I am 60 years old and one thing I learned from the up and down weight journey is don't keep anything for "when it fits". Keep it because it's your absolute favorite and you want to wear it again. If not, when you do lose the weight you want to reward yourself with some new stuff. Don't keep anything that makes you feel bad.
This is what Dana K. White says, too.
After taking several passes thru my closet (peeling it like an onion) I now feel great when I get rid of stuff and never look back.
Also, as I have found, after a weight loss, your body might not be shaped the same. It might be the "right" size, but it might not fit correctly. Get some new clothes that fit correctly. It will make your weight loss look so much better.
I’m not sure if you have extra space, but I would take all the clothes that you love and don’t fit and put them up. Once you get to that size, it’ll be like a free shopping spree. In the meantime, it would reduce your closet to what actually fits you in the moment. (I’ve been doing this a long time. It also makes a great donation pile when I realize it’s not my style any more and I’m willing to let it go!)
Hi Shannon. My vote is to donate the top. Keep in mind, most of us wear 20% of our clothing, 80% of the time. How long have you had the clothes you are not currently wearing but are keeping? Set a realistic goal that if you are not in that size by a certain date, you will donate or sell them. Great start decluttering your closet 💪
I strongly recommend moving clothes that do not fit *today* out of the closet and into temporary storage. It's not fun to confront them every day. And as someone said, we normally only wear 20% of our clothes so you can focus on only keeping the clothes you actually like and actually wear so you have less decision fatigue getting dressed
Yes! Or since she has a big enough closet with multiple sides and sections to designate one clear section to those items. That way they’re not itermingled.
That's called body doubling! Dawn at The Minimal Mom loves this concept - when you have someone else (whether actually in the room with you or not) just around while you get tasks done. You did great!! Also, I didn't love that top you were talking about - it does cut you off in the middle. I'm on a weight loss journey too and you deserve to have clothes that make you look and feel good no matter what stage of life you're in!
I use these types of videos for body doubling. Since I am at home alone all day it motivates ma. And having ADHD I need all the motivation I can get.
I didn’t even know that was a thing. I don’t normally do chatty videos, but it made it more enjoyable having someone to talk to even if it was a camera. I learned something new today.
Congratulations on the weight loss!!! Girl don't get discouraged! I love your videos because you show what it's like to be real and busy! Also you show what it's like to clean and declutter when your depressed...and honestly I stay depressed and exhausted a lot!!
I love Dana K White and her method!! It is incredibly helpful, your space will always always end up better than it was before without it being overwhelming. It has made decluttering easy for my kids also 🎉
I don't react much but this time I wanted to 😊 dear Shannon, you are doing so well in your journey! Remember that decluttering is like peeling an onion - one layer at the time. Starting with throwing out everything that makes you feel bad was a wise choice! Please be kind to yourself as you take the time you need - you certainly didn't collect all your clothes in one hour so there is no need to get rid of everything in that amount of time. One hour better is a very kind mantra. Keep up the good work and love from the Netherlands 😘
I just wanted to tell you that one Polish girl living in Spain is watching you.😀 I have seen many channels about decluttering but definitely yours is my favorite. You are such a nice person.
I would definitely let the short top go. You did awesome today! And you’ve inspired me to spend some time going through my clothes as well. Great job on the weight loss! ❤❤
I love your content and Dana K White too! Her methods really work. May I suggest boxing up one size down, 2 sizes down, etc so when you walk in your closet it ALL fits. And when you are next size down it will be like opening up a present of "new" clothing choices. Like a variation of "time will tell" box.
Ooh love that 😘
I think keeping smaller stuff is fine, but I like Cass from clutterbugs recommendations of relocating them to another place That way everything in your closet is an option any day and you can revisit the stuff smaller stuff later. I just did this in my own closet and it is so free to get dressed everyday
I get not buying the fancy hangers but try to have all matching ones in your closet. Take the store ones to the coat closet and use all plastic ones that are the same. Even if you just switch the ones in the closet to all match in each section it will look better when you glance in. Amazing progress!
Great job on the weight loss and closet de-clutter🎉. The top you tried on needs to go to a new person! Best of luck as you continue your journey!!Blessing🙏🏻
I’ve purged my clothes ruthlessly over the last 5 years and with size changes I at one point held on to more that fit me than didn’t. I now go through and “if it’s not a YES! It’s a No”. I like what Dawn at minimal mom says “you deserve to have clothes that fit you now and that you feel good it”. It’s also helped me stop impulse buying things that fit “almost right” if it’s not a YEA I FEEL Amazing it’s a no”. Good luck and keep going!
Love the mindset of if it’s not a yes, it’s a no!!!
