declutter in 2020 and I still can find things in my closet I don't like (anymore). So it's comforting that I am not the only one.
I'm the same! You're not on your own!
It’s taken me over 2 years now and I still need to do one last very serious purge. I just packed another bag for donation now! Why am I hanging on to 20 pairs of tights from my days in the Midwest-US when I live in the desert now. Ugh.
Don't feel too bad! It took me three years to curate from three wardrobe to 40 pieces keep going 🎉🎉
I went through some items again yesterday and today and can’t believe how much more I still need to purge. I was feeling pretty good after my huge purge but I think I realized another huge purge is needed. Just filled 5 bags of donations and garbage.
i started in 2018, and trust me, you can think your done decluttering and then you look at something one day and are just over it
Please never move... that bedroom tree/window view is stunning and looks so peaceful.
With that red top that you tuck in, I'd give it a couple of saving stitches to stop that hole getting bigger. It looks like georgette, so hopefully you can do them loose so it doesn't pucker.
Closet declutter is my task today. Thank you so much for the motivation 😊❤😊
I love your hair curly.❤ 😲 really enjoy your videos. 🇬🇧 xxxx
Random, but your hair and the color of it are so gorgeous, the warm color just makes your face glow! And also, love your decluttering videos. Relaxing to watch whenever, and motivating when I'm needing to do the same
Was missing my Carla motivation! So happy to see a new video with a great closet overhaul. Threadup instead of Posh, good move! 😍
Yes! Thank you!❤️
Me too!
Carla I completely agree with you, you should totally wear those French berets. They look super cute on you!
Thankfully I learned to alter my own clothes in high school & since then. I’ve always been fascinated by how clothes are made.

I’d love to find a good tailor apparently it makes a world of difference!
I used to have a friend and she had 3 pr jeans, a pair of good black pants, about 5 tops, one dress ( for a wedding or dinner out)
And a dress jacket, a sweater, and a winter coat.
That was all she owned!
She did have anout 6 pr of shoes. Lol
They were wealthy.
But, she sure didnt spend money on clothes. She always looked clean, neat, polished and pretty.
I don't think I ever saw her stressed out. She was a true minimalist!
Yay! A reason to stop and go through a drawer! ❤I was starting to worry about you and Samson 😂
Carla, it is so nice to see you back. You have been missed. 😊
Sampson as well 🥰
yes we missed you
🤗we missed you all too!!
So motivational. Honestly love your videos. My closet has been decluttered a thousand times and I so want to pair down to clothes I actually wear. You’re the best!
Takes time but so worth it!!

So pleased to see you and Samson, I was starting to worry as you hadn't posted.😊
Me too!
Aw thank u we accidentally took a holiday 😄❤️
It was clever the way you showed the handbags in front of the picture. Well done, decluttering your clothes.
You should put some faux greenery in that “impractical” purse and use it as decor
Ya Carla is back! I did a major Dr clutter project and gave 10 bags to a thrift store. I I felt the relief so immediately. Once again, start refilling in the other bag and hopefully will make another big trip by the end of the year 🎉♥️
Love your declutter videos they’re so relaxing to watch.
That butterfly bag is EVERYTHING
I’m so jealous of your natural hair texture! It’s so beautiful!! Also this is inspiring me to declutter my closet, so thank you. I love how honest you are about what you aren’t keeping
You are stunning in the berets! I love them on all that beautiful hair!
At 17:17 the impractical (but super cute) bag you could do what I do with old baskets and put dried flowers/greenery on them and hang them on thewall or put them on a table
looks very cute and it's a way to use them as decor

Depends on the overall condition but those little tears can be darned up pretty easily and then you can extend the life of your item!
Yay! Carla is back! And Samson too. I love your videos and vibe. You look fantastic and don’t feel bad about not being fully cured from keeping things 😂. No shame, I think it’s good to keep things if that’s what you feel.

Maybe put it on display with a little hook and put some beautiful dried or faux florals in it 😍.
Your hair looks amazing! And as a Brazilian watcher, I was thrilled to listen to a Brazilian samba/bossa nova playing on the bags and hats part 🥰
Carla, you are a woman of such a sweetheart! Never change! Stand Strong! Stand Tall! Always remember to keep fighting the good fight!
You look adorable in your berets. It reminded me I have to get mine out and actually WEAR them next winter.
You look really pretty in hats! Wear the berets Carla. ❤
ohh the brazilian music.. i feel it as a divine sign :) to declutter and reduce consumption to save for the dream travels :) Brazil :) i dream of it since too long :)

