I had my second baby two weeks ago and let me tell you, it's so wise to be ruthless when clearing out your closet pre-baby. Once I became a mom, all I wanted to wear was super simple, comfortable clothes that were effortless to style and I ended up basically replacing my whole wardrobe. It's impossible to really predict what you are going to feel/look like after becoming a mom but you generally can't go wrong with high waisted, comfortable, easy to launder, and natural fabrics for those first few months or years. Especially if breastfeeding or doing a lot of baby wearing. I haven't even touched some of the more fun pieces I had from college, partially because I don't want to ruin them and partially because my bust never shrunk back to pre-baby size! So excited for you, Allison!
Allison, your videos truly provide a sense of peace and wholesomeness for me. I’ve been finding myself wanting to spend less and less time on my phone & social media overall and really focus on choosing positive and peaceful content. You definitely deliver that for me every single video, thank you so much and I hope you continue to find joy and fulfillment in doing so for this community 💛
Love the colors in your closet! Makes me want to incorporate more color into my wardrobe! You are absolutely glowing! Praying for a healthy baby and momma for the rest of this pregnancy and delivery!
Always a joy to see you on RUclips! THANK YOU for investing so much time & effort and creating such meaningful content! Sweet hearts like you make this earth a better place for sure! Your vlogs are so genuine and pure! Whenever I watch your videos it always feels like home 🫶🤍
Don't forget to keep pieces you might want to give to your daughter or son. I kept things for my daughters, and I'm so glad I did because it was a special gift to see them enjoy them. Especially since my oldest has been gone, I cherish her clothes now and wear them all the time. I also got a hope chest, my mom's recommendation when I was pregnant to keep special baby things they wore or keepsakes to show them and have for their children. I only have one daughter now who may not have children, but I cherish those material things even if it's ego based. I would rather have my daughter, but I'm grateful I have so many things of hers to hold. ❤
Declutterring always feels so good! But even better when you’re pregnant & know there are things you can’t currently wear. I pray for you that post pregnancy your foot size doesn’t change ❤ mine went up a whole half size! Apparently that can happen lol… I never knew. Mama needed to do some serious shoe shopping after my shoe declutter.
Just did a big closet clean out this weekend! I’m hosting a clothing swap with all my friends for Earth day so we can give all our unused clothes a second life 🌎💚👗
wow if this isn't a sign from the universe to start the closets clean out i've been thinking about idk what is lol thank you so much dear allison, always coming up with the best content 🥹🩷
Allison you spoke my thoughts aloud for the past few years when you laughingly questioned why you as a Florida girl had so many puffer jackets. 😂 As an ex-Florida girl it always made me laugh, but I know the struggle of the temperature volatility! Loved this video - wonderful to see your spark coming back after what I know has been a challenging period. 💓
Hi, you look absolutely breathtaking! I hope you're having a wonderful day, and congrats on your little blessing baby ❤️ I normally don't comment but I'd like to thank you and truly appreciate your videos. You have helped me mentally get through difficult toxic work environment days. Your positive and peaceful mindset has shifted my mind. I'm in a new era in my life with new beginnings Struggling. I was wondering if you could make a mini-series of videos with tips on how to look put together from picking the outfits to easy hairstyles, jewelry and makeup...etc
What are your top favorite places to shop for clothes? I just had a baby and I’m trying to revamp my style. Your style is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Heyyyy🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻…. Thanks for the motivation cause I definitely been avoiding my closet! 😬😅😂… God bless you throughout your pregnancy also, I look forward to that day for myself .❤🥹🌻🌻🌻🫶🏽
Yes! In FL the A/C is pumping out the frigid air, especially if my husband has something to do with it! a lol. So I will have a sweater handy for sure.
Also remember that your body changes after having a baby so things you thought might fit do not anymore. My plan is if I have not wore it within 6 months I feel I am not going to wear it later. Plus things change and so do our bodies. I use to keep things thinking I would get back into it or the style will come back guess what not… I just try to pick a few new items each year for staple pieces.
