I came to realize a few years ago that buying lots of cheap items in our modern culture is what has created so much waste, and all because cheap, 'fast fashion' items (h&m, target, express, etc.) wear out quickly and we appreciate them much less. I've learned with time that it just makes much more sense to have just 2 or 3 high quality purses that will last...it's more eco-friendly, you'll probably end up spending less time and money, plus you're bound to be much happier with how they look.
I moved last October and did a huge declutter just before that. I'm down to one backpack that I use for college and everything basically, one small purse for going out and one bigger purse in case I feel like carrying one instead of a backpack. Feels so good to actually use and love them!
I will! I totally love doing these videos. I wish when I originally filmed I had done before and after shots of the areas I was working on. It would have been really cool to see that progress.
Great effort! Super super impressed!! I was like you and had a whole heap, but as I've been consistently decluttering I've been able to let go a lot more and then more as time went on. It's amazing how much we keep of something for the "what if"! 😎😎😎
Good job! I just did mine and we have a total of 3 diaper bags(2 large 1 small), 1 large suitcase, 1 carry on, 2 athletic duffle bags, 1 backpack for classes, 1 swim bag, 1 purse for me when I go out alone(never happens), and 1 wallet. I really need to get rid of one of my diaper bags but I just can't
I want that coach brown on brown &&pink bag!!!!! love it!!! I wish I had the money to buy nice bags like that one. I would to buy it from you!! great video!!!
Where was the tiny mustard colored cross body from? I love the style and would like to purchase something similar. Thank you, and congrats on your decluttering!
I got it from Claire's but that was over 5 years ago... but if you search must crossbody bag on google, you can probably find something similar that you like! :)
Geeky Chic oh me too and I have subscribed to so many as I really don't want to stay a hoarder (I know I am now as I am emotionally attached to stuff 😒) 💕
Yes, but it seems like you get more purses as gifts than me, so that could explain why you have more of them :) Next Christmas, you could ask a gift voucher for a massage or a spa day!
i have a diaper bag (that always stays in the car) a crossbody bag that i wear everywhere and one large purse for church that i never wear cause i take diaper bag with me. that's about it. i finally replaced my crossbody bag after wearing it for 3 yrs straight. i used to be a purse hoarder. i dont know what i was thinking lol
I'm not sure... everything that I'm getting rid of is packed up right now, but I will try to remember to let you know once we get all settled into our new house! Just FYI, it isn't a real Chanel bag!
Your Mother-in-law is extremely generous! If you would stuff your bags with tissue they would keep their shape. I keep my stuffed and always in the dust bags when not in use.
There's lots of ladies who would love and appreciate a purse a nice donation to a woman's shelter. But of course that's just me who donates all the time. Have fun with all those bags.
That's a good idea! I haven't gotten rid of my purses yet since I was planning on selling them on Poshmark, but I will look into women's shelters near me and see if they accept purses!
Geeky Chic. You won't regret it. You will feel good helping someone else there's lots of people who can't afford a simple coin pouch. You know sell some too that's what I did make some money but it's always good to help someone else that's my opinion.
I love the way you declutter, most people keep stuff even if they don't need it, you don't do that. I love it!
Yessssss true

You are awesome! I would love to get to that place eventually, but for now I love everything that I kept :)
A very good decluttering video. If you stuff your bags and sit them on a shelf without touching each other, they may regain their like-new appearance.
I did stuff my bags to keep their shape, but I didn't know they weren't supposed to touch each other!
I love your decluttering videos! Keep doing them and showing us how your spaces look as they evolve... so FUN!
I will! I totally love doing these videos. I wish when I originally filmed I had done before and after shots of the areas I was working on. It would have been really cool to see that progress.

I've gotten rid of more stuff since I filmed the videos and I'm really excited to keep seeing my collecting shrink!
Bags are the one thing I have a hard time getting rid of but you gave me motivation to go through and get rid of some of mine! Thank you!
I hope you did well with your declutter!
wow great job!! really got me inspired to declutter, too! can't wait for the next videos in this series 😋👍

That's not a bad collection! It sounds like you're doing pretty well with decluttering too!
That was awesome to watch. Congratulations!
What a good job getting rid of things you don't love any more. It is so freeing to do this. You are such a beautiful young lady!
Great job! I need to do this again as well. I have a few that can go.
Good luck!!
hanger probably goes with a suit/dress travel bag.
That was an amazing job. Thumbs up.
Yes
Awesome decluttering !!!!! Great job!!!!

