I DECLUTTERED ALL MY CLOTHES | MASTER CLOSET PURGE | CLEAN WITH ME AND MINIMALISM

I want to give you a hug, Christine. You are so real! You have a full life and wardrobe. Love your vulnerability and honesty! 💕💕💕

[@dragoncantor]

Congratulations, Christine. The closet looks great, you have nothing you don't like and/or wear, and, most importantly, it looks like you'll be able to see everything you have. Hard work, but you did it! I already decluttered my clothes, but I kept waaaaay too much stuff that I really don't use, so it's time to go back and be more realistic. Thanks for the inspiration. BTW, my trick for knowing if I've worn something lately is to reverse the hanger. When most everything has been reversed, I put anything I haven't worn in the front of the closet, so I see it first; if I don't use that stuff during the rest of the season, I get rid of it.

Decluttering is such a boring chore, but it feels so much better doing it while your videos are running in the background. You are so adorable 🙂

[@midevolangel8220]

How I decluttered my closet. Shoved everything to one side of my closet and once I used it I put it on the other side. I could only use things I hadn’t worn until I cycled through everything. Gave me a good idea of what I didn’t reach for or just didn’t want to wear. I also let go of any shoes that hurt my feet and was finally able to let go of a few pairs that I love but that don’t offer any support. As for purses..I am working on it. I haven’t been able to let go a few that I don’t use reasoning that I’ll use them when we can go outside again.😅

[@absinthemindedcat]

one way i have been dealing with declutering my clothes while being unable to go out is planning outfits. so if its sunday plan what you would wear to church if you could go out. i have found planning these outfits even if i dont wear them has helped me see what i reach for and what i dont.

Hey! Just found you and I absolutely love your personality! I’m a frugal, OCD individual 🤣🤣 and I love watching videos like this! I have to admit, my whole total wardrobe, excluding pjs and under garments are less then you got rid of! I put my hangers with the hooky part facing out on the rod. Then with every item I wear I rehang it with the hooky part facing the wall. I then declutter every 3-4 months anything that wasn’t turned around. (Some specialty pieces excluded.)

[@LynneGirl26]

I just decluttered my closet and dresser yesterday. I filled 7 huge garbage bags - 1 trash, 5 donate and 1 bag of things that are too big that are going to a friend. We dropped off the donation bags around midnight. I needed it out of my house. 😜 I kept probably 2 trash bags worth of pandemic-uncertain clothes. I'm still working and am on camera every day but haven't worn good pants in a year, or suits or anything that requires drycleaning. It felt good to get dressed this morning, and see a row/drawer of things I like to pick from.

I like your thought process with the closet. I am a person who is overstimulated by too many choices with clothing. I went to a capsule wardrobe years ago and it has been such a relief. I may wear the same few items all season, but if I can’t be stylish, I’m at least minimal-ish. Lol!

I was watching a Jordan Paige video and i loved her idea. When you wear something and wash it, when you hang it up flip the hanger around so its opposite to the others. After 3, 6 or 12 months you can clearly see what you have worn and what you haven't. Thats where you start when you clean out your cupboard.

OMG I have been looking for years for a sleeve to cover my arm that hangs out the car window so I don't tan unevenly. Who knew cyclists had my solution all along. May I suggest that you keep all the white hangers and give Dave all the colored hangers. And when you buy storage containers or laundry baskets immediately take off the stickers. It is too hard to take them off later. Too OCD? You have really good taste and buy quality so when you have to part with a beloved item, put it on and take a picture for the memory of it instead. Seeing all your clothes is like seeing another facet of your personality. So fun!

For shoes that you love but think you can't wear because they are rubbing at certain places (heels, toes etc.), you can try Compeed Anti-Blister Stick.

Decluttering your clothes gets addictive. I was so hesitant when I first started, and now I look forward to it, and feel so much happier with what I wear and am way more careful with what I buy. I feel you on the jackets. I decluttered so I had space for a blue coat, a a brown coat a grey coat and a black coat. Do I need them no? Do they spark joy... ummm I may or may not pat them every now and again for just existing in my closet

I love clothes too, and my lifestyle takes in new activities seemingly every few months, which require some of the clothes that more drastic declutterers would have purged. Of all the folks in this decluttering theme your closet reminds me most of my own. :) I've been bringing home stackable produce boxes from the food pantry that I use as organizers for my temporary dressers. They have cut-away fronts so I can get clothes out without unstacking the boxes.

I live in rural prairies in Canada and, strangely, the pandemic didn't change my work at all. Still had to dress professional. Still had to commute to the office everyday. Just had to keep the office locked to the public 🤷. So I didn't change my wardrobe style at all. I did have to change the clothing pieces though as I lost A LOT of weight through 2020 (total loss in 16 months = 56 lbs). I have been a minimalist for quite a few years and own 40 clothing pieces. Husband & I share a 4' closet, so I have 2' to organize my stuff in. Got to keep it simple!! Purses, I only own 1, so I can't really help you there....

Instead of donating, have you thought of a clothing exchange with girl friends? We used to do them YEARS ago. One person hosts. Every lady gets a room in the house to lay out their items. To save on costs overall for the "event" to feed everyone, everyone brings a vegetable or fruit item to add to salad. Literally like one tomato. Or one cucumber, etc. Or one apple. Great way to clean out your fridge, too. The Host supplies lettuce and dressings. Was sooo much fun!!!! Its a luncheon with the ladies AND clothing that you've envied in your friends' closets end up in yours. Then whatever is unclaimed get donated to a women's shelter. Was fun to see older styles that we all wore get seen by each other again, too. Dont forget to bring accessories like belts, purses, junk jewelry and clean.out those areas in your closets, too. Fond memories I have of those clothing exchanges. We did one every 6 months for a few years.

[@jillygirl2024]

Keeping some items for " after pandemic" activities is a great idea. No need to entirely toss /donate items we will use later. My example is : I work for Temporary Staffing Agencies doing a variety of jobs. So, I still keep my casual dresses and more dressy clothing for those reasons although no, I haven't used them in a year. I had been working prior to COVID for two years as a substitute preschool teacher and jeans were my wardrobe. So, common sense leads us to downsize using our individual criteria. Good video
