big closet clean out + trying on ALL my clothes! ✨ wardrobe declutter for 2023 ✨

[@alexasunshine83]

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?

[@wlammy4ever]

Tbh you could post a 3 hour long vid where you talk through everything and we’d watch the crap out of that haha

[@Soulcrash3]

Please sell the two tone boots on depop instead of donating them! I'll buy them in a heartbeat and you can donate the money to a better charity!

[@veronicasegovia1352]

Thanks so much for the awesome video! Would love to have the alohas boots donated to me if you're going to give them away 😏🤣

[@ossaobscura]

Great advice..."just because something is cute, doesn't mean that you have to buy it or that you will wear it." I have finally adopted that mindset when I thrift, and it has saved me money and heartache! Always love your closet declutter videos.

[@kylie6764]

I do that as well,but occasionally regret not picking something up 😅

[@liesbethartlife]

That’s my goal for 2023 :) I just started on feb 1st. Couldn’t start before my birthday 😂

[@abbybush4875]

I've had to adopt this mindset as well because I was buying WAY too much at the thrift store. The last time I was at the thrift store, I didn't have time to try things on and I now regret the one sweater I bought, even though it's super adorable.

[@DominiqueRamseyArt]

As a maximalist, I personally think that it's ok to have a lot of clothes if you can afford it and regulate whats in your wardrobe. I love that you allow yourself to indulge in fashion while regulating your closet like you're doing in this video. It indeed makes you so happy to put on clothes that you absolutely love!

[@jknee6]

I really love the direction you’re going with your channel! I think showing stuff you really love is more interesting than “unique” outfits

[@maya-gur695]

I just had a conversation with a friend about how difficult it is to declutter our closet. Both of us are unsuccessful with getting rid of pieces we love but don't wear that often.

[@brendasnow8255]

I find it too easy and often regret it.

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

@@brendasnow8255 I’ve often done that too. I get in decluttering moods or other impulsive decisions, 😢and have donated pieces I missed later. For me, it’s helped to keep the bag of “goodbye” clothes in my room for a week or more- I go back into it and try on the clothes I regret, play with restyling them, etc, until I’m satisfied that everything in the bag belongs there.

[@lifexfashionxbeauty]

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!

[@wandawaffle]

i am proud of you!❤️

[@crashofthemoons]

For a long time I always wanted to look “in style” or “trendy” I think it’s because as a child I wasn’t allowed to get new clothes very often and we couldn’t afford the really trendy clothes. Now I have finally found my style and I don’t care if it’s in fashion or not. I like it and that’s all that matters to me. I hope you find that for yourself 😊

[@REnos811]

I've been having a bummer time recently, just kinda down in the dumps, and this video put the biggest smile on my face. The "and I also shed" made me laugh. Thank you so much for bringing joy to my Sunday morning

[@Mahahemingway]

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🤍

[@alex9190]

omg this is perfect timing. i just put a whole bunch of clothes on my bed to sort out last night. got tired and slept on the couch lol. going to work on this today

[@sydneybergeron4672]

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.

[@WonderKitty24]

You clearly love clothes and I think that’s wonderful! I would love to see you do a timed challenge (a week or a month) or not rewearing any pieces!

[@irenero8932]

Hi Alexa! In my opinion the right green color for you is the one of the square neck top. Much better than the one of the jumper.

[@LaceyMyriah]

I will happily snatch that Betsey Johnson dress and the iGirl dress!! Love the style & I can imagine some fun ways to wear it. I have increasingly grown to love your videos and your low key approach overall. Plus this has inspired me to pull out everything I’ve been meaning to get rid of and actually host a whatnot show.

[@paminaalicia8799]

It‘s so calming watching you 🤍 thank you Alexa

[@thesavingsorceress]

I love how you explained your process for deciding what to keep! Now that I’ve finally nailed down my own witchy style, I’m inspired to follow your lead & clear out my closet too ✨

[@emilyholland3000]

Pleeeeeaaassseeeeee get that gorgeous pink floral skirt altered to fit! It's so worth the money and it looks so pretty on you :)

[@ivania321]

love Renaissance green top :) my favorite too ! my y2k tip as a girl born in the 70s....we shopped the gap kids clearance section for baby tees :) so much better when thrifted

[@Cxrriemc]

I know you'll already know this but don't be afraid to go to a tailor! I kept telling myself I was gonna fix a pair of jeans and trousers as they both had rips and loved them dearly. BUT. I was terrified of ruining it forever so never did it and couldn't wear them for nearly a year, finally did it as the new year hit and I live in them both now. Literally 20 quid and I could wear them again and was worth every single penny!

