What are you decluttering this season? Check out my Instagram for updates on my Poshmark! posh.mk/fwt3lqAcSIb
Just did a declutter too, selling a bunch of dresses. One from a wedding, one for my fantasy self (sigh)
I have a lot of t-shirts, specifically graphic tees, so I will probably be donating a bunch!
I also declutter clothes that don't fit- but I put them in storage if they are of good quality as my weight sometimes fluctuates.
I finally want to get rid of some sweaters and hoodies that don't sparkle joy as well as pajamas. Maybe also some super old $1 Old Navy flip flops too.
Shoes that hurt & so many clothes that do not fit post-menopause.
Thanks for the content, Christina! 😊❤ Have a wonderful weekend!
Shirts I think. I love the look of them but somehow am never happy with how they look on me - no matter if they're tucked, half tucked or loose. Think that's was a fantasy self thing. And also T-shirts that I no longer like the shape of and that are a bit too tight since my arms got more muscular. Yay for renovating ;)
My brand new cat, adopted on Sunday, came into my bedroom for the first time to watch your video. She is black so she likes your style. 🐈⬛
Black cats are the best!
Congratulations! A young wild black cat comes into my backyard every day, I feed him, he eats and immediately runs away. He is very timid and does not allow anyone to approach him. But I hope by the beginning of winter he will get used to me and I will become the happy owner of a black cat, just like you!
@@IrinaVanRonkelI really hope that works out for you. You’re doing something lovely 🐈⬛ Bluebell, my new cat, went to the rescue centre as a stray, and my previous cat, Friend, chose me.
Welcome kitty!
@@IrinaVanRonkelcat distribution system is working!
I loved this video. The thing that is most helpful to me when people Declutter is the reasons why they keep or get rid of something. Super useful discussions around that. Thank you!
I've been searching for a channel that is not trying to sell Lilysilk 🙏😃
Oops that was my last video 😅 - I sent the feedback to them. I think it’s their marketing strategy to put out content close together with their partners
I've noticed almost every style cc I follow posted their Lilysilk videos this week 😂 it's lowkey annoying, but we do understand these women have to make money. Still, this brand is so *annoying* like they're thinking people would fall to the FOMO that doesn't really exist. Sorry
Your toned arms look great! I’d be getting rid of anything that’s not a tank top😂
Hahaha making gainz 💪
wow, i'm literally in the middle of a break from decluttering my own closet right now 😂
if this isn't a sign from the universe to continue my spring cleaning idk what is lol 🥹🫶
Decluttering together!
😂
Yes for the navy COS skirt. Give it a chance, you may find that long skirts in the warmer months are very comfy and stylish. Best wishes.
Thank you for bringing awareness to bully pieces!! Can vouch for the quality of life improvement that comes with getting rid of those meanies!
It's so cool to watch such video while decluttering. I'm with you. Sometimes It's hard after realizing how many things you have. I took my lession after stupid teenege choices ;/
❤
I decluttered a few weeks ago. I give my things away on a buy nothing group. I also take them to my local thrift store. If they are stained/damaged I turn them into bags for gift giving and utility use. I recently cleared out a stash of items that fit in this category that just got to large and unmanageable to repurpose. I felt guilty for sending them to the trash. My goal is to eliminate as much fabric in landfill as I can. Starting again on this project, I learned
it's easier to do a little at a time than let it build up.
Love to see more of this style of video. Don’t get me wrong. I always feel thankful for your summarization of ideas. like it helps me understanding my over buying and cluttering a lot better. But to see how it applies to real life, is quite helpful. 😊❤
Love the idea of a maintenance declutter vs a base/beginner/overwhelm declutter. I feel like decluttering gets a lot of absolute statements thrown at it as a though the need for less is always coming from one place and deserves one approach.
Can we also talk about how “sizing up” for an oversized look, aside from not always being aesthetically pleasing, is also not always an option if your fitted size is a L or XL? I feel like this nuance is often overlooked but has real repercussions for the people who actually want to find something in their size.
