VINTAGE CLOSET PURGE! | Going through my retro wardrobe before my retro closet renovation!

[@lisaconnelly7731]

Hey Midge! When I go through my closet trying to make space I always ask myself, "would I buy this again today?" If not, it goes.💕🤟 Keep all 3 maybes!

[@ninjapiratess]

It's a good thought to use when deciding what to get rid of, especially if you feel like your style is changing a lot. I have put lots of things into my poshmark with this in mind!

[@Cyndis865]

Lisa Connelly I like your idea. Cuz sometimes I buy stuff and I wonder what I was thinking when I bought it. Especially when it's a dress or a skirt and to get me in a dress and a skirt it's like pulling teeth even now I have always been a blue jean girl it's either blue jeans or some type of black pants I just don't know about skirts and dresses. But I'm going to try your idea

[@HeatherCorinneCrochets]

Loved this ❤️ Came looking for the next one!

[@Kat_Nguyen]

I would get rid of the gold caftan, blue glittery velvet dress & Christmas dress. I agree with your thoughts on the negatives things you see in them. I really hate when a dress/top is suppose to have a seam under the bust but its too small & hits across the bust.

[@aestheticsalaangel]

"There are 43 dresses... That's too many dresses." *Me looking at my too full closet of probably 100 dresses* 🙈👀😬 I do feel inspired to take a day and just try on all my dresses to see what I want to keep! I'll have to do that soon. Loved seeing your closet!!! Can't wait to see the transformation ❤️

[@ninjapiratess]

Haha I am the same with t-shirts. I probably have like 150. I feel like I collect them.

[@liviwhitman8236]

LOVE the blue sparkly star dress! The caftan is meh and the cream and red dress is not as fun as your other dresses. I’m super pale as well and know what you mean about cream looking kind of washed out on pale skin tones. Side note I LOVE the Katrina dress! I’ve been making costumes for a line I want to sell next fall and a Katrina dress is absolutely on my list!

[@renees766]

Midge, I love your style and confidence. You are the perfect example of being stylish, beautiful n confident in a plus size. I've seen you with n without makeup, dressed up n dressed down, and you are ALWAYS beautiful. Thank you for being a true example!

[@MidgeMunster]

This is the kindest comment Renee, thank you so much 🥹🖤

[@justiceflynn6297]

Fun video! Looking forward to the finale! The first dress you made in school, may I suggest putting it in a frame or shadow box? You can display it on a wall, freeing up space.

[@venusarachnid7641]

I just recently went through all of my clothes so I know what chore it is! I got rid of “fussy” items, otherwise uncomfortable or hard to style or clean. My body and style has evolved so I got rid of things no longer serve me. I do the Marie Kondo thing of thanking the items for helping figure out my personal style or helping me in the past to help me mentally let go. I also remember that memories are memories and holding on to an item that I can no longer use because of nostalgia just allows the item to get in the way of things I actually use. I also don’t think about the price of an item when moving on from it. I had a lot of guilt that I had to get over letting go of things and feel loads lighter because of it! I also hold things in my maybe pile for about 6 months and move them out if I haven’t used them in that time. Remember your wardrobe serves you and not vice versa!

[@PonyOnii]

the blue sparkly dress is so pretty, whar a dream dress tbh 🥺❤️

[@lisathebear33]

Loved watching your journey through fashion! I say get rid of the caftan and keep the blue velvet star dress! Love you!

[@AngelicFruitcakia]

The blue glittery dress is so lovely. I have it in black, I would sell it as you do have the amazing other blue velvet.

[@jaynesledge1927]

I just wanted to give you a huge shout out for making me finally feel ok with being my true self no matter my size there are shops that cater to us rather than making us feel like we should conform to their standards for our age or life you are awesome!!!!!

[@jsapcakrrow]

I really need to clean out my closets & dressers. I have tiny closets & the clothes are jammed in there & now that I'm working from home too I really don't wear most of those clothes & a lot of them don't fit anymore. You have given me the incentive to take some time & start working on cleaning them out.

[@spookyho94]

This was so enjoyable to watch. Your collection is gorgeous. That vegan leather jacket looks unbelievable on you. 🤩

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

I'd say sell the caftan, keep the starry dress but accessorize it with a silver or white belt right under the bust to accentuate your waist and I'm on the fence about the bespoke dress as it is pretty but a bit meh... I always get happy when you upload!

