Declutter With Me || 2023 Edition || My Closet

[@sherryhudson9075]

Sophia, I must say I’ve never seen you wear a fitted tee like you have on. It is very flattering and slenderizing. No need to hide your figure behind oversized tops. ❤️

You look fabulous! Could you please make a video on your eating routine?

[@michelesusanne1]

Check out one of her videos in Dec 2023 she discusses her diet and what she eats in a week.

[@nancypoephillips6941]

The top you have on is great! You look wonderful 😊

[@kimripley1384]

The style and cut of the top you’re wearing is extremely flattering on you!

[@Vanessa-pm6qw]

Wow! Sophia you look fabulous. I'm so happy for you.

Thank you so much!

That square neckline on you is 👌👌👌

[@sammytrond7]

the shirt you are wearing in this video is very flattering!

[@mygreatchallenge]

I love it so much I bought the same in burgundy

[@rebekahharris4197]

Girl , you're looking great. Very inspiring. Also want to say I'm loving the bedroom makeover..

[@jerid2998]

Hi Sophia. I was watching an episode of you decluttering your closet from a few years ago and you kept trying on shirts,jackets and they were all too small. You were exasperated about your weight. Now it's good to hear you say this article of clothing is too big. Yay. Always love your channel and I keep going back to previous years of your decluttering series. You are fun to watch and your energy motivates me to accomplish more than I thought I could. I enjoy watching your progress.

[@VaraVannerSimpleLiving]

The top you are wearing looks great on you! 😊

[@michelel965]

Sophia, have the check reissued to you that’s from 2017

[@briannanovak7831]

Woah! The neckline on that shirt looks FABULOUS on you!

[@nikiedewael3766]

Yes!!!!! Your closet declutters have been my favorites for years!!!! Love it! You look fantastic ❤ that white t-shirt with square neck is perfect.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Girl you are looking very trim! The autoimmune diet must be working for you!! I’m jealous! Kudos 💜 👍 💜 👍 💜

[@janetdamboise6225]

Another great job done Sophia! You look stunning, I love that white top on you it really compliments your new figure very well!!! Your bedroom does look beautiful and that is huge plant is gorgeous!!

[@GODSPEAKS898]

Sophia, I must say, you look absolutely marvelous!!! Great job on your closet declutter, now you have given me the motivation to clean my closet as well, Thank you darling. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️!

[@verawilkerson6734]

I'm a week behind you. I am decluttering books this week. So hard. Need to let go of hundreds. I hope the library will take donations. Plan to declutter clothes, shoes,hats, bags, etc. next. I did a big purge last fall, but need to let a lot more go. Thanks for the motivation.

[@samwatts3378]

You are looking absolutely amazing ❤

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jreyes9924]

Sophia….I have been watching your videos since you started your channel but don’t really comment. I am amazed at your decluttering (something you used to struggle with) and your incredible success (especially clothes) I also don’t know how you lost all your weight but I am impressed at how slender your top makes you look and how lovely and young you look!! So proud of your successes!!!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you so much! I remain a work in progress.

[@juliemix3373]

Sophia, good declutter and seasonal change-over. Your room looks wonderful. Cheers

[@wendycraft3671]

I remember when you used to agonize over decluttering your clothes. Good job 🎉

[@maureentuominen5640]

I always enjoy a Sophia declutter video!! Yes, the vacuum bags are terrific for storage! Save so much space. We got ours at the dollar store so they were not too costly…so glad we bought them 😊

[@gigigigi1508]

Decluttering vidios are my favourite. Thank you Sofia!

[@bethstratton3391]

Thank you for the motivation, Sophia. I think you have lovely taste in clothing. I, like you, am not a fashion follower either and I agree we aren’t ‘rare birds’ as I know several people like us. You are definitely not alone in choosing to wear comfortable clothing and only choosing what you feel suits you, rather than following the latest fashions. Btw I really like the white top you are wearing in this video.

