Most of it will end up in Africa, because thrift stores can't sell all of it and they sift through it all. 85% will end up in Africa in a land fill, no joke. There are plenty of documentaries on that. Very disturbing and sad. Please give to shelters next time people!
She didn't want to sell them to make someone actually excited to find a clothing item they like for cheap at the thrift store! This was so nice and thoughtful of her. She even donated some expensive jeans! :)
Bailey I think (at least in my area) they only trash the stuff that’s really bad (ripped, stained, etc) that they can’t sell. Like my Goodwills move stuff from one store to another after a while to see if it sells there and then it goes to the outlet where it’s bought by pound. Maybe I just have a lot of goodwills around me so they’re able to do that? But I haven’t heard of a lot of it going to the landfill
@@DesertRockCompany The thrift stores in my part of Canada are pretty good at keeping clothes. Here they get recycled if they remain on the rack for way too long.
mia: getting rid of tons of cute clothes normal ppl: this vid makes me want to clean out my closet wow! me: this vid makes me want to buy more clothes :O
I just got rid of like 4/5 of my clothes and my mom won't let me online shop because she wants to go to actual stores with me so I have about no clothes to wear 😂🤷
Mia: “I think cardigans aren’t really something people wear anymore” Me sitting here kinda ashamed that I just got into cardigans last fall and now they’re my favorite things 😂🤷🏻♀️
styles may change but cardigans are a classic piece and have been forever. like white v-necks or a little black dress, they're always in. Mia (no hate at all) tends to follow trends and is I think only 20-21 and does this as a job, so I wouldn't use RUclipsrs or influencers as a gauge for what to wear. wear what you like!
I truly appreciate Mia actually going through her entire closet(s) (instead of just 12 pieces like some other youtubers), showing the entire process and being so committed to downsizing
What I absolutely love in Mia's videos is that when cleaning her wardrobe, she just does it as we would do it, in pajamas, with trying on things on top of her own pajamas, even though it doesn't look good, we don't Care ! And I love it ! No faking, no prétention, just natural 😁
I love Mia but it’s bothering me that she keeps saying “it’s not a thing/trend anymore” if you like it, keep it !!!! Stop worrying if it’s a trend or not !!!
it may be more than just being a trend or not, as she probably won’t wear what’s not trendy if that’s what she’s into, meaning it’d only take up space in her closet
“In style” clothing isn’t really a thing. Wear whatever you like if you feel good in it. I find that people who only wear “trendy” clothes don’t have much individuality.
at first i was like "seriously, she's gonna try everything on without talking off that leopard top!?!?" then at the end i'm thinkin "damn, how that top be looking so cute with everything else!?!?"
I was watching your like 2014-2015 videos last night I'm SO PROUD to see you go from "I dont have a lot of money for clothes" to "I have 3 closets full of clothes", you really deserve it girl you're such a flower. 💖

Exactly. And people like to say "oh she's into fashion so is normal". Yeah, but like, isn't the trend now to wear vintage and be inovative? I literally rarely see anyone like "oh this is so last season, gross", that's not enviroment friendly at all

It was so helpful to see you discuss the items as you went through them. Hearing your decision making process to keep or toss was also very helpful. Thank you!!
When she threw out the green silky Selena Gomez dress, I felt that. I can get so attached to clothing items so.. hats off to you, Mia. Great job. Could never.
hey, selling is a great option! sometimes charity shops get overwelmed with donations and have to throw some away. selling means you are sure it will go to a home and not a landfill :)
This is true, however when thrift stores choose what to throw out it’s usually older/ more tattered clothes or clothes that were cheaper quality to begin with. Mia’s clothes are mostly high quality expensive pieces (like reformation jeans) and likely wouldn’t be thrown out by the thrift store. Also a huge reason people don’t sell is honestly because of all the work! Imagine Mia having to take photos of and listing 12 bags of clothing?? If she doesn’t need/want the money then from her standpoint it’s a lot of wasted effort.
Not to mention even after listing and photographing all the clothing as it sells there’s constant packaging (which she would also have to invest in) and delivering to be done. Lots of work with that much clothes!
