The video was getting way too long so I cut out the part where I talked through questions I was going to ask myself as I was going through my clothes so I'll just write it here :) 1. Does it spark joy? (a little Marie kondo-ing) 2. Is it comfortable? (why/why not & is it the material?) 3. Does it fit how I want it to fit? 4. If I need to alter it, will I? 5. Would I miss it?

Looks like a lot of us are in sync! I just cleaned out my wardrobe and got rid of a whopping 100 pieces.. If anyone’s interested: I did it a bit differently: I got all my items out of their original homes and put it in a different room, organised it in categories and went through it super quickly Marie Kondo style and put everything in a keep/maybe/goodbye pile. After I got through everything, I tried everything in the “maybe” pile and said my goodbyes to all the items I was going to let go off. I feel so much lighter, very inspired and so much more excited to get dressed everyday!

I’m new here but I loved this! As someone with crazy ADHD, that decluttering really does change your life friends! After weeks of tossing things to the side and a lack of organizing. I cleaned out my closest over a couple of weeks and it felt like a piano had been lifted off my spirit! There had been so many pieces I hadn’t worn in months or even years, so it felt so nice to donate and let go to make room for new pieces and energies in my life. Now I clean about 15 minutes before every morning, and ensure clothes are always being utilized to truly keep my peace and allow for my most efficient and intuitive moments throughout the day. It also helps to document this for my KZbin channel to inspire others and just be appreciative of those small moments. I definitely recommend trying to incorporate this for all my neurodivergent folks and everyone looking to add a helpful habit to their morning routine. Much love friends. - Maha🤍

Love a good declutter. ✨ I've been working on keeping my wardrobe down by doing a few things: Establishing a color palette. There are a total of like 6 colors in my entire wardrobe. Wearing only what I love and what makes me feel good. I like to ask myself my 3 Cs. Does this make me feel confident? Do I think it's cute? Is it comfortable? Thrifting with intention. I have a list of specific things I'm looking for and do not stray from that. I've also been trying not to buy items that only serve one purpose or can only be worn in specific events. I like my whole wardrobe to do it all for anything at any time. 😆 When I declutter, I try not to keep anything that I just kinda like. If it's not a definite yes or I find myself rationalizing having it, it needs to go. I try not to have duplicate items unless it's just something I really love in another color or style. Anyone else trying to declutter can also try a hanger trick I've heard of to help visually see what you do and don't wear. When you wear an item, turn the hanger around or separate it from the items you haven't worn. Keep a tally if you need to, but this way you'll visually see what you're wearing consistently every month. If I haven't touched an item in months and it isn't because of the season, then I typically get rid of it. You could also try removing one item when you buy another to avoid bulk or building that back up. You can also donate, resell, or recycle the unwanted items. Some areas have textile recycling facilities which I think is super helpful.

I was also adopting a mindset of understanding I like the item doesn’t mean I need it, if it doesn’t make me feel good about myself when I wear it. Also not spending pointless time on items that I know I won’t wear, but keeping them for the sake of “I’ll make it work”. I won’t, otherwise I’d already have done so. No “only of this small detail would be a little different id feel better about it”. No “let me see if I can style it some way”, again, it should be easily working with my wardrobe, because if I’d have to spend time brainstorming how to wear it, I won’t, I will pick something I’m already confident about and in. Also stopped reworking so many clothes just to give them a “chance”, because most times I end up still not liking the item and now it’s harder for someone else to actually thrift it and enjoy it, because it was tailored for me in some way, especially if it’s not professionally done and I can’t take back to original form easily. Only when it’s 100% obvious I love already how item looks, but small tailoring will look neat and make it even better, then I’m gonna go for it. In short- if it’s not a clear “yes”, it’s a no. I’m not gonna work for my clothes, clothes are supposed to work for me.

You mentioned wanting to analyze 'your colors', I think that would make a good video! I am guessing you'd be a light or soft summer. And that's why that green turtleneck looks a little off, because it's a warmer autumn green. You don't always have to follow your "best" colors all the time though. I am a soft summer and they aren't suppose to wear black, but I wear black all the time lol. It's just for fun and for content, it doesn't mean you have to follow those rules. Another good video would be analyzing your Kibbe body type. You're tall so I am guessing "soft dramatic" or "soft natural" type. Most of the Kibbe types seem to be for shorter women , so tall women always end up either natural or dramatic.

⏳️ Hourglass here. My shoulders are actually in line w/my "X" proportions, however a well constructed shoulder (even a shoulder pad) can ➡️minimize⬅️ the appearance of more ⬅️generous bust & hips➡️. 🪄 Shoulder definition on our garments can make a HUGE visual difference. While wearing slouchy shirts or cardigans can make us seem heavier🤣. 👩🏫Know the experts say we should wear v-necks, deeper round necks, square necks, sweetheart necks, boat necks, etc. Basically, anything that shows off more of our neck & collarbone can help reduce our bust. Except on me most of those ⬇️ lower & wider ↔️ necklines also expose cleavage😳. That's something I personally detest🤬. 😉Given a choice I'd rather wear a crew or high round neck, & try to enhance my shoulder structure more. A more body-con or tailored top that shows off our waist definition is our saving grace. Plus, I'm fanatical about using color to best advantage. Prefer to establish continuous column of ↕️ vertical monochromatic color (vs choppy color blocks) to help visually elongate & minimize my curvy figure. When you have a low waist & longer torso, your legs can seem stumpy 🪵 (esp. in the wrong bottom). You gotta use every trick you can stand in your arsenal to help fool the 👁eye. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
