i got rid of 50% of my clothes ... Decluttering & Re-organzing My Entire Closet // Ep 01

[@LoeppkysLife]

Waiiiiiiiit why hasn't anyone said anything about the clip of me taking a thumbnail playing overtop of *what was supposed to be* bloopers in the beginning??? HAHHAHA how did that even happen? Goodness. I'm not even going to fix it. It's too late now 🙈🥴

[@emison6554]

it's perfect xD

[@jordanfairbourne6067]

I honestly thought you were being creative 😂

[@darkskyes5339]

It adds to the funny! I thought it was intentional 🤣

[@hannahbentson9374]

I honestly thought you were trying something new 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@molly_frances]

It's honestly so cute. It works perfectly.

[@daniellemaranto8735]

When Zach came in and didnt want to go through his clothes and also didn't want to get rid of anything 😂😂 LITERALLY my husband every time omg I was cracking up!

[@sarahmcw]

Same!

[@momlifeislife1508]

😅 I will secretly declutter the things. I have seen untouched for months because my husband is a hoarder of clothes.

[@ginayoder9662]

I tried that once 👆it did not end well for me😅 my husband still talks about that ONE shirt that I got rid of three years ago😅

[@leisaann]

Mine too!

[@kaitlincrane_]

Husbands are the OG sustainable source 😂😂 (my husband is exactly the same…one of his shirts is 7 years old haha)

[@nyxcole]

I know this is a decluttering vid but I actually have a suggestion for clothes that once had been your most favorite. Only your most favorites, the ones that you absolutely have a hard time getting rid of. Put it in a box or a chest and save it for your children when they grow up. Becareful of not making it hoarding though. I really love wearing clothes that once had been my mother's or grandmother's that just was passed to my mother. It's also interesting because you realize that trends do comeback. So now, I don't only have original and high quality vintage clothes, but I also have an inheritance for my future babies. It's actually cool that some of the clothes I have lasted for three generations. My grandmother and mother are really great at taking care of their clothes.

[@katicaj11]

In the future I would love to see which clothes you kept and which you decluttered piece by piece. It is even more satisfying to see the declutter pile grow when you know what is in it ☺

[@jacquihart8791]

I work in a fashion retail and highly suggest folding all of your knitwear! Or purchasing knitwear specific hangers. Knits can be so heavy and you might notice they will pull at the shoulders and become out of shape. You could also add rubber strips to your hangers to avoid them slipping and pulling. Love this new series. I’m all for decluttering our house and minds

[@Bekig5953]

I was thinking the same thing when she said that she hung them!

[@hannahr9712]

Oh my goodness, when you were talking about recognizing how much stress all the stuff is causing you and your husband... I feel that. My husband and I have been decluttering like crazy and it feels so good! We're expecting our firstborn due in a matter of days now, and her impending arrival has given us the kick in the pants we needed to get our home in order. Thank you for being so real and genuine, and providing declutter motivation. :) I always look forward to watching your videos!

[@braria9855]

Yes this! When anyone asks me what to get for an upcoming baby, I say that the most important is space, hahah :D Congrats and good luck btw!!

[@emilyanschuetz8409]

Yay! I have been waiting for another Delilah declutter and you surprised me with a whole house declutter! Minimalist over here who just loves me new declutter videos :)

[@llamaspitstudios8302]

Love this! After moving twice recently, I keep finding items to declutter, and it feels amazing to let go of excess. Stuff is stressful! I'm so sick of dealing with the extra stress and guilt. Thanks for inspiration to keep going!

[@kaitlincrane_]

Delilah your WARDROBE!! It still gives me so much life- when you first got it my jaw DROPPED ❤️❤️

[@danielle.c]

Loved the video Delilah! I would've enjoyed seeing some of the pieces you got rid of and why, it's always fun to see the reason behind it. Thanks for the wardrobe declutter inspo!

[@forshelovedearth6116]

This came at the perfect time! We have been moving a lot for my husband’s job. After over 12 moves in the last 4 years we finally get to be in one place for an entire year! With that we finally have all our belonging in one place as well. I’ve been doing a lot of decluttering! I want to enjoy more time enjoying my day instead of constantly feeling like there is something to clean or put away!

[@taylorg9562]

Never been this early! Kids are down for quiet time so it’s the perfect time to watch some Delilah and get inspired to deep clean my home as well. 💛

[@stopbeingana-hole4151]

I LOVE decluttering, cleaning, and organizing. It seems like it’s the only thing that calms me these days.

[@zainabalradhi5640]

I’m so curious to see a video where you share more about the keep sake boxes. Can you give examples of what you keep? This is a wonderful idea!!

