9 Things to Declutter from Your Closet for Winter Over 60

[@jeanettekays1954]

So hard to get rid of items in the closet that I've had for a long time. It's kind of a love affair. Thank you for giving me inspiration. Now it's time to go to my coat closet.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

They take up so much space too.

[@hinaynihorvath3926]

Really? Who wants to keep clothes they get stale

[@debrawright9195]

Agree about the low rise jeans and pilled sweaters 😬

[@viviennepayne7966]

I’ve found Decluttering in categories is the best way to do it. Not so overwhelming. Love the colour of your blouse. It suits you so well.

[@lynnfox8376]

When donating to charity shops please can people remember that they don't have washing facilities so please wash/ clean items before donating. Sorry to mention it but as a volunteer I sort rather a lot of grubby donations, particularly coats. Quick tip - sometimes going over the coat with a damp microfibre cloth is sufficient to revive a coat and clean light surface dirt.

[@carolalvarez3925]

Loved your scarves. I'm an autumn. Wish I could take all your scarf discards.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

That would have been handy

[@angelalloyd8035]

The colour of the blouse you are wearing in this video really suits your cool tone 😊

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@tamiewert808]

I so enjoy your videos! Your sense of humour comes across, and you make your viewers feel as if they are among friends! ❤ from 🇨🇦

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you so much

[@lizlawley6680]

Oh, the one really glamorous coat... Yes please, where can I get one?

[@christinepearson1455]

I wish I lived near your charity shop, I would buy most of those scarves you’re taking !! They are my colours and I’m a sucker for a scarf, especially those silky squares!

[@purpleygirl100]

The comparison of your fuschia top with the coat is a good example of the difference that having colour analysis can make. The fuschia is beautiful on you. (Tip if anyone is interested: To check whether someone has a warm or cool skin tone look at the veins on their inner wrist. If veins appear blue or purple tone it’s cool, if they are more green it’s warm and if it’s a mixture then neutral.) Thank you for such a helpful video, it has inspired me to dig through my old coats and accessories and sort out what I no longer wear/need. ❤

[@jackiebaker1678]

I just did EXACTLY what you did in this video TODAY! Yea us!

[@alicesprings9844]

The blue tweed coat is beautiful! Get some fine merino underwear from Dillings to keep you warm!

[@laura24590]

The Wrong Trousers!! One of the best films ever. 🐑🐑

[@MaureenEdden]

I've just bought a cherry red cashmere. I love it.

[@Tamatra-Sings]

Love your red shirt on you!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

It's a lovely deep fascia in real life. Thank you

[@VandaPietrantonio]

I have accumulated many coats . Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rosemarycollyer7008]

I have to admit I have loads of coats and jackets some really old . Some in loft ,some downstairs some in wardrobe in spare room and some I can't find ! I don't wear coats that often either as I tend to wear different types of jackets . I really need to sort it !!!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes mine are stored in spare room wardrobe too.

[@debrawright9195]

@@Myover50fashionlife and mine 😂

[@JennyZinaTavares]

I've a really old but warm parka with a broken zipper and horrible looking gloves. I keep them for when I have to shovel the walks and clean the snow off the car so my good coats don't get dirty. lol

[@Myover50fashionlife]

We just haven’t had snow. Rain yes lots ☔️

[@debrawright9195]

I got rid of a John Rocha coat that wasn't warm enough, and it was too tight! Also, a trench coat that was too 'floppy'. I have a pure wool red coat similar to yours and a beige wool Joules coat that do the job when I want to be warm and smart. Most of my others are walking coats 🐕😂

[@cathydrinkwater1099]

Is it important to consider the colour? Tweed and wool are not warm enough now after wearing the padded coat

[@AdventuresInStyling]

For lord’s sakes thank god for the end of the waterfall cardigan!!!

[@kikihodges8695]

I could really do with following your example. Coats, scarfs, gloves... I'm not living in the arctic.

[@lynnetrue4103]

Especially with outerwear, before you donate to charity/thrift shops call your local churches or homeless organizations. Have the men in your life do the same. They may be serving a community that really needs those items and cant afford todays thrift prices. And yes PLEASE make sure they are clean and usable.

[@ruthmalcolm3028]

I relate to this!!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Glad it was useful. We hang on to coats for so long.

[@joannanangle4876]

Love grey coat

[@joannanangle4876]

I love cream coat

[@blktauna]

lol I donate stuff frequently and honestly I know my style so I have things wear out instead of lying about. Girl that light glam coat I'd be wearing all the time. Its so cute! I wear the fingerless over fingered when its really cold. I'm unloading all the high rise trousers I have. I hate them. They sit right under my boobs. Awful. I also have no storage so I'm forced to clean out in order to bring in.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes if it's uncomfortable we won't wear it so it must go.

