My New Year’s resolution is no / very low buy. I recently decluttered my closet and decided that I actually pretty much have everything I want. And so 2025 will be a lowkey year on frivolous spending. High on experiences and helping out ❤️
*I really liked how you utilized storage bins and gave organizing tips. It's truly helpful for anyone looking to tidy up. Such a creative and practical video!* 💯💯💯❤❤❤
I like the declutter. I put all my travel items in my suitcase and anything else where I’ll use it-it helps to just get it out of there and into the suitcase.
Oh boy, I have the same issue and I am such a clothes hoarder, lol. Partly because each piece I buy, I curate and love and partly because I have been the same size since college, so everything fits. Also, there were some items I bought in Europe, decades ago and gave away, like original Sonia Rykiel and Pucci pieces and now could kick myself. But, I have to do this and you are inspiring me.
If this wasn’t the motivation I need to embark on my holiday break cleaning/organizing/selling/donating journey I don’t know what is! Literally trying to solve the same problems as you are here so thank you for the inspiration!
Hi Michele, thanks for another declutter video!!!🎉🎉🎉 I did the same thing to my old clothes. I tossed all my polyester shirts, dresses and pants and only kept the cotton and silk ones . It was such a time consuming process. Happily, at the end it did earn me a lot space for new goodies❤❤❤
When I moved, my organizer guru made me get rid of unnecessary boxes. She’d ask, “What’s the point?” Tough love? I’m glad you expunged the too big clothes. My mother would call that stuff as being from “Omar the tent maker.” More tough love. Congrats on your decluttering. Excellent job, albeit exhausting.
Wow, good for you losing what I’m guessing to be a huge amount of weight. Also brave and committed to decide you’re never going back to whatever size you were!! Getting rid of it all ensures you won’t put it back on..Myself, like lots of females I know, have a varying amount of sizes in my closet. If I’m starting to head into the bigger stuff I know it’s time to take control…congrats…your videos are so fun to watch too as they really vary into many topics.
It’s great to see all the decluttering & organizing you’re getting done during mishmas. It’s inspiring me to go do the same. My closets are stuffed so tight when you mentioned the clothes on hangers being wrinkled I knew exactly how you felt. Hanging clothes on the valet rods yep. Thank you for pushing me to get going and do a declutter. 😆🎄
Your eye look is amazing! Really love your clothes declutter Hahaha I do the same with my tags and receipts. I hang on to them in case I want to return or make an excel as reference to sell my stuff later on when I out grow it. Never get around to it 😂
Good morning Michele, another declutter. I am scared of you. I love it. I do this every few months and always feel better when I do so good for you. Happy Day 20 🎄♥️🎄 Ps. Love your Bottega Aviators!
When I’m finished, I put all the hangers in the front of the section. Makes them easier to find. I also straighten all the hangers. But that’s because of my retail clothing working days. Great job. Just think of all the new stuff you have room for 😊
Great inspirational video. My new rule is I have to get rid of something if I buy something. I'm out of room, I would rather have a few nice pieces than a closet full of so-so clothing pieces. This year will be a low buy except for a few luxury pieces. Also, I find that it is too warm to wear cashmeres most of the time in Los Angeles and they just sit in containers - so no more cashmere sweaters. I love Veronica Beard clothing. Great quality and not too expensive. My obsession is with scarves - preferably Hermes or Gucci. Luckily, they don't take up a lot of room. BTW, anything from Lululemon sells really well on Poshmark if you feel the inclination to turn them into cash.
Well done! I know it is a lot of hard work, but it will be so much easier now to actually use your closet. If you do have items tailored, I would be interested in the processes. Your shirt dress collection reminds me a LOT of my work wardrobe - LOL - so that would suggest, perhaps as a bonus, when you donate the items that you are no longer using - there is probably a bunch of people that need great work wear that would love to give a new life to items.
Michele toss those boxes, you have boxes in boxes! I get it though, I horde empty jars from used up products... I toss them all every few years but I again have a bag of empty jars...
The No 20 with milk, is delicious!! Unfortunately a lot of the special flavors in Nespresso are limited edition. The peanut and sesame are. Patiently waiting for you to try the chocolate!
This is for the 1st or 2 rd week in January, maybe!! When you start with the best makeup, if you don't have the best make up for an area, can you please, please list which is your favorite you're using? This means a lot to me because I know you try the best such as mascara.
Yes, saving all those empty boxes is hoarding behavior lol When are you ever going to use those again? However, I can relate! I have the same problem with saying to myself - that’s a good bag (or box) - and it’s literal garbage 😂