I love the point you made about opting for a dupe then not being satisfied with it. I pay more attention to small details on garments now because they all make a difference to the overall look of an outfit.
Definitely agree the striped sweater has to go. It's hard imagining you wearing it on purpose! Also, good call on saving the teddy coat. Check it again at the beginning of cold weather; if you don't want it, that will be a good time to pass it on. Right now I'm not decluttering clothes. I don't have the perfect wardrobe, but almost everything I have is useful to me.
The leather jacket is gorgeous but it is large for you. I bought a men's wool coat for a great price but it was large for me. I took it to a tailor and he took the waist in and re-shaped the waistline and shortened the sleeves. It was $60 for the tailoring but with that and the cost of the coat, it was much cheaper than what I could find in store. I don't know if tailoring would be worthwhile for your leather jacket but may be an option with other pieces you may have.
I love that teddy jacket and you look great in brown...
I am loving dark brown lately!
I agree, the leather jacket and the blue button down are way too big. I'm glad you kept the red cardigan, you look wonderful in red.
Ah love that Cos skirt! Even that skirt with a hoodie and trainers for a casual day
Can you do a video on the selling process please? Have you ever sold stuff on Thred Up?
I sure can! I have an old video sharing how I do it - I usually do depop or posh. I haven’t don’t thredup - I’m not sure if it’S a big thing in Canada
I'm so glad you're keeping that a-line skirt because i think it's going to be great with a sneaker and works so well with your 3 words! Also i understand what you mean about sensory issues, I literally sweat when i wear itchy clothing because I'm so aware of the feeling on my skin.
I find decluttering by season the best approach. I do a closet check for the coming season and try everything on. If it doesn't fit anymore I either put it in storage and try again next year or I replace it. I don't have much specifically only for Summer, so that check is pretty quick. The "maybe" pieces I make a mental note and if they didn't work for me, I declutter them after the season.
The decluttering content is 10/10 but like, those ARMS?! I am DISTRACTED! Wowowowow 🔥💪
Watched while decluttering 😊 thanks
I love the teddy coat!!
Great to hear your reasons for letting go. Thank you for sharing.
I have been decluttering some of my winter wardrobe that I didnt wear again last season so am finally getting it out. Plus most of my black clothes will be leaving this spring/summer as well.. Black in the extreme heat and humidity just doesnt feel good and makes me sweat more TBH. Thanks for the video.
loved this style of video! It felt very personal. 🧡
❤ very inspiring. I feel the same about crew next cardigans! I always wear mine as tops with the highest buttons undone. And try I to get a v-neck style instead to make it feel less preppy. Recently got rid of a vintage lambs wool beige pencil skirt, it was such an amazing quality classic! But never wore it, the vibe felt far too stiff however I styled it. I heard before to never get rid of a classic basic that fits you well, but in this case, I gave it to my niece and she is rocking it!! So glad I listened to my gut
The teddy coat is cute on you. Aritzia did a good dupe of the max mara
This was a great video, loved the in depth explanations for each item.
Excellent, thoughtful, responsible declutter, nice work. I have just done a small pre spring declutter, and am very pleased with my minimal wardrobe. I did a bigger declutter in February, post a 3 week trip in South Africa with hand luggage only, where I realised I don't need that many clothes. Personally, I think the Teddy coat drowns you a bit - I think it's the big lapels, and a more saturated, cooler colour might look better. Just my view. Excellent work - I am with you on comfort too, if it's not comfortable, it has to go!
This is a very thoughtful video and it’s great to see your reasoning for decluttering things. Gotta say, that teddy jacket looks so good on you though, I’m glad it’s getting another chance.
Christina I wholeheartedly love this channel!❤
I'm decluttering all the cheap basics that don't fit exactly the way I envisioned they should.