Agree...if it's not a yes then its a no. Sorry I just reread my comment and it sounded so harsh. What my intention was to say that the color washed you out and you have other colors in your wardrobe which suit you better ❤️
Yes, minimal mom’s way of looking at it has made such a difference for me. You deserve to have clothes that fit you now and that you feel great in.
Agree. You want clothes, especially new arrivals, to be a resounding YES!!! Everything I don't feel that way about goes right back to Amazon or the store, pronto.
Sending you lots of encouragement to keep up all the good work…I love the minimal mom’s mantra “if it’s not a definite YES, then it’s a no.”
I'm on a weight loss journey, too! Way to go, Shannon! 🤩 Personally, I would donate the top. It's cute, but you deserve cute and flattering. I have greatly reduced my wardrobe, so everything I have in my closet is perfect for me for now. I figure along the way down in weight, I'll just buy a few items to keep me clothed before the next size. I am a jeans and t-shirt gal all the way. You can wear the shirts a little big, so they last several sizes down. When I get down to a size I think I'll stay at, I will treat myself to cute and flattering clothes. I don't need clothes making me feel bad or mocking me. Plus, I LOVE the simplicity of just opening the closet and grabbing anything I want to wear that day knowing they all fit and I like them all. I do have a pair of jeans that are too big now and I really want to get rid of them. So, I'll be heading to the store soon to get a pair that fits well. Right now they are my emergency backup pair, but honestly, they just make me feel like I put a circus tent on! Ha!! Ok, following my own advice....they are out of here! BTW, I LOVE when your videos pop up in my subscriptions!! 😘
Tank top is a no for me. Doesn’t seem to fit your aesthetic from What I have seen. Full disclosure I am not a puffy sleeve fan and the tank trap part reminds me of that. So I may be biased
I gained 55lbs (25kgs) went through my clothes and put away the items that I would absolutely wear if I was that size again. Two years later and a weight loss of 20kgs (from major illness after major surgery) and I opened up the vacuum packed bag of clothes and it was so much fun - like shopping from a store where I loved everything and everything fit. Albeit a bit tighter than they used to. But can second all of the comments that say if you can’t fit it now but you love it to put it away so you aren’t looking at it every day
I like the way you organize by type. Great idea! One of the best tips I’ve learned is to take your donations or tub of give-aways out of the house asap before rethinking. I didn’t do that last week and I changed my mind and put some things back the next day. Oh, and the top you were asking about, if you don’t know what to wear with it it is probably an item that you can let go. I think you have made great progress over a small amount of time. Such an inspiration!
I agree with the organize by type thing (and if you *want* to, you can then organize by color within the type ;) -- i did that for a while but it's no longer a priority for me), because that can really help you see how much you have of that type of thing.
At the moment I actually always put back the new things (in their respective category (divided by cardboard rings on the rod) at the right end. That way I know (without the awkardness of turned around hangers) which things I'm reaching for more often + if things stay at the left end for along time, well maybe they're ready to go :) )
But way to go! Thanks for the video!
Donate the top. You don't love it. Let it go to someone who will love it and keep an eye out for a shirt YOU LOVE.
I am always so excited to see when you have a video up! One hour better really is what it's all about!
Hi Shannon, I had to comment before I finished watching. Please don’t feel bad because you want to keep stuff. Remember decluttering is a journey. You’ve got this!!! You’ve made progress already!!!
A whole bag full of clothes was a good purge ❤
I just love your videos. As someone with a chronic illness and depression (ugh, and all the weight battles), I do feel like I'm hanging out with a friend who gets me. We've adopted the "one hour better" mindset and it's made a huge difference. I don't get upset with myself if I can't do an entire room..I just focus on making it better.
My 2 cents about the summery tank top. You remind me so much of myself. I've bought cute tops.. but don't know how to style them, so I just keep reaching for the old faithfuls..you are so pretty and I didn't get all the warm feels from you in that top. There are soooo many cute tops out there, I'd let that one go and find one that makes you feel as beautiful as you are.❤️
I vote donate the shirt!! As Dawn the minimal mom says if it’s not a solid yes then it’s a no. It sounds counter productive but when it’s time for a closet declutter I try to buy myself 1 or 2 new items that I love. Having a few new pieces that make you feel good can really show you how bad you feel about some of your current clothes.
Congratulations! So proud of you! 😊
I felt your pain with the LuLaRoe. I literally had 3 garbage bags full of shirts and leggings that I donated recently. I can't believe all the money I wasted. But it's easier to accept without looking at them everyday feeling the guilt.
