I agree, I ignore that rule about decluttering things that I haven't used for 6 mos. I kept my dress from 1997 when I was in college, I used it on my ring hop and graduation ceremonies. My eldest niece used it on her JS prom back in 2005, and my youngest niece niece just used it on her college graduation last July 30. Yep, I am keeping quality clothes for future generations. These same nieces are now wearing my 20 years old Levi's jeans that are still in pristine condition. Thank you, love your video.❤

Thank you for presenting this from an energetic perspective. I'm a closet decluttering stylist and throughout all my training and reading no one has suggested "Visualize what your perfect collection would look like." I've worked from "how do you want to feel" but so many people are visual that thinking about how do you want things to look? is a great prompt.
