OMG I do have so many coats! Might need to do a virtual declutter before I hop on that plane, Carla! Thanks again for all the encouragement in paring down, and thanks everyone for watching! NKOTB for life!
You have thee best style Michelle and you did great!!! I'm still drooling over many of your items. Virtual declutter for sure and parisian virtual check in video update in our future as well 😍😍
I love her style, clothes, decor and personality. I relate so much with the vintage coats love, I had a large amount I’d been collecting since high school but because of weight gain I couldn’t wear any longer, it was hard to let them go but I realized that someone else out in the world would be so happy to find them and love them the way I was as a teen and early 20s. Having that realization was the best mindset change I made when it came to letting things go.
Great decluttering! She was hooked at the end!! 😂 I can’t believe she still had pieces from when she was 18… 🙈 I don’t have anything that old in my closet, but then I’m not a sentimental person and I clean out my closet twice a year when the seasons change. It feels so freeing an refreshing to me.
The only thing I wish I still had was my cheerleading uniform from high school lol. I decluttered that decades ago but would really love to have that and maybe my varsity jacket too 😍
Ha ha, I’m over 60 and have some things left from my 20’s! But I do keep thinning out my stuff. I moved to another state going on two years ago and got rid of a lot of stuff, but I still have more to go. Hoping only the good stuff is left by the time I kick it! 😂
Your friend has style in droves - I loved all her outfits and hats and she looked fabulous in them. I'm very impressed at how she powered through the decisions - it was a pretty ruthless declutter!
Yes, Suit Case Designer is a must to subscribe to, I've been watching her for a long time. Her organizing videos are my favorites, she knows how to get through the stuff! You're doing a great job helping friends as well.
I loved this mini-serie! And I'm pretty impressed by your friend's memory. She was able to share a date and pin each memory in time so fast, I am admirative of the absence of fog in her brain 😅
I had everything from when I was young because I live in the same house I grew up in and that's why I still have them. Then, we renovated the house when I was 36. That's when I started to declutter / give away / throw away every old stuff. It's tough. I was still holding on to some things. It's a process. I watched videos on decluttering and read books on the topic to motivate myself. I had to do 3-4 rounds until I was brave enough to let go of childhood things, such as my 12 year old Mickey Mouse pencils, my university folders, books, clothes etc. The easiest way to let go of stuff is to know that we can't take them to the grave. It's just stuff. No one else care about them. Less/ No baggage equals happiness and freedom.
Decluttering is very spiritual to me. It’s a huge awakening of the mind. Life is not just consuming and collecting things but being present and conscience of the only actual time you have is now. I’m trying to always declutter, especially the mind to always be experiencing the now.
I am one of your early subscribers and love April’s channel too. I hope we can all do some international gathering someday. Have fun in France. Love from Istanbul!
Dang, I loved this series! You both did a great job. It’s awesome to see how much she downsized and just kept things she genuinely loved and could use.
Great job on those closets! I really felt like I was hanging out with you both! I’m so sad we won’t get to hear more of her stories. She is pretty amazing.
She did so well! I like to sell things on eBay and Poshmark too but it does take a lot of patience. Some things take 1year to sell 😮 but I just think well it’s in a bin in the closet and it’s not hurting me so it’ll sell some day lol. I’ve sold sold a couple hundred excess clothing items and shoes in the last couple years. This video just motivated me to sell some more.