@@gandg.6830 yea but it sucks because if she sold people would buy it and resell it with hiked up prices and that kinda sucks when there's people that can't afford clothing from regular stores.
@@sunflowernamedfern i dont think so, if you check her fixing up videos from the filming home and it looks a lot like the white colored place while i think the darker coloured walls is her parents home.
@@sunflowernamedfern yeah as long as it is not hateful or harmful I don't think it's bad saying these things. It's just something I noticed. But let's wait till Mia tells us herself if she wants to.
Yea I still wear cardigans and maxi skirts! I love those items so I still wear them! Trends come and go but finding your go to classics that never go out of style is so satisfying rather than having to buy a new wardrobe for every trend season.
@@amara560 exactly I go by basics then again depends what it is those shiny horrible material outfits from the 90s and the cargo pants looked awesome on Mandy Moore 😂
maxi skirts are still definitely in. actually, fashion trends are at their most fluid right now. we're seeing a return of so many styles, it's refreshing!
The Spaz That Saved The World it was a series of videos she did a while back of buying denim jackets because she needed a denim jacket. That and a crop jacket. Which is how she ended up with so many. Lol
@@HeidiLinlol yeah but have you been to a thrift store? if you have you know what they're talking about when they mean 90 percent its always the things no one wants(obviously), but the clothing shes donating is cute... I bet everything she donates will be bought :)
@@wutare6643 pls inform me if i'm incorrect, but selling is MUCH better than donating. pls watch what actually happens to donated clothes - they usually end up in landfill. and why does she buy new clothes just to donate them (i'm so confused)???? that is super super bad for the environment
@@mochicat8464 it depends on in which country you live I guess. I live in the netherlands and I saw a documentery on how it is done here. Only the best clothes that are donated are sold here in second hand shops. The worst are being recycled and everything else is being shipped to Africa where buyers buy these clothes in bulk. The people there are less and less satisfied with the quality because due to fast fashion the items simply don't last that long. I was amazed that their favourite brand was Zara. And they also alter some clothes before they sell these. But they don't like that their own clothingindustry has vanished because of this system and the fact that the clothes are made of lesser quality. Probably they will buy these bulks of clothing less and less. I do agree wit wut are that her clothes are problably ging to get sold and won't end up in landfill.
Mia, your heart is so full and pure. More people should be doing what you're doing. I love the content you create and how you give back to your community. xoxo
Funniest bit for me me was when Mia lent back and the orange cushion seat slid back. But crazy how many clothes she had. Damn. Wish I had those organizing skills though.
“Maxi skirts arent in anymore” dude my entire wardrobe is maxi skirts. Its what i wear 90% of the time. Tossing them because theyre not in trend right now is so stupid. If you like something and it makes you feel comfortable and good in your skin, why give that up because some billionaires somewhere decided what should be popular?
I love that you donate everything! I would also recommend donating to children's homes/foster places! They are always in need of clothes for their kids!
Helping Paws & Healing Hearts this is such a great suggestion and I'm so glad you brought it up!!! I work at a children's advocacy center and we're always in need of clothing. Thanks for bringing awareness! Have a happy, healthy and blessed day!
that doesn't make any sense-------- she's getting rid of of the things she *doesn't* want lol that's the point of thrift stores ya know the :ay mighty another mans trash is another man's treasure:
@@wutare6643this comment was referring to if you want to keep the clothes ask yourself this if you say yes keep it if no get rid of it sorry i didn’t make it clear
@@kuulemj7309 i understood what you meant. that is a good question to ask yourself. I am horrible at it though. i dont know why i still kinda want to keep stuff I wouldnt currently buy. Im getting better at it though.
Thanks for inspiring me to clean out my closet! I have so many things I don't need but never throw out because I think maybe one day I'll wear it. I love your mentality of "if I haven't worn it in years, it's gotta go"
She had some of the stuff since she was a young teen. Her hip bones probably got a little wider as she got older. They'll probably continue to do so, so she might keep growing out of pants even if she never gains any weight.
I have tons of crap that doesn’t fit me, and Mia is not a skinny girl 😂 she is a normal sized girl, a skinny girl is underweight aka me and yes everyone has clothing problems and things that don’t fit them.
