decluttering my FANTASY SELF and the 80% I don't use. (2023)

  • I had the motivation and the momentum so I just went with it and did a huge wardrobe declutter. If you've never heard of your fantasy self, it's basically having clothing items in your wardrobe that you imagine yourself to wear but you don't actually wear them because they don't suit your lifestyle. I love the idea of having a small wardrobe, uniforms, or a capsule wardrobe created with pieces that make me feel my best and all sort of go together and can be mixed and matched.
    The reality is we only wear about 20% of our wardrobe, 80% of the time. Today I took a hard look at my closet and although I was a bit indecisive, I was ruthless with myself and did some MAJOR decluttering. I hope this video was something for you to listen to while you did your own closet decluttering or organization! 💕

    sorry for the minute toward the end with my cat when the sound cut out!! Not sure what happened there!! Also I must apologize for my rambling; I was very undecided in this video and I really took you guys for a ride with my indecisiveness. I hope the video was somehow helpful or that you enjoyed it anyhow!! 💗 I'll try to fix the sound issue with the youtube editor. ❤

      I can relate to the indecisiveness and it's inspiring to see you bulldoze through it.

    I found that what really helps with decluttering is to try on every piece. You may have a fantasy that you look wonderful, but when you put the piece on you will notice the fit is not quite right, it requires undergarments that you don't want to wear, etc. Also, I sometimes model the piece I am contemplating if I can't make up my mind, and my husband gives it a thumbs up or down, with no other comments. Ultimately I decide, but it makes the decision easier. Linda

      Mine too😢 I miss them! But my feet literally couldn’t take it after having my first baby, now after two kids, it’s a wrap. It’s hard because I don’t like most flats out there 😫

    I love how brutally honest and ruthless you were with your clothes. You're obviously in a different season in your life. Going forward you probably won't buy as much so your next declutter will be so much easier. You make me feel braver to declutter nice things I just don't wear.

    I really like your videos. They calm me. Especially your voice, the colors you wear and how you use to touch things. Sounds a little strange probably, hope you don't get this wrong. Anyways, it relaxes me a lot, especially when I am at home after night shifts. Thank you for motivating me to keep my things tidy.

    Congratulations- it helps me understand myself. I am not the only one who bought clothes for the fantasy self. Being realistic is what makes sense…

    I enjoy your videos. I keep a special occasion capsule wardrobe in another closet and am always prepared for an unexpected event without having to panic and run out and buy things I am not really crazy about. I like having it in another closet - so I don’t have to look at the items every day.

    You need to bring those fancier items on vacation with you, and just wear them! Life is short! Wear the nice stuff out to a nice dinner, go to a show, the theatre, opera, concert, comedy show, or new years dance or party...something like that..and wear those fancier items then!

    I've totally been angry with myself at past purchases. Money wasted. It isn't even who I was nor who I'm becoming. What was I thinking 😅... I took the emotional ride with you and am currently feeling ready to aggressively declutter.

    I love listening to your videos! Only just a month ago I started decluttering my home and next weekend I will be having a stand at a flea market to sell my clothes, so this video was perfect motivation during the sorting proces. I'd be lovely if you had a podcast. That makes listening even more easy :)

    Been watching you for 2 years! Love your perfume and declutter videos. :) Your voice is so soothing and I listen to you whenever I'm copywriting, which is almost every day. haha
    I'm due for a major decluttering! I bought so many things for my "fantasy self" like sky-high stilettos that still have tags, never worn, and just collecting dust. :)
    Sending love!

    @sreyphon-thill3297 9 месяцев назад

    Great video! Decluttering has gotten so easy that I’m able to declutter without second guessing myself and that’s an awesome feeling to love and wear your items. Now the thing that really is my pet peeve is shoes on the bed, especially dirty shoes. Maybe that’s just the Asian part in me but seeing your shoes on the bed is like nails to a chalk board for me 😅

  • @mirandafriday4023
    @mirandafriday4023 11 месяцев назад

    Oooo have you tried regular Fireside by BBW? If you like Smokey wintery scents it’s deeeevine so smoky so woody and Wintery/autumnal I have like six backups Lol so much better than Marshmallow fireside imo but it only comes out winter/ Christmas season 🪵🔥🌲😍🥰

  • @youcansoften
    @youcansoften 10 месяцев назад

    I think knowing your season helps a lot when decluttering. Since I know I'm a true autumn and what looks the best for me... I stick to it. ❤ I recommend you @stylebyfrancescacairns. Super good well trained stylist.
    Maybe there is a reason why you pick white over the beige one... Because white is a cold colour, maybe you have a cool undertone and makes you look way better than beige. 😊