[@uberbubble]

You said you were excited and empowered by the curtains and wanted to learn how to/get better at sewing. Altering your clothes or any almost-perfect thrift finds would be a great way to hone that skill and get your dream wardrobe. Don't start with that gorgeous skirt though, the fabric is not forgiving for beginners. It would be a great goal to set for yourself as you learn; The Skill Skirt. It would be another fun series also as I'm sure your comments section is full of support and wisdom to help you on your journey to being able to make anything!

[@justelaurena]

I started this process yesterday. It feels so good to get rid of stuff that don"t bring joy or I never use.

[@Susieque963]

LOVED this!! So excited for this series 😊 Would you ever do a minimalist wardrobe? Where you show us everything you have and explain how you keep it minimal and how you shop/stay intentional?

[@sajronimakaroni8483]

I love being a minimalist. And i feel sto good and free when decluter

[@davielawrence3773]

What an amazing series! I felt like I was unintenionally waiting for this 😍 I noticed when you were moving the small dresser your floor might get scratches from it. I highly recommend putting some felt pads underneath. They beware your floor from getting scratched and make moving furniture so much easier! 😊

[@courtneybauman4816]

So looking forward to this series. I love the inspiration I get from your decluttering videos 🖤

[@ann8786]

I’m motivated to declutter my closet now. Thank you for the video!

[@tracyw2]

i dont watch many vlogs anymore due to a busy lifestyle but can I just say there is something about your videos, whether it be the editing style, or the background music, or your soothing voice, and content that I can seriously just binge. I love you so much delilah!

[@mikafy9628]

Delilah, it was a pleasure accompanying you in your declutter. I really like your sense of aesthetics - from the style of dress to the home decor.

[@hannahcrisp4202]

Now you’ve mentioned it I can’t stop laughing when I watch you holding your laundry 😂😂😂 SO FUNNY!!

[@ExpressionBunny]

Ok so 15 seconds into the declutter / consumption moderation philosophy intro I gave this a thumbs up. I have felt the same for ages and am excited to jump on board with this goal idea.

[@lifethroughhereyes3958]

Oh yes! I’m all in with you! Just started with some kitchen cabinets this week, and our guest room… It’s a bit overwhelming every now and then, but it is so worth it for a functional and breathable space for family life! Please make it a series with a specific ‘name’ (like Natalie Bennett did/does messy to minimal) ❤thanks for being an encouragement!

[@jamicrummett9687]

The txt me on telegram has been a scam all over youtube. Be careful!

[@myleneisng]

Thank you so much for the effort you're putting into these videos: I really enjoy watching them. I wasn't expecting one today (I might just not be aware of the days you're posting on?), but I'm all the happier x

[@chouasandyyang7409]

Omg! My husband does the same thing! Lol He tends to keep empty boxes of electronics we purchased, just in case we need it! Inspired me to clean out our closet too!

[@Honeybeemeadow618]

I’m so excited for this series!!

[@CarolineEDoner]

Great idea with having a place for an easy-to-get-to spot for keepsakes (or possible keepsakes) to be put away right away. We cannot usually get them organized right away and put into their 'official'/'final' bins. I have done a similar thing recently and I like your idea of the drawers, making it an EVEN easier and smarter choice than my current storage solution in my closet for the same thing. Great idea! Also, I was able to declutter a couple items this morning. Whoot whoot. Not much, but more than I would have if you hadn't inspired me. It makes a difference. It would be cool to know collectively, how many items were decluttered due to your inspiring video today. Lol. We will never know but you inspired many today. Thanks for sharing sister.

[@sallycroft2191]

Thank you for the motivation for decluttering. Looking forward to more in this series.

[@Spikeswift]

I really enjoy watching a very thorough declutter, it's so satisfying. I have just completed my full house declutter ready for the holiday season. It feels so good. Thank you for this series Delilah, I'll look forward to more of the same. Happy holidays from the UK x

[@kaylee9773]

Happy Birthday Delilah! Hope you had a wonderful day with your family!

[@Jessie90ish]

Very excited for this series. Most of the content I watch is related to minimalism/essentialism/simple living. I love everything about your lifestyle so this is the cherry on top for me!

[@alexispierce8386]

You’ve totally inspired me to do this with my family’s clothes this weekend 😃👏🏼

[@keirstyn99c]

Woohoo!! So excited for a decluttering series

I needed this video - I was just going to search for something like this. My body is changing and I need to sort my clothes and pack something fitting for tomorrow's business trip. Thank you!