Well done! It is so neat when people get rid of clothes because their body shape changes! makes life easier : ) I have been at my wits end to make my mum declutter her closet. She has hoarded way too many things now and has about 5 different people's measurement in her wardrobe! :'D Mind you, she is a professional seamstress, so literally everything she touches, she comments on HOW it can be transformed into still usable ... but she has no space in her apartment, dammit! :'D Anyway, it is nice to see you keep empty nice boxes and tags and receipts :D :D I do the same... however what helped me tone that type of hoarding is two rules: 1. Only keep receipts until items can be returned and only keep tags of special collabs/limited releases. 2. Only keep the first ever purchased item's box/brand. So first ever Chanel makeup order that came in a large box, still have it, but none of the ones that came after. First ever Vivienne Westwood jewellery box, but none of the ones purchased after. And so on. Hope it helps, hope you read it, hope you'll consider it one day. It made me feel much lighter. I am watching Mishmas in an odd order, given the length of some videos, so I wish you a peaceful Christmas Eve on this one! Here, in the UK when I am writing this is just past midday and everyone is in a cleaning frenzy! I must join in now :)
I have two biscuit tins full of labels and spare buttons attached! The issue I have is thinking I really need to try and sell clothes to recoup some $ but that takes time and energy I often do not have. Are you selling or donating? Whichever it is, well done!
Hello Mitchelle good morning I have been following you for about 5yrs always love your suggestions and recommendations i was wondering of your were willing to sell some of you designer size 12 cloth ?
You are funny finding something cool and Chanel you forgot about. I have done the same thing. You gave me the inspiration to go through my makeup and I realized I no longer like some of the scents I used to love. I also found a bunch of goodies so I am saving money. It is worth it but exhausting! I see a much deserved rest in your future. 😊
Ah time for me to declutter my closet as well. I’ve donated so many items but I could do more. I want to get my wardrobe down to just the pieces I wear on the usual. I have so many “just in case” or “backup” pieces but I’ve got to be honest with myself, I don’t need those cluttering up my closet and drawers.😂 edit: tailoring that blazer will be expensive since they’ll basically have to alter it all over and likely need to adjust the armscye which is tricky. Good luck though!😊
You can send old/no longer wanted Eileen Fisher back to them, to be used in their line of upcycled pieces. It gives me some level of comfort knowing that a well-loved piece will have another life. Thanks for taking us along as you declutter-as you know, quite a few of us really derive inspiration from it. Happy Mishmas! 🎄😊!
Hey Michele, I realize you likely do not have the bandwith for this but thought I'd throw it out there anyway, if you wanted to sell some of those AH-Mazing pieces you could take the money and put it towards a charity of your liking, or of course keep the $$ after all they are your clothes, you bought them, I just heard you say you wanted to donate them and this is jus ta different way to allow women like myself would LOVE one or two of those awesome items and would gladly pay for them, and it would be a way to raise some $$ for a charity that is maybe close to your heart. just a thought :) you have made me inspired to attack my own closet after Christmas :)
Be careful storing the ginger gummies, my mother stored something similar and found massive and I mean massive amounts of ants attacking the bag, I was so gross.
I declutter Ed a bag of makeup. I’m donating to the woman’s center. This next year I will be on a no buy for skin and makeup products, and a low buy for clothes. I’m tired of wasting my money.
You worked hard but you must feel so “light” to declutter. I don’t know if you plan on leaving the empty hangers randomly throughout your closet. I keep my extra hangers in a basket in my closet. I can easily grab what I need when I need one instead of looking through my clothes for an empty hanger. It also affords me extra rack space. You are going to make many women happy with your donations. 🥰
Jackets that are too big should be declutterred. To tailor armholes, and all panels will ruin the line/style of the jacket. Don’t keep clothes that are ‘slightly big’ you deserve clothes that fit. Only keep clothes that truly fit in your closet. Pack away any clothes that don’t fit, it will help you move closer to letting it go. Black looks best on young people. Otherwise it is funeral or widow attire.
My New Year’s resolution is no / very low buy. I recently decluttered my closet and decided that I actually pretty much have everything I want. And so 2025 will be a lowkey year on frivolous spending. High on experiences and helping out ❤️
Those two drawers with random stuff made me feel so much better. I thought I was the only one holding onto stuff like that 😂
@MicheleWang and @Fengjessica Relatable..none of us are only one 😊
*I really liked how you utilized storage bins and gave organizing tips. It's truly helpful for anyone looking to tidy up. Such a creative and practical video!* 💯💯💯❤❤❤
I like the declutter. I put all my travel items in my suitcase and anything else where I’ll use it-it helps to just get it out of there and into the suitcase.
I'm addicted to your declutter techniques....it inspired me to tackle my hoards of make up and shoes ❤ your channel
This makes me want to clean out my closet and all my makeup/skin care. Love the declutter vids!
🙌🏻