Great job! Yes, I remember NKOTB and Teen Beat magazines. Those were the days. I get how it can be hard to let go of stuff that's worth money, but if you can sell it, try that first before giving it away. Awesome organization and Samson is a Wonderful assistant. Take care and many blessings to all of you. :)
I view any space I’m decluttering as a container. I can keep anything I want and love, as long as it fits in my “container”. Wardrobe, kitchen cupboards etc are all containers🤷♀️
Michelle did really well with the decision making especially over the more sentimental items which can be really difficult and i enjoyedlisteningto the storiesand memories that were connected to the items- I'm m glad she made a good amount of money at the yard sale and I wish Michelle all the best in Paris and beyond 😊
Sampson is nuts and I love him!!! What a transformation and you are very right, decluttering is addictive and once you start that addiction gains momentum. I am constantly looking around asking myself all the usual questions and somehow I still come up with tons of stuff to declutter.
I swore I was the only adult with a Cabbage Patch Kid in my closet. We are all so similar with the declutter. It gives me comfort and motivation to get moving on my closet and also not be so hard on myself. PS I am keeping my CPK.
She did really good! I clean out my closet pretty regularly and I do sell on Poshmark, my nieces get a lot of stuff also. Now I really don't need to dress up for work becuz I have to wear a uniform which makes me sad because I love to shop!!!!
wouah congratulations to let go so much ! i am in transition to move the other way round, from France to Latin America ;) and i feel that i have to let go so many things to avoid to take too much or store stuff in my family garage.. so i am in the same process.. and Fall season is perfect for letting go I feel.. as the not more useful leaves.. we let go what serve us for past seasons now.. ;)
Good work Carla and Michelle. I have no doubt that when you get to Paris you will end up decluttering again as you adjust your needs and wants to your new life. Well done, and I hope you feel freer have unburdened yourself from so many things.
The hats in Canada are called toques and even though they can be stylish if it's really cold they are pulled down around our ears.. the winters are getting warmer so you guys might be getting the snow with your beanies..I have to laugh..up here a beanie is almost flat like a saucer and sits on the back of your head....and young boys used to wear them in the forties.
My hallway closet was like Monica’s secret messy closet in Friends 😂 my mum came over and grabbed the door handle before I finished the word ‘no’ she was completely buried under Xmas decorations, handbags, coats… nerf guns 😂 she knows me very well so luckily she helped me and said she wondered where I stashed everything 😂
This was a great 2 part of decluttering with friends! Especially because I too am super organized but emotionally am attached to many clothing items/things. I learned a lot and honestly, it is helping me build up the courage to do the same 🤍 Thank you both 🤍
OMG I do have so many coats! Might need to do a virtual declutter before I hop on that plane, Carla! Thanks again for all the encouragement in paring down, and thanks everyone for watching! NKOTB for life!
You did a wonderful job 👏👏. It is hard to part with dresses which hold so many sweet memories.
Best wishes to you Michelle in your new Parisian adventure!
You have thee best style Michelle and you did great!!! I'm still drooling over many of your items. Virtual declutter for sure and parisian virtual check in video update in our future as well 😍😍
@@TheCarlaProject you got it! 🥰
You have/had some fabulous clothes!!