I realized I hate the way those materials feel and look. They were supposed to elevate my simple look but became another problem instead. Ugghh.
Next are long shirts. I have a short torso so all the extra material is unflattering. Cropped is my jam.
Also all the vintage Levi's that I thrifted that need altering but I purchased them because they were vintage and $7 each!
Donating them for someone else to love.
The brown teddy jacket looks so good on you!
I’ve been declutterring due to upper body gains too!! Wooohooo 💪🏻💪🏻
hahahah GET IT! 💪
Bully pieces in my wardrobe... 😅 That's so true! ❤
I decluttered my spring/summer wardrobe in January because in Phoenix, AZ, it is already going to be 90 degrees. It does feel liberating when you take pieces and either repurpose , donate or sell them. Good decision to declutter the oversized blue blouse and leather jacket. Don't hide your beautiful silhouette.
i am SO looking forward to doing a decluttering this weekend, this video could not have come out at a better time!
I always love your vlogs 🎉and talky videos❤
Love your comment about bullying pieces! Makes so much sense to me. Let's refuse that bullying 😂
that brown fuzzy winter coat looks great on you
i love all those items that you declutter, those are the style that i'm into right now : )
I agree with what you have decluttered. Anything uncomfortable has to go! Very well explained and so thoughtful. Merci de Montreal ❤❤❤
Loved this - great descriptions - I’m going to do the same type of declutter.
I agree with the leather jacket and the button down, it’s way too big and kind of looks like Beetle Juice when his head was shrunk. 😅
HAHAHAH ok amazing reference!
❤❤Enjoy all your videos C!❤❤😊
I just dipped my toe in the water -I’m retiring. I know I won’t need all these clothes. But it’s hard. I’m starting with low hanging fruit. Watching you talk through your decisions helped return me to my purpose of paring down to what i love. it's very difficult when your look swings widely and mine does. Thank you for some perspective and techniques for moving forward.
Bully pieces! Yes! So much judgement. We do NOT have time for that. You’re so right. Thanks, Christina.
I love the brown teddy coat on you ❤
Would love to know your seasonal storage process and setup!
I agree on all you say! 👌 I if you love it just leave it (in your closet or storage) It can take a long time, at least for me, to feel comfortable in something how ever much I love it! ❤
Loved this! I have been decluttering my jeans. I went through a Keto phase and lost too much weight and nothing fit me. I have bounced back to an ideal weight for me but now have a stack of denim that doesn't feel right. So bye bye. I also appreciate your. point with waiting to buy the thing you want vs. getting the less expensive version. Damn. Lesson learned. Agree with you on the blazer and leather bomber.
I totally struggle with loving styles that I feel are too feminine tor me. It would be amazing if you did an entire video on this- for those of us who are intrinsically femme but we tend to dress super androgynous… you’re the perf person to address this
Bomb jacket looks lit!!!
I'm a sweaty gal so I am trying to avoid non-natural fabrics (within reason) because other fabric has plastics and it will make you sweat. I have gained weight so I have to go through my closet and declutter again. I noticed I have a lot of "dream self" clothing. It's amazing how decluttering is basically removing layers of yourself to get to who you really are.
Looking good❤❤ can’t wait for the Bornstein video
i LOVE decluttering videos & i especially love yours, wished you would’ve included clips of you wearing the pieces tho to give us an idea of what you were referring to
Thank you for giving me permission to declutter clothes (that I love) that are itchy!!
Love your nightstand. Please share where you got it!
That Tibi jacket is a dream on you. Looks fab, also with the cos skirt, I think you mentioned giving it Just a slightly shorter hem in another video and I say yes. I had a dress I loved but the length was Just a couple inches too long, just a touch off. Finally hemmed it and I love it so much, hits just the perfect spot on my lower calves now. Before it was that weird neither fully committed to maxi nor to a tea length midi.
Great video!
Purses! Didn’t realize how much I had that was not being used!
