Backward Decluttering: THE FASTEST AND EASIEST WAY TO DECLUTTER YOUR CLOSET
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Decluttering our closets is different than decluttering literally anything else. Very different roadblocks and emotions go into the clothing we wear on our bodies. So I've discovered a method I'm calling "backward closet decluttering" that I think really helps eliminate a lot of these roadblocks to allow you to declutter in 10-15 minutes, and not 2-3 hours. And, hopefully, makes it a lot easier to STAY decluttered, too.

As a note, one “maybe” item that is 100% worth keeping: something appropriate for a funeral. It really sucks to have to scramble to get something when you’re grieving. I got a black wrap dress because it has/will fit me at all my potential sizes (including while pregnant once), and it can be used for other occasions.
Agreed!
Yeah, it's the worst shopping trip ever. I had to do it despite having plenty of black clothes at home because my father died while I was on a trip and I flew directly to my hometown.
@@ifetayodavidson-cade5613I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
Very good point!
Good idea v goodx
I love how your videos are like a research paper/presentation. You introduce a topic and give an opinion or fact, you research and share your findings , then wrap everything together in a conclusion. Very well thought of. I always appreciate the time and effort you put in these videos . Thanks a bunch .
I agree!
Agreed! They’re the best!
Omg! Yes. And so much info in a short time! She’s got it down perfect!
Agreed! I have decluttered my RUclips subscriptions; yours is definitely a keeper!!!
It’s the basic lesson cycle. She’s a pro! 🥰
I LOVE this idea. I didn't have a lot as a kid and now I have a hard time letting go of things.
Same here. Grew up having to make do with what we had. Then now as an adult I tend to keep a lot for just in case. Or I spent $$ for it.
Same here. I was shocked at the junk I was keeping because I just might use it for a dirty job or because whatever reason
Same here, I see something on sale I have to get it 🤦🏽♀️ I honestly need just a few clothing coz the more you have the more laundry 🧺
I can relate
So can I - the Lord will provide and we can let go knowing He will.
I find it helpful to do a closet declutter at the end of a few hectic weeks where you didn't really do much laundry. Things that are still hanging there unworn at the point, that you didn't pick up even under dire circumstances where all your go-to items are dirty---you're never going to wear them. Ever.
Thanks for preventing me from an anxiety attack about my wardrobe! Cheers!
Exactly! 😅
Love this concept! The “just in case” pieces in my closet overwhelm me. This gives me permission to keep them, guilt-free, while still freeing up closet space. I’ve found that clothes I discover later in storage always have me asking, “WHY did I keep this?!” Lol.
00:00 🧥 Start by identifying the items you absolutely love and need in your wardrobe, rather than focusing on what to get rid of.
01:36 👗 Create a capsule wardrobe from your existing favorite pieces, focusing on versatility and classic items that don't go out of style.
03:28 🛍 If you're missing key items, consider shopping intentionally for them rather than buying items on impulse.
04:53 🩳 Evaluate if you have too much of something in a specific category and decide if some items need to go to achieve a more streamlined wardrobe.
06:02 📦 Store the "maybe" items away from your everyday wardrobe to remove the pressure of making immediate decisions about them.
07:26 🔄 Revisit the stored items in four to six months and evaluate if you actually needed them; this helps in making more informed decisions about what to keep or let go.
My Mom passed away. She had some really nice clothes that I can wear. I am having trouble getting rid of them. I have not worn a dress in 10 or more years. I go out twice a week. I don’t work. I wear jeans and t-shirts. I don’t need these clothes. They are just in case. Just putting this down here and reading it may be helping already. I have a whole closet full of her stuff. It’s been two years and I wore 1 of her shirts at Christmas. I know what I need to do.😢💜. I need to donate her stuff so it can be worn and enjoyed by others.-Thank you!!🌸
Perhaps make a small lap blanket ot of material from one or two of her items, or put in a picture frame, etc. Then just donate the rest. Your mom would probably rather they go to a good cause than causing you stress over them. Good luck.
Same. SAHM and I wear my best clothes to grocery shop because why not?
I'm sorry for your loss. Others will be so happy to receive your mom's clothes. They will do a world of good. Your mom is in your heart, not in the clothes. ❤️
I still have a pair of mom's socks. I put them in a plastic bag. I kept the jewelry and those little bitty socks.