[@JustJennyKelly]

I thought the same about the sparkly dress! A belt would give it that extra oomf!

[@Jassiepoohbear]

Loved this! If you don't keep the sparkly blue velvet dress, please do a photoshoot with it on then sale/give it away. You gotta get a festive photo out of it cause the color combo with your hair is too good!!!

[@misswickedsweb2761]

Love the blue star dress! Ditch the other 2

[@MaggieMeyersMakeup]

Keep the blue sparkly velvet dress! So pretty on you!! And would be cute for new years eve! 🤩

[@janiebrossmann1178]

It takes patience and bravery to do this clean out…great job 🖤

[@johanna.ontheweb]

I've learn a few things through years of modifying my wardrobe and decluttering. It's good to make harsh decisions but also not to be too hasty because I've made the mistake of giving away pieces that I regret now. I hold on to the gold kaftan because it looks very unique and not something you find just everywhere, even if you don't end up wearing it all the time. For the other two both are winter/christmas style dresses so I would keep them for now to see if you reach for them and when the spring comes you can see did you wear them and if you did, did you feel good in them or not, then you will know your answer to keep them or not. Hope this helps a bit, in the end it's your decision we can only give our opinions as much but you need to feel good about those dresses not us

[@saharazaramorocco6273]

This is a great video - I like a long, chatty one! I say keep the caftan - until you get another one you love. It's so unique and free flowing, but I agree the fabric while pretty is maybe too stiff. Get rid of the blue sparkle and color blocked christmas dresses. The blue sparkle one isn't cut right for you, and you can zhuzh up the other blue velvet with lots of sparkly jewelry for a similar effect. Good job on the closet clear out!

[@courtneygreen5342]

Loved this! Nice to watch something new and fun! I’m super jealous of your pieces! They’re gorg!

[@shamszakhour6076]

Mrs Maisel Christmas - No. Caftan - No (it looks kind of cheap). Sparkly blue - Yes (unless the cut of it really bothers you)

[@candicearmijo61]

Good job getting rid of all those clothes! It feels so good to do that. I would say get rid of those maybe dresses. You said if you are talking about an item too long, just get rid of it! You will find more fun clithes that you absolutely love in the future I'm sure. Can't wait to see the progress on your closet! The sneak peak of the wallpaper is beautiful!

[@ninjapiratess]

I'm only a little ways into the video, but a suggestion I have for all your beautiful sweaters is to use wooden hangers! Plastic ones will stretch out the shoulders into little bips that stick out, especially hangers with the indents meant to hang tank tops. You can get them cheaper online than in stores. It will extend their life! I love watching closet clear out videos. Are you going to paint the walls and shelves new colors?

[@pilatesandcats]

Hi Midge! I love your channel! I have reorganized many closets and one of the big suggestions I make is to switch to wood hangers. They can be purchased relatively inexpensive from Amazon and they just add that extra polish. Also padded hangers for your beautiful dresses would be gorgeous and can be purchased in powder pink 🥰

[@Verona_Draven]

Love the yellow mustard dress from your shop!!

[@wanya_telborn]

The little green deer dress can easily be made into a skirt also 🥰

[@lindyjanes7939]

I loved this so much Midge! My wardrobe space is very similar to yours 😁👗. I find decluttering very therapeutic, & I am currently doing room by room 🫶🏻

[@samireason6916]

I loved this video. Re-home the caftan and keep the other two. You have such a sparkling personality, and the blue star dress just accentuates it! Keep being you!!!!!

[@daronmarkley826]

Thanks so much Midge for taking me on a tour of your lovely closet and I really enjoyed seeing some of the beautiful clothes that you love ❤️ to wear they did look fantastic on you also I want to wish you the best of luck on the renovation of you closest now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Midge and I’ll see you on the next Midge Munster adventure also please be safe out there

[@angie8088]

You would look fashionable and beautiful in literally anything. I think your instincts on questioning the caftan, Mrs. Maisel dress, and blue sparkle are on the right track though. I think of all of those amazing colors when I think of your style, so cream is just a different vibe. The blue sparkle isn’t cut perfectly, and I just may not be a fan of the shape of caftans in general. I have zero fashion knowledge though. My favorite was the cobalt blue velvet. It screams take me to some kind of gala! 😄

[@matthewschultz3762]

No caftan - get one in a bold pattern and colors more flattering to you. Maybe a more casual/versatile fabric. Yes on the blue sparkle dress

[@botheredwithknots-Sandra]

Congrats on the sponsorship! Great video idea! Really enjoyed it. If you love a fabric but not necessarily the fit, you could always make them into skirts. Also I see some of those Halloween and owl fabrics and think 'crafts'!