Totally relate and totally agree. Such a great shift when you know your things are being loved and used out in the world xo

Tres chic!!❤

YES!! She's the best I love TSD (April)!!❤
Hi Linda! Thank you! We've got some more organizing content on the horizon too! :)
That very first white vintage dress was GORGEOUS!!!!!
I loved this mini-serie! And I'm pretty impressed by your friend's memory. She was able to share a date and pin each memory in time so fast, I am admirative of the absence of fog in her brain 😅
lol same I cant remember where i put my keys half the time 😂
Jeez I sure hope your assistant is paid enough - looks like he pulls MOST the work!!! 😂😍❤️❤️

Great job!
FYI The pattern of the black-and-white scarf is houndstooth, not herringbone
lol I appreciate every time you count. I really thinks it puts into perspective our excess versus what we can particularly use.
This video is giving me Sassy magazine and Delias catalog vibes 😂 I'm here for it!
Decluttering is very spiritual to me. It’s a huge awakening of the mind. Life is not just consuming and collecting things but being present and conscience of the only actual time you have is now. I’m trying to always declutter, especially the mind to always be experiencing the now.
Love Michelle's sense of style! Might she be willing to do a fashion lookbook of the stuff she's keeping?
She really should!! I’ll tell her!!
her coat collection is UNREAL😻
Just wear your beautiful things! Just wear it!
She's so cute, the hats are taking her back through time. 😅
Besides another great declutter, I just have to say I love that your dog comes with you to these 😂 I hope your assistant gets paid! 😂🐾❤️
He is paid handsomely in doggie treats 😂
I am one of your early subscribers and love April’s channel too. I hope we can all do some international gathering someday. Have fun in France. Love from Istanbul!
I would so LOVE that!! It will definitely happen one day!!❤️❤️
I'm here for the dress 👏🏿
Just keeping that long pink coat and the furry black coat would be enough for a gorgeous wardrobe!
Dang, I loved this series! You both did a great job. It’s awesome to see how much she downsized and just kept things she genuinely loved and could use.
I also think you should get your own TV show...I am obsessed with every single episode!!!
You did a great job helping her declutter and sale stuff.
Great job on those closets! I really felt like I was hanging out with you both! I’m so sad we won’t get to hear more of her stories. She is pretty amazing.
Aw I love that!! I want it to feel like a hang out. Make sure to check out her channel...paris content coming soon!
She did so well! I like to sell things on eBay and Poshmark too but it does take a lot of patience.

Is your friend moving permanently or will she be coming back and keeping her apartment? This is fun watching the decluttering!
I was wondering that too
She will be gone for a year and then we shall see what the future holds...😍
OMG THE NKOTB JACKET! My first loves too. Never ever ever get rid of it or I will buy from you!
Omg cute, The Suitcase Designer sent me here! So cute to see the mirror promo of sending people back to her channel 🥰
she is my youtube bestie! we still gotta meet in person...one day!!❤️
@@TheCarlaProject can’t wait to see that crossover 😍

I feel happy after watching this video! Decluttering with friends is the best! I almost want to jump into the screen and be friends with both of you!
yayyy that is the vibe!! would so love to hang out with everyone in these comments how fun would that be!! xo
Carla, you need to go to Paris to see your friend who moved there to see how her closets are doing now!
Hey, Carla! Great job! Just a note that your “New-To-U” SCARF is the classic “HOUNDSTOOTH” (not Herringbone), Pattern. Enjoy!🥰🌸
I view any space I’m decluttering as a container. I can keep anything I want and love, as long as it fits in my “container”. Wardrobe, kitchen cupboards etc are all containers🤷♀️

