My favorite question to ask before I buy is “can I name three occasions to wear this?” It has kept me from buying. I go through my closet every season and try on to see how I feel about the items.

Almost 5 years ago, I remember looking around my home and seeing piles of clutter everywhere. I decided that it was ridiculous that 3 people were running out of room in a 1000sqft house. I decided it was time to reclaim my home. I found so much more in the process. I am truly excited for you on this journey. I know that it a hard one. It is so worth it in the end. I will be praying for and cheering you on!

This is my first time watching you, but I know the pain and shame of a shopping addiction. Throwing out all of the things I'd bought, thinking each was THE ONE that would make me feel better was so hard. But with each item, it felt like another stone lifted off my chest. I still autopilot to online stores when I'm feeling some kind of way, but it gets better. I'm proud of you for being vulnerable and admitting shopping may have been your drug, and I'm so proud of you for taking the steps to overcome it. All my love. 💜

I’m trying to find ways of decluttering after 3 months of therapy because I realized I was shopping compulsively and I wanted to change that and It means so much for you to start the video the way that you did because I haven’t seen a lot of people really talk about this. My shopping for clothing specifically comes from neglect, abuse, and trauma growing up, but I’m a simple person and I’ve become overwhelmed by the abundance of clutter to the point where it feels like I’m being suffocated because I feel guilty and confronted by my pain every time I look around and see things I bought compulsively because I was hurting. I’m just now getting help and I realized I got caught up in instant gratification, and doing the thing that wasn’t illegal or hurting other people, trying to fill a void that couldn’t be filled with things. I’ve been struggling so much to declutter and it’s so refreshing to see someone approach this from the way you are. It makes me feel less alone, thank you for being honest!

Best of luck on your decluttering journey! I started a whole life declutter in 2017. I got rid of most of my clothing (don't even have a dresser). I also got rid of all my jewelry and almost all my makeup in 2018. In 2019 I got rid of my hair and all my accessories/tools/products. I can now fit all my clothing, shoes, accessories, skincare, hygiene & makeup into 2 suitcases. It feels awesome!!

What I really notice that when one space is “done” it is so much easier to do a little putter that takes only a minute to keep it up. There is so much space and it feels nice to have some clarity in what we see on a daily basis. Its such a relief. It’s worth the effort and mentally heading in the right direction for personal wellness. Proud of you Angela.

I love a good declutter, that was an amazing amount of progress!! I love the idea of giving the skirts a second chance. I think its important not to make too many tough decision the first time decluttering, maybe a decision you will regret. You will find going through your wardrobe a second time when you're ready, these decisions come much easier! To anyone struggling to get started, just do it and dont make it to hard on yourself! You will build up your 'muscles' to declutter the more you do it, and it will be easier to make decisions to part with things. Don't put yourself through stress and decision fatigue, just get started and make some progress little by little!

One thing I've done for slow, low-key sorting is to turn all my hangers backwards and revisit the situation in 6+ months. As clothes get washed and put back the hanger is flipped the normal way so months later I can see that I didn't wear the ones that are still backwards and I can ask myself "Do I really want to keep this if I haven't worn it yet? Really really?" and it feels much more low stakes to me. How many hours did the decluttering in this video take? That was a lot of work! Your closet looks gorgeous now!

I had to remind myself, the memories are in the heart, always with me. It feels good having my environment clean & tidy. I am so glad you talked about the emotional ties (good & bad) to stuff. Thank you for showing me I am not alone.

When you said "Maybe you buy for other people" that really struck hard. I think I hide behind giving things as an expression of love for people in my life instead of showing my feelings and expressing them. This is how I grew up and it's a hard one to stop but now that it's identified, I think I can be conscious of it. I've started two week ago de cluttering massively, yet again, and this time I am determined. It's daunting and exhausting but feels so good to see an empty space. I'm loving empty spaces! Really appreciate your video. This is the first one I've watched.

I appreciate the honesty. I started watching another declutter video and the person had so many clothes I couldn't even finish it because it made me feel suffocated, overwhelmed, and sad for her. My grandmother, now passed, gave me the shopping intervention I so desperately needed because I was sad, lonely, etc. and shopping was my outlet. I will forever be grateful for her continued accountability in my head. My secret is that when I think I'm ready to check out I actually go back through the store and I put at least 50-75% of it back exactly where I found it. The motion of this forces me to reconsider each item and do an act of kindness for the store clerks by putting it back where I found it, which gives me more joy the happy endorphins that buying the item would if that makes sense.

