This video actually convinced me to refrain from buying more clothes. I was gonna buy 2 tshirts just now but I dont want to end up with a giant pile of clothes that I never wear and dont even remember buying. I have enough t-shirts, i dont really need more. I also dont really throw out old clothes, i just use them for when i'm at home. Like if an old sweater is no longer good enough to be worn in public, i'll wear it around the house until it literally falls apart. Same goes for old shirts and t-shirts.
I'd suggest ypu make a list of things you need for spring/summer now whilst you know what you have. That way you can avoid duplicating things and really end up with a more useful closet.
If a dress doesn't fit properly, you can always get it tailored! Tailors can do wonders on our clothes! I have "saved" so many dresses by getting them tailored! You have amazing clothes, especially dresses!
So... you spend seven hours and let go of a massive amount of stuff (great!) - only to start thinking immediately about going back out and shopping some more (crazy)! My advice is to sit down and have a good hard think about how much all that stuff that is going to charity cost you.
i understand you like shopping and clothes :) but wow you have so many jeans i have two pair of jeans a black and blue pair in the fit that suits me most and i wear those two all winter long and just wash them both each week , i personal find that i just dont need that many bottoms and mix up the look with different tops which works well cause generally tops are a lot cheaper then bottoms anyway but i may be alone
sammie lynn wow I admire how you can have 2 pairs, I wish I could. I have - no lie sadly- over 50 jeans- there are coloured jeans, so white, black, khaki, black, ripped, dark blue, light blue. It's so much and totally overwhelming if I'm honest 😱
I also usually have just two pairs of jeans. Now I have three and I feel like a winner. :D But on the other hand, they wear out quite quickly because I use them so much, so I think in the end I buy just as much as those who have more pairs in rotation at the same time.
You wash your jeans every week?? I go months without washing mine. They just dont get dirty as easily when you have more than 2 pairs. They last longer too I have about 7 or 8 pairs of jeans but considering jeans is all i ever wear, it's sensible I think.
Girl, you need to start trying on clothes before you buy them... or at least returning them if they don't fit!! Especially when you're buying from stores like topshop who are not ethical. Also... "things I reach for really often" .... one of the items still has label on it. Is there some denial going on here? :')
This might just inspire me to declutter my own wardrobe! It's been a work in progress for a while now but it would be nice to have everything organised again x
Gok won says you should turn all you hangers around and if you haven't used the item and it's still the wrong way after 6 months/12 months, get rid! I tend to have a summer and winter wardrobe and put them in the vacuum package bags x
I am currently in the process of decluttering and organising my wardrobe, I appreciated your honesty in this video. It made me smile because not every person is born with instinctive tidying and organisational skills.
Kim Miranda but if these items are causing us stress shouldn't we give them to other people who need them? Especially if we have clothes that don't fit
Just a thought for you or others caught in a cycle of decluter buy declutter etc. : try a shopping ban for a few months. I did and I found it a lot easier to resist impulse buying afterwards and a lot less tempting to keep popping into shops to what's new. 🙂
I cannot even tell you how freaking satisfying this video is to watch. I LOVE videos like these and have watched this like everyday for the past three days. I’d really love to see more of these.
Girrrrl, before you go shopping again, do yourself a favour and make a list of stuff you already have so you don't buy the same things again. Also, read The Curated Closet. Quite useful.
Oh my goodness Alix,watching this has made me feel better about my clothes hoarding! I have been putting off my clearout for a while but I think it' now time to tackle the mountains of clothes. Let's do this!!!
Why did you let go of the mango raspberry sweater with the high neck? You mentioned because it was for winter. Could you not put it away for the season? You loved it so much!