Xlila• lynxX Guess you don’t know this but it shows what time you put up the comment it is 12:21pm and this was put up 1hour ago... sooooo How does this work?🤗😊
I always get more ruthless as I go along. So I find it's good to go through the clothes that you first sorted again at the end, and have that ruthless mindset
Hi Mia! I’m 20 and I have a one year old daughter. We started watching you when I became a stay at home mom and now we’re both SO in LOVE with you! She even runs to the tv when she hears your intro! So beautiful inside and out.. Really! Love two of your BIGGEST fans!! 💗💗💗
mia: getting rid of tons of cute clothes normal ppl: this vid makes me want to clean out my closet wow! me: this vid makes me want to buy more clothes :O
back in december I went back to my parents house where I had most of my clothes still, and decide to get rid of everything.. I donate about 6 bags and threw away 3 of them. my mum was in tears (but I think it was because looking at the empty closet gave her the realization than I was gone for good). I only kept the very bare essential I need for when I'm there on vacation (I live in London and my family is in Italy). it honestly felt so good.
Im so confused on your living situation because i thought you had a house with your brother? but you still live with your parents but you also have an apartment? So confuuuusssedddddd
Alexis Savala From my understand, I believe she still lives w her parents but also bought a house w her brother - she uses that space for her videos and stuff she received for videos since it tends to be a lot and take a lot of room
Mia: *has a section for bathing suits* Me: *has a SINGLE bathing suit* Me: um what? I want that I literally had to go buy a bathing suit when my friend invited me to go swimming😂
Omg me trying to find a swimsuit in CANADA during November..near impossible. 🤣 I don’t expect all stores to carry swimsuits during that time of year but damn, I checked probably over a dozen city stores before I could find one
Mia: Summer is coming, I think. The world is telling me it’s not coming but... Wyoming: Currently snowing Also, *thank you so much* for not being mean to your body for changing. We all change as we get older, and that’s perfectly okay!
9:38 Mia if you like the way something looks, you don't have to stop wearing it just because it isn't "in"! I still wear maxi skirts all the time, I don't care about whether they are in or not ☺ love you so much tho and you look gorgeous in anything ❤❤❤
Im actually 4 months pregnant right now, and Im experiencing heavy bleeding.. May 8, 2020 i was rushed to the hospital and later on in my ultrasound it came out that my placenta is very low and nearly hit my cervix but its grade 0 the reason of my bleeding.. anyways, i deactivated my fb acct coz theres so many negativity lately in fb that makes me stress.. so I decided to watched youtube instead.. and Mia's Video poped up and i Keep watching it and really helps me to calm and relaxed.. and my baby boy seems like her, he's kicking when hearing mia's voice.. and Thank God my bleeding stops and mia really helped me to relaxed in my complete bed rest... Loveyou mia and mommy maples. loved from Philippines ❤
I really appreciate how much work and effort you put into not only organization but into this video sometimes I don’t appreciate how OCD my mother made me and keeping my closet organized but after watching this video I have a mass appreciation for it because I could never imagine going through what you just went through
You know you have a problem when you see something you like at a thrift store, then realize you had actually donated it many months before~ Yes, this really DID happen to me!!
Patti 1962 I do this too😂😂 I found a skirt I liked at the thrift a couple weeks ago and went to buy it, only to realize it was mine that I had donated a month before because I never wore it😂
Mia is literally the sweetest person ever instead of throwing her things away she knows there are other people who might need it more and she is so selfless and I love her and she doesn't brag about things she is just so sweet 😊 love you Mia
THE FEELS. 😂 Even when the piece of clothing is like 3 sizes too small... I'm like, "WHEN I LOSE WEIGHT I'LL MISS THIS!" *partially knowing I'll never be that tiny again* 🙄😬 😂😂😂
@@catiekatz1797 that's how I was when I outgrew my red and black split Jean's from hot topic. One leg was black the other one was vampire red and I LOVED those so much! But my hips decided to get wider so I couldn't wear them anymore.
Just some advice: have someone do it with you who is in general more minimalistic. They will encourage you to give away more and in the end you will feel better, i promise you!