I recently went bra shopping, got resized and bought 9 new bras. When I got home, I tried them all on and admired my new uplifting look in the mirror. I finished, then began stuffing them all into my bra drawer. They wouldn't fit. 😑 "Why?" I asked myself. Hm? 🤔 Could it be that I needed to get rid of at least 9 of the old, useless ones still crammed at the bottom? And that's when my decluttering journey began. So, I created a project list of what I want to purge in my wardrobe, what areas I want to improve on regarding my personal style and what, ultimately, is the end goal. So here I am watching videos, getting insights and ideas on how to commit and make this journey not only fun but lasting for a lifetime. Thank you for opening your life for others that weren't sure where to start. At the beginning. Best of luck. 🙂

You did amazing I love it. I’ve been practicing minimalism for the past two years and it all started with the same epiphany as you. I decluttered my entire life, and I started with my closet of clothes. I had a spending addiction due to filling voids. And like you said at the end, I went ham! After I cleaned out my closet. Can you believe my fiancé and I are moving into a studio in June?? A STUDIO. I’m so flipping excited. I can’t believe I’ve gotten rid of that many clothes, decorative pieces, furniture, and JUNK. It feels so good. It’s helped so much with my anxiety as well. So proud of you and happy for you ❤️. Great vid, mama

My mother passed away suddenly from pancreatic cancer in 2012. We used to love shopping together but it was more about spending the day together than buying stuff. It was our "time to talk". I went on a an absolute bender when she died. It was like trying to fill the void. I bought things I never ever wore and then gave them away. I had major credit card debt. I used to spend $10 on mascara but started buying $70 mascara. Nothing replaced my mum but I kept trying.I actually started working in retail in one of the shops we used to visit together. When I realised that the warm fuzzies given by shop assistants is mostly an act to get you to buy more stuff it helped cure my addiction. I gave nearly $4000 worth of clothes to an op shop and sold some in a garage sale. A dress I paid $130 for sold for $2. It was a huge wake up call. I now volunteer as the visual merchandiser in an op shop and I see the huge amounts of clothes come in that have never been worn. I also throw out a lot of donated junk. Ripped and stained clothes go straight to landfill anyway. You will feel much better now and you may slip up every now and then but as long as you are aware of the reasons you shopped then eventually you will control it instead of it controlling you

That clothea rack in your bedroom i would use in tge laundry room if you have room to hang special clothes that you want to hanh dry or not wrinkle up or in an entry where all the kids come in from playing to hand their jackets. I have hanging racks in my laundry room to hang dry some of my clothes it is so nice. Then i take them up after I'm done and put them away. Great job, you had a lot to go through.

Hardly any, when I really think about it. Less. This is my goal. Less. Your getting there, girl. We're all getting there. Just don't stop. Don't give up. I'm proud of you.

these are the best - you get everything out and see what you have and makes downsizing more satisfying that just going through the hangers and taking the odd thing out your closet . you make better progress totally emptying your closet

OMG, the intro to your video is so me right now! I am determined to declutter and am actually in the processing of doing so at this very moment. I love watching these kind of videos to help push me through. Thank you for sharing your process!

I've used the backward hanger method and that works very well for me. Something I heard last week was "first look at the stuff that is still in the closet because the things on the bed, counter, hamper etc is the stuff you've actually worn"... never thought of it that way but it's so true!!

I did this a few years ago - and even decluttered the mending basket - where I found a dress for my daughter when she was 6 - she is in her 50's now - and needless to say, it was decluttered right straight to Catholic Charities. Also decluttered my towering ironing basket - then actually ironed the 4 shirts left after decluttering. Since then - I check and do a VERY mild decluttering twice a year - spring and fall - and winnowed stuff even more. Now the only things that live in my closet are things I REALLY REALLY like - and a few dust bunnies. I've also decluttered my Jewelry - but am less successful there - mostly because I inherited a lot of jewelry - and I don't wear it - but consider it as something I am holding onto for MY grandkids - IF they want it.

Im only 2 mins into your vid but when you said "or maybe you buy things for other people to cover up pain," that HIT different! I DEF do that. Shoot, I'm doing the same thing (prepping for a move overseas) and I gave away SO much stuff to my Soldiers. and immediately realized it was just due to pain...I'm definitely saddened, but thank you for showing this and sharing this.

I LOVE THIS!!!!! I declutter my wardrobe every 6 months...if I don't like the piece anymore, don't feel good in it or I haven't used it in that time frame then that piece of clothing is gone from my life.

I like your honesty about filling a void, for me it is craft items and holiday decor even if I can’t afford it. We share a lot of the same color pallet in clothes.

I loved this video and I am now a fan. I just started decluttering my bedroom and closet and I now I feel like decluttering my entire home. It feels so good. I have such a organized closet. I did the clothing in my drawers the same exact way. My biggest issue was clothes as well. Also my papers or insane as well. Ive been shredding for days. And this is so perfect since I am not working as much with the whole covid issue. Ok headed over to your other videos now.

Don't know if you've ever heard/seen but maybe do the backwards hanger trick? Turn your hangers backwards & fine yourself like 6 months or so & it will show you what you actually do & don't wear. I love doing this! Thank you for sharing!

Was just talking to my daughter this morning about decluttering clothes. We leave the house twice a week (Sundays for church and Thursdays for chiropractor appt, sewing lessons, piano lessons and grocery hail). I really don't need that many clothes. I tend to wear the same things at home. Just need a few church outfits, a couple leaving the house outfits and a few staying at home and homeschooling outfits. Going to nurse my baby and then head to my bedroom and go through my clothes!!!