[@audreylacombe992]

Love this new series. So when you post the universal monster skirt, and the match stick dress will you please let us know? I've been looking for that skirt and dress, would love to buy it. Thank you

[@sarasamul1119]

What is your Poshmark? I can’t find you. You have beautiful clothes- the sparkly blue dress is breathtaking, I think you should keep it! I think you should also list your favorite designers so we can go look at them ourselves! I love your style!

[@catlova567]

I think you can wear the plain blue velvet with lots of campy sparkly accessories for a new years look.

[@magdalenaalvarez9893]

I just discovered your channel August 2022 & subscribed! And I am slowly watching all your videos! I hope you kept the caftan! Love your style! 🖤

[@callmeclaireee]

I think all three of those you were debating about can go. I LOVE the blue sparkly one but that other blue dress was literally MADE for you and looks so much better on you. As much as I love the sparkles, I think the other one is better

[@catherinefilcher236]

Your collection is beautiful and it's like my style (50s housewife) and my sister's style (spooky bat) have been smooched to together.

[@rebelprep]

Hiya! I would say things like purple shirt and maybe shirt after would be nos.. because of 3 things I noticed and the rules I set for myself also: how much you had to talk to it to convince yourself, how much you moved around somewhat uncomfortably while wearing it, and how much you adjusted it while wearing! I'm doing to same process and those are my 3 notes to myself!!!!!!! Not at ALL a commentary on you or your style/decisions/closet/anything! Love your whole channel!

[@AuroraTigress]

Ugly 60’s bedsheet print is such a vibe. With the blue star one, you could add a petticoat underneath to make it floofier.

[@matthewschultz3762]

(Matt’s fiancé Mandy here): midge. What a purge! Keep the pencil skirt! I feel like you need more basics to style the wow pieces with. You are much more brutal than I am! I have such a hard time since I paid good money for the pieces and I did like them at one point. I also fall into the buying for special events trap and never wear again. Would love a video of you shopping to restock and going through some of your favorite designers and stores and WHY you like them.

[@yashashreesada]

Keep all three! Blue velvet dress is everything ♥️

[@devathepinup]

There's nothing wrong with having two blue velvet dresses! Nothing wrong at all. (I'm apparently becoming a velvet collector...) You can't really tell on camera that the fit of the glittery one isn't great until you get really up close, otherwise I think it does look very flattering. My suggestion is, keep it for this holiday season, and if it doesn't get worn then rehome it and acquire a very glittery brooch or jewelry set to wear with the Baudelaire.

[@sistaholistic]

I'd love to see you do a review on your Vixen collection!

[@mariharris8535]

Hey ghoul!!! Such a great closet and wardrobe👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 would you be kind enough to share where the bride of Frankenstein handbag is from …I LOVE it so much!!!💙💙💙

[@tartanic1560]

I loved seeing your wardrobe! My two cents is keep the caftan, say goodbye to the sparkly star and Mrs. Maisel dresses, they don't fit you properly and one can never feel fabulous in an ill-fitted dress. The caftan reminds me of cocktails and bossa nova, what's not to love about that.

[@kristycartwright4743]

Yes, thoroughly enjoyed it! Oh, and so many super cute dresses and skirts. Excited for part 2

[@yvettet9855]

Keep the caftan, ditch the Collectif velvet dress. Also, you definitely shouldn't feel like you have too many dresses; I converted one of the guest bedrooms into my dressing room/closet and have 3 industrial rolling racks of just dresses lol lol. Not too mention I have very single color Mak "cropped daily" cardigan - I'm a true clothes hoarder, but I do, at least, wear it all so I feel semi-justified. I also don't allow myself to buy anything new at this point without getting rid of something else. Looking forward to seeing this closet come together!

[@BackstageBarbie]

I’m not a big fan of blue, but the star dress is so pretty. It looks great on you. I think it would be cute to wear this time of the year, even though it’s not a traditional Christmas/holiday color. 💙💙

[@lauraann7816]

I'm a little late but here's my 2 cents anyway: when I saw the Christmas Mrs. Mazel dress I was like 😐 then I saw it on you and was like 🥰 if you still have it keep it for sure.