So true, I had to buy a whole new wardrobe after I had my first baby. I even still fit a lot of my clothes but felt very uncomfortable in them. I wore a lot of denim short shorts and crop tops and once I became a mum and put on my old clothes I felt like mutton dressed as lamb 😂 (I was only 23). It’s a whole new relationship with your baby PP that’s for sure
Ok this is so relatable tho bc as someone who used to live in Florida and has family there, it’s so hard to get rid of clothes (I mean in general it’s hard because like you said you might regret it later) because you never know what you’re gonna need when you travel. Florida weather is pretty standard, rain, sun, heat, chilly sometimes, etc. but when you travel to other places and need warm clothes, sometimes they don’t even fit anymore or you don’t know what you’ll need. My grandma still lives in florida and I took her to Germany for the Christmas markets and went through her closet with her and I had to buy her some warm gloves and wool socks and she didn’t know what would still fit her lol it’s a struggle! I live in Washington now and we have all the seasons so it’s easier to maintain a “well rounded” wardrobe because you wear all the clothes every year
I've never been pregnant, so I'm not sure if this would be part of nesting. Either way, it's very motivating and satisfying. 🩷 A "nest with me" video would be so cute! ☺️
Your videos and you are such a delight! I am inspired now to do more spring cleaning! I love your yellow 2 piece loungewear 😊, looks so comfy. Congrats on the 🩵baby news 💫
This is so motivating! I love purging things and was able to quickly gather a bag of things to donate. ALSO I just got married this year on 2/2/24 and had no idea ya’ll did too! What a coincidence 😍
Hi Allison Wonderful video today, so motivating! You are a ray of sunshine. Love you and and your videos so much! You look beautiful and so happy. Wishing you all the best in your last few months of pregnancy. 💖 🙏🕊️ God bless you and your beautiful family 💕🤗🦋
I can recommend Madisun Gray or Margaret Matheny for decluttering inspo. They’re also Christian vloggers who I adore for their feminine-oriented content. ☺️
Hello sweet little mama watching you do your closet organizing everything look wonderful in the closet. I want you to be careful though as a mama and a grandma and a grandma. I just standing on things that are stable. lol Be blessed hugs for you and baby❤❤
I feel like I just went down memory lane during this clean out with you.❤️🫶🏾 So many items I remember you wearing in your early RUclips days and when you were in college!
You should sell the clothes you give away! Your subscribers would love it and it’s more sustainable because you know it’s going to a loving home, whereas 9/10 donated items are thrown away! 💕
I love watching your videos they are so calming and motivating ❤ YT was not notifying me the uploads 😢 I searched and realized I have a few to catch up lol
Great video. Im getting ready to clean out my closet this weekend! Not sure if you have mentioned where you shop but love your clothes. Do you have a Poshmark?
Such gorgeous wardrobe items. Loved this video and felt motivated watching it. Although, much like you, I get to the end of my own decluttering and the math doesn't math with how much i got rid of and how much was still left 🙈😂
So like with the vacuum bags, your supposed to take the hose on a vacuum to suck the air out and it completely flattens it. I’m not sure if you knew that but thought I’d throw that out there. lol
I love shopping new clothes (very few) and I gained weight so I don't like to keep things that don't fit me anymore and not so many 😅 That closet is huge compared with mine, only a closet(a piece of furniture, not a mini room 😂) for all 4 seasons. But I'm not that fancy and stylish like you 🥰
I'm 4 months pp and I still haven't worn anything but sweats, leggings, and dresses! My body is holding onto a little bit of extra weight while I breastfeed, and jeans just aren't comfortable anyways.
Hi Allison, first of all congratulations, you will be the best mom ever !! , Allison, looking at your new video, I see that you are giving away some of your clothes, are you selling your puffer jackets on Poshmark ? please let me know, I will be interested in buying probably one or two :), thank you again for your videos, always an inspiration to me 😍
Your local woman's shelter would love all those beautiful clothes! Make sure you are wiping the bottom of your shoes before you put them away...the bacteria on the bottom is astounding!
You're baby will be the luckiest to have you as a mum❤❤❤❤
🥹 best compliment. Thank you so much 💛