Some tips: do one category at a time. Or have someone help you and don't touch the clothing yourself at all. Or use the Konmari method and choose what to keep instead of what to get rid of.
@@catiekatz1797 lol I thought that after my second child then realized I haven't lost weight in 5 years 😂. So yeah I say those shirts (boobs bigger) and jeans (ass and thighs huge) are not going to fit again.
I don't think the "I'm donating this bc it's not a thing anymore". I mean, that is exactly why ppl have to do closet clean outs. If you buy clothes bc you like them and not bc they are a "thing", you help both yourself and the world
I would love to see a video where you hire a professional stylist to style clothes you already have/ maybe bring in a few new pieces to complement them. I think that would be fun considering the amount of clothes you have that you may never consider!
But honestly Mia you have one of the most generous hearts I've ever seen. It's actually shocking how much you gave away. I hope you are continuously blessed girl
It also were a lot of clothes over years. Plus it's better to not all donate at once. Because if they have A LOT. they will throw it away. Especially now. Given that everyone is at home cleaninb
Anyone donating their clothes: PLEASE consider donating them to charities that offer "shopping" for foster kids, abused kids, or women's shelters! There's one near me that has foster kids come in and get to actually get trendy clothing or just clean clothing -- if any is offered. These charities need donations, and it's so helpful for people.
you donated so much😭💕 I'm so proud of you. imagine being the people who lives in your area or near your thrift store. they are so lucky. also I'm in love with that jeans at 12:54😍
I really appreciate that she donates the clothes honestly. My friend trashes stuff that is still good and it would drive me nuts! My mom raised us to give stuff away, as when she was young she used to have to go to free boxes. She said she was always so excited finding new clothes!
I come from an girls orphanage, and receiving clothes, and especially great pieces like these, was the biggest joy. Someone will be really happy to have what others had forgotten on their closets. Especially teenage girls, we run to get the pieces first than the others kkk
This is amazing and love your heart for donating . However I'm a fashion student and have a full class about sustainability and thrift shops actually are overloaded and majority of their donations gets sent to landfill anyway . You can still donate but perhaps to a womens shelter or to direct people that need it . Love your stuff girl xx
I would LOVE to see Mia do some character costumes out of things from her wardrobe!! She collects so much neat stuff, and a lot of it has so much potential, I want to see her style stuff like a pirate, hippie, cat burgler, cowboy, etc lol I think it would be cool!
Miaa you should take some to the women’s shelter , they rarely get small clothes . I donate all the time and they say that
I was coming to comment this!!
Definitely what I was thinking!
Never found them where I live others wise I’d have a lot of stuff to donate
Yes exactly!!!
Also, foster care homes have this same issue!
I love how with some items she said “I love this but I feel like someone else would love it more” 🥺🥺🥺
It’s official. I’m moving to Canada so I can find that thrift store.
if you look at this person comment and read it then look at there pfp its hilarious

imagines being mia’s sister, you could steal her clothes and she probably wouldn’t even notice!
Danielle xx i was literally thinking about that😂😂 like “wish i was her sister” lol
Every sister has their closet memorized. Even if they don’t remember having it they will when they see you wearing it! Haha
Tbh, no sister of Mia would have to steal any clothes from her. Since the sister would have an equally impressive wardrobe 😂
Yeah but you'd also have to be very skinny to be able to do that 🤣

@@sunflowernamedfern yeah as long as it is not hateful or harmful I don't think it's bad saying these things. It's just something I noticed. But let's wait till Mia tells us herself if she wants to.
Ooh what about that filming room with the uneven walls she hates so much??
I'm so glad you didn't get rid of that green Princess Polly dress! It was the best thing in that video. It looks soooo pretty on you.
seeing that this video is half an hour made my whole day
Yes same my boredom is temporary gone!
“Turns out I’m the person that wears sweat pants everyday” lol we all wish we were that other person 😭
😂 I wear leggings at home jeans and shorts out.