❤
This is how I cleaned out my bookshelf when I moved and had to pare down. I picked my favorites, and the reference books I accessed all the time. The rest got boxed up and put in storage. (I divided them up by category and used small storage totes, so I could easily find anything I needed.)
5 years later, I’ve cultivated a library that I truly love, not just shelves full of books for the sake of having books. 📚
Wonderful! Thank you. BRILLIANT!
Fact about me: (Apart from event clothes -black pants and blouses) I wear EVERY one of my 80+ tops, shorts, pants on rotation. I pick pieces from one side of my closest, wear it that day and then put it back in a different side of my closet after it is washed.. Repeat daily until nothing is left on that one side of the closet and the start all over again.... In this process, i find things that don't quite fit right anymore and put those pieces in a donation bag that i keep in my closet.
That's such an interesting way to make sure you wear everything!
Love these suggestions. Another idea (discovered by accident) is to have a teenage girl present while you go through your clothes. It's not fun, though. My niece recently informed me that about a third of my wardrobe is out of style and needs to go. 🙁
Tough love ❤
Depending on age and temperament, I might take the projected opinions with a grain of salt ...
That is so true my teenage daughter is very blunt. And helpful too
I do wish I had a young woman to help me with that. I might not always agree with her but the input would be helpful!
I completely agree! My daughter does this for me (and I trust her judgement) and it's so helpful
Wow, this is incredibly helpful!!! Those "just in case" pieces are such a trap! This new approach realllllly helps, thank you
Great video! The minimal mom has a video on this same method and I’ve found that it indeed is the most effective and easiest way to declutter for me! I definitely needed another way to see that while I “loved” some pieces, I never actually wore them! ❤
I watched that minimal mom video before my last closet declutter and I find it to be a really helpful method. By starting with the stuff you really love, everything else has to measure up!
This is a genius idea. Essentially it bypasses the hardest part of the decluttering experience as you are making easy positive choices right at the outset. Your favourite jeans, that top you love, that dress you just bought etc then the slightly harder decisions don’t get thrown away, a major emotional wrench, they’re just put on the back burner for just in case. And finally, those items that you bypass every time anyway, it’s easier to get rid of them!
That's how I declutter first. Once I have my absolutely love pile, I move on to the useful and nice ones. Everything else goes.But, most important to note, there is a pile that appreciates over time. So, even if I don't wear them now, I know they will age wonderfully and increase in value. I have now clothes I bought over 20 years ago that are gems now. No way to replace in quality or style, and if you do, it would cost a fortune. So, learn to spot these pieces and preserve them really well. You'll thank yourself, me and your kids will also be very grateful later. P.S. if you wear something all the time and you have several of it, then keep a couple to wear and the rest keep for when you wear them out. Only do this with items that are your core style that you know you will just go buy more in the future.
I’ve been familiar with Project 333 for a couple of years, though you have a way of presenting it that makes it so straightforward & accessible while adding your own twist-many thanks!
You're so right on about this. This seems to be the best technique is to pull out what you must have other wise you get stuck and don't get rid of much. I find that if I stick clothes in a bag right away once I've set them aside, then if I don't think of anything in that bag, those items stay there and I give them away. Out of sight, out of mind.
About to downsize from family living to solo living and was overwhelmed. Decided it may make more sense to pick out what I do need/use, then sort the rest. Was hoping someone else had same approach successfully and here you are! Thank you.
Best decluttering video I’ve seen. Way more realistic.
This was excellent information! My bedroom has been a disaster for months trying to Declutter my wardrobe. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you girl!
I call this "Reverse Decluttering" and LOVE this approach!
“Favorite white t-shirt.” 😂 I have two large black dogs. There is no such thing in my life. 😂
My black clothes have white dog hair on them, if it makes you feel better. 😂
@@gloriaalex11 I was gonna say the same. Small white dog. Can't believe he's not bald with the amount of hair that he sheds! :)
My heart smiles when I see golden dazzles on my dark color clothes :)
@@gloriaalex11 😂
I have the opposite. I have a huge white Pyrenees now after 15 years of a big black lab. My black T-shirt’s are no longer wearable and I miss the color black tremendously 😂
Another method I have used ~I turn all my hangers backwards in my closet each season. As I wear an item I turn the hanger the correct way in the closet. By the end of the season any item that has the hanger turned the "wrong way" goes bye-bye.
@Carol Swinconos that’s a good idea! Thx for the tip!!