Don’t we all wish we could get those pieces Allison is giving away? Ha! Beautiful video as always! You are truly the SUNSHINE in so many ways.
omg yesss! was hoping she might sell them on her ig story
Yes but they wouldn't fit me...I'm 5"9 😅

So true about blasting the air conditioning in Florida! always nice to keep cardigans and even puffers 😊
Thank you for showing us your closet. Every woman understands this part of life. Cleaning is a task and life gets messy! Thank you!
Allison you have inspired me to clean out my closet. I didn’t know you worked at Disney, I bet you were a princess. I love how you are glowing❤

You have the prettiest most esthetic declutter ever!!☺️💝🌸🌺
As a minimalist this made me anxious haha but I adore your clothes and style! ❤

Alison I LOVE that you repurposed the beautiful free people totes for your headband!! Genius! Your style is so enchanting 😍
You look so BEAUTIFUL Allison, pregnancy has you glowing.....and baby will be here before you know it!!👶🏻
I love the color in your wardrobe

aahh still so excited that you're pregnant!! baby is going to be so loved, Psalm 139:13-16💕🌼 gorgeous vlog as always!
your color palette and amount of patterned items is so amazing!!
and brandon’s step stool is so well crafted
You did a wonderful job spring cleaning Allison, your baby is going to love your home❤
It never ceases to amaze me how many clothes others have. I have 1/4 of the amount of this much clothing. . . BEFORE de-cluttering 😅
What are your top favorite places to shop for clothes? I just had a baby and I’m trying to revamp my style. Your style is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
If you look in her description she almost always links her outfits! A lot of Free People I think!
@@Thecozycottagestead oh wow. Thank you. I didn’t even think to look there. Silly me.
From RUclips, you’re one of my favs in some many ways, but a main one is your style.
Heyyyy🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻…. Thanks for the motivation cause I definitely been avoiding my closet! 😬😅😂… God bless you throughout your pregnancy also, I look forward to that day for myself .❤🥹🌻🌻🌻🫶🏽
I think your closet feels full bc you have the sweaters and long sleeves right in the front maybe try switching the short sleeves to the front!
Yes! In FL the A/C is pumping out the frigid air, especially if my husband has something to do with it! a lol. So I will have a sweater handy for sure.

I will confess, whenever I have to do this kind of task, I play your videos to get in the mood🤭🤭. Bless day Allison!💕
Thank you so much for this inspiration. I have been putting off cleaning out my closet for so long. Vacuum seal bags have been ordered thanks to you!!

That sweater is the cutest!! 💗
Can’t wait to see a nursery room video, if you have one. ❤ my baby coslept with us for a while but we still had a cute nursery room 😂
I've never been pregnant, so I'm not sure if this would be part of nesting. Either way, it's very motivating and satisfying. 🩷
A "nest with me" video would be so cute! ☺️
Your videos and you are such a delight! I am inspired now to do more spring cleaning! I love your yellow 2 piece loungewear 😊, looks so comfy. Congrats on the 🩵baby news 💫
My style changed completely after having two children. Dressing for a new body is hard at first but you get there eventually ❤
🧡🌼🧡🌼
Brandon is so talented!
Your baby will be so creative,😊he has no choice with such parents🌷🌷🌷💗
I love your style Allison ❤ 🧿
This is so motivating! I love purging things and was able to quickly gather a bag of things to donate. ALSO I just got married this year on 2/2/24 and had no idea ya’ll did too! What a coincidence 😍
This video inspired me to organize my closet! Can you please tell us where the clothes rack in your room is from? I need it! ❤️
You look radiant as always Allison ❤ Definitely need to do this too 😉
Very inspiring! I have been in declutter mode so this video was great timing🥰
You and Brandon are going to be amazing parents! Luckiest baby in the world! ❤