Mia: “cardigans aren’t really a thing anymore”
Me: *just ordered a cardigan online hours ago*
Me when i see everything she’s donating: planing a trip to go to the thrift store next to where she lives🤣🙉
AnneSo Pro literally LOL I’m like what area in Canada does she live in I need these clothes😩
frr
Sad when you said you wanted to donate things because they aren’t a trend anymore. If you love it, you love it :)
Personal style trumps trend :)
Yea I still wear cardigans and maxi skirts! I love those items so I still wear them! Trends come and go but finding your go to classics that never go out of style is so satisfying rather than having to buy a new wardrobe for every trend season.
@@amara560 exactly I go by basics then again depends what it is those shiny horrible material outfits from the 90s and the cargo pants looked awesome on Mandy Moore 😂
maxi skirts are still definitely in. actually, fashion trends are at their most fluid right now. we're seeing a return of so many styles, it's refreshing!
I literally just bought maxi skirts and dresses😂 I love those
Mia and her moms relationship is literally goals
I like how she folds the clothes she’s gonna donate and then proceeds to throw them over her shoulder and on to the ground
I'm sentimental af, especially about my clothes, so when she got rid of that pink Easter cardigan it hurt my soul 😶
OMG SAME!!
Me too :((
It's really pretty
YES
Same 🥺
Everyone’s focused on her clothes but I was focused on the Nirvana posters on the wall 😂❤️
Me too! I was like whoa, she's got good taste!!
Does anyone remember the “I need a denim jacket” phase 😂
or "tiny coat" omg
What phase? It took me 5 months of looking to find a denim jacket that wanst extremely expensive or had tons of rips in it.
The Spaz That Saved The World it was a series of videos she did a while back of buying denim jackets because she needed a denim jacket. That and a crop jacket. Which is how she ended up with so many. Lol
I am in that stage, just waiting for Aero to open up so I can snatch
Heal yes
I honestly love how she donates all her clothes instead of selling them especially because these clothes probably weren't cheap
selling them is better because 90 percent of the clothes donated end up in the land fill
@@HeidiLinlol yeah but have you been to a thrift store? if you have you know what they're talking about when they mean 90 percent its always the things no one wants(obviously), but the clothing shes donating is cute... I bet everything she donates will be bought :)
@@wutare6643 pls inform me if i'm incorrect, but selling is MUCH better than donating. pls watch what actually happens to donated clothes - they usually end up in landfill. and why does she buy new clothes just to donate them (i'm so confused)???? that is super super bad for the environment
@@mochicat8464 it depends on in which country you live I guess. I live in the netherlands and I saw a documentery on how it is done here. Only the best clothes that are donated are sold here in second hand shops. The worst are being recycled and everything else is being shipped to Africa where buyers buy these clothes in bulk. The people there are less and less satisfied with the quality because due to fast fashion the items simply don't last that long. I was amazed that their favourite brand was Zara. And they also alter some clothes before they sell these. But they don't like that their own clothingindustry has vanished because of this system and the fact that the clothes are made of lesser quality. Probably they will buy these bulks of clothing less and less. I do agree wit wut are that her clothes are problably ging to get sold and won't end up in landfill.
I donate my clothes that are like small doesnt look good i do it ones a year and like its a box full and my family does the same
Mia, your heart is so full and pure. More people should be doing what you're doing. I love the content you create and how you give back to your community. xoxo
Funniest bit for me me was when Mia lent back and the orange cushion seat slid back.
But crazy how many clothes she had. Damn. Wish I had those organizing skills though.
"Don't collect hoodies, they get too big." - Mia Maples 2020
Get too big 🤔 i wish 😂
Oh how I wish my hoodies would get "too big" lol
But I love hoodies; I have like 5 I wear constantly. Though I do have a lot of jackets, like my favorite bombers jacket, my dads jacket.
I purposely bought a huge sweatshirt and now after working out a lot its GIGANTIC XD
“Maxi skirts arent in anymore” dude my entire wardrobe is maxi skirts. Its what i wear 90% of the time. Tossing them because theyre not in trend right now is so stupid. If you like something and it makes you feel comfortable and good in your skin, why give that up because some billionaires somewhere decided what should be popular?
I’ve only just started wearing them. They have so many purposes can go to the beach/park or dress it up and go out for dinner.
True but maybe she likes being trendy when she's not in sweatpants 😂😃
As a teacher long dresses and skirts are my lifeee. My first graders lover to play with my clothes 😂.
