alright.. here’s part two to my decluttering my closet series where I try to get rid of 50 more items on top of the 101 items that I’ve already decluttered! This was even harder but much needed!

I always advocate for a "breakup" day for clothes that you're unsure about donating! I'm on the fence about a shirt, wear it for a few hours, and I'm always reminded as to why I don't like to wear it. It makes it so much easier to say goodbye!

Replacing items with ones that you love and will wear a lot sounds good, especially when you're already getting rid of ones that you don't wear and don't love.

Have you tried folding and storing t shirts vertically in the drawer? Marie Kondo advocates this. It is much easier to see all shirts at a glance. I do it with my scarves, too.

It's ok to keep sentimental things. I go thru my clothes at the end of every season. Everytime I think I need to go shopping for something I end up cleaning or gardening. By the end of the day I realise I don't actually need it after all. Every penny I save goes towards my bills or mortgage 😊
@thatswhatisaid8908Ай бұрын
What helped make me was reverse decluttering. Instead of looking for what I could get rid of, i looked for what I really wanted to keep. If it was a maybe, I tried it on. If I still wasn't sure, i put it aside in a "quarantine bin" to be decided about in 6 months.

Congrats on being able to let go of more, that is always so hard! For me I started a new habit years ago, which helped me reduce my closet even more and really start loving and appreciating every item. I try to maintain all my clothes and give them maintenance runs when they really need them. I.e. I have a razor for pilling, a small sowing set (I have no talent in sowing what so ever but it works for me) and some shoe care items. Also every time I buy a new item I add altering costs (if needed) to the price in my head so the item will fit me perfectly (especially jeans, I know get so many complements when wearing them). I am also close to 30 and found that I am tired of being overwhelmed and just buying things because they are trend. Which makes it difficult to find myself The task of caring for my wardrobe makes me love my clothes even more and lets me appreciate them in a new way. I also buy less new clothes because I am still so in love with the ones I have. And now there are no more surprises when I dig deep into my closet. I know every item inside out. Welp, sorry for the long essay... You are doing amazing! Keep at it!

Keep going, girl! I did a really radical wardrobe declutter a while back, and although I sometimes miss a few items that I got rid of, I do not regret paring down. Now I have so much clarity when it comes to what I have an what I need. I never run out of clothes to wear, and I never have piles of laundry to get through (since I wear it all, and I want to get it back into my wardrobe). You’re doing yourself a huge favour with this project!

I don’t have that many items. But if lucky, i try and re-sell my unwanted stuff or things that don’t fit me anymore ie jeans, and then once i sell them, i replace them with postmark used items that actually fit me or better styles that i like. GL…. Seems like you’re having a hard time letting go of things. I’m always more than happy to part way with stuff I don’t wear or like anymore. Feels good to see it leave my space.

@CourtneyG10155 ай бұрын
What a huge accomplishment after your recent clothing overhaul video where you decluttered so much! One trick that may help you, helped me a few years ago. Try turning your hangers around so they hang opposite to how you have them now. As you wear the item and hang it back up, turn the hanger the normal way. If after 6mths or even a year, if they are still turned that way you can visually see what you have not worn in awhile which may help you during your next huge declutter project.

It isn't always easy letting go of clothing; but you did a great job and reached your goal. (And finding out you decluttered 150 items over the last couple months is motivating me to declutter even more) I recently decluttered a large trash bag full of clothing for donation; and I'm working on gathering items to be taken to a consignment shop. I'm slowly decluttering a little at a time. Thank you for sharing this with us! I'm so glad I just happened to come across your video today, and have now decided to subscribe! 😊

Hey there, somebody probably already mentioned this, but it can be helpful to group items by colour/style. For example, all striped shirts or all black shoes. It makes it easier to find the best one(s) and to get rid of the ones that aren't as flattering or that you enjoy as much.

I am so happy that you didn’t let anybody talk you into getting rid of those three dresses. Honestly, i feel like decluttering is all about finding Your Own Voice and strengthening you decision making abilities. I have been on my decluttering journey for over a decade and it is absolutely fascinating to me what every new pass through my items brings up in terms of emotions, lessons, and a clearer vision of what i want and what works for me and makes me feel good. I think it is one of the most liberating things you can do for yourself. But always in your own time and way 💗💗💗 BTW, you think after ten plus years i’d have nothing left to declutter, but ofcourse new things come into my house (i bring them in or others gift them). I have also become a lot more intentional on what i bring into my house and started a list of in/out in 2024. So motivating. Thanks for sharing again! And ps: i am currently working on my sentimental papers and my seed collection 😄

Making great progress! You might find it helpful to a) do the hanger trick where you spin the hangers the wrong way and spin them back when you wear them - helps to see what you actually wear and b) set yourself a number limit for each category and pick your favourites to fill the category, for example I have 5 jumpers an I don’t allow myself more than that. Less definitely is more for me. My wardrobe sits at around 52 total and that is perfect for me. Good luck!

I like your video, well I like most videos with decluttering, though I am not a minimalist. If I may, I would like to suggest two books that you might find interesting. The first is of course 'The life changing magic og tidying up', and the second is 'The curated Closet' by Anuschka Rees. I used these when I got tired of having nothing to wear although having a booming closet. I still use the tricks I learned to avoid bad purchases (they still happen but far less than they used to), and instead by clothes I will care for and love, and also makes me feel good.

You could probably get rid of more if you were to wear your sentimental shirts/ concert shirts to bed. No point in having a bin of clothes you save" just because" . You had more PJ bottoms than tops., so try matching them up and get rid of the rest. Also, don't keep stuff anything that you wouldn't wear out of the house. Congratulations on a great job!!
