Recently did a wardrobe declutter and my tip would be as soon as you have a reasonable amount of definite 'no's'- take them to goodwill/charity shop. Return to your wardrobe a few days later and you will easily declutter all the 'maybes' ( as these will now have become definite 'no's') Items you love but were previously 'saving for best' you will have now given yourself permission to wear and your slightly less loved items can be your back-ups (if that makes sense) If you are faced with a huge amount of clothing to work through it is advisable to work through in stages - otherwise you will continue to put off the task- this is my experience anyway! Nothing is more rewarding than a clean, tidy closet with everything in its place ❤ Thank you for this video 😊❤

I've done mini declutters by category before. Like, instead of doing the entire closet, just do pants or tops. Instead of the whole dresser, just do socks. This helps to make the process more focused and feel less rushed or overwhelming. Or you can declutter by area but think smaller, like declutter your desk one drawer at a time, or declutter your kitchen one cabinet at a time. It may not feel like a huge accomplishment after a single session but it adds up over time to make a huge impact.

I think using multiple decluttering styles helps make sure the items you keep are the ones that have value to you. For me, when starting off I got rid of stuff I knew I didn’t want/need, as I kept doing waves it has flip flopped between that & choosing items I do want to find the ones I don’t. For my clothes I have done it by pulling them out one by one, tossing them all on the bed (both modularity by type & all at once, and done the backward hanger trick. Every method has benefits & I find value in them all, especially putting unsure items in a time-out bin & seeing if I go back for them.

I think the ‘modular’ approach works so well because it also helps to see how many of any one type of clothing I have. It also helps to be able to compare items ( in that category) against the others like it. As we know, we almost always just grab and wear our top 2-3 favourites in any category so any more is usually just not needed and therefore not worn. I think it is also very valuable to really look at mindfully the items that don’t get worn ( aren’t favourites) and really analyze WHY they don’t work the best. Is it the color, fabric, feel of material, the fit? Etc. This helps to prevent future errors in shopping reducing future clutter. I was surprised you were able to get rid of so many jeans, well done.

I do modular declutters too, for much the same reasons as you. I keep a big box by the front door for donations and add to it as I declutter. One thing you might want to try, for those items you love but don't wear for whatever reason, is to group them in an outfit so you can just grab it and go. If you cannot make an outfit you are excited about because you don't have the right pieces, it gives you information to make an informed decision. I also have started making monochrome outfits, if I have a red top, I make sure I have a red bottom, they go with each other but also my other clothes in neutral tones.

Thanks for this video. One thing I really appreciated was that you shared how long it took. If you had not told it that it was about an hour, I would have estimated much longer. That gives me hope that mine would not take that long either. My problem with my clothes is that I have a terrible misfit wardrobe. I do not have money to add right now and I really need new jeans. I am allowed to wear jeans at work and they get dirty quickly (I work with infants.) I have literally no dresses or skirts that fit me. I am in a weight loss journey so I am hanging onto three maxi dresses. Since I have limited storage in my two bedroom apartment, I don't really have a good place to put clothes that I am saving, so they pretty much stay in my closet. I have urged a lot of clothing, but I know I could get rid of more. I think my issue is that feeling of deprivation. That if I reduce my fairly limited wardrobe, I will feel "poorer" than I already feel. Does any of this make sense??? Thanks again for sharing....

Will I wear it next year (in the same season) And 4. Do I have some sort of attachment to this item for any reason. (This one, I don’t really count because I’m not an overly sentimental person). But these questions help me the most with decluttering and breaking it down into seasons helps it not feel so overwhelming, especially when you’re not thinking about your tank tops when it’s twenty degrees outside.

It’s been a challenge finding jeans that fit, especially once I became curvier, as a mom. I used to have a few pairs, including one pair that I took a pocket knife to, because I was always behind in style (wore lots of hand-me-downs from my sister,) so I put my own holes in that pair, because my mom wouldn’t buy me jeans with holes, lol. Last year my mom brought me 6 pairs of jeans, including a pair of capris, and a couple pairs of those jeans had holes. As fun as they looked, I didn’t like my foot going into the hole whenever I went to put them on, so I cut both pairs into shorts. Now I don’t feel like I have too many jeans, because I have all the pairs I love wearing, and 3 shorter ones for summer. :) It’s the most amount of jeans I think I’ve ever owned at a time, (I had 2 pairs before she brought me the 6 others,) but I’m happy with them. My husband is a minimalist with 4 pairs. I’d rather declutter everything else, lol. Also now that I have a sewing machine, I can alter all the waistlines on them. (They fit everywhere but there, like I said it’s hard to find a perfect fit, only one of the pairs I already had was a perfect fit.)

I love watching these wardrobe videos. Do you still hang your jeans like that? I find that it takes up a lot of your already limited space. I like to fold my jeans for my drawer and for my slacks I hang them up flat and they take up as much space as a shirt. It also makes the closet look nice, crisp and airy.

I really like the modular approach. I think it is a very practical approach. I would even do much smaller categories...like bathing suits/beach apparel. The one thing that will not work for me and quite honestly I don't understand is the "put it in a bin a decide later".... in my case if I put something in storage I will never open that box again. I see it as an extra step that is not really necessary in my opinion.

I SOOOOoooo need to do this thoroughly. I watched your video from 2 years ago and this one and it appears you got into long-sleeved blouses in the 2 years. I could be wrong. It is interesting to see the differences. Also, I loved your green bubble sweater from the video 2 years ago. Thank you for this inspiration.

I really needed to see this video right now - I’m feeling overwhelmed and can’t seem to get it all done! Maybe if I do a little bit today and some tomorrow it will all get done. Thank you for sharing.

Enjoyed this! You did a great job and it was a very manageable strategy and thoughtful way of decluttering 😎

I really needed this motivation, thank you so much. I wholeheartedly agree with the reasonings behind this declutter and feel the same way

after i’m off your videos i choose my signature earth tones. i have three brook brothers business dresses. I actually wore it recently to look of black tie or a fair and I thought it came in really handy but after I wore it, and I saw a picture of myself in it, I realized it was way too formal for a party and now as I’m watching your video, those are very quality. They make me look very well, but they are dark colored navy blue and black and, I think I want dresses that are more personality and I held onto them for like four years now because of I was going to a super professional job. I have a hard time letting them go because of the name in the quality and from recently, shopping quality is not easy to fine the quality of clothing that’s being made and sold these days has gone downhill tremendously, so I’m debating with myself right now

So real - thank you 🙏 I have no space between my clothing in my wardrobe - Makes me feel bad about myself 😫 De-cluttering here I come.