That's a great idea on paper but the weather is not that predictable. I should be able to be in spring clothes today since it's almost May but where I live It's like the depths of winter at the moment.
@helenarden74 it still works if you only switch out your clothes twice a year.
I’m starting the process of decluttering my wardrobe and my house. This video is a real life changer for me. I feel empowered to do this now. Thank you!!❤
In this video you have made so much sense for me. I have an extremely hard time getting rid of clothes. Even if I haven’t worn it in a year or two. I always go back to the thought that this was expensive. I can’t just get rid of it. I want to but I can’t.
After putting off my wardrobe declutter for many months and after failing at it at previous attempts, this seems like the perfect solution for me. My wardrobe is 70% filled with clothes i wear less of but cant throw away and i cant find clothes to wear easily. Also with this i can organise my wardrobe better and actually maintain it. Thanks a ton ❤
I needed this! I’m planning to declutter my closet next week and was going to just remove the items I no longer want, but that always leaves me with a bunch of maybes that I try to wear because I feel guilty, otherwise. Instead, I’m going to follow your method and pick out the favs, packing away the maybes.
I've done a similar thing and used 1 yr to decide those just in case items. That way I went through all the seasons, holidays and events that "might" have come up and still didn't use the items. I really like the idea of creating a capsule wardrobe by shopping your own clothes. I've had some weight issues so I think that's going to work wonderful for me. Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant! This very method -BACKWARDS decluttering! Is JUST WHAT I NEEDED.
Thank you! THANK YOU❤
I love this idea - I cannot wait to try it! Sounds much easier than the typical approach. Thank you!
The idea of backwards cluttering is purely genius! It cut down half of my time! I went through my closet and anything that wasn’t a favorite automatically went to the floor 😂. Shopping from those clothes to produce a capsule wardrobe is another genius idea! Thank you for this information! You rock!
You nailed it. This is such a better way to declutter clothes! It makes so much sense! Thank you~
This was a great approach to such an overwhelming task-I fluctuate from size 10-14 in a state that has 4 seasons, so I have a LOT of clothes. I have been putting off the Closet Project for months.Occasionally I will donate a couple bags of clothes here and there, but will stop for months before getting the courage to get back in the trenches! NO MORE. This weekend Im going to deal with it once and for all. When finished, I am going to have built ins installed, the closet wallpapered and a new chandelier installed. Thank you for giving me the inspiration to tackle it once and for all :)
How did you know! This week is TOSS OLD CLOTHING week in our house! I know I am going to use your declutter backwards method. We know what we are wearing now, so leave that on the hangers. Time saved already! Helicopter Mom can put up her feet and enjoy another coffee break while the kids and Pop ponder what they truly want to keep or donate. Result: Happy family, neat closets with space for a few spring/summer things that will surely come along. Very timely video, Thanks!
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 usually don't comment on videos. But today while watching your video I was comfy in my blanket, but i had a strange compulsion to declutter my wardrobe immediately(it was 10:30pm). I had a feeling that what you shared will work and help me get past the roadblock i always encounter- what to do about the 'maybes'. For the first time ever i have successfully reduced my wardrobe size and that too in 1/3 amount of time i would usually take. Thank you so much for your practical tips!
This really makes sense! It makes decluttering the wardrobe so much easier.
This is how I've sorted my wardrobe for a couple years now. I do it twice a year, one aimed for summer, one aimed for winter. I keep out only the clothes I'm most comfortable in, and everything else gets tucked away into a bin. I don't pressure myself to get rid of stuff in that moment unless it really hits me. I find it's a lot easier to get rid of clothes when they've been out of sight and mind for several months, and you realize you were never actually going to wear them. If I'm going to add a new piece to my wardrobe, I think first if it's something I'll feel comfortable in, then make sure I choose a color that will pair well with the existing items in my wardrobe. So far this method has worked very well.
The part for me is that I've got so many clothes that were given to me or are unique and makes it hard to let go. But I'm excited to try this method. Great video
Adore you. Thank you for making it so easy for the rest of us!
Thanks for your great videos! I could never do 333; I'd be so bored wearing the same clothes all the time that I'd go on a shopping binge. I like the idea of moving seasonal items out of my closet and am going to do that now! If I have one complaint about older age it's that I'm not able to wear stiletto heels anymore
:( so enjoy them while you are young 🤣.