I love the idea with jar and esential oils, I do this now! ❤
I love seeing your bump! ❤
Ok im obsessed! You are my new favorite channel! I love your clothes! Where do you get all your sweaters? Seriously we must be friends! ❤
I can recommend Madisun Gray or Margaret Matheny for decluttering inspo. They’re also Christian vloggers who I adore for their feminine-oriented content. ☺️
Hello sweet little mama watching you do your closet organizing everything look wonderful in the closet. I want you to be careful though as a mama and a grandma and a grandma. I just standing on things that are stable. lol
Be blessed hugs for you and baby❤❤
I need to do this so bad! Maybe this will give me some motivation. 😂
I hope so! I know I had to wait a while for my motivation to strike 🤭
I’ve been needing to do this! I have clothes from 10 years ago I need to get rid of.
This has inspired me to clean out my closet ❤❤❤
Ally you sounded like the guy who announces the dog breeds at the dog show on Thanksgiving when saying the blazer colors 🤣 love you
Great job Allison I've been doing the same thing to my closet by the way your hair looks so cute when you had it up with the headband
You look so adorable pregnant Allison. I can’t wait till you set up the nursery and reveal the gender!!!! 💗
I feel like I just went down memory lane during this clean out with you.❤️🫶🏾 So many items I remember you wearing in your early RUclips days and when you were in college!
Love your video. Wonderful, as always. Do you mind sending the link for your sweater? Thank you!!
Love your headscarf! Where did you get it from?🌸
Hello from Germany :) i really like the cardigan you wear in the beginning of the video. From which brand is it?
You should sell the clothes you give away! Your subscribers would love it and it’s more sustainable because you know it’s going to a loving home, whereas 9/10 donated items are thrown away! 💕
I love watching your videos they are so calming and motivating ❤
YT was not notifying me the uploads 😢 I searched and realized I have a few to catch up lol
Love the teal cardigan you are wearing! Where is it from?
Great video. Im getting ready to clean out my closet this weekend! Not sure if you have mentioned where you shop but love your clothes. Do you have a Poshmark?
Big love from the UK ! Where is the embroidered sweatshirt with the tomatoes, flowers and herbs from it’s so gorgeous ! ❤️
Thanks for the great motivation
I love your videos you are such a beautiful soul❤
I love your clothes! I wish I lived close by to stop by the consignment store you donated them too. 😂
If this isn't a sign for me to start cleaning out my room a bit more for space, then I don’t know what is 😉
Allison why didnt you vaccum the vacum bags?
Hi Allison where can I get the head scarfs that you wear they always look super cute on you.
Such gorgeous wardrobe items. Loved this video and felt motivated watching it. Although, much like you, I get to the end of my own decluttering and the math doesn't math with how much i got rid of and how much was still left 🙈😂
Allison needs a Poshmark!!!!
Where did you get your sweater you have on from? It's lovely!
And you will have so much more stuff for your little baby 😁 wonder which closet will be fuller :D
Wow lots of donations! Way to go❤
So like with the vacuum bags, your supposed to take the hose on a vacuum to suck the air out and it completely flattens it. I’m not sure if you knew that but thought I’d throw that out there. lol
22:18 Not too shabby is an UNDERSTATEMENT.
I did this and regret giving away one dress went w skirt
Allison you were blazing back then lol❤❤❤thanks for. Sharing 😊
I love shopping new clothes (very few) and I gained weight so I don't like to keep things that don't fit me anymore and not so many 😅 That closet is huge compared with mine, only a closet(a piece of furniture, not a mini room 😂) for all 4 seasons. But I'm not that fancy and stylish like you 🥰
To me your closet just screams TJ Max! I shop there for lots of clothes and some things you have look like what I’d have from there.
Missing the olive tree in the corner 🥺
I'm 4 months pp and I still haven't worn anything but sweats, leggings, and dresses! My body is holding onto a little bit of extra weight while I breastfeed, and jeans just aren't comfortable anyways.
Hi Allison, first of all congratulations, you will be the best mom ever !! , Allison, looking at your new video, I see that you are giving away some of your clothes, are you selling your puffer jackets on Poshmark ? please let me know, I will be interested in buying probably one or two :), thank you again for your videos, always an inspiration to me 😍
Definitely have to move too small clothes out of closet every 3 months when pregnant and then back in postpartum!
It’s called nesting🤣
Your local woman's shelter would love all those beautiful clothes! Make sure you are wiping the bottom of your shoes before you put them away...the bacteria on the bottom is astounding!
Perfect video! I will be doing the same.
🩵🩵🩵😊