[@casswashwash1070]

Just cleaned my wardrobe out. Most likely will clean more as I transition into some newer styles ive loved but never went for. Going for it!

[@kelseystone3]

This is most perfect timing ever, Alexa… because I need to go through all of my clothes and maybe this will help motivate me!

[@alexasunshine83]

🙌🏼 put some jams on and it’ll be so fun I promise !!

[@graceandreasen4725]

ahh would you consider putting that short purple floral dress on poshmark? I love it so much! Same with the grey babydoll dress with the black lace!

[@abbyclay1412]

Loved this video! It was a lot of fun, and loved how you showed your personality cracking jokes and getting excited over clothes. A couple of the pieces you got rid of made me so sad but I am happy to see you refining your closet!

[@laurak5174]

I just did a closet clean out, but before i donate the clothes I said goodbye to...I keep them off to the side for a week. If I don't go in the bags for a certain item, I know it's ok to donate them with no regrets.

[@JynxxTonsilHockey]

For the pieces that you need altered but are afraid you may ruin if you do it, take it to a tailor! You may feel more comfortable taking it to a professional if you're afraid of your personal sewing skills

[@hey_its_abs]

I’m so obsessed with your crewneck collection

[@TansiRenee]

Alexa if you ever want to pass on the northwest airlines sweater I call first dibs! 🤣 but actually I love it so much because it reminds me of my childhood flying alone as a minor back and forth from Canada to visit family in the USA on northwest airlines and all of the amazing flight attendants who took care of me ❤️ I have been lurking eBay to find a similar one for a long time now ever since I first saw you wear it in a video a while ago!

[@emilycline-gibson349]

Love that long denim dress! As a duster, I would try styling with dark wash (or black) jeans and the blue floral crop top. I usually like pairing longer jackets with either equally long skirts or just pants. It's easier to get proportions right that way 🌻

[@KathleenIllustrated]

gosh, i need to do this. thanks for the inspo, alexa! 💞

[@ericaburris4860]

I needed to hear "even if it's cute, I don't have to keep it"...I have several things in my closet right now that I'm going to purge based on that quote. Thank you :)

that fall cardigan has the vibe of a really fun front desk lady

Make an easy DIY denim matching set with that denim dress❗💙🌈🐬 it could be a cute a crop and denim skirt combo🙃

[@neta565]

This is one of your best videos! I loved it!😁

[@Bobelsey11]

I gasped at that white satin maxi dress. Obsessed.

[@Zahh1998]

I’ve seen other KZbinrs do videos where they style items in their wardrobe they like but don’t know how to wear & if they can’t make it work then it’s gone. I know Carrie did a video recently too recreating outfits from her own wardrobe to help find ways to style your wardrobe ❤

[@kiddayqueen]

i swear by the method of trying everything on. it takes sooo much energy (mental and physical) but it truly forces me to try in things i’ve never worn or haven’t worn yet and evaluate. i like to wear my fav top or bottom and/or style each piece slightly to get a good picture of if i’d wear it. i “declutter” all the time, but never as much as when o do this method. i only do it like twice a year, but wish i had the energy to do it more 🫶

[@oakcliffdwellers]

Love the pure authenticity of this vid lady. Paring down is 1) work and 2) sometimes the end result is underwhelming visually … but it feels so good to get done! Hope Aunt Flo has left the building for you by now lol

[@ashleyalderman6579]

I NEED THAT FALL LEAF CARDIGAN OMG

[@wellhello1603]

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.

[@aniilona]

[@courtneyryder1810]

I got wayyyy too excited when I saw your video pop up and it's a closet clean out 😂🤣 just went yes it's a closet clean out in my monster impression voice 😂🤣 I think I may have OCD or something, I just love closet clean outs, i love doing it myself, I always give my clothes away to my aunties, nan, and my nan even offered it to my aunts carer which makes me so happy. I dont ask for money or anything in return but my nan did offer me her rug which I've been looking for the perfect rug for years, I wanted a light green cottage looking rug and the one she gave me was exactly what i wanted. It's also vintage so soooo heavy and great quality. I'm obssessed.

[@safaakhann]

ur right about the broad shoulders!! i have naturally broad shoulder + a inverted triangle body shape so i know v necks work, but square necks def work on u way more !!

[@teresacarle294]

⏳️ 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)