[@lauraskeet9302]

Would love it if you do a whole wardrobe tour 😌

[@ryleevavra8619]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! I think I’ll do this along with you! Starting with the closet! So keep going haha

[@magdaj5157]

I’ve recently decluttered all my stuff and got rid of like 4 bags :) loving the space 🥰

[@catherineiversen9459]

Lol Zach "it's not stupid if it works" 😆

[@allycealexandra]

Hi Delilah!! Thank you for a video 🤍🤍 so excited to watch on this gloomy day here in Nevada!! Much love!

[@danabrown2391]

Delilah, your closet is great! I have one suggestion as a Minimalist who has kept very few sentimental items, Don't hang on to ALL the subscriber letters sent to you! You will drown in them before long! Just keep a few extra special ones and discard the rest!

[@jordanfairbourne6067]

When Zach said literal garbage was important 😂 nothing has embodied my husband more lol

[@Hhrutz]

Soooo excited about this series!!!!

[@kaitlincrane_]

Delilah I would look into the Color Me Beautiful Color Seasons if you are looking into making a capsule wardrobe! It was so helpful for me to figure out what colors look good on me. You seem to have that down pat- but it was a great resource for me! 😊❤️ Take it if you will haha!

[@tamiurquizo746]

I'm so happy to hear this. I started watching your channel because of your minilism content. I'm looking forward to the winter videos.

[@heatherkc]

Absolutely love the vibes of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@sarahb9136]

I am so excited for this series.

[@elvenaubade]

so excited for this series 🙌🏼 i’ll soon be moving for my last year of medical school and i have to declutter pretty much my whole house too before going. now we can do it side by side 💪🏼

[@scarletth427]

This was very inspiring! And such a satisfying transformation! ✨ another video idea that would be great would be talking about your style / style changes, I’ve seen it recently on your Instagram (I think?) where you touched on it briefly of style change and getting new bits and I think a video about going into detail about that and where you found the new clothes could be really helpful ☺️

[@bellaroddy2171]

love your declutter videos, doesn’t normally help me lol but you did inspire me to order more Arq undies so thank u for that much love! MWAH! 💓

[@Sara.Aspenvik]

Yeeeees! I love decluttering and organisation videos!

[@jackyryan8]

Im moving house in four weeks...this is such great motivation! Thank you!

[@lindseyamar5625]

This video was exactly the motivation I needed to start my yearly organization!(that I was supposed to do in October😂)Thanks Delilah!

[@hannahbentson9374]

love these kind of videos. Declutter things is the best feeling! 🙌🏼

[@juliaforner1980]

It‘s crazy how your videos calm me down after a stressful day!😅 only youtuber i‘m watching haha. Greetings from Germany!

[@Sofia.sparkls]

Love every video you make 🌿 the beginning 😆😆 soo creative

[@reneeroxanna]

A lot of your clothing is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this video it was motivating I cleaned my closet today also.

[@teruldacz]

It would be amazing if Delilah made a video about starting, maintaining etc a garden. I'm planning on starting my own next year so some advice but be great. ❤️

[@brigittamrs3805]

Nice, organised decluttering. Well done!

[@heatherdewolff8045]

I love this video. I used it as a subliminal message. I played it while my husband and I were sitting on the couch together… he got up and disappeared for over two hours accompanied by racket. I investigated to find our closet and bedroom almost completely clean. 😊that could be a new video series.. “videos to get your husbands help around the house”. 😂

[@imlexidolan]

Super excited for the decluttering series!

[@jahsoka8307]

I hope this is a full on series this winter😄 I could use some inspiration. My family of 3 (currently) is living in an apartment but still it's hard to keep up on organizing.

[@reneeroxanna]

That skirt is so pretty 😍

[@avarachel]

Aaaaa I’m so excited for these series!!!

[@annafcates]

Love that you sound so much like Sarah when explaining why you're declutering. Also I just declutered my cloths and FINALLY let go of cloths that I've still had from my teens!

[@Syl_Lac0898]

De cluttering is the best! When I get that urge, I’m like a tornado and start purging like my life depends on it 😂. When it’s done though? Oh, that deeeep sense of satisfaction and overall lightness is such a wonderful feeling. I’m really going to like this series. This is right up my alley and yes, it does motivate me to tackle areas of my home as well 😁. I’m thinking I need to go through my closet as well… 🤔

[@f.harteveld1093]

"It's not stupid if it works." I need that on a shirt😂

[@marynicolezen]

Lol the intro 🤣 Excited for this new series!!! I'll be sitting here waiting for every new episode hehe

[@annieb8380]

Favorite kind of video!

