LIFE-CHANGING SECRETS TO A DECLUTTERED CLOSET 👗 Cut Your Closet in Half

- How to declutter your closet once and for all, my secrets to cutting your wardrobe in HALF and ALWAYS having something to wear.
I think sometimes with clothing we think the MORE we have the MORE choices we have to wear, and the more choices we have to wear, the more likely we’ll look amazing and fashionable all the time...but usually the opposite is true. Too much clothing is actually overwhelming and makes getting dressed a chore. The goal of this video is to help you purge your closet down to the pieces that you truly love so you never end up with the age-old problem of “tons of clothing and nothing to wear.”
When I became a mom, I learned I just needed an easier, more streamlined closet if I wanted to look good and NOT spend too much time getting there. It took me well over a year to figure this out, but now I have a much more organized, streamlined, and simplified closet. It saves me time, money, and so much hassle (AND LAUNDRY!)
So today I’m going to save you the year of time it took me, and walk you through each one of those steps, how to tackle it, and ultimately how to declutter your closet so that you always have something you want to wear.

Love the "if I saw it in a store would i buy it again" rule. That's really helped me.
Yes, I call it 'shopping in my closet'. If I would buy it today, it stays!
almost always the answer is no
I am so very appreciative that you move through things quickly and assume we are intelligent beings. You get to the point and there is no wasted time in your videos. You are a natural at this!
I was going to say the same thing!! Love that she gets straight to the point.
I have stopped watching several videos because it takes forever to get to the point. I give those a thumbs down and move on.
Omg yes!!!
When I watch her videos i get up and get rid of things.
When I watch other videos about decluttering I think, “good idea” from the couch/bed/floor.
I AGREE!!!!
One of my favourite quotes. “Your clothes are your roommates; except you’re paying their rent”
For those of us who struggle to find things that fit (and look flattering... 🦄 territory) it can be esteem crushing to walk out of store after store empty handed. I found myself buying stuff just to avoid feeling like a shopping failure.
I finally flipped the script in my head that I wasn't the problem, instead shopping as a treasure hunt and I was only content with a perfect piece. My closet is now stocked with just pieces that I love and look great on me.
I love how this was filmed and edited . I appreciate the effort you put into this
Love her videos
I’ll second that! Beautiful work & a handbook!!! It’s time to binge your channel while I organize! Ty TY Ty 💕
brilliant editing for sure!! Love Homer Simpson
But I want to keep for future interviews. I don’t want to spend $80 or 150 too buy jacket, top and bottom to have an job or volunteer interview here or there.
@@maggiel6597 Maybe try Rent The Runway 🌞✌️
The quality of your videos is outstanding. the information you present is so helpful and so easy to consume. I feel like I can actually apply the tips you present in your videos. Kuddos to you for adding actual substance to these "hack" videos we see all over you tube!
Totally agree!!!!
Thank you for motivation I truly need as you teach what may work for us all in different ways.
This is the BEST closet decluttering strategy video I’ve seen on RUclips! Thanks so much. 😊 The flow chart is EPIC!!! 😱 One additional hack if you just can’t seem to find time to declutter your whole closet because it’s currently overflowing with clothes is to just work on it for 15 minutes EVERY DAY (or a different increment of time that’s manageable). I’ve accomplished so much by doing this!
This is very helpful. When I lost my home and was packing up my clothes, I had clothes that I’ve had for 5+ years that still had tags on them. I definitely wasn’t going to wear them so I donated them to my church. They were able to sell them and get good money because it was for the church and charity. I wouldn’t have been able to get the money they did, I didn’t pay that much for most of the clothes. I bought them when a store was closing, they were all a couple dollars. It felt good knowing I was helping my church when I couldn’t give them actual cash, money.
I'm sorry you lost your home. That's happened to me before and it's awful. I hope things are stable again for you.
I started folding my clothes the KonMari way and it takes more thought and care. In turn, some things I realized I did’t want to spend that much time on because I didn’t love the item, so it allowed me to purge easier. You had some really great tips. I’m motivated to go purge more!