Yay!! I'm so glad you're inspired to start your own cleaning etc journey! 💖
Its so liberating to be organized...and you're not a hoarder but a well organized maximalist!
Well done you! Hard work letting stuff go. Inspiring video.

You're inspiring me to clean out my closet next week. Another motivator will be going to The Container Store. :)

Hi Michele thanks for the inspiration 🎄🎄❤ You are so funny😁
I plan on the closet declutter between Christmas and New Year. Make room for any new goodies I get. Lol
What a beautiful little Chanel pouch ❤. Enjoyed the video Michele. Xx
Your eye look is amazing! Really love your clothes declutter
Hahaha I do the same with my tags and receipts. I hang on to them in case I want to return or make an excel as reference to sell my stuff later on when I out grow it. Never get around to it 😂

Ps. Love your Bottega Aviators!
Happy Day 20!🎄♥️🎄
I have that Eileen Fisher wool coat in light blue from last year. Such a beautiful coat and easy to wear over stuff. Love the quality.
The clothing decluttering is exhausting 😮 Some people will be very glad to get your donations 😊 I love donating clothing and shoes🎉
Wow, great job. Have a great day.
Very organized. I’m hooked on watching this show
I'm glad you're enjoying it! 😊
When I’m finished, I put all the hangers in the front of the section. Makes them easier to find. I also straighten all the hangers. But that’s because of my retail clothing working days. Great job. Just think of all the new stuff you have room for 😊
The Stella blazer is perfect the way it is! I would love any of my blazers to fit like that. 🤗
Thank you!!
Ready to watch and get some inspiration for my declutters that need to happen in January 😊

Declutter is a workout 💪🏼
It really is!
I just talked to my niece about coming over this weekend to help me with my closet lol 😆 🙌🏻 perfect timing.
Haha that’s awesome!
day of everything with orange 🟠
Why not put all your coats into another closet? This would give you more space in your main closet.
This is what I had to do, coats occupy a lot of space.
I do this too. X
Love the dresses. 🫶🏻
Great declutter session Michele 💪. I also bought so much black years ago and now it’s all about neutrals, I almost can’t wear black any more.
love your hair
Well done! I know it is a lot of hard work, but it will be so much easier now to actually use your closet. If you do have items tailored, I would be interested in the processes.

