Great start! You are heading in the right direction towards minimalism. It gets easier to let go of more as you go. I have already extremely downsized everything and sometimes I still find myself weeding things out that I don't love and wear anymore.
It was fun to watch your purging process. I downsized my closet over the last 3 years from 167 items (clothes/shoes) to about 90 items. It's not about a specific number for me, but to show how far I have come. I no longer have to rotate out clothes according to seasons. It all hangs on about 3.5 feet of rod space. I had to go through many purges to get where I am. Keep up the hard work and you'll know when you're where you want to be.
In my opinion (and what I have found with my wardrobe) is that all I really need is 6 basic t-shirts, 4 long sleeves, 2 button downs, two jeans, one skirt, one pair of shorts, 1 formal dress, one day dress, 2 jackets and two coats (one for summer one for winter) and I am very happy with what I have and never feel like I need anything more. Even before I cleared out what I thought was a lot of clothes I still had less than you once you had actually completed your declutter!
Good for you! Well done, I've got my mum coming over to mine tomorrow to help me reduce my closet (we don't call it that over here in the UK we just have wardrobes and chest of drawers I guess as our houses/apartments aren't that spacious) but I truly need to declutter my life!!
You should do the hanger trick which is change the way you hangers are then each time you wear it change it so after you see what you wore and what you didn't
You got rid of all of the cute basic things. Try the KonMari method not doing it in the closet but putting all of the clothes on the floor and sorting.
MissKalashnikova I didn't see the answer before. Before KonMari I used to declutter in hangers, but after KonMari I am motivated to declutter more. Exactly the reasons above. On hangers, you are not aware of the amount as you are when all of the clothes are on sight
Best method for a closet is - take it ALL out, put like with like, thoroughly clean closet, wash shelves etc esp. to eliminate moths, select the best i.e. x1 or x2 of each style, give the rest away. Put cloths back in clean closet - tops together, skirts together, dresses together etc and all colour together. You'll never look back or buy the same thing again and again.
I definitely got rid of a lot of "cheap" stuff and a lot of the things I kept were better quality and cost more. I work from home, so on a day to day basis, I'm normally in basic and comfier clothes.
My dry cleaners accepts ALL kinds of hangers. You could ask your local place if they want them. If the hangers are not just the plain wire ones (they looked like the nice velvet ones), I think the Salvation Army or other charity shop can actually sell them. Just avoid Goodwill bc they suck as a charity. They do little or nothing to help people.
Yes! I always try to donate at Salvation Army instead of Goodwill! Although I think I'm going to end up keeping the hangers because they do end up broken a lot :)
There are several components to ways to declutter fast . One plan I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Nilah Declutter Tips (check it out on google) without a doubt the most useful blueprint i've heard of.Check out the interesting information .

Learn about the Kon Marie method. She has a book. She teachers people about minimising and the best one to do it
minimalist cleaning

If you folded the tank tops you'll save so much space!

The olive knit top is so cute you should keep it.
I love your vlogs! You just have a great personality which makes it interesting even if you feel like you are not doing anything exciting.

That's awesome! I always feel SO much better after decluttering
That is a giant task! You go girl 💪🏽
Thanks girl! It literally took a total of about 3 days to totally clean out everything lol

Holy smokes you have/had a lot of clothes though!
Besoaria secondaccount is it bad I am only 13 ND I have the same amount of more than she had lol
Xhoana Swift Age doesn't matter when it comes to an amount of clothing . I mean, as long as you have clothes you are fine
your poor parents XD
I feel like there is a stage were we love it and just grow out of it.
I can't wait to try decluttering
wow! that's a lot of clothes!
i feel like a lot of minimalists put no personality into their wardrobe....but your style is so cute! i'm obsessed with all your crop tops, lol
oh no, i love black and white haha i just mean i feel like a lot of others just wear like the same v-neck everyday just in a different color, lol
LOVE you Courtney!!!!! This video was really helpful!!❤💛💜💚💙
LOVE YOU!! And thanks so much!!

Happy declittering
At Home With Nika But why she couldn't do it this way?

i think your hangers should match since you have a lot of free hangers now!!
Loved the video! I need to go through my closet tonight. Thanks for reminding me. :) I'm working at being a better minimalist too.
Thanks so much Jaime!! Good luck cleaning yours out :)
Courtney Lundquist VLOGS Thanks good luck to you too! :) I'm working on decluttetering my whole apartment too.
Really enjoyed watching this!! Can't wait to see your next video! Btw, where if your shirt from that you were wearing in the beginning of the video?
Thanks so much Holly! Its from Hollister :)
Love this! Record more like this! Hope you get to feeling better!!
So glad you liked it! I'll definitely be doing more :)
You did such a great job. keep at it in all areas of you life. Only when you're feeling better of course, and I hope that's soon.
Thank you! I definitely am and will be vlogging as I go :) It makes me so much happier when everything is organized!
You have so much clothing.😌 Everything I own could fit in your wardrobe 🙈
more decluttering!
You kept all the cheap stuff and got rid of all the classier things
Susan Velez she probably feels uncomfortable in classier things. Its all about yourself you have to do it for you not for what others may see :)
I definitely got rid of a lot of "cheap" stuff and a lot of the things I kept were better quality and cost more. I work from home, so on a day to day basis, I'm normally in basic and comfier clothes.
Susan Velez lol I was thinking that would look nice for a more classic kind of day. But if she isnt going to wear it then it's just taking up room
Great video, super inspirational 👍
Marine family, that's fucking awesome
Rah!!!
Wow, really time to declutter.

Paula Fistarol minimalism is different for everyone
Did you read the description for the video? "this is just my first declutter of many...baby steps!"
Why 69k views and 800 likes??
I'm so sorry you do t feel good, the mom in me would bring you soup if I was near by. No for real....

I wish you could accept more than just paypal, I don't have an account but I want some of your things. Haha:/
Aw I'm sorry!!! It's just the easiest and safest for everyone, plus its free to make an account :) I always use it for all my online purchases lol
Courtney Lundquist VLOGS it's cool, I hope you can get rid of everything! :)
"Minimalism" 😂😂😂😂
Meriah M you know that minimalism is different for everyone & nothing to make fun of?
Meriah M You have to start somewhere, right?
You are far away from minimalism
