HAPPY NEW YEAR! Today I'm literally getting rid of half of what's in my closet. This purge has been a long time coming and I thought I would be really sad to be getting rid of so much, but honestly? I feel much clearer and happier!

I think the clothes issue, that is, they dont fit, is one of the most anxiety provoking aspects of weight gain. There is so much tied up in how we desire to present ourselves and what is actually available to us. Well done on your purge. Very courageous.

It's definitely hard to let go of clothes we loved and think about finding different ones. I'm lucky I can still sort of shop straight sizing so I have more open to me still, but finding what I love is still tricky!

I love how matter of fact you are about a changing body/size. I haven't had a baby, but my weight also has fluctuated a lot in the last 10 years, and I have a hard time letting go of clothing pieces I love that no longer fit.. Need to remind myself, it's just clothes, I can fall in love with other pieces that fit my current body.

As I get older, I lose patience with clothing with difficult zippers, finicky buttons, and fussy fits. 99% of the time, my motto is, "if its not perfect, get rid of it!" We all have a couple of things we will never get rid of - I actually have framed some clothing that I loved because why not. The truth is, usually when whatever I'm sad to part with has finally left my house, I mostly forget about it. Also, to feel great and look great in a more curated collection is terrific! I wish I had counted how many times I said "that's gorgeous on you" to this video as if you could hear me! What you are keeping is beautiful and you are so good at finding and making new things that will give you joy, thank you for sharing! xo

Loved this video. I too gained 100 pounds after my 4th baby. I wish I had spent less time moping and more time being happy. I too started with a declutter and it truly helped my mental health and as a result I decorated my apartment how I wanted, got organized and even started cooking from scratch... something unheard of in my world. That led me to start walking and I'm almost back to where I used to be size wise. But most importantly I gained my sanity and mental health back. It took me 7 years after my 4th baby was born to feel normal. You're doing great and I love your attitude!

You have done so well releasing some of your dresses,well done ! Maybe this idea will help you ,as you feel sad letting go of some treasured items . . . . . .take each dress that you are saying goodbye to , hold it close to your chest and thank each one for its service and the joy it has brought to you and say goodbye .This might sound a little silly ,only try it , it works .You see ,we form an emotional relationship with our possessions and thanking the items and saying goodbye ,helps with the sadness . Allow yourself to cry ,its a healthy response and it will continue your flow of energy .Love from England .

Hello, lovely lady. I love the green dress, and the miss candyfloss. I have similar body issues. Now, it's looking like I have IBS, so I'm having to look at diet. I have a short torso, broad back, and bolster hips, at 5ft 1" this is a problem. With the bloating, it actually affects my breathing. So you have given me the courage to face what I can't change, but change what I absolutely need to for my health. In the meantime I have found a brilliant bra which works, and some shapewear from WKD, and what doesn't fit, even with the underwear arsenal, is going. Keep up the great work.

Enjoyed this video so much. I did this very same thing at the end of last year getting rid of all the things I had fooled myself thinking I’d lose weight and get back in them. Losing weight wasn’t the problem, it was after the dieting the weight always came back plus extra pounds with it. I have decided to just live my life as best I can stop the crazy yo-yo dieting and except the fact that most likely I will always be over weight but love myself anyway. Thank you for your encouragement to all of us who struggle with extra weigh, that it’s ok. You are beautiful to me and look so pretty in your vintage clothes. Take care, stay safe and keep doing these wonderful videos. Much love to you and your beautiful family!❤️

Hi, Kristina! I absolutely fell in love with the mustard pumpkin dress! When I have a problem like that, what I do is: I move the buttons a little bit to make some room and, if that's not enough I leave that part open and wear a cute matching top under it so it looks intentional. Hope it's not too late for this tip! Also, love your hat collection!

For the yellow Lindy Bop dress I was thinking that in autumn or colder months you can layer a sweater over top and let the collar peak through. And since the chest is covered you can leave a couple buttons unbuttoned. I’ve done that with dresses I LOVE but are too tight in the chest. I’m a layering kind of gal anyways lol. Thought I’d throw that idea out there.

Now that I've lost some weight, I can finally start fitting into vintage clothing again, and am rediscovering my love of vintage!

This is a great topic. I really admire your courage for talking about such personal issues! I too have dieted my entire adult life,and much of my teen years. I’m now in my 50s and you know what? I just like me. I want to get smaller because I want to be healthier, not because I want to conform to any image. My body‘s not gonna look like it did when I was a teenager. And it’s feeling good to purge my closet as well, because I want to feel confident and lovely when I put on my clothes- and not be tugging at them. And for that reason I might even give up pants! Because I’m realizing they might never suit my figure in the way that a flowy dress does. God bless you and continue the great work. Your content is awesome

I know I'm very late commenting, however as a suggestion for dresses that are too short, have you considered a decorative underskirt with a pretty hem. It could bring the length down and be in keeping with a vintage aesthetic

There is a voice in my memory reminding me that: "You done had a baby, Miz Scarlett. You ain't never gonna have a 18 and 1/2 inch waist again. Never." Every girl needs to listen to Mammy for valuable advice.

I loved the emerald Miss Candy floss dress at 17:35, but I weep in the fact that it's size or two too small for me. I'm glad you're doing a closet Purge to really help yourself. I've done several in the past several years. Especially when I move. So I'm really collated a decent closet for my body right now. Though I do want vintage looking items, I get what I can when I can due to size limitations.

Clothes job to fit our body, not our bodies job to fit the clothes. If anything I am really struggling to let go I may put in a box or keep in wardrobe for next seasons review Sometimes I find it easier to let things go if I think of the item bringing joy to someone else wardrobe. It also frees up my wardrobe for items of joy to come in too and how happy the garment will be to get worn all the time and adored the way it deserves! 🙂

Good job my friend, this is physically and mentally challenging to do! I've a few dresses that don't fit my chest but otherwise fit and I found I can layer over a sweater even if I can't button up the top of the dress (or if it's pancake boobs lol) maybe that would help with your pumpkin dress?

I'm about 75% sure i'm going to purge it solely because I have a friend whom it would fit perfectly, and she got rid of hers and didn't ever find a larger size. And it woul dmake me happy to see her in it! I might search for cute fabric to make a new pumpkin dress!

Hi Kristina I have just watched this video for the first time. I am wondering do you still have the dress Miss Candy Floss dress at minute marker 37:55? Also what size is it if you do? I would like to purchase it. Thanks 😊