Lol I watched Dana K White too! She’s in Texas and it would be awesome for her to collaborate with you. I just went through blouses/tops, dresses and pants and got rid of 6 garbage bags of stuff. It really helped having my friend there when I did it. Keep up the good work.
I think Dana K. White lives somewhere in a small town near the DFW area. The blue top is a no in my opinion. It’s cute but just not the right shape for you.
I’ve never known anyone else who says “shoot the breeze”. My grandparents used that saying all the time. ☺️ That made my day. You’re awesome, carry on.
I'm just a girl sitting here in the UK, wondering why you've never popped up on my home page before! 😅 Love your personality and vlog....and as requested, subscribed.
I would get rid of that top you tried on for us. I don’t think it works for you. 😘 You did a good job on that decluttering - hey, better is great!
Ditch the top. Its too short. You have plenty of other things to wear. Life is too short for unflattering clothes. Xx
When I do this , I throw out the old faded, beyond repair and undonatable first. That makes it easier on me , its not too many decisions at one time. You did a great job today. Do the shoes next. 😆 🤣 blessings
Oh dear! Congratulations for your weight loss! I know, we shouldn't talk about that, because we are alright, any size we weight, but it feels so good when it happens! I'm not saying you look better, 'cause you look great, no matter what! Thanks for your videos. I love them! They always encourage me to move and do things around my house.
I just found you & I absolutely I’ve your video. The top is cute but it makes you look box & you didn’t seem to love how you felt in it.
No, it is not long enough for your shape, and the colour is washed out, and doesn't do anything for you, sorry true but brutal. 💐
I don't care for the summer shirt..But I adore your video s and love how you are honest and REAL. GREAT JOB W/WEIGHT LOSS!
U are not a failure, u are the cutest gal in America with a lot of clothes… 😊enjoy 😊
Great video! The blue sleeveless top that you question about keeping should be donated 💓 You absolutely crack me up with your facial expressions! I always am so excited when you put a new video out!❤
Awesome Job!
I vote to donate that blue and white top, I actually think it makes you look bigger then you actually are and doesn’t suit.
Congratulations on the weight loss, your doing great, love your videos ! ❤
The top would look cute with white pants or capris!
I would say if you can’t fit into them now but want to keep them put them in a box to save for later so that you aren’t constantly seeing them in your closet. My biggest self body shaming comes from seeing the clothes in my closet that I can’t wear right now but I hope to later
Don't be so hard on yourself. You did great getting a whole bag out! I organize my shirts by sleeve length. I may be weird but it works for me. It allows me to see at a quick glance what I need more of and don't.
You are just so beautiful. Thank you for your genuine presence, I really appreciate you. Thank you for sharing.
Love all the bright colors! You have a happy closet,
Love getting the notifcation that you have posted! One of my fav youtubers!xxx
🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for this sweet comment.
Congrats on the weight loss! That is so encouraging. So proud of you!
Oh Shannon. I am so proud of you. I knew that we were close to the same size..thank you for your inspiration. I started at 321 and am down to 283....I need to do the same thing in my closet. .
I didn't like that top but watching you wear it I changed my mind. Looks nice. I toss clothes when they are full of holes or torn. I hate shopping for clothes. I very much buy for my fantasy self.
just at the beginning of this video.... and i am rooting for you!!!!!
Good job with the weight loss! I love Dana K White’s books!
Yea for you and your weight loss. Cute top, but my vote is donate. I don’t like when tops hit me at that place on the tummy either. Thank you for sharing your journey!
I just love you so much! I wish I could reach through the screen and give you a big hug! Congratulations on your weight loss!!! I vote donate the top. 😘
Hi Shannon!! Love the video! I have a suggestion... Why don't you take the stuff out that doesn't fit right now and put them in a bin? Oh, and congrats on the weight loss!!!!!
I am really liking this tip. Not sure why I didn't think of that! Thank you!
You did so well today.
I vote you donate the top because you said that it’s not flattering on you. You have lots of other clothes that you fit into, that you’ll probably won’t even reach for it.
Dana is BRILLIANT. Her no mess declutter method works so well. My hubby uses it for the garage and his bedside table.
I found her container concept to be the 💡 moment for me though. Truly, it changed my mind set and in turn, my home. Embrace her container concept and your own clutter threshold if you’re truly ready to reset your wardrobe, home and life tbh.
You are amazing and I so look forward to your videos.❤
You posted! One hour better is better. Yay for weight loss. I kept only my very favourites in the smaller sizes. Just so I don't accidentally end up naked. The rest I let go.
I put 2 sizes at a time in a container and removed them from my closet. Only when I get close to a size change do the relevant container come out for a try on session. So clothes in the cupboard fit.