She really did amazing!! New memories await :)
I love love love love her wardrobe! I wish I saw this video sooner, I would have purchased so many items 😂
Loved all the coats. Having trouble finding something well made & classic in my size so keep selling those “vintage” coats.
💛
So fun to see all the cool stuff she had. Great job ladies!😊🐦
Sampson is nuts and I love him!!! What a transformation and you are very right, decluttering is addictive and once you start that addiction gains momentum. I am constantly looking around asking myself all the usual questions and somehow I still come up with tons of stuff to declutter.
Michelle is so damn cool. Great style and memories.
That pink slouchy, pom-pom hat is so awesome and it looks gorgeous on you!
Phenomenal job, ladies! And did really well at the garage sales. Inspiring, as always. Love the pink hat on you, Carla! 🌷
U r doing good job. people going in depression because of house mess and they don't know about this
Awwww the red beret suited her so much ❤
keep the pink coat for layering, it doesn´t have to close...it is so nice on you!
Its just cool to see peoples stuff, hear the memories... almost like good ol days with ya girlfriends❣️
Holy cow, what a great sales person Michelle did great 😊
All vintage items are so fun! Beautiful coats! 😍
The hats look so cute on her too
OMG....you guys look great and SHE has A BRILLIANT TASTE!!!!!! Fashion
Houndstooth, not herringbone. And what a wonderful video, so inspiring and Michelle is such a great storekeeper storyteller.
Hey, hey, hey. Shout out to April. Love both your channels!! LKMH
Thanks Kate 😘
Some of those coats are actually amazing!
LA people are clothing people! Lol. I forgot what it was to live in Cali. Fashion place. Too much stuff! 😅😅😅
I can’t wait to see what area you all do next, not surprised at all that she’s having such success at the yard sales, she has beautiful items ❤
Ahh I’m experiencing this right now the struggle of selling coats and nice sweaters during downsizing can be so hard! She’s done a great job!
Keeping the things for your new life not your past self
Oh samson is such a good helper ❤ well done girls!
Black and White pattern is called houndstooth ;-)
Truly loving that you and your friends are fellow blockheads! Some truly beautiful dresses too!
Your friend had so many beautiful clothes! 😊 I am sure was hard to let them go.❤
Keep the pink beanie/ that shade is cute on you
I love the pink hat on you! You’re so funny! ❤
23:06 yeah😂 cleaning up etc is addiction loll
Awesome declutter project ladies in this video have a great day
Watching you ladies live your best life (with Samson’s supervision of course) is so empowering! 💗
The pink coat my favorite! Glad you were able to get some $ for your things.
Thanks boo 😘
That NKOTB jacket! 😍
Best ever right!!
Love your assistant ❤
I swore I was the only adult with a Cabbage Patch Kid in my closet. We are all so similar with the declutter. It gives me comfort and motivation to get moving on my closet and also not be so hard on myself. PS I am keeping my CPK.
Gotta keep that!
WOW...you seriously work magic! Will you ever declutter one of your fan's closets?! Cause...SIGN ME UP!!!!
Your friend has a great style!
Seriously!!
She did really good! I clean out my closet pretty regularly and I do sell on Poshmark, my nieces get a lot of stuff also. Now I really don't need to dress up for work becuz I have to wear a uniform which makes me sad because I love to shop!!!!
Oh my gosh! hahahaha! I love your new pink beanie!
I watch the suitcase designer too!
Gurl, you look great in the pink toque!( I’m Canadian)😊
Thanks Laury 😘
wouah congratulations to let go so much ! i am in transition to move the other way round, from France to Latin America ;) and i feel that i have to let go so many things to avoid to take too much or store stuff in my family garage.. so i am in the same process.. and Fall season is perfect for letting go I feel.. as the not more useful leaves.. we let go what serve us for past seasons now.. ;)
Beautifully said. Stepping in to new seasons feeling lighter and freer. Congrats on the big move very exciting!!
So true, we can’t always declutter on our own, esp if you’re an organised person, which I am. This was great inspo to start 2023 on a good note ❤
I love samson xx
Good work Carla and Michelle. I have no doubt that when you get to Paris you will end up decluttering again as you adjust your needs and wants to your new life. Well done, and I hope you feel freer have unburdened yourself from so many things.

Michelle, welcome to France! Love your style!
Tell her I love those coats I’m in LA this weekend I’d buy at least 3 😍
I know!! Gorgeous style!!
I love that you showed us some of the yard sale! This was awesome!💕
Right, that was such a great bonus! And she made good money too, so glad that her nice things quickly found new homes!
Awww, loved this! Lol at the raver stuff! Hope she's enjoying Paris :)
Great job! You have great style
Yard sales are.interesting. Well done on All her money making! & hope your friend is loving.Paris!
Your puppy assistant is the cutest 🤗💞
Wow, great job and great motivation.
This was a great 2 part of decluttering with friends! Especially because I too am super organized but emotionally am attached to many clothing items/things. I learned a lot and honestly, it is helping me build up the courage to do the same 🤍 Thank you both 🤍
you have so many misconceptions about what people do casually wear in Paris, that is both cute and funny
Lol 😂
Nothing like an international move to motivate! The closets look amazing
WOW! Great job!!! Those coats & hats look fabulous on you!!!
I love her style was that a pair of pink clogs I saw in her closet LoL 😂
Yep! 💖
So many beautiful pieces! Ugh, I feel her pain!
Love both of you x 💗🇬🇧💗
love you back!!
I hope you kept the pink hat, it looks so cute on you!
I have it!:)
Amazing…👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