I love maxi skirts! To me, they’re the sweatpants of skirts. So easy to just throw on and not have to worry about it!
Liking trends is nothing to bash about, slow down.
Is anyone else wondering where all the sweatpants are!?
Omg haha how did I not think of this?! I'm wondering now lol...
Probably in a dirty pile or getting washed 😂
I love that you donate everything! I would also recommend donating to children's homes/foster places! They are always in need of clothes for their kids!
And then people don't have to pay for the clothes like at Goodwill! Especially since Mia's so small, her clothes would definitely fit a lot of teens!
Helping Paws & Healing Hearts this is such a great suggestion and I'm so glad you brought it up!!! I work at a children's advocacy center and we're always in need of clothing. Thanks for bringing awareness! Have a happy, healthy and blessed day!
Here's a good question to ask yourself when you're getting rid of clothes "if I saw this at a store right now would I buy it?"
that doesn't make any sense-------- she's getting rid of of the things she *doesn't* want lol
that's the point of thrift stores ya know the :ay mighty another mans trash is another man's treasure:
@@wutare6643this comment was referring to if you want to keep the clothes ask yourself this if you say yes keep it if no get rid of it sorry i didn’t make it clear
@@kuulemj7309 i understood what you meant. that is a good question to ask yourself. I am horrible at it though. i dont know why i still kinda want to keep stuff I wouldnt currently buy. Im getting better at it though.
@@ukuleleangela6153 oh oki
Great advice!
I'd love to see an "I try on everything in my closet" video so we can see in more detail everything that you kept!
"I'm getting kinda tired I got everything everywhere I cant even sleep on my bed" same
😂 Friday is laundry day let's say my bed looks like a scene from hoarders.
Thanks for inspiring me to clean out my closet! I have so many things I don't need but never throw out because I think maybe one day I'll wear it. I love your mentality of "if I haven't worn it in years, it's gotta go"
Me realizing skinny girls like Mia even have clothes that are too tight WHY DID I THINK THEY DIDNT
She had some of the stuff since she was a young teen. Her hip bones probably got a little wider as she got older. They'll probably continue to do so, so she might keep growing out of pants even if she never gains any weight.
Same!!!
Same. I always think I'm just not fit enough but it's not true, the item is not big enough.
thundercaya wow.... this actually makes me feel better about myself 😂
I have tons of crap that doesn’t fit me, and Mia is not a skinny girl 😂 she is a normal sized girl, a skinny girl is underweight aka me and yes everyone has clothing problems and things that don’t fit them.
Its literally 2am in the morning and I woke up because of a nightmare but I saw your video and never clicked
quicker in my life!!!!
lol is 6 in the afternoon where I live

How does this work?🤗😊
@@lucypockman1809 timezones
I always get more ruthless as I go along. So I find it's good to go through the clothes that you first sorted again at the end, and have that ruthless mindset
Hi Mia! I’m 20 and I have a one year old daughter. We started watching you when I became a stay at home mom and now we’re both SO in LOVE with you! She even runs to the tv when she hears your intro! So beautiful inside and out.. Really! Love two of your BIGGEST fans!! 💗💗💗
Aww love youuu guys!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg! I’m literally tearing up ! I didn’t know you would actually comment back . Love you more sweets!! Keep doing you!! 💖
Mia's mom: "The closet downstairs"
Mia: "THERE'S A 4TH CLOSET?"

When you have so many clothes you can't keep track of all your closets 😂
back in december I went back to my parents house where I had most of my clothes still, and decide to get rid of everything.. I donate about 6 bags and threw away 3 of them. my mum was in tears (but I think it was because looking at the empty closet gave her the realization than I was gone for good).
I only kept the very bare essential I need for when I'm there on vacation (I live in London and my family is in Italy). it honestly felt so good.
Such cute clothes and she doesn’t wear them. I’m dying 😵! Where is the thrift store she is donating to? I need to be there, lol.