[@trishhickson1550]

That brown check scarf. Was it FabFitFun? Because I’ve got one very like it. Never worn it but I’m soft autumn so I guess it’d suit me. I have a drawer full of scarves, and it’s a good point about colour suitability.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes it was FFF . 😃 it just is roo stiff to wrap .

[@trishhickson1550]

@ oh I’ve not even tried to wrap it. I will probably also move it on. Watched a horrifying programme on Netflix last night called Buy Now. The part about waste and clothes recycling was particularly shocking. It certainly made me think.

[@carolineeveratt]

​@@Myover50fashionlifeI had it as well. Found it scratchy

[@dinnykelly6763]

I really do not like fur/fake fur coats. Your shirt is beautiful 👍🏼

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

Why did you think the first Red scarf not suit you, it had the same red as your shirt and I thought it looked ok with your skintone... I agreed with the rest. The gloves from your mum must be hard to toss, I kept my dads braces (not the new ones in the packet, the old wornout ones that he wore until he passed❤)

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Because despite on screen the blouse weirdly looking red, it’s actually pink. The scarf is orange red. It really does not show the difference on many screens . On an iPad the colours look right. It’s strange.

[@mariecleo214]

Totally disagree with you on the coats! I felt all the coats didn't flatter you at all but the red one looked fantastic 😊

[@Myover50fashionlife]

On the screen reds don't look as they do in real life. On the screen I also thought yes too.

[@carolineeveratt]

My working wardrobe is now redundant!

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

I called a color expert in my area in the California desert she wanted over $1000 to have my colors done. I said oh I’m sorry I don’t have the budget for that. I would love to have it done, but not for that price. If you could have somebody contact me that does it for a reasonable price I do it.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

My lady does zoom calls even for the USA and price is nothing like that. She’s coming up in next Sundays video with her contact details.

[@viviennepayne7966]

😂yes get rid of those low rise skinny’s even for round the house.

[@ChristineToon]

I shop at charity shops but they are getting so expensive now you might as well go to the high street it's such a shame.i do give alot to charity but I also sell on car boots in the summer.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I sell on vinted. I agree about charity shop pricing. Especially compared to the sales on basics.

[@Wendy-Ma]

I only have one coat, I cound never afford to have more than that.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

These were collected over 20 years and include ones from thrift stores too. But we don't need many coats. Its silly not to redonate them.

[@trishhickson1550]

I really liked the coats you kept. I had to laugh at the gloves. I wear my fingerless gloves constantly for dog walks and other things and hardly ever wear proper ones! I do agree your fingers get cold but I can’t do a thing with gloves over my fingers.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Perhaps I should keep those gloves and try again this winter 🤔

[@trishhickson1550]

@@Myover50fashionlife😂I didn’t mean to make you keep things!

[@lizlawley6680]

You can't play the violin or guitar unless you have fingerless gloves. Playing cheerful and/or christmassy music outdoors, fingerless is the way to go. 👍

[@barbaraannfrench8773]

I prefer the orange red coat on you better than both the fur coats, I see lots of people on utube who have had their colours anaylsied and get rid of other colours from their wardrobe I don’t know if it’s the light but on the camera they actually look good on them. I hope this doesn’t sound too critical I have four winter coats : a camel coat 30 years plus a long grey military style coat 20 years plus a black puffa coat most practical coat and a blue puffa for walking the dog.the black coat who saw me wearing the blue coat and said I needed a new coat but I still walk the dog in the old one

[@Myover50fashionlife]

It is the light on camera. If you see the blouse I’m wearing as red the light is wrong. As I said in the video, on my pc I see red but on my iPad the correct fascia. The coat is an orange red and really doesn’t work in real life.

[@susanparker534]

You don’t show warm scarves

[@Myover50fashionlife]

The tan one is and reason for donating was too stiff and not wide enough.

[@angelnocte]

Thank goodness for the demise of the low rise skinny jeans. Soooo unflattering on me!

[@InternationalMysteries360]

Hope your wrist is better.

[@monikamichaelis-iw3to]

I hate wide leg pants.

[@susanjackson6972]

I think skinny jeans are just downright ugly and unflattering - I’ve always hated them - unless you’re a model. And now they just look dated, frumpy and old fashioned. And I personally think high rise jeans on anyone over the age of 25 are just as ugly and unflattering, just emphasising the tummy and making your bum look huge. Mid rise is way more flattering on anyone.

[@joannanangle4876]

Love burgundy coat