Yay! MishMas Day 20! 🫶🏻
Eileen fisher does a recycle program. They resell, or reuse if you return to the store. You also get $5 credit.
Thanks for the inspiration ☺️
🙏🏻
You're welcome, love you🎉🎉🎉
❤️
I also lost weight and declutterd! Now to fill back up at 55 without going into 2000 mode of getting too young a vibe.
❄ ⛄ Happy Mishmas! ⛄ ❄ …Day 20! ❤
Michele toss those boxes, you have boxes in boxes! I get it though, I horde empty jars from used up products... I toss them all every few years but I again have a bag of empty jars...
The No 20 with milk, is delicious!! Unfortunately a lot of the special flavors in Nespresso are limited edition. The peanut and sesame are. Patiently waiting for you to try the chocolate!
Thank you for the inspiration to declutter! Can I ask you where your dark grey tee and your lighter grey long sleeve top are from?
Declutter and then order mote! That’s me too.
You have a makeup declutter video? 🤩
perfect consumer
See if you can get the Moncler toile coat altered! Worth a shot with a good tailor!
This is for the 1st or 2 rd week in January, maybe!! When you start with the best makeup, if you don't have the best make up for an area, can you please, please list which is your favorite you're using? This means a lot to me because I know you try the best such as mascara.
Hi Michele, happy holidays 🎉wish I was there and get some of the donations 😢
I would have purchased some of your items!
Yes, saving all those empty boxes is hoarding behavior lol When are you ever going to use those again? However, I can relate! I have the same problem with saying to myself - that’s a good bag (or box) - and it’s literal garbage 😂
Well done! It is so neat when people get rid of clothes because their body shape changes! makes life easier : )

I love COS, but you should send that cape/poncho on its way...
Hi Michele where is your gray t from? I like the shape. Always on the hunt for that perfect T-shirt!
I’m a Eileen Fisher gal! So happy I can buy petites, although they don’t make enough.
Where do you find a large decorative Pines to buy?
Good morning Michelle 🕳️
Have rest now. Id like to see a clear out of your PR cupboard lol xx
she decluttered her makeup a few days ago! smile😊
Keep the boxes in case you want to sell anything in the future.
I tried to declutter my sweatshirt collection this fall and got rid of exactly zero. It’s so hard!!
So hard!! 🤣
I have two biscuit tins full of labels and spare buttons attached! The issue I have is thinking I really need to try and sell clothes to recoup some $ but that takes time and energy I often do not have. Are you selling or donating? Whichever it is, well done!
Why are u keeping those boxes-ull never use them

New to your channel. How did you lose all the weight?
Hi, I’m new here. How did you lose so much weight? I am currently on a weight loss journey. 🤞🏻 Hopefully I’ll reach my goal weight.
Ah time for me to declutter my closet as well. I’ve donated so many items but I could do more. I want to get my wardrobe down to just the pieces I wear on the usual.

I don't declutter, I just pass everything to my mom, and then it's her headache, not mine 😆
i got my mom some of the No.20. she didnt notice any flavor 🤷🏽♀️
Did you go to Morocco? I am from Morocco!!!
I’d sell the coats that are too big. That way, I’d not feel bad of getting rid of them bc another person would be happy with it.

I'm so jealous of the people who will get all your donated goodies! Wishing you still lived in NYC right now...
Is this hoarding behaviour? Well, if you have to ask…. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Get rid of everything that’s too big…the dressmakers charge as much to fix then the item. Buy fresh
You worked hard but you must feel so “light” to declutter. I don’t know if you plan on leaving the empty hangers randomly throughout your closet. I keep my extra hangers in a basket in my closet.

The Container Store = the store full of plastic that will eventually end up in landfill
Ever thought of being a non consumer?
Such beautiful items i would tailor them to ur current size. Donate them to ur subscribers or let us buy ❤❤❤
Jackets that are too big should be declutterred. To tailor armholes, and all panels will ruin the line/style of the jacket. Don’t keep clothes that are ‘slightly big’ you deserve clothes that fit.

Otherwise it is funeral or widow attire.
The excess of Americans is really unfathomable and truth be told quite off putting.
Don’t get rid of all of he clothing which is too large…put top 30 pieces in plastic bin.
Hi Michele, happy holidays 🎉wish I was there and get some of the donations 😢