And have a container to put too bigs in immediately when you realize.
Subscribed! It kinda surprised me that I wasn’t already I thought I was.
Yay! Thank you! ❤️
🤗 Hey, Shannon. The main thing is for you to feel comfy in those tops, etc. We're all different and have different tastes/styles. I usually try on the clothes I'm unsure of what to do with, in front of a tall mirror. Hope that helps you.
Love declutters!
Hey Babe!! Love ya love your videos!!
I vote no on the tank top and only because it doesn’t make you feel like a queen. You could tell you weren’t feeling it. I agree I think it’s because of where the hem cuts off in the tummy area that is the problem.
I wanted to make one suggestion: Buy velvet hangers they will give you so much space (not to fill back up with more clothes!!😀 but to give your clothes more breathing room and make it easier to find what you are looking for. They don’t let your clothes slip off and are great for everything from dresses, shirts, tanks and pants.
I agree about the top! You make it look good, but you can tell it's not a piece that makes you happy!!
Love your videos, glad I found you
I had allowed a small mess to accumulate in my closet so I quickly dealt with it while listening to your audio. Thank you!
I love that we got to do it together
Great job on the weight loss! I just did a similar declutter. I’ve gained some weight but my closet was stuffed. I tried on a bunch of pants. Pulled a few that fit, some that need some alteration to fit and others that don’t fit but I’m not letting go just yet. I collected a pile of half my closet that didn’t fit. 😢 But I’m going to get back on track then I will do this again. I found things I didn’t even know I had that are perfect for this weather. 😂 I like the top. It’s cute. But if you’re uncomfortable in it, you’re not going to wear it. Try it with some white or black jeans, shorts or capris. If you still don’t like how you feel, donate it. It’s toxic clutter. 😊❤
The shirt could be a great top for pajamas.
Wow-great job so far in losing weight and downsizing your closet. Things you love but can’t wear currently could go into a “time will tell” box (per Dawn the MMom)…if you find them motivating rather than guilt inducing. Love your faith-based shirts😇 and your chitchat. Prefer yapping to music🤣
Get rid of the top, you don't feel great in it and don't know what to wear it with. Let go of the guilt that it was a failed purchase, you have plenty more you do enjoy wearing.
I think if you declutter and organise just one section at a time, you'll feel less overwhelmed. So just t-shirts, just dresses, just socks, etc....
One bag of clothes is an achievement, so don't be hard on yourself! Do get the trash and donations out ASAP so that they are not adding to the silent to do list for long.
Also have a donation bin/bag in the closet. If you try something on and it didn't work for you, put it straight in the bag, then you won't be handling it again.
Remember it took years to accumulate all the "stuff" it's a journey to cut it back. Good luck!
If it doesn't feel like you. it is not you. You deserve to feel beautiful in the clothes your wear! Maybe you can find a personal stylist to help you with finding what kind of cut in clothes suits you the Best!!!! And when you know the cut that is the Best for you, you will find you have a closet full of clothes that makes you shine the most.. Reguardless of If it is a t-shirt or a suit dress. God bless you!
Love seeing you. You are doing great.
Link for the faith based tshirts please! Also the blue with white stars shirt, can you tell me where it's from? Thanks!
Oh dear I totally forgot to post that. www.loveinfaith.life
Congrats on your weight loss. I vote that you donate the top. You have cuter clothes.
I sort my clothes by purpose - work/casual, then by type, then color. When I see how many of a very similar thing I have, it is easier to let something go and to remember to not buy the same thing again.
Hey Shannon, I just wanted to say I love your videos. It does feel like I’m hanging out with a friend. Also imo the dark t shirt you had on at the start looks really good on you. Dark colours look good on you. ❤️
I think if the cute top was a dress it would be much better. Maybe you can find one instead. I have the same problem with tops that are too short and cut me off at the widest part😱
Hi Shannon, I think you are beautiful regardless of your size. You have a beautiful face and gorgeous eyes! You have a fantastic sense of humor! You have a loving husband and children who are doing well and thriving. That’s all you need. Not trying to be creepy, just an observant old grandma! 😂❤
About the top you were questioning- you said it best when you said it’s not you. If you feel that way you should donate it a get you one that does feel like you. You deserve that!!
New subscriber today btw.
I'm soooo glad I finally watched this one. I love chatty videos and hearing all the thoughts. Keep up the good work!
You did well. Think an onion--layers; decluttering usually takes several sessions to complete.
Girl LuLaRoe was a problem. Lol. I was even a consultant at one point. I easily had 60 pairs of leggings alone. I purged it all when we moved cross country.
