    When cleaning my closet I do it kind of backwards,instead of trying to look for stuff to get rid of,I take EVERYTHING out and start putting back my favorite pieces and when it starts looking pretty full I get rid of the rest, then I have my best pieces in my closet

    I think the problem is you’re buying lots of inexpensive clothes that are on trend. I buy fewer clothes but better quality and classic styles. I keep them for years and they always look chic. One cashmere sweater or silk blouse can get a lot more wear and elevate your wardrobe than all those inexpensive Walmart tops. Try doing a capsule of high quality items one season. You will find you don’t need to do a closet clean out at all because you love and wear every item.

    I like that you delineated by SEASON rather than time. Usually the guidance is like 6 months (or something close). That's always hard for me because I live in a southern state and summer is like 7 months! LOL so of course I haven't worn that sweater in 6 months! 🤪
    One trick I've been using for clothes I'm undecided about is the "one last wear" test. I say, ok, let me wear this shirt or skirt one more time and if I don't love how I feel in it or it's not comfortable anymore, that helps me make up my mind!

    If I may add, when you go to donate things make sure they are clean, pressed if they need it, and free of stains or damage. I used to work in a high-end resale shop. Rarely do they have washers or dryers, and even if they do it just adds to the burden of the people who work there. Most places won't resell things with stain or damage, so you're better off throwing it away yourself or turning it into rags rather than leaving it to the people in the store to do. Don't transfer your problem to someone else! 🙂

      I totally agree. I only donate clothing that is in good, wearable condition. And by that I mean clean, no wrinkles and no holes. I think it's insulting to potential buyers to donate something that I wouldn't wear because it's too ratty looking and should be tossed in the trash.

      Similar here… Base palette of neutrals, limited number of accent colors that go with those. Nothing clashes, so there is maximum versatility. I have recently added some prints, though, all classic (mostly in button-down shirts): checks, stripes, dots, and small Liberty-print florals. It’s fun to have a pop of color or print under a sweater or jacket. I find I don’t tire of the timeless prints, only the trendy or garish ones. And I don’t buy *anything* that won’t hold up over many wearings and washings. No synthetics (except workout/sports items), *no fast fashion.* Better to have less. Took me a lot of years to learn, too! One *good* sweater is worth more and will last longer (if properly cared for) than 6 cheap ones!

    Culling your wardrobe simply to make room for more new pieces (as you mentioned at the start of your video) smacks of being sucked in to a consumerist behaviour that the fashion companies are hoping for. It’s this cyclic behaviour of cull/purchase that drives their massive profit margins. It’s exactly what they want you to do.

    When I’m on the fence about a piece of clothing I ask myself if I was at the store would I buy it again. Also I put my clothes in the closet with the hangers hooks facing me when I wear them I put them back the hooks are facing the wall. When I started working outside of the home I picked out my clothes on the weekends. It’s so much easier to get dressed in the mornings. I taught my daughter to do the same. When I get bored with my outfits I look on Pinterest for inspiration. Ooh that would be a good video 😉

    I appreciate the 4 sensible questions, especially asking whether you still really like & feel good in it. But prevention is a good idea too. Consider not shopping for so many cheap trendy items at Walmart etc in the first place. If you only select 2 good quality classy animal-print or tie-dye items to keep indefinitely, there's no need to toss a bunch later.