Same. I like to vary my styles and colours every day so 333 and neutral capsule wardrobes is a total write off for me. As to the stiletto's It's true. Can't remember the last time I wore a pair of heels. I guess I could at least get rid of some of those before I try decluttering my clothes :)
I just found your video...thank you so much! For me, decluttering is like a nightmare!...but...your system gave me hope! ❤
Thank you!!!! This really makes perfect sense to me and you’re brilliant to have come up with this beautiful backwards declutter method. God bless you and your family ❤
I've been wanting to declutter my closet for a few months now. Excited to try this method!
This is such a wonderful and useful strategy, thank you for putting it out there! I get so overwhelmed sometimes going through my closet, but I’ve gotten better at pairing down and being realistic about pieces that I don’t love or won’t wear. I love the idea of building the capsule wardrobe first, almost along the lines of packing for a trip. We always bring our most favorite versatile pieces. Then the remaining two other parts are more tolerable. When see how much we have that we already do love in the capsule wardrobe, it’s easier to let go of the pieces that don’t service us any longer.
Watching this for the 2nd time... this concept helps us really purge our wardrobe!! So appreciative of your simple steps to declutter my closet/ dresser (s)!!
I can’t love this idea enough!!!! Makes it so much easier for sure!! Then I can buy knowing exactly how I am going to use it and what I will pair it with!!!!
I have to try this approach and am very excited about it! have been chipping away at decluttering my wardrobe and entire house for a few years now with many "just in case" items finally getting rotated out. It is so satisfying to let things go especially during seasonal changes. Everyday day life is indeed better on so many counts not being weighed down with so much unused "stuff." Thank you!
I do this! Definitely works for me. Feels so nice to thin out my wardrobe but also have the option of going to the basement to retrieve an item from the bag if needed. 😊
I literally have a box under my bed of clothes that I never unpacked when I moved into my house a year and a half ago and I don't even know what's in it anymore... I know what to do LOL
Pandora's Box. Don't open it! 🤣
@@SoundofSilence492 LOL I was thinking that too... maybe I should just send it straight to the thrift store without opening
😂I just decluttered a BUNCH of clothes as may be moving in several months. Retiring and no longer need all the office clothes I’ve collected over the years. I was really proud of how large my amount to donation !
But,,, NOW I’m going to go through what’s left using this technique because I now see I could easily get rid of MORE 😂. THANK YOU !😊
I've been downsizing my clothes and not buying any new clothes. I can see the progress I am making downsizing. Love your videos 💕💕
Wow a declutter video that was ACTUALLY helpful. THANK you!!!!!
Thank you so much for this! I retired just over a year ago and the thought of decluttering my office wardrobe has overwhelmed me. I truly believe this method will help me mentally to purge the items I no longer need (or at least put them in a box😊).
Looking forward to trying this 😊 my main hang up is tees I just wear round the house, not exactly PJ's but wouldn't really leave the house wearing it 😂 everything has to be complicated apparently 😂
Hey Beautiful
You’re wearing them regularly, therefore you keep them.
I really like this idea--it does cut down on the trauma of trying to Marie Kondo everything, LOL.
I've battled my weight for most of my life, so I have "incentive clothing" (that's never been worn--some going back to the early 80s!), as well as stuff I wore when I was thinner, and then all the way up the size range to where I am now, which no, I'm not saying, haha.
My kids are grown and mostly out of the house, so that allowed me to take over two of their three closets. I keep what I typically wear in my own closet, then in my oldest daughter's I keep all of our cosplay stuff--we go to a lot of comicons, ren faires, etc., as a family, so we have a lot of costume type stuff. In my middle daughter's closet, though... that's where I keep everything that doesn't fit. And her closet was CRAMMED. Plus I had two giant U-Haul wardrobe boxes in her room, as well, which I absolutely hated, because her room is so pretty when it's not overflowing with all my stuff.
Well, we were very fortunate to be gifted new flooring in our home, which is AMAZING, but also meant we literally had to move absolutely everything in the house multiple times, going from room to room as the work was being done, because we couldn't afford to completely move out for two weeks.
That was the impetus I needed to finally truly purge my clothes. I've tried to do it for years, but that emotional attachment is a real thing. I've sworn for actual decades to fit back into those 80s pieces and all the rest. This time around, I decided I'd have to get really tough with myself, so I made myself put my hands on every single piece and ask, "Even if I could fit into this today, would I actually wear it now?" The answer for a lot of it was a genuine, "No."