I play a game called how long can I go without doing laundry. When I'm wanting to do laundry means the things left in closet are not things I want to wear, so why do I have them...
Cute top but donate. Makes you look a little boxy Maybe if it was a little longer. Have a great day and stay safe 🙏.❤
I love your t-shirts! It would keep me singing the songs all day! I also sort my clothes by type instead of color.
I love what Dawn from The Minimal Mom says, “ if it’s not an immediate yes then it’s a no.” You deserve to have clothes that fit and make you feel good about yourself. You are doing such a great job!!
Donate Shannon, you're gorgeous and the top doesn't make you shine the way you should.
My vote is donate the top. Isn’t trendy, to me it looks like a pillow case with no shape 🫠 there are better options out there for sure ☺️
To donate 👍I’m a plus size too and i don’t know why but the tops are always to short to cover the belly .
My suggestion is always starting with what's on the floor. Even if you just put it in a basket, it will immediately make the space feel less cluttered and the project less overwhelming. Also a good rule for the kids to keep, nothing should ever be left on the floor.
I think the blue shirt would look cute with some jean shorts 🤷♀️
Please don’t call yourself a failure, you are a child of God and he doesn’t make mistakes.
My vote for the top-- let that one go because it would be so much more flattering if it went in a bit, and maybe look for another that has similarly cute ruffles and color. You're so young and pretty, you deserve clothes that flatter you!
Well done. It takes time to hone down to a well-curated wardrobe. We wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. Storing 80% for occasional use maybe unproductive but most of us do it - and keep at paring down over time. You are amazing and inspiring, by the way. Best wishes. ❤
I like to organize my closet by color. I think it helps with finding something you're looking for. I put all items of the same color together (dress, blouses, pants, etc.).
Keep doing what you are doing great weight loss! Donate the shirt!
I love Dana. She is in Texas. You two would be great together. One of my faves. I listen to a lot of her podcasts. She is great. Always motivating. I like her dailies to that she does like the things she does every day I believe they are dishes, sweep the kitchen floor, do something in the bathroom ( like general tidy), and a five minute pick up. She has a podcast that she talks about. I think that's my favorite episode.
Podcast 244 A slob comes clean podcast. Dana K White.
I'm going to look that up, I didn't realize she had a podcast too.
@@LeafLikeOnATree it's great. And I like using a wireless head set and throw my phone in a fanny pack so I can be hands free while going about my tasks. It helps so much! That is one of my go to podcasts.
The blue summer top I would wear with blue jean cut off shorts. I can't see it looking good with anything else, it is just too short. It's cute. Just too short. So my vote is... if it's super comfortable, keep it. If it's not, donate.
My vote is to donate the top. I like to wear things that fall a bit lower on me because they are more flattering given my shape. You are making a good start!
Oh gosh I need to go through my closet so bad. Thanks for the motivation!
Hi, new subscriber here. Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my first language. But I have to tell you…….Girl, I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH ! You make me think of my sister a lot. You have the same energy and vibes. Today, I was so frustrated by my son’s room, I decided to clean it up a little with the one hour better method. I was sooo overwhelmed by all the things I had to do. But I really feel better now even if it’s not completely done even after two hours of hard work. But, it is way better. You are an inspiration for people like me. Keep the good work and your humour. We’re all on this together 😊From: A Québec fan ❤
I don't know why, but this brought me happy tears. It is really hard to let go of that perfectionism that tells us we have to have it all done in one go. I still struggle with it. I was even afraid of posting this because I didn't think it was a "satisfying enough" difference for my viewers. And here ya'll are being such an encouragement to me.
@@LeafLikeOnATree you’ve got this. Just one step at a time. It’s better to crawl an inch than not to move at all. And even then not moving can be a good thing too. For me, the best advice I found in those videos was to do what you can and be proud of yourself. It takes 21 days to change something into an habit my therapist said to me. So I started low by picking up something everytime I got up. For example, taking my dirty cup of tea back in the dishwasher when I got up for the phone. Or taking the empty toilet paper roll in the recycle bin after I went to p**…..lol. For me, those are little wins. So, you are enough darling. You are what real life is….struggling with mental issues. I know what it is. I have an anxiety disorder. 😉Stay strong and go on….🫶🏻💪🏻
So love your videos 💞💞💞A bag for donation is great! And congrats on the weight loss! I have had issues with my weight my entire adult life, so every pound lost is a victory! I am here cheering you on! 💞💞💞
Congrats on the weight loss, keep going 👏 💪 👍 🙌 you got this!
Congratulations on the weight loss! You have a lot of nice clothes.
The Tank is a no. I have one simple that I love but isn't flattering... and that's ok... Just DONATE it. ❤️