I sometimes use the “second closet” idea to help me decide on pieces to keep! If I can’t fully decide what to do with a piece, I’ll store it away and in a month or so if I haven’t thought about the pieces I stored away I’ll get rid of them and if I was looking for a piece I stored away I’ll bring it back into my closet
I did this several months ago and realized the majority of my wardrobe is for work, where I spend the majorityof my day. Thinking about it in practical terms has stopped me from buying new non work clothes because I barely wear what I already own.
years ago when i retired i counted 41 blazers in my closet (collected over 25 yrs).. they are gone.
i once visited a friend that worked a loooot. he had like 20 suits and 5 regular shirts for leisure time. I remember I was shocked, but it made total sense!
You have the best organizing and decluttering videos EVER, while being realistic and down to earth. Love your channel so much! I really like the one in, one out too! Great idea! Thank you!
I like that you have your priorities straight, "But First, Coffee".
Watched the first 6 mins and my closet life changed. Watched so many decluttering videos and you made everything so clear.
Great video!!! The one thing I’d add to the “one in, one out” rule is that we should really be more conscious of the environment and shop consignment stores. They’re great because you can bring in an item to sell to the store while buying another piece, all while reducing impact on the earth!!!
With COVID, I am working from home with no end in sight. I found that I needed to invest in my loungewear category because I was wearing the same 5 shirts and pair of leggings. I packed up my professional attire and will pull it out when it’s time to go back to the office. Having a “second wardrobe” has been life changing!
This is the absolute best and easiest video I’ve ever watched on purging my closet. Every other video or “style” on purging has just made me more overwhelmed. Thank you so much!
My favorite quote from the video was " If I saw this hanging in the store, would I want to buy it?" That one always helps me power through my purging. Excellent advice, Kali! If you get into a purging mood, the minimal mom youtube channel has some amazing motivation and purging tips as well.
I feel like you just put into perspective three years of my life lol. Thank you
I love how approachable your lifestyle is,I’m tired of watching all of those huge dressing rooms being organized in fancy mansions!
Same. Mi closet is a cupboard anyways 😅
Can I add a couple categories?
I guess this could go into "formal", but you need a set of funeral, wedding, church clothes.
And another category I call "bleachy clothes" or clothes I don't mind scrubbing toilets, splashing bleach on, or other icky staining activities
I agree!
This looks is great! And I have to add garden clothes.
Great idea! I have 2 hair coloring shirts!
Yeah, I have a set of bleach clothes. Got to it the hard way. :-)
Yep, I have ‘funeral clothes’ esp when you get older.
I’ve had clothes in my closet that I owned for 3 years and never wore. I’m glad I didn’t get rid of them bc I finally wore them! 😂 I just had to wait until I became a skirt person to wear some of my cute, comfy bodysuits.
I know this isn’t practical for some people but I at least know that I’ll wear them and actually do. However, I’m trying to start wearing those clothes more often by flipping the hangers the opposite way so I’m more inclined to grab those since I know I haven’t worn them since the last time I adjusted my hangers
Ive been on a purging kick the last few months & I went thru my closet & got rid of like 3 big trash bags of clothes & yet when I look in my closet its still mostly “i might need it” clothes. Thank you for breaking it down. It makes much more sense &I feel I will be able to get my closet organized efficiently now. Also just a tip to organizing the dresser drawers is to stack them from back to front instead of bottom to top. That way you see everything in the drawer & dont have to sift thru all the clothes and get them all shuffled &unfolded. 👍🏻 I started doing this years ago & its saved me a lot of headache
I've watched a ridiculous amount of minimalist/closet decluttering content over the past year or so, but if I was to point to THE most all-in-one helpful, approachable video for closet decluttering, I'd point to this one. Brava, my friend!
I think this kind of goes along with decluttering underwear. Im pretty sure we all have those categories of new/everyday, sexy/date night, comfy/lounge, and period panties. Way too many options had my dresser drawer stuffed to the max!
Ugh mine too. I haven't worn thongs in 7yrs why do I have them!?!
Yes I have to work on that too. I want to get some of those spice organizers or something from dollar tree and organize them,same tote bras I have a few in my drawer and some on a 4 sided hook hanger in the closet.