Goodbye gorgeous (but so, SO dated) 80s prom dress I never wore. Goodbye jeans I wore on the first date I had with my husband. And a whole lot more. I was able to completely get rid of those U-Haul wardrobe boxes and clear space in my middle daughter's closet, as well as my own. Yay! They're still pretty full--I have TONS of fandom and concert t-shirts that I just cannot let go of--not because they're all super awesome, but I always get comments on them when I'm out, and I've had some of the best conversations with total strangers because of them, which I love. So they're staying, except the ones I know I'll never fit back into, which I gave to my middle daughter and she's going to make them into a t-shirt blanket for me. They're out of her closet, but I still get to keep them, just in a different form. Win-win! :)
Excellent idea!!! I’m going to try this. I’m one of those people that constantly purges with the change of seasons but this technique could be a game changer! Thanks!
I wear dresses in the summer. In cooler weather, I wear tops and sweaters with yoga pants (home), jeans (casual) or black pants (work). I have a few dresses, 2 of each of the bottoms and a variety of tops and cardigans. Done. My point is that having a type of uniform that works for you simplifies everything tremendously.
❤
I too have recently settled on nearly identical categories: summer dresses, soft pants at home, jeans for casual outings, more structured black pants for business, plus a small collection of event wear.
I'm moving soon, and trying to go more "seasonless" in fabric weight and colors (maybe a woolie, plum color scarf for winter), and layering more for colder weather. I've even decided on a number of items per category to assure I can get through a laundry cycle. 😉🧮🧺
I like your idea of grabbing your favorites first. Right now, I am working towards losing 60 pounds, so my surgeon can remove my colostomy bag from colon cancer. So, my wardrobe will change A LOT over the next year or so. I also had my septic tank back up into my bathroom where my closet is, so I had to take everything out when they replaced the floor. I have scheduled my calendar for next week to sort clothing from non-clothing, then sort clothing. When I have what I love, then filled in the blanks spaces, it will be beautiful.
What a great way to approach decluttering the closet! This is the project I want to do today, and it has given me an easy and effective way to do it. I love your videos. They are practical and helpful! I hope you have a happy & healthy 2024!
So taking this mindset to my entire house... GAME CHANGER!! 👏 thank you!
This is an excellent idea! I'm definitely using it once I get to decluttering my clothes.
Love it!! Attempting this technique this week! I have WAY too many clothes!!
Great video! I did a big closet declutter a couple years ago so am down to my favorites though I’m guilty of having a large number of favorites. Storing out of season clothes in the guest room closet, and in a cedar chest in the master closet, has made it much more reasonable. That said, I think I need to migrate from the concept of two seasons (warm weather versus cold weather) to four seasons and store away the other three seasons of clothing. I am in Connecticut too. If I had a massive closet I’d keep everything accessible year round, but this method should reduce the crammed hanger situation. I also have a small collection of pants that are one size larger, kept separately, but this reminds me I haven’t needed that since shedding my Covid 15, and hopefully won’t ever need it again. -Jen
Loved this one! Once my taxes are done, this is gonna be a first in my list organizing project. Also made me realize I need a basic white T that isn't a crop top lol
You have helped me by validating everything I already do, most people are too afraid to dive into what needs to be done. 🙏❤️
I’ve been thinking of putting some things away. This video has proved to me that I just need to simplify. Even if it’s just for the short term. ❤
Great video as always. I'm going to try this method as other decluttering attempts on my wardrobe have failed miserably. It's the letting go I find hard and I'm a just in case girl. Sensible and clear advice. Here goes xx
GREAT approach to decluttering clothes (which is the hardest category for me)...non-stressful and very practical! Thanks so much!
Choosing your favorite things that you actually use, rather than picking things to get rid of, is the best gateway to successful decluttering.
Over a million subbies!! Congrats! Just realized it!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loved the video! I always do both actually. Just get rid off what does not work for me anymore but also keep my favorites from the beginning :). Thx for your super videos!
Loved the UCONN T-shirt! Husband and I are alumni from over 40 years ago.
I’ve been slowly paring down my possessions, love this idea & going to try it on my wardrobe this week.
Hey Beautiful
Excellent view! I cannot replace items due to finances once I give them away. With your excellent view, I can always go back to my own clothes and bring out X item that I my need for any given occasion.