The white rail is pretty but how does it work if it's in front of your wardrobe? I'd be throwing it on the bed trying to get into the wardrobe every morning 😂
A little tip for choosing what to keep: Start with your hangers all facing one way and once you wear something flip the hanger the other way and keep it that way, if at the end of the season there's still hangers facing the starting way then that's the stuff you don't wear and should chuck out!
That red dress with a bow is definitely a keeper, and I also vote for keeping the gorgeous Christmas/holiday dress that still has a tag. It's just gorgeous! :)
Marks and spencer do hanger recycling for charity, I would definitely recommend it for all of those! Otherwise that form of plastic isn't commonly recycled in the U.K.
I don't have nearly as much but I definitely am due for a closet clear out. Just some items that I keep holding onto for various reasons but not wearing. I've got a big donation bag going now!
Which charity shop will you be donating your clothes to? I live in Chichester like you and I'd love to have a look if it's a local one, as it looks like you're giving away some great stuff!
*HAIR DESPERATION ALERT* Pleassseee will you do a full tutorial on your hair please?! colour, etc.. i have recently had my hair dyed really blonde, with the intention of it being super cool toned which it was but it tends to lean towards warm after a few washes! have tried the lush and fudge purple shampoos and they just turn my hair all streaky blue! yours looks gorgeous! what do you ask for at the hair dressers to give me an idea?! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. XXXXX
Doing a good wardrobe clear out is the most satisfying feeling - it makes you feel like you've really got your s**t together even when you haven't! Love your style, I would definitely have had trouble being so strict with myself x
One day i got rid of all my gray jumpers,just because i thought they were to many.But i realized that i made a mistake and the next year i started to buy again same jumpers i thought i dont need.So i think that basic jumpers you must keep until next year.
OMG!!!! After all these years I've finally got to see your wardrobe! Thank you! :P I just love this sort of videos!!! :D Maybe you could film a capsule wardrobe? Bag collection? That would be so cool!!! See you!!!
You did amazingly well at clearing stuff out! I've watched so many before and no ones managed to get rid of as much as you have. Well done!! Wish I could do the same x
I have a very small closet so I have to be smart about what I keep and it was packed full and there was so much I never wear and I've gotten rid of 33 items so far. There's still stuff i'd like to get rid of but I can't do it yet.
This is exactly why i decluttered my wardrobe - I have so many of the same thing - such as a waste of money! Good job on your wardrobe, and lovely style x
I started clearing out my wardrobe yesterday but it got too overwhelming so I stopped! This video has made me want to do it properly and give a ton of stuff away!!! Xx
You kind of look like Drew Barrymore; I looked back at your older videos and you resemble Drew Barrymore when you had longer hair but you still look like her here. Great video btw, I love it!
Wow! You did a GREAT job cleaning out your wardrobe! I did mine a few weeks ago and I thought I did really well, but after watching what you've done I feel like I need to go back and make another pass.
Thats a lot of stuff xD my closet is actually really organised, but... i have no room! It is packed full and i have nothing left to declutter... but i also cant add anything new. At all. But on the other hand, everything (included shoes) fits in my 1 closet. 1/3 must be jumpers, 1/3 dresses and pants and 1/3 shirts and catdigans. So many jumpers.
where did you get these hangers. I love the color. We can't buy them here in stores. I see that you are a pink lady. My mom is also a pink girl. But you have a cute style. I need a lot of basics. But I have mostly prints in my closet. What a mess to combine with my other stuff.
I just decluttered my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago and it's so satisfying & definitely helps when picking out outfits for the day 👌🏽😊 If I haven't worn it within 6months to a year it's gotta go😅

