The advice given by many youtubers and bloggers is to get rid of anything that you haven't worn in a year, but when you reach a certain age, you realize that a year is nothing. It's the blink of an eye. I don't get rid of anything unless it's hopelessly out of style by several years, or too worn to be presentable.

[@melocoton7]

A year is definitely not long enough. I like to declutter into storage boxes. Trends and tastes flow with time. It’s fun to shop your boxes every couple of years.

[@pmjtube]

UGH YES. Hearing this all the time during the pandemic and it sounded ridiculous. I knew I'll be going back to working at an office eventually, so getting rid of my work clothes wouldn't be wise. It's important to know what works for you before taking other people's advice.

[@cindland]

Totally agree. I have some thrift store leather jackets, waiting for me to lose a few pounds. They are more neutral styles and not trendy or dated for their age, so I can add them in again and again. I got the. Separately but carefully considered them for their style fit and color to match most of my wardrobe. They cost me very little, like $25 or less. I could never replace them for that. If I want trendy, I can go to Walmart for a sweater etc. I like quality on a budget. So I look at the sewing, fabric content, details. If it’s not good quality fabric (like a random purchase that suited a particular season or I needed for an outfit, it goes. In my 60s now, so I’m not changing my style or falling for *hot trends* as much these days. I did the same with denim jackets. I have about 8 of them, also different cuts, colors, and moods. I have space in my closet and will wear them once or twice a year each (except for the more snug ones). Same for my scarves too.

[@sh00ca]

This! I went through a very very very brief stage where I only wanted to dress like a 1950s housewife. It did not take me a full year before I was like who is that in the mirror? She's cute but that's not me. And if I had gotten rid of the things I wore before my phase, well, I'd be so angry at myself rn.

[@SueRosalie]

I agree and it definitely applies to winter clothing. I have things I didn't wear last winter (our winters are mild) but I will certainly wear them next winter.

[@lisabailey6605]

I’ve decluttered belts and blazers that I regret doing. Lesson learned.

[@yifatjovani333]

Totally a lesson ❤️

[@707tich]

Funny I did throw out belts and best thing I did👌🏾 now I have two quality ones not a bag of mix match worn out tack lol 🙈

[@dschultz6981]

Appreciate these tips! I've decluttered pieces I believed I'd never reach for again, and maybe a year later, I'd think, "wish I still had that sweater..." Instead of decluttering pieces I know I might want again, I store them in bins in my basement. I call this Clothing Purgatory ;) and it works so well.

[@HannahIm]

Oh my goodness! I also have a personal closing purgatory and that's the exact phrase I use. Great minds think alike!

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

I do this as well! I put the item away for a year, and if I don’t go back to it, I donate it or sell it.

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

I do the same thing. Mine are in the spare room closet just incase I want them again.

[@yifatjovani333]

Same here! It's so smart of us😄

[@TM-zq7qx]

Likewise! ❤

[@elizabethnovak8518]

The best question I ask myself when editing my wardrobe is, "Ok. I don't wear this right now. But if I ever want to wear a (blue blazer/ballet shoe/messenger bag/etc) again, is this the version I would want?" If the piece was never right to begin with, I let it move along. But if it's a great version of that item, I stick it in storage and don't worry.

[@tessarae9127]

Oooh! This is a great tip! Underrated IMO hopefully this gets more views

[@lookingatdaisies9901]

Before I made my rule to not let go of anything unless it was chafing or literally squeezing the life out of me, this was my thought process too, like "I don't wear this denim shirt, but if I was to go looking in the future I'd want this one exactly and no way I want to go through the hassle of finding the perfect denim shirt again"

[@paulachristie7807]

When I retired I donated all my blazers to a Women’s Shelter that was requesting “interview” clothes. I have regretted that decision so many times. They went to a good cause so I tell myself someone else needed them more than I did.