The berets look soo CUTE on you DEFINITELY keep!
Those first two keeps would look great together 😊
Yay 😊 Carla has breezed in with a new video looking lovely 🥰
Absolutely love this process you undertake regularly. Your clothes rack is one of my fave things about your place, and the neat little group of dresses and jumpers (sweaters). That capsule wardrobe is fabulous. I am at home a lot and struggle with the whole leisure wear/neat relaxed combo. I’m keen to see your investment in new leisurewear. I’m always motivated after watching your vlog ❤
I hang up almost everything and only fold sweatshirts, sweaters, and shorts. Sort by color and use matching hangers too!
It's totally ok to save some things that you're not sure you're ready to give up yet. I have a "Time will Tell" box - right now it's a Banker's Box - of clothes that I'm just not sure about - I put a post-it note with the date and check back in 3-6 months to make a decision about them
Great strategy!
Good to see you and Samson again Carla 😊 I really enjoyed watching this and feel like I need to recheck my wardrobe to see if I can declutter anything else 😀
Yay, thank you!🥰
Oh, I love decluttering videos 🤩 Thank u!
I'm so glad!
What I like you don't have a lot but you don't go overboard buying and collecting and filling your wardrobe with stuff you never use. Most of us have closets five times fuller and don't know what we have in there lol ❤
The berets yes!!!!!!!! Love the music and how you edited this
❤ yep keep the red and black beret or hats. Your hair with them looks beautiful on you. Scarfs look great on you. Enjoy your channel I discovered recently. Kudos to your all patience to go in there and do. You are great and inspiring and boy do you get determined to do it all
Your hair is stunning xoxo Fab declutter!
Thank you so much💗
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy watching your videos, your smile is contagious ☺️
Oh thank you!
My mouth dropped when you wore that beret.. looks fab on you..
I love your declutter videos! 👍
Btw your hair look soooo amazing, girl😍
Oh my goodness - your curls are PERFECT! Love, love, LOVE the straw bag! Would be adorbs with a bouquet of flowers! The hats and scarves are so YOU! Fun video!
I thought the same thing about the straw bag. Too cute/artsy not to display.
Love that you made a shopping / replacement list at the end of the process ❤
Everythings good: hair 😻, Samson 😻, Declutter, thank you for sharing 😍
This is so helpful! I love that you are doing intentional shopping! I need to do that as well! You have inspired me to clean out my clothes and make it a manageable task! Love all your cute clothes and those berets were so cute on you! Glad you decided to keep them!
Hi. Nice to spend time together again. Love your hair so girly. And the lighter color👌👌❤️
Love, love, looooove your natural curl!!! It looks so healthy 😍 Watched it on a single breath!!! Thanks for having us over 🥰
You have the best music in your videos
Love the curly hair
I love your beautiful bedroom windows, it’s like you are living in a tree house!
I know who you remind me of now. Chili from TLC, especially when you were doing the hat montage. Good to have you back 👍🏾
Love seeing that cane bag in your vides, she so pretty.
Excellent (and motivating) declutter - your space is looking great!
Thanks so much! 😊
LOVE! your natural hair
I wear my random pairs of sweats plus random shirts and hoodies with pride 😊 Nothing wrong with that IMHO 💪🏼
Just started the video but had to say I;m so glad to see you posting. I was worried something was up.
A few delays but we’re back💗
Love love love how your hair look right now
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!
Your hair looks STUNNING curly! 😍
Love the curls!!!! I was born with curly hair which I think is Sassy!!!!
You look fantastic in berets, Carla! I look like an alien in them. Haha. Thanks for another inspiring, fun video. 😎
Loved this video. I feel like you should investigate what your colours are as you can certainly carry brights 👍
Yes invest in matching work out gear,hoodie t shirt and bottoms but what about a colour? .grey you can get anywhere .did this a couple of years back felt so put together, and as it aged it still went with other items for wearing at home
You have the cutest happiest pieces in your wardrobe! If you ever did a video sharing your full current wardrobe including brands and everything, I'm not of those curious people who would love that and would track down the pieces I loved on the internet haha
Dresses! I never wear dresses, but your summer dress collection is inspiring!
The pursue bit is so creative, I'm impressed!
Your hair looks gorgeous! Great job decluttering, I'm excited to see what you buy. I'm living vicariously through you since I want to look polished and comfortable too but I'm terrible at shopping for myself.
Wow, I never thought to hang my dresses like that. Thanks!
LOOOOOVVVVEEE your hair this way! I also have curly hair and it can be so fun when you embrace it!
Your closet declutter last year was the first video I saw on your channel, and I have been watching you since. I love your channel and how you help so many of your friends declutter get organized. ❤
Thank you so much!!💗💗

Wonderful as always. Ditto on doing something fun with the straw handbag. I also love the picture you did the purse review in front of.
Enjoyed greatly-both the content & how it's presented...thank you :)
What a beautiful hair I love !❤
My closet looks like yours after getting rid of 80% of my wardrobe this last year….feels so nice when I open my closet!
It does!
Great video! I have to admit that it is surprising to me that you are still able to find stuff to de clutter in your home. However, sometimes you’re not ready to get rid of stuff on the first round and the next time you declutter you can let it go. I have become a mini hoarder but I still find your videos motivating and relatable. Give Sampson a little rub for me.
I’ve been putting off my closet reset for a while now. It’s time. Thanks for the reminder friend
thank u friend!!
I am in awe of anyone who can wear berets so well. You are very lucky!
liked the thought process behind each item/decision. I like things modest for me personally so things like crop tops I don't tend to buy but could be worn over a dress so no midriff revealed and tops that are too low cut or plunging either safety pin closed like a wrap top or wear a top underneath for that extra coverage. When I declutter I also have a mend/repair and alter box for things that need alteration like hems or sleeves or side seems and upcycle
Yes 🙌 Perfect timing for my morning coffee ❤
Exactly ☕️
Morning!

I loved the video. Decluttering is very cathartic. I miss the sun in LA (streaming through leaves in your window). It's a different quality than where I now live.
I love your Fonzie (from Seasame Street) jacket .. 👵🏻❤️
Missed you! Glad to see you and Samson again
I feel motivated watching you. I hardly ever go through ALL the things like you do and well… it’s on.
I love your hair! Also thank you for the video and motivation!
You are so welcome!
Hi Carla, another great video. Your mother had wonderful taste.
You hair looks great. Your beautician really did that.
Girl, you look AMAZING in red!❤
Carla you are always a delight🌸
You're the best!💗