  • @altitudeiseverything3163
    @altitudeiseverything3163 Před rokem +36

    Good job making this video! However, I disagree on a few points. I’ve always enjoyed the time I put into curating a personal style and getting the most out of my wardrobe. This is what has worked for me over the decades:
    1. Build a core wardrobe of classic, versatile pieces that can be updated with accessories, or an occasional trendier item. My rule of thumb is to add *one* trendy, or unexpected, item to an otherwise classic outfit to keep things looking fresh and current.
    2. I spend the bulk of my investment on those core pieces, making sure the fit, fabric, and construction will hold up over many wearings and washings. Buying natural fabrics (rather than polyester or acrylic), avoiding blends (which tend to ‘pill’), and then *taking very good care of them* so they’ll last. A well made merino wool sweater (merino is tolerated even by those allergic to most wool) may cost more than an acrylic one, but with proper care will still look new after many years of wear.
    3. Fashion is cyclical. If I have a piece that has gone out of style, but it’s good quality, flattering on me, and I love it, then *I keep it.* I clean it, then store it in a bin out of the way. Years later it’ll come back into fashion and getting it back out feels like Christmas. I get to enjoy it all over again and get more of my money’s worth out of it. I don’t keep everything, just my favorites. I’m currently enjoying some of my clothing, shoes, and bags from the late ‘90s, early 2000s.
    4. I only buy a trend if it suits my body type, my personal style, and I really love it. And I won’t spend much on these more short-lived items if I do decide to pick up a couple. Even then, I’ll pass up any trend that I think won’t be last for more than a season or two.
    5. Any new piece that I buy needs to work in my existing wardrobe in at least 5 different outfits, so I don’t ‘hang outfits together.’ Instead I have a spreadsheet -revised 2X a year- that lists every pair of pants, every skirt or dress, and the top, jacket, accessories, shoe/boot combinations that work with each. When I’m in a rush, or planning an outfit for the next day, I refer to the spreadsheet for ideas. Taking a day at the start of each season to try out different combinations gives me an opportunity to edit and cull items that no longer serve me. It also discourages me from spending money on things I don’t need by showing me how many outfits I already have; it’s always more than I think.
    6. A few years ago I donated my collection of mismatched hangers and replaced them with matching sets. I couldn’t afford to buy all wooden hangers, and I don’t like the velvet-flocked type, so I bought wooden hangers for coats, jackets, and blazers, and less expensive clear plastic boutique-style hangers for the rest. Looking into my closet, seeing clothing neatly organized on matching hangers, shoes all neatly arranged rather than jumbled on top of each other gives them *value,* regardless of how much or little an item may have cost. I’m more likely to take good care of them and make them last, keeping them out of landfills (where most donated clothing ends up). Clothing shouldn’t be semi-disposable. The bulk of our purchases need to be carefully considered and chosen to last. Our planet is drowning in our wasteful overconsumption of cheap items made at the expense of those working in horrendous conditions for poverty level wages. Less, but better, truly *is* more.
    7. And animal prints? At this point, they’re a classic. And animal prints are actually one of the recurring trends shown in the fall/winter ‘22/‘23 runway shows, shown by Dior, among many others. No, I don’t buy Dior! 😉 But runway shows are a good way to get a sense of ‘which way the wind is blowing’ and can tell you which of your loved, but stored, pieces should be put back into rotation. Colors, cuts, prints… all filter down from runway to ready-to-wear, albeit in more wearable forms.

    I also do this whenever the seasons change. I usually store my off-season clothes and that's a good time to go through things and get rid of whatever I didn't wear last year. I take them to Goodwill or another discount store. I feel better knowing someone else will buy and wear the things I don't want anymore. I need to do this with shoes, too. I have kept shoes I haven't worn for years, because I keep thinking I might wear them. I try not to do that anymore and just get rid of them.

    Angela maybe you could consider sustainability in your clothing purchases.

Purchasing clothing with sustainable fabrics in classic styles will last you for many years to come. It would be great to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Food for thought.

    You can help me clean out my closet; I just binge watch your videos!! Camo and animal prints are my jam! Florals, not so much. But, gosh, I really need to do some ‘weeding’ in my overstuffed closet.

    I'm binge watching all your videos. Just found you!
    This is a GREAT video! I love the questions, and I love that with each question you went and purged your closet before the next question. I haven't seen it done like that before.
    I think if I asked myself all your questions, I would have an empty closet.

