We all love a good declutter, so let's clear out my closet together, but we're keeping it real this time - while I do enjoy a good extreme wardrobe declutter or trying on all of my clothes, in this video we're chatting through what's in my girly closet and discuss personal style and try and practise mindful marie kondo methods!

You could get a cute iron-on patch to put over the Barbie. And if you sew it on instead, you can take it off if you decide you want the Barbie back.

[@llera_navi]

oh this is a great idea!! especially since the cardigan's pattern and colours are really cute, if the only issue is the Barbie detail then this would be a good solution 🫶

[@sophiadunn4059]

Would love a Q&A/life update on your experience during the move and the Sydney lifestyle going forward, your job, your partner and how he's doing, etc. ❤

[@LucyLivinYT]

Awww that's very sweet of you to ask for updates, I do worry about them being a lil boring 😅 I cover it a lil bit in the vlogs but maybe I can do something more put together 🫡 But thank you so much for watching + the suggestion! My partner and I are doing great, that's very sweet of you to ask 💕

[@mellimoon77]

Oh I really like the ultra light cashmere tops from Initimissimi. I have the roll-neck kind and they're amazing for layering under pinafore dresses, under jumpers that are a bit itchy, under waistcoats etc. They don't only have to be used for the sheer look .- but that's awesome too (I just personally couldn't rock that). They're perfect for autumn/winter and for traveling because they're so light and easy to wash/dries quickly. I have a 3 week work trip to Asia soon and that's basically what's going in my suitcase.

[@llera_navi]

39:04 this is so true!! we always see discussion online about what items are timeless/classic but it's completely different for everyone, especially with silhouettes and colours. although the black gucci bag is lovely, you'll probably reach for other white or pink options more :D

[@Shaymin770]

I can empathize with you on the Barbie situation. My style leans casual gothic, so when Netflix premiered Wednesday a couple of years ago, I felt a little conflicted. I actually really enjoyed the show, but I didn't want others to think I was just hopping on the bandwagon and copying the latest trends (which may or may not be worthy of a hipster label lol). It felt like I couldn't even wear my hair in two braids for a while. I also gave up wearing anything words or brands on it years ago. My parents used to call me a walking advertisement 😂

[@3breadsticks]

I love your decluttering videos, they always make me more motivated to declutter my wardrobe as well

[@marikotrue3488]

The stained white tee shirt @7:30 reminds me of mineral stains, usually caused by laundering in "hard" water. Lots of methods online, but the one that worked for me: "Mix baking soda with water to make a paste, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for up to 15 minutes. Then, lightly scrub with an old brush." Beware of removing the stain and the material! When I declutter, I also consider whether the item could be retired to my (small) cosplay closet. Keep the Barbie jacket, probably not the Minnie denim dress/coat and get that beautiful pink plushy jacket somewhere to be restored, it is stunning.

[@natasjatube]

Your style is so cute, especially that grey shirt with lace! When a stain is relatively new, you can use ox gall soap on it, but I don’t think it will work on old stains.

[@Leashpole]

I would say pack the barbie cardigan away, although I tend to be sentimental. It seems now it's not something you are interested in wearing, but if it's something you love with history that you think you could love again I would put it away. If you can't imagine wearing it again, then it might be good to sell. Putting it away gives you time to be certain if you're on the fence.

[@nefertitimontoya]

Beepworld uses an archive category! Super helpful

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Lucy happy Sunday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@N_0968]

For me it also seems like you just decluttered but I guess time flies when you’re having fun (while watching a rat lady). I enjoy a good declutter video so I’m glad to watch it. ❤

[@LucyLivinYT]

It feels so recent but I can't believe the last one was in my old apartment 😭 The last one was so thorough that it set us up for success with this one! Thank you so much for watching 💖

[@tulleandpens]

For the stain: try shaving creme. Apply it, rub it in, let it sit for an hour and wash it out. It does not work with all stains but shaving creme is cheap and therefore it's worth a try. You MUST use the white shaving creme though.

[@Crystal_Glitters]

Use Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover for your white top ✨. It’s a miracle worker. It has saved so many of my garments. Couldn’t be more grateful for its’ existence 💞.

[@xxoldmagicxx]

I mush oxiclean like product and stain remover liquid together and put it on stains and it usually works lol

[@SannePetersx]

If you ever get rid of that barbie cardigan i would love to buy it 😊❤ i also have that thing with only black in winter. Mostly white in summer 😂 but lately trying more skirt top combos for winter/autumn

[@hannahbanana95]

16:10 for the Barbie cardigan I’d get rid of it. The pink color itself on the cardigan looks like a warm neutral color (I’m a hairstylist, we’re trained to see the minuscule color differences of our work), you mentioned that you don’t think warmer colors suit your brown hair due to color analysis. While the cardigan is cute itself, it might not be giving what you want it to give to your outfit. 💜

[@ValBobness]

Could the mystery stains on the white top be from sitting on a chair that might have had rust in spots? Or even rusty drops from a roof or something? Just because of the color and where they are - I hope you can get them out!

[@arielgiroux]

Where is your wardrobe from? 🥰 I’ve been looking for one just like it!

[@KaterTotz]

Dawn power wash! That gets out coffee stains on my clothes!

[@zukoinstyle]

I was about to say didnt you just declutter😅

[@LucyLivinYT]

It's wild because it's actually longer than 9 months - I filmed it all the end of 2023 👀 so almost a year! 💀

[@briannaglancy4416]

Now that moving is over, just do something ab9ut that pink coat. Especially since it's going to get warmer soon, you can get it ready for next season

[@karo9949]

Regarding the knitted long skirts, could they be used at work as an alternative to trousers? Or is that too casual? Maybe wait until after the summer season and then declutter them 😊

[@Lunar_Ellipse]

Where is the safe work-appropriate white dress from? It's so cute!

[@LucyLivinYT]

It's super old Atmos + Here from the Iconic!

[@berryhedgehog]

The pastel knit skirts seem like a spring item, so if you don't end up wearing them in the spring then get rid of them.

[@manikahemmerixh]

I definitely get why people keep pieces but for me it has to be something really really special that feels irreplaceable. apart from putting seasonal clothing away I don't like the idea of having a large collection of clothing in storage, I'd rather donate it in the hopes that it will bring joy to someone else's wardrobe now rather than me keeping it with the idea that I miight, someday, in the unforeseen future, want to wear it again (this could also be because I've moved a lot in recent years and without being settled collecting anything feels cumbersome)

[@minaer515]

honestly the Gucci bag is gorgeous but if its uncomfortable to wear then its not going to be worn, not worth the effort! 💞😊

[@nefertitimontoya]

Would you ever do a thrift flip or start making your own pieces?

[@T1DMamaCrossing]

How did you get the animal crossing background music

[@rozharris6834]

This made me realise that I haven't worn a non-work skirt all year, and should probably donate or sell them...

[@LucyLivinYT]

Awww haha - I always feel like if it's over a year (so any season you would have worn them has passed) then that's when you maybe need to consider 😅

[@jodiesmith7443]

Declutter barbie hehe

[@AM-yi8mb]

keep some special things that spark to you for future (daughters or collectable saleable vintage pieces)