Same, I don't really get rid of things until they have holes in them or are really saggy at least haha
I'd suggest ypu make a list of things you need for spring/summer now whilst you know what you have. That way you can avoid duplicating things and really end up with a more useful closet.
Great idea, thanks!

Please film when you declutter your coats and makeup 😊
Definitely will do! Just have to psyche myself up to actually doing it 😂
yes please! loved this video
OMG yes please film a makeup declutter or even skincare decultter !!!
i understand you like shopping and clothes :) but wow you have so many jeans i have two pair of jeans a black and blue pair in the fit that suits me most and i wear those two all winter long and just wash them both each week , i personal find that i just dont need that many bottoms and mix up the look with different tops which works well cause generally tops are a lot cheaper then bottoms anyway but i may be alone
Yes! Same goes for me! Works perfectly well :)
sammie lynn I have quite a lot of jeans too. 🙈 But I bought almost all of them on sale... I guess otherwise I wouldn't own that much.
sammie lynn wow I admire how you can have 2 pairs, I wish I could. I have - no lie sadly- over 50 jeans- there are coloured jeans, so white, black, khaki, black, ripped, dark blue, light blue. It's so much and totally overwhelming if I'm honest 😱

Woo, go for it! It feels so good!
Gok won says you should turn all you hangers around and if you haven't used the item and it's still the wrong way after 6 months/12 months, get rid! I tend to have a summer and winter wardrobe and put them in the vacuum package bags x
I love watching videos of people decluttering! It inspires me to narrow down my wardrobe and just everything in my house.
Me: I'm going to declutter my wardrobe! Then I remember I have almost no clothes to start with.
yasssssss thats so me !
Same xD
I am currently in the process of decluttering and organising my wardrobe, I appreciated your honesty in this video. It made me smile because not every person is born with instinctive tidying and organisational skills.
what makes me so sad to watch these decluttering videos, that we live in such an abundance that we enjoy throwing our possessions out.
Kim Miranda but if these items are causing us stress shouldn't we give them to other people who need them? Especially if we have clothes that don't fit
i would love love love to see an update in a couple of months to see how its going. xx
Just a thought for you or others caught in a cycle of decluter buy declutter etc. : try a shopping ban for a few months. I did and I found it a lot easier to resist impulse buying afterwards and a lot less tempting to keep popping into shops to what's new. 🙂
This is the most successful wardrobe cleaning out I've seen. I'm motivated to do one for mine now.
I cannot even tell you how freaking satisfying this video is to watch. I LOVE videos like these and have watched this like everyday for the past three days. I’d really love to see more of these.
I love these types of videos and I love seeing other people's wardrobes

Oh my goodness Alix,watching this has made me feel better about my clothes hoarding! I have been putting off my clearout for a while but I think it' now time to tackle the mountains of clothes. Let's do this!!!
I definitely need to keep this dress. (dress she wore only once , two years ago. ) 😂
Why did you let go of the mango raspberry sweater with the high neck? You mentioned because it was for winter. Could you not put it away for the season? You loved it so much!
I do love it but its actually a little too high for me and I just didn't wear it this Winter!
I'm saving some old tees to convert into a tee shirt quilt. If it's sentimental, consider if that is something you'd be interested in.
The white rail is pretty but how does it work if it's in front of your wardrobe? I'd be throwing it on the bed trying to get into the wardrobe every morning 😂
David Bowie shirt is a definite keeper for now. Later on, if you don't like/want, you can list on eBay and get some cash. Vintage rock sells well.
A little tip for choosing what to keep: Start with your hangers all facing one way and once you wear something flip the hanger the other way and keep it that way, if at the end of the season there's still hangers facing the starting way then that's the stuff you don't wear and should chuck out!
I'm loving watching everybody do these right now, I am trying to get motivated to spring clean on Sunday!
You have inspired me to clear out my own wardrobe this weekend. Nothing like clearing out the clutter! Love the mint hangers too!
i can't believe you have so many duplicates or similars. 😮
That red dress with a bow is definitely a keeper, and I also vote for keeping the gorgeous Christmas/holiday dress that still has a tag. It's just gorgeous! :)
Marks and spencer do hanger recycling for charity, I would definitely recommend it for all of those! Otherwise that form of plastic isn't commonly recycled in the U.K.
This is just NUTS!! you make me seem like a minimalist!!
That's exactly what I was thinking. I never ever thought of myself as a minimalist but she makes me look like I own nothing.
Videos like these always inspire me to clean out my wardrobe!
I don't have nearly as much but I definitely am due for a closet clear out. Just some items that I keep holding onto for various reasons but not wearing. I've got a big donation bag going now!

Clean outs always inspire me to pass along times I'm not wearing anymore....there is always someone out there who will want to wear it!!!
I loved this video,I think all of the clothes you decided to keep are so pretty xx
Yes those Gucci open back loafers were never a good idea
You could turn your favorite Bowie t-shirt into a cover for a small throw pillow. Sew the front and the back together into a square.
This was so much fun to watch! I recently did this exact thing with my wardrobe and I really enjoyed it! Well done you 💜
I also bought that gingham dress from Topshop and I had the same issue, I wore it once and its just been left in the wardrobe ever since
Good on you for doing this. I understand the need to keep those sentimental items and I think you had a solid clearout.
please do a make-up version!! I found this video so therapeutic xx
I loooooove those rose gold clothes hangers they're gorgeous
really wanting a nice organised closet but being too lazy to try and attempt it: please tell me someone can relate
Aisling O'Hare I relate 3000%
I can definitely relate!
I wouldn't say I was a massive neat freak but the start of this video has given me anxiety! Seriously traumatised by the piles of clothes!
OMFG I WANT THOSE HANGERS!!!!!! I'M SO SERIOUS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
*HAIR DESPERATION ALERT* Pleassseee will you do a full tutorial on your hair please?! colour, etc.. i have recently had my hair dyed really blonde, with the intention of it being super cool toned which it was but it tends to lean towards warm after a few washes! have tried the lush and fudge purple shampoos and they just turn my hair all streaky blue! yours looks gorgeous! what do you ask for at the hair dressers to give me an idea?!