You should show how you reorganize everything once your done the declutter series :)
Sure! I am planning on doing a house tour as well, if you want an overview of everything!
Great!job. I just tuned into your channel. love these kinds of video.
OMG. Can your mother in law adopt me? You know what I get from mine? Cards.
LOL. Me too! My mother in law gives me those mini shampoos and body washes you find in hotel rooms, complete with hotel logos.
Honestly, she would probably adopt anyone who asked lol. She has basically adopted my 6 and 10 year old sisters haha.
Becca Boo nooooooooo 😱
Geeky Chic You should keep the bag your grandma made you.You will be sorry you got rid of it.She made it for you with love.
You are my hero lok, I need to declutter my stuff too, too much of nothing!
It's so easy to just gather so much stuff!
Great job!!!! ☺☺☺
Your MOTHER in LAW sure loves you!!!!❤️
I love her too!! It makes me so sad that so many people don't like their in-laws.
Great job!
Watching in 2017! Need some inspiration. Thank you xx
I hope you found some! Good luck!
Great job girl..😍😍

Oh gosh I so think your brave! I love my handbags and know this is to come as I need to do it but wow not sure I could right now 😂😂😂👜
It's definitely tough! I had to watch a lot of declutter videos to get the motivation to do my declutters!
Geeky Chic oh me too and I have subscribed to so many as I really don't want to stay a hoarder (I know I am now as I am emotionally attached to stuff 😒) 💕
I really enjoy watching these type of videos! Whenever i get rid of stuff i kind of feel happy lol...am i weird ,is this normal?? haha
No it's totally normal! I definitely feel the same way!
I feel so happy 😄😄
great job!!!!
Awesome!
Do you have a Poshmark or Mercari that you have your items posted on?
Yes, I have a Poshmark! I haven't finished putting everything up yet, but there is some! poshmark.com/closet/theamcgeea
You got rid of a lot, that's great! I've got 2 purses and 1 suitcase, so I'm not decluttering anytime soon^^
That's awesome that you're so minimalistic! I am hoping to get there one day, but I'm not there quite yet!
Yes, but it seems like you get more purses as gifts than me, so that could explain why you have more of them :) Next Christmas, you could ask a gift voucher for a massage or a spa day!
Good job girl :)
I like ur reasonable decisions bravo
i have a diaper bag (that always stays in the car) a crossbody bag that i wear everywhere and one large purse for church that i never wear cause i take diaper bag with me. that's about it. i finally replaced my crossbody bag after wearing it for 3 yrs straight. i used to be a purse hoarder. i dont know what i was thinking lol
I'm trying to get there! You're doing awesome!
do you live in the NW.
Kathaline Hansen I do!
great job :)
Do you still have the pink Chanel bag? Would love to purchase from you.
I'm not sure... everything that I'm getting rid of is packed up right now, but I will try to remember to let you know once we get all settled into our new house! Just FYI, it isn't a real Chanel bag!
Geeky Chic Haha I know! Just have always loved that style. Would love it if you'd let me know. :)
Your Mother-in-law is extremely generous! If you would stuff your bags with tissue they would keep their shape. I keep my stuffed and always in the dust bags when not in use.
I have been stuffing them for about the past year now! It's definitely helped them keep their shape.
do you use totes.
Not super often- I use one for the beach but that's about it.
wow can't believe how many bags you have lolol
PJ chug I managed to get rid of a lot though, woohoo!
well done sweetheart you really got rid of a lot
Thanks :) I'm trying really hard to cut down on clutter.
I'll take your TN wallet! :D
I do have a Poshmark where I am starting to list things if you are interested! poshmark.com/closet/theamcgeea
Honey bun, that lipstick doesn't suit you. It pulls out the redness in your face 😕
TBH, I'm so red all the time, that everything pulls the redness out 🤣🤣🤣
You kept to many bags and wallets
I don't think so! :) I just kept what made me happy, so to me, I kept the perfect amount :)
There's lots of ladies who would love and appreciate a purse a nice donation to a woman's shelter. But of course that's just me who donates all the time. Have fun with all those bags.
That's a good idea! I haven't gotten rid of my purses yet since I was planning on selling them on Poshmark, but I will look into women's shelters near me and see if they accept purses!

U have good bags but u have kept them in worst condition.come on store them properly