[@reillycampbell167]

Can’t wait for this series!

[@viviangautier2160]

Ujuuuuu decluttering series! ❤ love it! I need no learn a lot! I declutter little by little. I need to be as determined as you are! Thank you for motivate me! Let see if I can declutter that much in one day. 😊 I start but then I do not want to take things out! 😮

[@angieserdar]

So satisfying thanks for a great video ❤

[@Jadie199five]

Love this I had planned this morning to start this next week!

[@louisebourne5779]

Hi Delilah I really enjoyed this video and looking forward to more of these decluttering videos. This has inspired me to do the same in my house 🏡 I am now going to tackle a room at a time. Thankyou for this inspiring video. ❤

[@jesseferguson3205]

Yes👏🏻👏🏻 more of these

[@karoosten232]

Perfect timing. I seem to be drowning in the constant pickup too.

[@jennabriere7347]

Great job! Your closet looks beautiful!!

[@lynelgrobbelaar4917]

Loooooove your declutter videos ❤ watching from France 🇫🇷

[@ann-ma2183]

Heyyyyy ! I think you forgot to link your pyjamas set ! ☺

[@colette2838]

I loveeee this series!!! Happy belated Birthday, Delilah

[@arieller2483]

Keep a postpartum box!! Just like maternity clothes, postpartum is a specific and important time that often means different clothes, both that make you feel good, and work for nursing and getting stained with extra baby spitup and such.

[@silverapplepiebyiris]

i looooove these videos! can’t wait for more!!

[@madimeyer2314]

I am currently going through my house too… putting off my room and closet for last ! 😂 not looking forward to it. But this has inspired me!

[@godlovesyou4698]

I am so excited 🤗

[@bleeblooblah88]

Love this!!! Suggestion..could those letters be sent in somewhere and created into a book? Just have to say how much I love your channel. As a first time mama I appreciate all the real everyday feels. 🤍

[@yap4808]

Yeess Girl, I was waiting for this😅

[@Alicias]

Everytime you mention the boxes on top of your closet, i remember the last decluttering video where you organize them after saying the same thing 😂

[@91leonetammie]

Yesyesyesyes!! I love these type of videos! Also the messy too minimal of @nataliebennett ! I'm super excited for your decluttering series!

[@shantellelee7684]

Nursing neck I call it! My neck is often sore too.

[@patriciafelix2243]

Hi I wanted to know where you purchased your white T-shirt. Thank you.

[@amvien]

Loved it!

[@GenerationX3333]

Love you Delilah

[@averizakes9800]

LOVE these kind of cleaning and organizing videos! Totally going to do this after we finish renovating our house! Random question: where is your rug from in your bedroom?

[@misslyntheena]

I love the colours you wear and put into your home xx if I could I’d buy all the clothes you’ve decluttered but I know they wouldn’t fit and I have no money haha 😂

[@vidra1177]

If the Skirt is too big on you and are unsure on how to sew it to fit you, I might have solution. I do this when a lot when I thrift vintage skirts or pants where I want to preserve their originality. (and I also don't always trust my skills in altering clothes.) The Idea would be this: Put on the Skirt/Pants, (zip it up if it has a zipper) and kind of pinch with your fingers how much fabric would be "too much" on one side. Make sure you have some wiggle room to feel comfy. Pin it with a safety pin to kind of mark it and take the skirt/pants off. Then measure the part where the skirt was too big divide it by two and fold it inwards on both sides, safety pin carefully. For Pants: There are also elastics which you can sew into pants with a button. The Elastic has many buttonholes so you can adjust how much the fabric will be cinched in. (I am not sure how well this might work on the silky skirt you showed, but you said you love it so maybe it is worth a shot?) If the pins feel uncomfy, you can just handsew it with a few stiches. I also do that sometimes and it usually survives hand- and machine washing. I am not really the person to write a comment, but I love your videos and I hope this could be helpful in a way. My nana taught me this and many other ways to preserve and fix clothes and I agree with you that many things we have aren't actually necessary, but preserve and keep the things you adore! I hope this is helpful, cheers!

[@yarazard]

So what i’ve done to help me from it getting horribly bad is basically like in my tshirt drawer, if i get some new shirts and they don’t fit, i make myself get rid of shirts until they fit. I also have a set amount of hangers. If i get something new and there’s no hanger for it, i make myself get rid of a piece so that there is room for it. Make sense? Lol

[@juliebarr6403]

I suggest going to a tailor to resize the waist of your skirt. They have pretty good prices.

[@sarahmcw]

With a sleeping baby on my chest, I am HERE for THIS ✨