You did so well ! I really like the rail 💗
I have that bowie tshirt too. Cant bear the thought of getting rid so wear it for pottering!
One day i got rid of all my gray jumpers,just because i thought they were to many.But i realized that i made a mistake and the next year i started to buy again same jumpers i thought i dont need.So i think that basic jumpers you must keep until next year.
OMG!!!! After all these years I've finally got to see your wardrobe! Thank you! :P I just love this sort of videos!!! :D Maybe you could film a capsule wardrobe? Bag collection? That would be so cool!!! See you!!!
I am sure you have heard this before, but you look like Drew Barrymore
what a soothing video! I love your voice and editing
Laughing at myself because I watched this while procrastinating cleaning and organizing! Thank you for the inspiration Alix! :)
I recommend you the konmarie method, for me it's the only way you can have clothes knowing what you have
Today I also clear out my closet and declutter. It was so hard, but I did it!
Loving the term Floordrobe! I can relate!
You did amazingly well at clearing stuff out! I've watched so many before and no ones managed to get rid of as much as you have. Well done!! Wish I could do the same x

Your wardrobe is so beautiful!
This is exactly why i decluttered my wardrobe - I have so many of the same thing - such as a waste of money! Good job on your wardrobe, and lovely style x
I definitely know the feeling of having too many similar jumpers but I think I have about 4 of them atm so it's not so bad.
I ACTUALLY have a "sentimental pile" in my wardrobe (old concert tee shirts mostly) 😂
Love this video btw 😘😘
Adele Sin mine had old 5k t-shirts
I started clearing out my wardrobe yesterday but it got too overwhelming so I stopped! This video has made me want to do it properly and give a ton of stuff away!!! Xx
This makes me want to get rid of everything even though I just went through my clothes the other day!
You kind of look like Drew Barrymore; I looked back at your older videos and you resemble Drew Barrymore when you had longer hair but you still look like her here. Great video btw, I love it!
Samantha Xiong That's what I thought too! ö
Where did you get these copper hangers from? They look so clean and classy. Also looking forward for a Make-up declutter video 😍
Please make a declutter video of your makeup and coats!! Love you! Xx
Where did you get the clothes rail?
Argos x
Hello. Can you write a link to the Asos jumpers you said you like so much. They are gorgeus. Tnx
I absolutely loved every single item you showed! You have amazing taste! I wouldn't have been able to give any of that away haha
Alix will you be selling the topshop floral long dress?
Queen of decluttering and organizing. 👐
You can take your sentimental shirts and send them to a company to turn into a small blanket or a handbag with all the designs of your old shirts :)
Where are those cactus pyjamas from? 🌵
ASOS x
lol! your dog is so cute! just sitting there like "I don't wear clothes" XD
Looking forward to watching your make up declutter!
Loved this! So need to do this with mine.
Wow! You did a GREAT job cleaning out your wardrobe! I did mine a few weeks ago and I thought I did really well, but after watching what you've done I feel like I need to go back and make another pass.
I really love your style, and I was like nooo not that pretty dress! Keep it forever. haha. All those lace dresses are so great
Where are your marble lamps from? So cute.
You did a great job and hung in there. You made tough choices so well and stayed positive. One piece of advice for future...one in, one out. 😉
Your hair looks extra nice today xx

I loved this so much :)

They're called 'ASOS Cropped Jumper with Rolled Edge' x
where is your clothing rack/rail from? I love it! Great video!
where did you get that striped pizza shirt!? I love it!!!
First time watching your video! and I really enjoyed it. Have you ever thought about a 6 month shopping - free challange?
I just decluttered my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago and it's so satisfying & definitely helps when picking out outfits for the day 👌🏽😊
If I haven't worn it within 6months to a year it's gotta go😅
Where did you get the heeled black sandals? I'm really looking for some, but they're all really small and tight whereas these seem a bit wider.
Where is your duvet from? x
ohhh you should keep the pleated green skirt... tres chic! X
Interesting to see what ended up on depop after all!
Love your length and color of hair!they make u more slim on face and are beautiful!
Ooh could you tell me please where did you get those gorgeous rosegold hangers?!