[@DreamMom90]

Nice job, Sophia. Your bedroom looks great and you do too! You have lost a lot of weight! I just went through my closet last week when I changed seasons. Two suggestions. Hang everything. It's so much easier. No more folding t-shirts, jeans etc. Maybe remove the top few shelves and add a hanging rack keeping one shelf in between. Second, I use plastic hanging dividers from Amazon like you see in stores that hook right on the clothing bar to divide my clothes. I use a label maker and add a label to each piece. I have the following labels: projects (project tshirts), tanks, sleeveless, short sleeve, 3/4 sleeve, sets, etc for summer then have sweaters and other categories for winter. I also have all clothes facing in one direction. Finally, I love clothes but limit myself to 200 hangers. That way, I am forced to purge on a regular basis. The amount is less important than having a defined amount of hangers so that I don't outgrow my space. I do wear everything since I love clothes. I limit shoes and nail polish as well. It really helps. I also have a Goodwill box at all times. Easy to purge as I go. Regarding the check, if you contact the issuer, they may be able to re-issue the check to you if you call them and told them you never cashed it. Good luck.

[@theflossi56]

Looking good sophia!

[@AZHITW]

The joy of living in Arizona no seasonal changeover, I do own a light coat can't remember the last time I wore it. Also own one cardigan can't recall when I last wore that either. I organized my closet several years ago, it remains organized because I do the one in one out system. I did empty it recently just so I could repaint, it looks fresh and clean.

[@jukna83]

You Look beautiful ❤❤❤ . Yes of course from the outside. But you are glowing from the INSIDE.. i dont know the right Words in english for it.. Happy with yourself

[@emilyg.4465]

Sofia you look amazing!! Could you do a video on how and what you are doing to lose weight? I’m 46 and need to lose more the 50 pounds. I would love to go through my closet and get rid of clothes that are too big. What a great feeling that must be to do that. Love ❤️

[@mygreatchallenge]

Unfortunately, I am no longer discussing my weight loss hopes and journey on youtube. Each time I have in the past, I was belittled and harassed. A few mean spirited and otherwise bitter women have ruined it for the rest of the subs by ridiculing me and wishing me to fail. I understand it is not fair, but the bullying is not something I will deal with anymore and so weight loss and other subjects i chose to discuss somewhere else. Of course, I understand that not everyone wants to or can join my Patreon so feel free to DM or email me for info. I hope you understand.

[@lynnthomas7275]

I declutter twice a year, off-season clothes are stored in my loft space and sorted through pre- and post-season. By the way, you are looking very trim and awesome, well done x

[@pampilgrim2274]

Sophia, I am constantly going through my clothes. I have a rule I adopted a few years ago. If something comes in , something has to go out. So far I am doing better than I anticipated.

[@mrsgingernoisette]

You look great, really, this top looks great on you❤

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you. It s just a square neck tshirt I found on Amazon.

[@toniisaacsen3523]

Thanks for the motivation!

[@Minimadaa]

Looking forward to this!! I remember your first closet declutters back in the day 😊

[@grogers511]

You look so good! Kudos. Good job decluttering! 👍🏼 We don’t have real seasons here in my SE corner of Texas. I go through my wardrobe once a year - usually in the first quarter of the year. I’ve kept an annual inventory since 2014. I don’t like clothes or shopping for clothes either. So, I tend to keep my wardrobe small. Just the items I like to wear. I assess my needs and plan purchases each year. Last year - I bought new underwear, new nightwear and a pair of black loafers to wear with dressier slacks. This year I need new sneakers, jeans and a few tees.

[@Debbie.4263]

Every time you show your room I am in awe of everything you did. I enjoyed that series so much. Would it work to change a shelf for a hanging rack so more clothes could be hung up rather than folding? Or fold pants so all tops can be hung? Maybe switch to all the thin hangers of the same color, maybe the light ones for you and dark ones for Scott with the wood hangers only for jackets, suits, like that. That seems like it would be easier to see what you have with less work. What do you think?

[@mygreatchallenge]

I have to think about it. I am not particularly tall so putting another row of hanging clothes may not be a good solution for me. These are good suggestions though.