@@bratmari some with TAGS! 💯🤣 Remember when VS had the 5 for $5/$10 sales???! Yes Honey! Imma pray for us. Lol
Underwear are just as important as outer wear. I washed my under wear and about 4 pairs of my newest underwear got some nice holes in them from the dryer in my apartment complex. I am poor so I haven't replaced them yet plus I am dying . I am married to a holy man that doesn't like underwear on me anyway but still the dryer ripped the best and newest pairs lol
@@bratmari I have up on things yeeeeears ago when I was getting constant UTIs😳🤦🏼♀️😂
Ugh. Purging a closet during a pandemic when I never leave my house is hard!
Yes!! As a family of five, once we got our clothes streamlined, my biggest key has been to purge as we do laundry. It keeps things manageable. And at the end of a season, as I'm changing out the clothes, I double check that what is coming into play fits and what is being stored will (most likely) fit the next time we need it. Great tips!!!
“My fantasy life” haha loved it. We all have fantasy lives. 😆
The part about defining your style makes so much sense! Thanks for pointing that out.
This is the best video I’ve seen about decluttering your closet - and I’ve seen A LOT! I like the categorizing portion before you even start!! A must see video for anyone who is looking for some direction.
I love that you talk about the continued purge. I find myself looking into my closet more often and getting rid of more but I wasn't sure if I was overdoing the curated closet thing
Yes 🙌🏻 feeling overwhelmed but ready to commit. I’m loving the “one in one out” rule... and how it affects choices in future purchases. Starting. Now.
And the storing/removing of seasonal clothes to simplify so helpful.
It’s difficult to purge but I’m finding it’s getting easier with practice plus maybe donating will give items new life.
Your humor is great! The “whiteboard” bit made me lol 😆
I love your uploads and have just subscribed. My second wardrobe, I wanted to share, is a suitcase that slides under the spare bed. It works for me and might work for someone else too. Thanks for your help Kallie xx
I discovered you a few days ago and I just feel it has changed my life for the better 🥺. I’m already pretty organized but seeing there are things that I can improve AND you give me lists and flow charts 😭😭 it’s all my OCD dreams come true
The decision process for defining your style and purging were so much better than any other process I have seen. Thank you.
Purging/ minimizing my clothes has been on my To Do list for so long and it just seemed like such a daunting task. Thank you for making this video and simplifying the whole process. I literally have an entire closet of clothes I rarely wear anymore. My main closet is super organized.
This came just in time! I’m decluttering this weekend. I love this method over every other one I’ve seen! Thank you!
I have two wardrobes, I am in palliative care so I have scrub pants,tops, t-shirts and sweater just for that then my “ normal clothes” .
Thank you so much for that tip "would I buy it today" tip for our "fantasy" style. That definitely helps me weed out some clothing I've been holding onto.
I love how practical you are, and I love how well you teach. Thanks for the motivation. I just organized my closet and I still have way too much stuff. I needed this.
I love everything you talked about because this exactly what I did when I purged my entire wardrobe and it’s how I do things now.
Thanks so much Kallie! This is very helpful and I love your closet. These are great things to remember. Even though I haven't bought any clothes in the past five years, I am always decluttering and purging. I enjoy seeing everything folded and organized. My main categories today are 1. Casual Everyday/Comfy/Clean lines 2. Work 2 the Max Items 3. Fancy & Pretty. 😎 And you are right about the second closet, I call it seasonal closet. Because I live in Rhode Island the weather changes every six months, so I switch the seasonal clothes. And for shoes I've gotten really good at cleaning them, polishing them (if it's leather), fixing them (if coming apart). Finally now I have seven Spring/Summer and seven Fall/Winter. Just grab the clothes, shoes, and my purse. And I'm ready to go. 😀
I have so many cute clothes but thanks to 2020 I've basically been living in leggings and hoodies.
Relatable
Just the push I needed! I'm literally in the middle of purging my wardrobe and I was flagging lol. I agree so much with other comments - you're so informative and your videos so so useful and a big reason for that is the way you just talk about the topic and share your content with us (those sheets are insane prep thanks so much!?). With so many vids I feel the person just enjoy watching themselves too much, and therefore hyperexplain things like, I don't know, hangers and what donating is (real). Thanks so much for the push and all the work behind your videos. X
Such concrete and sound advice. The pre-purge assessment is the step I would think most people are missing, yet it makes so much sense!
This video is perfect! I came here to watch a closet cleanout but got so much more. Your tips are so helpful. I am more motivated and confident about my closet cleanout. Feeling a lot less doom.
