Just an idea- you can store seasonal clothing (like your pretty red dress) with your seasonal decorations. That way when you decorate next year you’ll pull it out and remember it! Love your series- I have twins too and you motivate me to stay on top of it.

I have truly found that decluttering a closet and finding your style is truly a journey. I have learned that a full closet is a sign that "it is time". There should always be space so the clothes can breathe and we can see our outfits. So hard to obtain. I will say I have gotten better at getting out of the fast fashion and sticking with basics that I can layer. Pinterest is a great place to find your style. Create a board and use that as a way to determine what you need to fill the gaps.

Hi Mai! My favorite fashion KZbinr is Justine Leconte. She is a French fashion designer and has lots of videos on how to find which clothes look good on certain body types and skin colors. She has really helped me over the years find clothes that help me look my best and I absolutely recommend her for fashion advice!

As a woman that is 5'9" and has been since middle school, I have never been able to buy body suits or jumpers that fit comfortably. Some people have told me if I buy higher end brands that the sizes vary more and its easier to find longer items but I just decided its not my style to wear any clothing of that nature. 😂

Just a note to everyone.... your local hospital usually accepts WEDDING DRESSES as a donation, then they make them into dresses for stillborns. And dress the girls (different clothes are made for the boys). Our hospital did this for us back in 2018 when our daughter was stillborn. I still have the beautiful dress my little Olivia wore. I donated my wedding dress some a few mamas could have a beautiful dress for their babies. If you are wanting to get rid of your dress this is an awesome option to look into 💕

Wonderful video! I think decluttering in the New Year is now a tradition for a lot of households! Keep up the good work! My fav places to find new clothing are thrift stores. In finding inspiration for nice dresses, keep in mind of the season or if it can be a transitional look. Don’t buy clothing based on a “special occasion”. As 5’4” height myself and in the 30 year old bracket, look for dresses that are knee length or maybe 2 inches lower. It will make you look more sophisticated. Another good tip is can this dress also incorporate your other clothes in your closet as well? I.E. Throw on the jean jacket on top of your dress.