[@yifatjovani333]

I hear you, the goody to keep in mind that there are so many amazing clothes out there waiting for you to adopt them 😊

[@SueRosalie]

yes blazers worn as casual wear with jeans and sneakers are fantastic now

[@amandathompson7691]

My mom saved some of her good-quality blazers, jackets, etc. and it has been so fun for me to try on and wear things she did when she was younger. The nice thing about well-made clothes is they can be enjoyed for many years by multiple generations! Good video!

[@marilyndoering2501]

That’s what I did as well, and it’s so much fun to see my daughter who is in her 20’s pick out items she now wants to wear! Quality classic or unique styles are worth holding onto!

Yes, my mom save many of her good coats for me too. It is fun to give them another life. On the other hand, I regret getting rid of some really well-made pieces I’ve had in the past. It is so difficult now to find well-made quality items

[@HannahMitchell-Art]

Yup! I have 2 from my mum and 2 from my nana. In the last 20 years I have had them they have gone in and out of style. Fashion comes back around and having some high quality vintage pieces is worth holding on to

[@Krose07]

Awesome video. Everyone talks minimalism & the power of purging so much that it can create more consumerism bc you feel pressured to let go of things you haven’t worn in a year….then you’re trying to go find something like it later. I love keeping quality loved items to cycle back in for later on.

[@honeybdream]

Exactly!

[@33Jenesis]

I have a Benetton wool cardigan for 35 years. I stopped wearing it for years but couldn’t let it go. I am wearing it a lot this winter. It is perfect under a vest or a puffer, perfect length and yarn weight. I can’t find any new item like it.

[@alexandraeverafter1015]

Yes, I have fond memories of Benetton. I still have a few pieces from the 80s, and they are still look like the day my mom bought them. I just wish I still have the cute skirt that was originally my sister’s-I wore it to school not knowing it was lab day, and my lab partner spilled a chemical when she was shaking a vial on it. I was upset.

[@obscurity7]

Oh man. I bought a pair of suede/patent heels from Christian LaCroix in 2006 and I've never been able to declutter them. They have 4" skinny heels, but I bought them on a major sale, so I've held on to them. And you know what, I just wore them last night! They may have 4" heels but they're so comfortable and well made that by the end of the evening, I forgot I was wearing high heels.

[@e.smeltzer9286]

And if you love a belt and it doesn't fit you, get yourself a belt punch. Way cheaper than replacement and you get more wear and are able to enjoy it. If you have invested in cold weather gear, like a parka, that you like, fits you and is functional, don't get rid of it; even if you move to a warmer climate. You'll want it for a vacation, visiting friends or family, or that rare cold snap. I've even loaned pieces to family.

[@candydonnelly7543]

Audrey, thank you for your suggestions. As far as leather and other fabric handbags, my Goodwill often gets fabulous vintage leather handbags, I almost feel they are coming from the same person’s collection. If I feel like I have gone crazy, I list them on line, My Etsy Shop or on Poshmark and all is good. I will happily confess vintage handbags bring joy to my heart!

[@mellink14]

I never declutter any shoes or clothing I love and feel good in. I wear them whether they're "in style" that season or not! Thank you for this common sense video!

[@denaj6711]

I have a very large coat and jacket collection. I had something called frozen shoulder,so painful) and could literally not put my arm into a coat. In a painful moment I decluttered some loved jackets, now regret as I can use my arm again. Never declutter while not feeling well is the lesson.

[@wendybarker590]

Omg, am in the first (very painful) stage of adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and have been pulling and donating denim jackets (and any jacket or top that is rigid or too difficult to climb into) to the charity store. My "capsule wardrobe" (ha) comprises garments with more flexible fabrics, stretch or easy pull on, or front buttoning. A wee voice inside says I may regret it, but just want this painful journey to be over, especially as it follows a wrist fracture in September. Sounds like you've conquered it. That's so heartening to read. Thank you and well done!

[@denaj6711]

Hold off on donating. Just put them aside and use sweaters for now. I could not lift my arm at all. I actually got stuck in something while trying it on and exacerbated the pain by forcing my way out of the garment. It will get better but it takes quite a while. At some point you will be completely free of any pain and have the range of motion again. Be well.