Same! I would never fit in anything tho, but still want it 😂
Im so confused on your living situation because i thought you had a house with your brother? but you still live with your parents but you also have an apartment? So confuuuusssedddddd
Alexis Savala From my understand, I believe she still lives w her parents but also bought a house w her brother - she uses that space for her videos and stuff she received for videos since it tends to be a lot and take a lot of room
Me too, Tate's closet video talked about his apartment. I thought he lived in the same house as Mia films
Right I’m confused as well! Thought she was living with Tate!?
I loved all the renovations of her new place. I hope it continues and she answers these questions!!
Mia: *has a section for bathing suits*
Me: *has a SINGLE bathing suit*
Me: um what? I want that
I literally had to go buy a bathing suit when my friend invited me to go swimming😂
omg same lol, I only bought one because I was going to the beach/seaside with my family
2015 was the last time I went to the beach. 2015 was when I last bought my bikini and it doesn't even fit anymore
I have two. One that I had to buy, and one that I got for like 10usd because H&M were having extra sales in Japan lmao
Omg me trying to find a swimsuit in CANADA during November..near impossible. 🤣 I don’t expect all stores to carry swimsuits during that time of year but damn, I checked probably over a dozen city stores before I could find one

Mia: Summer is coming, I think. The world is telling me it’s not coming but...
Wyoming: Currently snowing
Also, *thank you so much* for not being mean to your body for changing. We all change as we get older, and that’s perfectly okay!
Potassuim_Cation I live in Wyoming too, this made me excited that other people in this unknown state know Mia ☺️☺️
Imagine having less clothes in your whole closet then in her one closet lol
To the person reading this: I hope you don’t let ANYBODY ruin your day. You are beautiful and loved
❤❤❤❤
💕💕
YOU’RE beautiful and loved 💓
9:38 Mia if you like the way something looks, you don't have to stop wearing it just because it isn't "in"! I still wear maxi skirts all the time, I don't care about whether they are in or not ☺ love you so much tho and you look gorgeous in anything ❤❤❤
Im actually 4 months pregnant right now, and Im experiencing heavy bleeding.. May 8, 2020 i was rushed to the hospital and later on in my ultrasound it came out that my placenta is very low and nearly hit my cervix but its grade 0 the reason of my bleeding.. anyways, i deactivated my fb acct coz theres so many negativity lately in fb that makes me stress.. so I decided to watched youtube instead.. and Mia's Video poped up and i Keep watching it and really helps me to calm and relaxed.. and my baby boy seems like her, he's kicking when hearing mia's voice.. and Thank God my bleeding stops and mia really helped me to relaxed in my complete bed rest... Loveyou mia and mommy maples. loved from Philippines ❤
Get well soon! I hope you and your baby are healthy 💓
I love how she is donating instead of selling, but if she had a Depop i would happily buy some of her stuff 😋
Fran Izquierdo that’s what I was gonna say!
Mia: has like 50 swimsuits
Me: doesnt even have 1
I have a bathing suit top, and I dont even know where it came from
I have two one that doesn't fit and the other one is for school
I am too skinny and tall for swimsuits 😭
Welp I can relate
for real lol. i don’t even have one
I really appreciate how much work and effort you put into not only organization but into this video sometimes I don’t appreciate how OCD my mother made me and keeping my closet organized but after watching this video I have a mass appreciation for it because I could never imagine going through what you just went through
You know you have a problem when you see something you like at a thrift store, then realize you had actually donated it many months before~ Yes, this really DID happen to me!!
Patti 1962 I do this too😂😂 I found a skirt I liked at the thrift a couple weeks ago and went to buy it, only to realize it was mine that I had donated a month before because I never wore it😂
Omg same...I have done this also
Mia’s closets even before sorting: full of super cute clothes
My closet: full of t-shirts, hoodies and pajama pants
Mia is literally the sweetest person ever instead of throwing her things away she knows there are other people who might need it more and she is so selfless and I love her and she doesn't brag about things she is just so sweet 😊 love you Mia
Mia: i feel like nobody really wears cardigans
Me: *looks down at my cardigan*
*looks at my closest full of cardigans*
Oh...
😂😂 I’m confused. I just went and bought like 5 cardigans. They are the best.
I always start this process but then get overwhelmed because I’m like oh but maybe I’ll wear it one day and then cry and put it all back lol
THE FEELS. 😂 Even when the piece of clothing is like 3 sizes too small... I'm like, "WHEN I LOSE WEIGHT I'LL MISS THIS!"