[@Debbie.4263]

@@mygreatchallenge it is hard to tell in the video exactly how high those shelves are. So great to get a reply from you. Love your DIYs!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thanks Debbie.

[@rutheis]

Sophia, everytime I see your bedroom and closet, I am in awe that you did that yourself! You are a rockstar! Thanks for the closet decluttering motivation. My hubby and I are thinking of moving back east in the next year from CA and it was interesting to see/remember the swapping out of Fall/Winter to Spring/Summer clothing. Fun though! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@angelacimmino1102]

Beautiful project. You have your own sense of style with vibrant colors and patterns. I streamlined my wardrobe from three closets to one large walk in closet. Lots of business suits, dresses and shoes donated. (It feels great to be semi-retired.)

[@ThisIsJadex]

Just what I needed 😄 I’ve been staring at my wardrobe thinking I need to sort it so hopefully this will give me the motivation to do it. Hope you’re having a fab day ☺️

[@moniquefuselier7711]

Great job! Going to be so nice and easy to dress in the morning. I think you always look classically stylish.

[@inalisa9761]

You've inspired me to get started with decluttering my clothes. Great video.

[@iainrobison5700]

Great series has certainly motivated me to declutter 😊

[@kathymackenzie6763]

Sophia you are beautiful ❤ Don't ever apologize where you buy your clothes or what you wear you look great . I am amazed what you accomplish on your channel and what you actually wear most of the time doing it . You do you and ignore the nay sayers . Love & prayers ❤️🙏🏻

[@wonderingsanna]

I go through my closet about 3 times a year. In january to realy purge, to plan what/if I need something for the year to come and to clean it out. In the spring/early summer. I keep all my clothes in the closet and wear some of it all year around tho I swap places to get easy axess to different stuff depending on season. In the fall, same as before summer, to swap places to get better axess. I have about 45 pieces of clothing, not counting my flanel pyjamas (plural) , my bikini, shoes, or my 3-4 jackets for different seasons and weather. I don´t count underwear either but gym/running/yoga clothes are included. All my clothes (accept my bikini and pyjamas) are black and all of them accept the wool items can be washed together. I live in Sweden and need clothes for different weather and seasons otherwise I would have way less clothes. I have never had "loads" of clothes and over time

[@safepethaven]

Excellent job! I have used various sizes, styles and brands of vacuum storage bags for over 20 years and love them [well most of them] as there are better brands and styles than others, but they really help to store seasonal clothes and bedding down to quite small/flat, and many can even store away in unused luggage. The early experiments I made with cheaper ones [dollar store type] were a flop, but other brands worked great. Most are designed to store about 6 months, then re-compressed to stay compressed for longer term.

[@KILO-uv2wi]

Just wanna say, I’ve been here since 2015 and you have come such a long way, in many ways. No more agonizing when you declutter. Bravo! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

About the cheque get in touch with the company if they are a good company they will honour it. I now keep 7 everyday outfits and 2 smart going out outfits, it has been a life changer for me.

Please contact the company about that check. They may have it on their books or have reported as unclaimed property. In one of my prior jobs, I supported this function. It’s not unusual for people to find old checks. The money should not be lost to you. Good luck!!!

I have the opposite problem with so many clothes being too small but I found out that I have thyroid issues and perimenopause. I've lost 10 lb from intermittent fasting in the first 4 months but I've plateaued so I have to make some diet tweaks and get out walking when the weather cooperates and work my butt off decluttering and cleaning when it doesn't.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Same here. Hashimoto + others. It s all about the food we eat and the meds. I am rooting for you.

[@jennyjenkins877]

@@mygreatchallenge My doc is hesitant to prescribe meds because, even though I have the antibodies that show I have Hashimoto's, my TSH isn't too far over the normal range, so I'm just doing what I can with supplements like Vitamin D. I've even given up vegetarianism to try to eat more protein and less gluten. It's been less than a year since my diagnosis but I'm astonished by how common this autoimmune disease is!