[@ResetEDU]

Have you redone your closet yet? I’d love to see part 2! 🖤🖤🖤

[@MidgeMunster]

Not yet! Sadly about a week after I filmed this I hurt my spine really badly and had to take some time off physically heavy projects. Hoping to get back to work on it very soon! 😍

[@ResetEDU]

@Midge Munster I'm so sorry you got hurt! But whenever you're ready, I'm so looking forward to seeing the closet reno! 💜

[@jerrihammer666]

I like both and very pretty on you!! Love your style!!

[@SadeJessica]

That lime green skirt you have with monsters all over it, well I had an idea 💡 Maybe you can make some throw pillows out of it OR a waist cooking apron with it? Just a idea lol but if not I’m sure you’ll figure something out

[@melissasmurphy4572]

Caftan goes, need one? Get a different one. When you go to the taylor take the star dress. Do not put the items going to the taylor back in your closet. Put them where you constantly see them. That way you are more likely to actually take them, (You already know that of course. )

[@starshine1185]

I'm only six minutes in and I love your motorcycle jacket. Lol You may want to check out Cato's around fall if you have one locally. The last couple of years they've had some awesome moto jackets. I've got white and lavender faux leather pair from two years ago, and a pastel pink and sparkly gold faux suede pair from last year. 15:30 I'm loving that Audrey II skirt, Little Shop of Horrors is one of my absolutely favorite musicals. Honestly I love most of you clothing. Definitely fashion goals for the future. I have an Eloquii pleated vegan leather skirt, and that thing is outright waterproof too. 🤣 That plain blue velvet dress is spectacular, by the way.

[@brookeg5979]

Oh I hope you sell some of these, because I would LOVE at least three things you put in your nope pile (including your lovely wedding shower dress)! The "sabrina" dress is 100% a Veruca Salt dress and I NEEDS IT. :D Separately, I had a similar awakening about fashion during the pandemic and lockdowns. I was wearing boring, hateful shapeless coverups until I started doing daily fashion posts on Insta after being laid off. I rediscovered my joy in clothes and style and having fun. Life is too short to wear boring unsuitable clothes!

[@dreambigmel8395]

Hi Midge. Thanks for sharing. Love your pieces. It's beautiful.

[@frankf198]

Keep caftan ditch the blue ya have the other blue that works and totally ditch mrs dress 👗 good clean out can’t wait to see the finished glam closet 😘

[@slothburglar]

You did so good getting rid of stuff! I love purge videos but some other KZbinrs I watch basically keep everything haha.

[@sallyparsons8111]

This video must have taken so much time to make! Watched the whole thing while eating spaghetti

[@laurenszyper6455]

I vote that you keep the blue velvet star dress!

[@ghoultiful]

You had more bad things to say than good about the glittery star dress. Keep the kaftan. Always good for summer

[@mccaberentz6095]

Keep the caftan, get rid of other two. Enjoyed the content & found your technique and decision making helpful. Thank you for sharing!

[@mccaberentz6095]

Maybe style the caftan with a bright teal turban to give you the pop of color and add come colorful accessories

[@RedRosesDead07]

That closet is a bedroom, lol! I'd love that much space! I love the fabrics and stories behind everything, I wish I was a skirt girl!! That lavender top is lovely, I don't think it's my shade of purple though... I loved your photo shoot with the top and floral skirt, you looked amazing! Those black velvet flared pants are gorgeous, I'm tall - wink wink! Good timing on that sponsor (hello, coincidence!) I'm getting a new iPhone, a 13 and I am sooo ready to get a GOOD case!! I wanna personalize it as I'm tired of generic cases!!

[@89misselle]

Can’t wait to see the end result 😍

[@savannah6372]

Loved the video! I think you should sell the blue velvet star dress. Your face didn't sparked as much joy as with the other one. And one wise lesson my mother taught me is "When in doubt throw it out" 😂 Can't wait for the end result! 🥰

[@MirageEspejismo]

Love your collection. What is your poshmark shop name? I would love to shop your closet. These are super frigging adorable pieces 😍

[@JustJennyKelly]

So imma vote rite away on the glittery star dress…she’s a keeper! Perfect for New Years! The caftan is great for like a cocktail party in lieu of a little black dress…and I do like the Mrs Beasley for holiday…you could dress up the top with a scarf or brooches or a coat. I’m a big clothes hoarder…so maybe I’m not the best judge! 😬🤭😂. I’m so happy to see what’s in your closet lol. One of my fave things looking at friends stuff. I’d also love to raid your pile there of not keeping!!!! ❤️

[@mysweetness2009]

I love that top with the witches!