I’ve watched a lot of closet decluttering videos and this gave me new food for thought. Thanks for such great content and filming. Your fun to watch.
Loved this! Just completed purge 1 and organizing by purpose. That tip makes so much sense!!! Thank you
I absolutely love your videos! You are a very motivating person with beautiful positive vibes. I spent all day yesterday watching your videos literally one after another while cleaning and organizing our home and I got so much accomplished! Thank you for being amazing 💓 You make me want to be a better person!
I have been watching so many of these types of videos and this was one of the most logical with the think of the categories processes. Thank you love the logic!
This is such a brilliant video!! Most helpful decluttering video I've ever seen. I've turned on this video at the end of the day at least 15 times so far, and counting, to remove little by little what no longer serves me. Thank you for making this kind of content based videos. Your presentation is so consise and to the point ... you dont know how much this video has helped me!
Thank you for all the work you did! WOW! Great job
Thank you 🙏🏻 great advice!!! Tons of clothes but nothing to wear was the story of my life, but I am working on it! ♥️💪🏻
This is hands down the best video I have watched for organizing my closet! I have been overwhelmed for a LONG time with all my items and have never been able to let things go. This has helped me SOOOO much with starting the process! Thank you so much!!!
I love how you laid out this video. I plan to re-watch it numerous times and work through those handouts! Thanks for doing the hard work for me
This video is a LIFE SAVER!!! I plan to declutter my wardrobe tomorrow and I've been spending days watching RUclips videos before I get to do it. This is the most unique and USEFUL video ever!!
This is so helpful I can't thank you enough. I can't wait to declutter my wardrobe now!
I agree with those whom said that you put a lot of effort into your videos. I love the breakdown methods you use. I'm looking forward to getting my life back in order. You're amazing.
These are such amazing, practical and pragmatic advice!! that flowchart is sweeetttt!!
Kallie....you are brilliant. Your sense of humor is exceptional. I love how you speak and explain what you are saying. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos. It is not unnoticed, believe me.
You explained this so well! I appreciated the charts and graphs! Thanks for the motivation ❤️
I just recently discovered you, and I'm so glad! This video, for example, is just what I needed! I've gone through my clothes a couple of times and have gotten rid of a lot of them, but still have more to go. This system is perfect! Thank you! 😃
I do most of the steps in decluttering my closet and keeping clothes in sections where they are easy to get. I just cling to those 'just in case' outfits a lot, but those were very helpful techniques! I can't wait to use them!
This may be the best video I've seen on wardrobe purging. I'm going to try out your system this weekend. Thank you so much!
Wow. Thank you! I feel like you explained the "pit" of "just in case" so well! I also appreciate your evaluation of types of clothes. I find I keep a lot of professional and dress up just in case clothes and my percentage of use for them is so miniscule. Thank you for helping me realize that. 🦉 I now can look at all that fall into that category and choose to keep the best one of each.
I love your videos so much. Just found you recently but I am “obsessed” with you channel. Amazing and real advices for real humans ! Thank you so much
Love the video! My trick on my closet organization is keep my storage/hangers limited. I moved to college a few years ago and only took about 20 hangers with me so I only keep about more or less of 20 clothing items on my hangers, (I sometimes hang multiple items on one hangers like my flannels or cardigans, if I need extra hangers for my towels or wet laundry).
I just had those 20 hangers and a 4-tier dresser in a small closet. I had my socks/underwear/bras/tank top all in one drawer, then all my tops in one drawer, bottoms (all pants/skirts/shorts) in one drawer, then seasonal items in the last one (hoodies/winter sweaters/scarves/hats/swimsuit). For the more delicate/don’t want them wrinkled/nicer items, I hang them up on the hanger like my nicer blouses and shirts, flannels and cardigans, and a couple jackets I wear often.
I realized I can live comfortably with very little selection of clothes. It makes laundry so much faster and easier, and cuts down on my stress and time on organizing, and I used to have a ton of clothes! Like I literally kept everything I ever worn and never throw them away, so I had clothes from elementary school I still kept in high school.
I lived away from home and maintain this small selection of clothes for college for like 3 years now and it surprisingly was more than enough for me. I do still have some heavier winter clothes and formal wears but I kept them at home and honestly rarely have the chance and the need to wear them lol. When I occasionally go home I’d take the time to go though any old stuff I have at home and donate them or toss them. I ended up donating like 90% of my old closet at home bc I haven’t worn them and never thought about or missed them while I was away.
