    Thank you for hanging out with us today as my mom declutters her wardrobe. We enjoy laughing and having fun as we do things so I added some of the bloopers at the end so hopefully you can laugh with us.

    so nice to see the two of you giggling away 😊 kathy has become such a role model of making and explaining decluttering decisions. and what i also like is that it becomes evident that decluttering actually isn't done in one pass but needs more and frequent ones.

    You are so right about not saving stuff for "special" occasions....after several health problems that could have ended differently I have learned that each day is a gift/special....wear the clothes, use the nice dishes, etc...enjoy life to the fullest...💖

    I’m 61 and have never worn a scarf. My age might make me a senior, but I feel and dress way younger. I have a home daycare and pretty much live in t shirts and shorts in the summer and sweatshirts and leggings in the winter. No fancy clothes for me.

    Wonderful video, as usual! I am an older woman (70 yo) and have worn scarves for many years. I live where the seasons can be extreme. I have found that silk chiffon scarves work better for the hotter months. Chiffon breathes more and I don’t get overheated. Scarves add that bit of color and or can change the style of an outfit (e.g., casual to dressy). They are a great addition to a minimalist wardrobe and when traveling with fewer clothes. I find most of my scarves can be used with many of my basic pieces. It isn,t necessary to buy one scarf for one particular outfit. There are great videos on RUclips showing different ways to fold scarves. I love scarves!😊💕

  • @gailtester8749
    @gailtester8749 10 месяцев назад +16

    Fun! Kathy, I'm smiling over the scarves. Im about your age and my fantasy self wants to wear scarves, but my real self does not. I do live in the Utah mountains though, and wear knit muffler-type scarves in winter for warmth. It's the summer scarves I never wear and I have a drawer full. Each year I get rid of a few (like you). Culling them down slowly.

    So satisfying ! I took photos of my favorite heels after putting them in a circle & standing over them for the photo op. Made a wonderful artsy pic. Boxed them up for a specific charity that helps women with job interviews. No more heels for me, but I sure did enjoy the decades of searching for size 5 pumps 😉

  • @judyellen4412
    @judyellen4412 10 месяцев назад +32

    Great video with the two of you.
    I think a lot of us have stuff squirrelled away like your mom.
    It is so good that your Mom has been going through her house getting rid of all the unused stuff.
    I feel it is such a loving act for a person’s family. My parents did not do that and it taught me I never want to leave my kids with a houseful of stuff they will never want.

    Just last week j decluttered the "just in case" bras. I think I finally realized if I want to go back to that style I will need to find the right fit. our bodies change so it is good to revisit the entire wardrobe on occasion. Enjoyed your video!

    Cathy I feel you with the scarves!
    I’m 63 and a lot of my contemporaries wear them and look great. I just get a hot neck 😂 even with thin silk ones. But I buy silk scarves from a charity shop, try them once, remember they make me too hot 😂 and cut them up to use in embroidery projects. I reckon at about £2 each that’s a bargain!

  • @WiseWomanLola
    @WiseWomanLola 10 месяцев назад +4

    I just got rid of most of my belts and a belt hang. I have tons of scarves wh8ch are lovely, but though I live in chilly Wisconsin, they just feel too bulky on me.
    As for your mom's colors, I think she looks best in dark or vibrant colors.

  • @catherinelain1370

    Love you and your mom! Clothes that don’t fit and you save “bully you” - Cas from Clutterbug said that expression and it is so true! That’s when I got rid of all clothes that just do not fit. I am your mom’s age and I too have a bin of scarves - 😂. Love the bloopers!! You two are so funny and cute together!❤. Your videos make my day - great way to start my day with a smile!

  • @KlingonPrincess
    @KlingonPrincess 10 месяцев назад +3

    Dear Mom, I love scarves as well but rarely wear them. One way that I've found flattering is to place the middle in front, ends go over the shoulders, around the back and wrap back over the shoulders. Okay, twist the front loop and push one end through from the front of the twist and the the other through the back of it. The ends hang down. This makes a secure, unfussy way to wear them that reduces bulk. The Hawaii scarf might look nice this way.

    My absolute favorite videos are you with your Mom. I find myself laughing and smiling throughout the whole video! I especially like it when you talk through decisions. How often do we all try on things that we don't wear or household stuff we don't use, and they go right back into the closet, shelf or drawer?! Excellent video!

    You are my favorite decluttering person Shannon. I have been looking for someone to motivate me for a long time and you are the only one that actually helps me get rid of things. Everyone else that I have seen talks about it but does not touch it. You are your mom are good comedy relief too. Thank you both for helping us. Got rid of a scratchy comforter that I bought at Kohl's that I have not used in years. So proud of myself. Dawn from Maryland

    I always love your mom’s decluttering. My mom & I decluttered at her house last month, and I’m working on my kitchen/ pantry/ dining room at the moment. I went through the whole house last year. I’m realizing how much of a regular habit it’s become and how far I’ve come. It’s more pleasant and less stressful and overwhelming than it was initially. Hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving! ☀💛🍯🐝🏆✨

    Always fun with the two of you. 😅 I’m 73 and have fallen into the scarf trap. 🤪 I declutter ed a lot a couple years ago. Definitely need to go through again. They al says seem to be such a great idea when you buy them but when you decide to wear them they just flop around are a more of a nuisance thank a fashion statement. 😂

    I have thin but large scarves, that can also be used as a shawl. I take them into places that I think may be cold due to A/C or if I need them only for a while, knowing the day is going to warm up. They fit in a quart size baggie. Squeeze out the air and they fit in most purses. Much more minimal and light than jackets and sweaters.

    Good job of letting go of those scarfs. I can definitly understand why it is hard to let go of such items even if one never really uses it.
    It is because we are fancy little magpies that loves Shiney. Some things are just fun to go through to apriciate the colours and textures and not really for using. So even letting go of a few of such a category is a very good job in my book. :)

    Kathy: I can see why when shopping for clothing, you are drawn to color, pattern, and texture. It is because you are an artist, and so your eye is looking with that perspective😊 I can also relate to seeing something that looks visually pretty or appealing, but then it does not look good as clothing when put on. I see so many people wear lovely plaids. But when I put them on, I look like
    I'm going to bale hay l o l. I can also relate to all of the low cut neckline tops... It is so hard to find a crew neck these days.
    Shannon: I think it's nice that you are wearing your dress and enjoying it. It is such a habit to save things for some special occasion. I wonder where we first derived that mindset?? Either way, it is definitely a strong pull to do that. I love having a minimal closet, but right now, it's a little bit too minimal because I am unable to find the warmer pieces that I want, due to everything being plunging neck line, bulky sweaters or plaid et cetera I've decided that plaid looks lovely as a throw pillow just not on me.
    😊I'm so happy to see you both doing well and revisiting the closet again!! Go us❤❤❤
    Happy Thanksgiving week! I'm going to make homemade rolls, a vegetable broccoli casserole and a pie to take to our dinner.😊

      Hello Julia, it's always nice to hear from you! I think you are right with my mom being an artist it makes sense she is drawn to all the pretty colorful things. I am trying hard to wear everything I own and not save anything for special occasions (unless it's a formal dress). I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. =)