*partially knowing I'll never be that tiny again* 🙄😬
😂😂😂
@@catiekatz1797 that's how I was when I outgrew my red and black split Jean's from hot topic. One leg was black the other one was vampire red and I LOVED those so much! But my hips decided to get wider so I couldn't wear them anymore.
Just some advice: have someone do it with you who is in general more minimalistic. They will encourage you to give away more and in the end you will feel better, i promise you!
Some tips: do one category at a time. Or have someone help you and don't touch the clothing yourself at all. Or use the Konmari method and choose what to keep instead of what to get rid of.
@@catiekatz1797 lol I thought that after my second child then realized I haven't lost weight in 5 years 😂. So yeah I say those shirts (boobs bigger) and jeans (ass and thighs huge) are not going to fit again.
I don't think the "I'm donating this bc it's not a thing anymore". I mean, that is exactly why ppl have to do closet clean outs. If you buy clothes bc you like them and not bc they are a "thing", you help both yourself and the world
everyone:
mia: bEHgs
lolol love this. I’d like to shop at the thrift stores all of these clothes go to 😭
She also say lits instead of let's haha
She's Canadian lol
no one Canadian has nothing to do with it? Haha 💕
I would love to see a video where you hire a professional stylist to style clothes you already have/ maybe bring in a few new pieces to complement them. I think that would be fun considering the amount of clothes you have that you may never consider!
Just watched this a second time. Love how happy you are to donate! It's a good feeling.
But honestly Mia you have one of the most generous hearts I've ever seen. It's actually shocking how much you gave away. I hope you are continuously blessed girl
It also were a lot of clothes over years. Plus it's better to not all donate at once. Because if they have A LOT. they will throw it away. Especially now. Given that everyone is at home cleaninb
i was hoping for a "hey everyone so today we're doing a very exhausting video" 🤣 lol
Anyone donating their clothes: PLEASE consider donating them to charities that offer "shopping" for foster kids, abused kids, or women's shelters! There's one near me that has foster kids come in and get to actually get trendy clothing or just clean clothing -- if any is offered. These charities need donations, and it's so helpful for people.
I've never heard of these charities, but I love it! Do you know of any examples of these charities? I'd love to donate
You can tell the 3 people who disliked this video just did it out of pettiness. She put this up 15 minutes ago and this video is 32 minutes long.
I've never understood not wearing things if they aren't a "trend" anymore. If you love it, Mia, you love it! Just wear it!
Its so sweet for your mum to be together in this ...she sounds so understanding and nice...
you donated so much😭💕 I'm so proud of you. imagine being the people who lives in your area or near your thrift store. they are so lucky. also I'm in love with that jeans at 12:54😍
*Her keep pile of dresses is more clothes than my entire closet*
Lily Acacia SAME
Lily Acacia same 😂
Same tho lmaoo
I really appreciate that she donates the clothes honestly. My friend trashes stuff that is still good and it would drive me nuts! My mom raised us to give stuff away, as when she was young she used to have to go to free boxes. She said she was always so excited finding new clothes!
I just feel like jumping through the screen and taking some of the clothes she's getting rid of 😭
I come from an girls orphanage, and receiving clothes, and especially great pieces like these, was the biggest joy.
Someone will be really happy to have what others had forgotten on their closets.
Especially teenage girls, we run to get the pieces first than the others kkk
I dont know if I ever said this, but Mia is such a sweetheart, we need more people like her in the world
This is amazing and love your heart for donating . However I'm a fashion student and have a full class about sustainability and thrift shops actually are overloaded and majority of their donations gets sent to landfill anyway . You can still donate but perhaps to a womens shelter or to direct people that need it . Love your stuff girl xx
am i the only one who wasn't even questioning why mia had so many closets until she made a big deal out of it?
I would LOVE to see Mia do some character costumes out of things from her wardrobe!!
She collects so much neat stuff, and a lot of it has so much potential, I want to see her style stuff like a pirate, hippie, cat burgler, cowboy, etc lol I think it would be cool!
Forever wishing I could fit into Mia’s clothes