I told myself to not buy anymore hangers or baskets type of things to store clothing so I don’t fill up my closet. And even with this small collection of clothings I still have some piece that would sit in my closet and never get worn. I’d donate those pieces after a year or so if I am ready to let it go or if I buy new pieces of clothes that I love. I also organized my closet by color, it makes putting an outfit together easier too!
White, soft pink/red, light yellow, army green, mauve blue, navy, black, taupe are most of the colors I wear and they all can match together in an outfit easily
I enjoyed your video & these tips. So very helpful & insightful without all of the extra information that is common sense. You get to the point & it’s straightforward.
Thanks!
This is THE BEST guide I've ever come across. Thank you!!
This has given me so much to think about. Im ready to tackle my closet. Thank you so much. Great info.
This video came at just the right time. I planned on organizing my family's closets over the holiday break. Thanks for the tips!
I love how you edit videos. You make them very entertaining and sometimes even funny.
Based on your purging rules I can get rid of everything. I havent left the house much in over a year. I stick to pajamas or sweat pants.
I feel like even when I will be back into the world, everything I have will be out of style.
The most helpful closet organization video I’ve seen by far! Thank you!!
Thank you best organizational video to streamline the process I've ever seen. Excited to get my clothing under control .
Thanks for all the tips and inspiration! I have to purge and organize! Starting today!
Omg I’m loving all your videos 👍🏻. Thank you
Definitely feeling motivated, thanks so much!
This is great!! Thanks for going through this clearly and so timely!! I need to do this this week
My Second Wardrobe will be for post covid ie. church dresses, going out, etc.
Just here to say your username made me genuinely laugh out loud 😂
You're advice for decluttering has really inspired me. I'm a work in progress and really appreciate your videos!
This is the most helpful video I have seen on how to reduce and simplify a wardrobe, and I have watched a lot. Thank you, I now feel I can actually do it.
This is the BEST and most helpful closet declutter video I've ever watched! Thank you so much! ❤
Kallie, This is such a great video!! I love the way you asked all those good questions to help us let things go. This has helped me immensely. I also love the way you talked about organizing things by use!
So Glad I found you. You get straight to the point, give awesome tips, & action items. ❤it! So tired of videos full of fluff pointless conversations. 🙌☺️👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I cannot thank you enough for this video! The tips were so on point and practical! The flow chart is going to be printed & we are going to declutter w/ a game plan! The point of categorizing while purging makes so much sense! Thank you thank you thank you! New subscriber!
I really like this mindset. It's helpful to organize by use rather than just type. Also, really love the flowchart for how to purge a closet ❤️
Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! So helpful!
Thank you!
I have tried and failed often to organize my clothes.
Currently I am going through my closet and I needed motivation.
First thing first get motivated with Kalli! ❤
Love this cleaning my closet now and everything you say resonates - Thank you so much!
This was GREAT!I love how you did this video and I really,really want more on clothing! Good ideas and helped alot to purge it ALL!
This is probably the best video I have ever seen about decluttering your closet. I get allot of handy downs and most of them don't really fit for my style but I would hold onto them just because I'd feel guilty. But this will help me so much more in knowing what to toss and what to keep
I appreciate all your ideas!
You are awesome. I loved how you categorized and quantified clothing. Totally makes sense. I have always had more going out clothes than I did. Every morning, I have the same problem - I don't have clothes.
I watched the whole video taking notes without skipping anything I love how you get straight to the point And you give so much information love your channel you deserve to go viral 💕👏🏻😁You’re so talented
Your purging tips and storage by use are so great! thank you!
Great video Kallie and I am totally doing this on the weekend! I'm feeling very motivated coz I suffer from most of those issues in my just- in-case, cluttered-yet-nothing to-wear wardrobe! Much appreciated X
This was so helpful -- I was finally able to part with those "just-in-case" items crammed in my closet. Thank you!
Good job! Luv your ideas! Very thoughtful!
About to do my deep cleaning and de cluttering to my house for the holidays, can’t wait to use these tips!
This is the most helpful clothes-decluttering video I’ve watched. It’s practical, specific and in-depth. Thank you for this excellent video ❤