[@maddie1519]

I love all your throwaways and keeps actually I love your style and I have like a million cardigan also and do you sell your things on poshmark?

[@lindseywoods2872]

Where do you sell/rehome your clothes? I love that garden party skirt!!!

[@ivette22]

Keep the sparkly drees, it looks lovely

[@kammelzer9086]

That was fun! I’m jealous of your Halloween themed clothes; they’re just gorgeous. I think you should let go of the star velvet dress and the cream and red dress. I wouldn’t have a use for the caftan, but if you wear it you should keep it.

[@williamwise8929]

You have lots of fun clothes!!

[@asheslaree1713]

Loving the video and I’m totally interested in shopping your sales! 😍

[@kyndram1062]

2020, March 13th was my 18th birthday so there’s that haha. I love all your pieces and style

[@Fasheners]

I’d alter the starry dress to a skirt , you’ll get more use out of it! Get rid of the caftan and Miss. Masel dress. They aren’t as flattering as everything else. P.S. Love Vixen and La Femme Noir. I got a closet full of their clothes, LOL!

[@starrynightbecca]

Hey did you ever the stuff up for sale ? 👀 because I love some of the stuff you were showing?

[@sierrawave]

Keep the blue velvet sparkle dress. The other two can go although I kinda liked the Kaftan.

[@nellyrodriguez8769]

Hi I like the Christmas dress the best.

[@MrsQuam]

Beautiful wallpaper!

[@erinserai]

Isn't the flytrap skirt Audrey 2 from little shop of horrors? I love your whole closet ♡

[@brendagage908]

I really like it the star dress….👍

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great purge

[@bluemoonraven9352]

What size is the sleepy hollow dress & how much???

[@sagesolarius6918]

I think since you did so well with the purge you should keep the 3 maybes :)

[@emilystaufer3938]

I’m team sell the three dresses you’re meh about. You have so much you LOVE I can’t imagine keeping 3 things that don’t make you totally light up when you wear them. Plus- room for 3 new dresses… 👀

[@lindafisher4227]

I was wondering where you get your pettie coats.

[@nataliebishop6960]

I like the blue sparkle dress and the mrs masel dress not keen on the gold one

[@VampErica]

I would love to have the chance to buy some things from your style and do some fun pictures. What another created I follow has done is purge many of her items- clothes, shoes, jewelry and did a series of videos purging each section and then put them on Depop all at once to get people excited.

[@vibeci]

No to all three. Your style is so fun and the Maisel dress not so much. The blue dress although beautiful does cut into the bustline which is not flattering at all. Maybe keep the caftan and discard or sell the other two. I just found your channel today and this is my second video! So gorgeous ghoul ☠🖤!! I love it!

[@MidgeMunster]

Ahhh welcome! Thanks so much for watching Violet, I appreciate the input 😍

[@momzillainnova]

Do you see on poshmark or mercari? Would love to pick up some of these amazing pieces!

[@dirtroadmemories0608]

If there are dresses you should get rid of but love the material or can't really sell/donate you can always make aprons out of them or even accent pillows or hair bandanas/ponytail ties. Btw loved your style and decorating for Halloween would love to see what you do for xmas.

[@antoinettepacheco7303]

Keep the star dress it looked good on u

[@edcastrillon787]

I think you should get rid of those three your debating about. You’ll have more room for new things that really bring you joy. ❤️

[@spaceydays]

Girl, re: that Sourpuss Deer dress... It's not you. I have that same dress (style, different print though) & that zipper is just cheap AF. I busted the zipper on mine the day I got it, thought it was faulty, returned it for an exchange....few months later, THAT zipper busted. Ended up getting the dress again on clearance but..... Yeah. At least the fabric on the broken one made for a nice itabag fabric 😂. Matches my third replacement I guess. (also, I have that hellbunny blue/green plaid in their jumper skirt 😂)

[@pagerkyma]

Love a long chatty vid!

[@Cyndis865]

Keep the blue sparkly star dress..