    I'm the odd one, I LOVE decluttering my closet! I do it seasonally. I prefer to keep a small wardrobe of pieces that fit and flatter!
    I went through my closet yesterday to prep for fall. It toke about 15 minutes each time. I have 40 clothing pieces & own a total of 12 pairs of shoes/boots.
    Edited to add: I have never understood the "items with tags". I don't buy items I don't need so everything I purchase gets worn. Secondly, I wash all my clothing before I wear it, so tags get removed pretty much immediately when I get home & item goes straight to the laundry room.

      Yeah, I don’t buy if I’m not going to wear in a couple of days. If I am not reaching for my newly bought clothes in a week, they go back. I cannot believe she has all these clothes that she never wore. Why buy?

    Wow. You've got a lot of clothes. I'm going to have to go through my closet soon as well as everything else I own. I'm moving next month. These are good tips. Do you ever feel like hanging on to certain items of clothing for nostalgic reasons? ... Eventhough you probably won't wear them again? I sometimes do this. I sometimes have a hard time letting go!

    This was very fun and interesting. It's freeing to be honest with ourselves and let go of pieces that aren't serving us well anymore. Then what we are looking at in our closet are all pieces that we like.

  • @kleolaperra
    @kleolaperra Před rokem +3

    These are great tips! I am a big fan of having outfits ready for the week. My biggest issue is weight fluctuation therefore I keep a box of larger and smaller-sized cloths. The items kept are neutral and universal, meaning they are never really out of style.

  • @kathieepler156
    @kathieepler156 Před rokem +6

    Great tips. My master closet is HUGE and I have several tricks I use: 1) blouses/sweaters are hung inside out (no hanger bumps!) and in ROY G BIV order. 2) at the beginning of fall (or September) all my clothes are hung up backwards and when I've worn an item, it gets hung back up normally. All things still backwards are then up for consideration.

    • @roseobloy7978
      @roseobloy7978 Před rokem

      I don’t bother to rehang backwards. On Jan 1 I start putting hangers of clothes worn in the reverse. As year progresses I can see at a glance what I’m not wearing. And at end of year it leaves the closet. Then start again putting hangers in the reverse of the previous year.
      I do the same with tops in the same color starting of left with white, greige, black. red, etc. ❤

    Great job!! Now part of my signature is color, tie dye and animal print. But that’s just me. More that is me is skinny jeans and v necks. What is not me~ floral (I feel like it ages me ) cold shoulder (I used to love that)
    You do you boo. And you are doing amazing sharing.
    Yes. Your questions are great. It doesn’t matter if it is from
    Walmart or Nordstrom’s. If it doesn’t fit or you don’t like it … no need to keep it.
    If it doesn’t fit. It really is a mental downer with clothes in closet that doesn’t fit.
    Great job!! When I finally did a purge my first time. It was such a relief.
    Now each season it’s easier and enjoyable.
    Also I love creating outfits too. Sometimes it’s so I have things ready for when I don’t have time. Excellent idea. I mean we do it for the kids

    When we move to The Villages, I will probably get rid of 80 to 90% of the winter clothes I have. And those colored Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, they're on the way out. I have alot of formal wear too! Decades worth. It's funny how you keep something forever, and it comes back in. A few days ago I found a pretty summery floral sundress that I made in the 90s. I wore it to Bible study. I got so many compliments! But you have inspired me to get in and get rid of what doesn't fit well.

    I hear what you're saying, but the problem I have with getting rid of my clothes...and the question I ask myself often is: Can I afford to replace this? The answer is usually no. Walmart stuff? Sure, whatever, it's gone. Other high end items, heck no. I don't care if I haven't worn them in 5 years, if they fit, they stay. But maybe that's just me? I haven't had a need to shop for clothes in years....and it's because I occupy 4 closets in my house. hahahahaha! But, good tips though!!

    Not sure! Jean jackets look shabby not chic but I know you are a fan. A fitted jacket is so much more upmarket and flattering. I agree about a slender siloette and not wearing baggy. Ditsy prints look old fashioned to me but everyone has a different style. I buy expensive and keep things a log time so cheaper in the long run.