[@wendybarker590]

@@denaj6711 Thank you so much for your kindness in replying Dena. It's so reassuring to know there's an optimistic outcome to this, and look forward to the day when, as a jacket and coat person, I can enjoy wearing my favourite garments.

[@ang5798]

Anything I once loved and wore every day, I will never declutter unless they are broken beyond repair.

[@sparklie962]

I really appreciate your focus today on the 3Fs: Fit, Functionality and Flattering. I value these far more than the 4th F of Fashion - especially when it is interpreted as following the latest trends. This can have the effect of creating uniform looks rather than celebrating individual heights/colouring/body shapes. If I were obsessed with being "fashionable," I'd be really discouraged these days as the oversized/baggy/cropped silhouettes crowding the racks these past few seasons are spectacularly hideous on me.

I couldn’t wear pretty much everything when I gained weight from 2018 to 2022. I didn’t donate my whole closet. I just bought new forgiven clothes like sweatshirts and sweatpants. Now I am back down to a reasonable weight, it’s a joy to get back to my old faves.

I completely agree with the jeans one. I have considered Decluttering a pair of jeans because it wasn’t fitting the way I wanted at some point in my life and I am so glad I just put them aside, tried them later on and they fitted me the same or better than before. Personal style also changes/evolves over time, so it’s always good to hold on to our classic pieces for a while. Great video as per usual 💕

Audrey, my skin and hair coloring is very similar to yours, yet I avoid brown like the plague. Seeing how good you look with this scrumptious shade of chocolate it's going to make me reconsider. It's all about finding the "right" depth and undertone, isn't it?

It's a great video. Thank you, beautiful lady.

Wonderful video. Everyone should pay attention and follow your advice!!! Ten years ago I sold a 14 karat herringbone necklace because no one was wearing them. Big mistake. They are now back in style. 😂

There are definitely certain items that I am very slow to declutter. I have the hardest time getting rid of shoes. I generally only get rid of the ones that are in horrible shape or are terribly uncomfortable. I’m slow to get rid of blazers and coats and well fitting slacks that are wool or silk or excellent quality. Cocktail dresses and formal wear I’m also slow to throw out or at least the dresses that are expensive and well made. I’ll also add that you might be slow to get rid of purses and handbags that are excellent quality. The style may change, but vintage is always in style. You don’t always have to have the bag that everyone else is carrying. Pulling out that vintage purse can make you stand out!

Your cream bag is gorgeous!

Awesome video as always Really wish if you could do a video on styling different types of belts

[@leticiavillarreal3689]

You are my favorite fashion KZbinr! Your style isn’t like mine but I would love to dress like you. Your videos are so helpful and I learn a ton from you. Have you done a video about belts? I’m not sure how to include them or which ones to buy to go with my outfits.

I’ve had to base my style and wardrobe around shoes that fit. My whole family has super narrow feet but I decided when I was 7 that I wasn’t going to wear shoes all summer…during a growth spurt. Caused my feet to widen massively.

❤❤❤I agree!

I got rid of my silk scarves and ones made from other fabrics. I have built up a large collection of ponytail scruchies, including fun holiday ones

A very helpful video. I have jewelry, I simply love, and will not declutter. 🥰✨

Beautiful outfits Audrey

I love your black moto jacket! That's exactly the style I'm looking for, just wrong color for me.

I’m so addicted to your videos. I’m wondering if you could list the bags featured in the video please

[@nuclearhotseat1550]

I have good quality leather boots and flats (I don't wear heels) from more than 20 years ago. I kept them because I couldn't bear to part with things that were so nice, well made, and fit me comfortably, but I didn't wear them for about 15+ years because they all had square toes. And now - ta da! Square toes are back again, and I have a lovely wardrobe of shoes/boots for the cost of getting the leather refurbished or just shined up.

Declutter in your wardrobe!

Love this video! Can you please relink the jeans you are wearing in the video? The current link doesn't work for some reason.