The backwards approach is great for just about anything! Instead of going for what you *don't* need, like, or want... first set aside the things you love, use, and need. Then proceed the same way, separating what to toss, donate, or stick in a bin to "wait and see" if you ever go back for it. Success breeds success; and when you start out immediately knowing you get to keep what you love, you've already gained traction in the task which motivates you to complete it. Closets, drawers, cabinets--it all works great the backwards way.
Hey Kallie. This is great. A brilliant way to go at it. Less stressful. Kudos.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have been trying to declutter my huge closet without much success. My genius idea is to lose another fifty pounds and then i can donate everything and get a small thoughtfully chosen wardrobe of pieces that I really love and are classic enough to last for many years. I do like your method of packing up everything that doesn’t immediately make the cut. No pressure. Thank you for the inspiration!
Of all the declutterring videos I’ve watched why hasn’t this topic been brought up yet. I’m going to trial this method with my makeup collection then work my way up. Thanks!
Love this strategy! I’m attacking my closet today! I’ll keep items in a box on my shelf & when I haven’t used them during the next year, out it goes!
You are a God sent! I have been dreading decluttering our closet and just starting today and you got the answer!
this is exactly what I started doing yesterday. I'm a painter and I have a TON of collage fodder that I want to remove from the studio. Decluttering is challenging at best and I fail to meet the challenge regularly which means organizing becomes a Tetris game I will never win...So when I opened a folder rather than comparing two pieces of paper for their relative merit I simply dug through for the pieces I HAD to keep. Very happy with the results. I'm watching this video to reinforce what I learned yesterday. Thanks!!!!!
I thought the 333 project said you might change your 33 pieces quarterly/as the weather changes. You are right this new philosophy is welcome! Thanks for the video!
You are so right. Your ideas work for me! Thank you for a new way to declutter.
I like this. I have decluttered my closet twice now and still have way too much. I'm going to try this system.
Very nice concept. I used this for decluttering the toys-closet and the too-much-teddies. "No nothing goes out of our house. After three months the children could tell me what they still miss from their toys in the box. Usually they don't remember and things were not so important as they thought.
This method is similar to mine, I make believe I got rid of all my clothes and that my closet is a store, so I only "buy" what still fits my body, style and needs.
Love this.
Such great concepts! I became familiar with keeping items that bring me joy from Marie Condo a few years ago. I found that this process served me so much better. I love your idea of corralling the roadblock pieces and keeping them out of sight for a spell to see if they're worth keeping. I'm definitely going to give this a try. Thanks Kallie! 🤩
Love this idea. Thank you for sharing. This is a MUST TRY!
I've downsized my closet a lot. But living in the south, I've a bin for long sleeve tees (about 5) and a sweatshirt. I may not need these items for 2 years, but they're there when I do. I live all your videos on organization
I used to get tunnel vision when I fall in love with some style or item. As a result I have every style outfits and accessories in my closets. It took a lot of conscious effort to not accumulating similar items in different colors.
The perfect capsule explanation and easy to understand! ❤
Love this! I start getting anxious before I really get started, always. 🙃
Thank you. I have been going through my clothes and it has been so overwhelming. Definitely have some pieces i will be parting with that have not been touched in over 2 years.
Great content, I finally donated a dress I wore to my sons wedding over eight years ago! I kept it “just in case” lol
I hear you... and agree-ish. But I do have some just in case pieces that I do like, did cost some real money, and I do expect to wear them again. I am thinking specifically of a few blazers that I used to wear to work. I am not needing to wear them to work right now. But I can definitely foresee wearing them again and will not want to have to repurchase them. They are not stressing me out having them in my closet. They aren't making it harder for me to get dressed in the morning. I keep them towards one end of the closet and I feel perfectly fine having them in there.
But I totally agree about the clothes that don't really fit us or don't look good on us. We may be reluctant to get rid of that, but in many cases it would be safe to do so. Once gone we will likely never think about them again.
That's a great plan...keeping your favorites AND making go- togethers. That would eliminate duplicate colored tops, for example. Thx!
This is a great idea! I have been struggling with how to do this and "bam" here was your video! Thank you!!
Aloha, all of your videos have been and are a great help. I’m narrowing everything in my home (Apt.) down and it really makes a huge difference. I feel so much freer and in charge. It’s definitely a work in progress and it’s getting easier and easier all the time. Thank you for sharing your brilliant knowledge and wisdom with us❤️.
I like this strategy. I'm moving soon and I have way too many clothes. I think this plan will be a great help. ❤