I'm just starting the video and have only seen your first three...funny but I just declutted 2 of the 3....the exact 2 tops for the same reasons.
The fuzzy brown jacket colour flattering on you and I like the collar too. Could be fun for Fall. But I see what you mean about the arms being a bit too bulky. I don’t like feeling bulky in my clothes because I’m already bulky in my body. 😫
Teddy coat doesn't look bulky at all!! I don't even see it as oversized 😅 fits you perfectly. Keep! 😅
OMG, I am speechless. I love your videos so much. And now I notice you have the coat of arms of my country, Ukraine. It's so touching, Thank you🥰
This was lovely to see in comparison to your older decluttering videos (which are very good btw) but feels like you've grown so much not talking abt the gains but gurllll u do be rocking haha. Hope you feel good abt this declutter and just to leave my comment u looked amazing in the square neck bodysuit sad thing it wasn't comfortable. Love your channel xoxo
Do you have a link for the uncle studios grey sweater?! Thats exactly what I've been hunting for! Great video, inspired to do my own clean out!
Pharmacist question! Can you take the AG while on warfarin?
“Actually wearing.” ❤😊🙏✨
Love the bully pieces analogy! If only we could get rid of bully people as easily…..
I love all your videos 😊
Where is your belt from?
It’s from dehance! I’ll do a review on it in an upcoming what’s new in my wardrobe video. It’s very cool but not as robust as I was hoping tbh!
What is your handle on Poshmark I would be so happy to shop your closet. You are my favorite go to fashion guru !
"and now they are a hair towel"...lol. I have so many white t-shirts, now they can have a new purpose.
It’s a game changer for frizz!
Question-you’ve mentioned before that you wear your jewelry all the time. How do you keep multiple necklaces from tangling up?
Your jeans are beautiful. Where can we find them? Thanks.
Tibi Brancusi jeans! Check the outlet section on their website they’re on super markdown!
@@Christinamychas OMGoodness. Those jeans look amazing on you. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it. Cheers!
Christina I love the black tank top you wear in a lot of your videos. Where did you buy it?
Your arms! 😍
When I saw that striped sweater I shout its not u! 😆😆
You get me 😂🫶
Hi, your red cardigan is very beautiful and bright but I feel that if you would dye it in burgundy, you would use it so much more. It would match your vibe, bring a bit of chic and neutrality {compare to the vibrant red it is now ) to future outfits.
Would you consider exchanging clothes with Alyssa and Signe, esp those pieces that you will be selling? It is still conscious shopping and would be a great content. 😊
I love your wit and energy in this video. It's itchy?! I just got a beautiful sage Cardi from Sezane and there's mohair and alpaca and it's a little irritating. What am I going to do?! And... I'd say keep the shearling coat!😂
But a sage Henley to layer 💕
I decided to return the$170 Sezane cardi. I just found a $5 Value Village cotton cardi in a similar colour. Big win!
what's your poshmark?
Style Apotheca!
I wanna try AG1 but they don’t sell in Mexico :’(
Dramatics wear thick and heavy fabrics well maybe that’s why the stripe cashmere sweater didn’t work out. It’s too soft. That’s why I love the Kibbe system. You know what works and what doesn’t and why. Great video!
I've never in my life understood striped clothing. I find it an eyesore. LOVE the teddy coat on you though!
Тризуб ❤️
I'd love to be able todo bodysuits but they never work for me. I'm a size medium and if I want them to not end killing my yoni or riding up my behind I need to size up to at least a large or even an extralarge which than leads to them being to lose everywhere which kinda defeats the purpose of bodysuits 😅 same for bathingsuits. they are just not made for small boobed, big behinder tall girl like myself 😅.
also I'm really into the whole figuring out my colorseason thing right now - which is very hard as it is all contradicting in my case. however are you a winter? or dark autumn? I would have expected you to be a winter with your dark eyes, dark hair, light skin and high contrast but you look good in gold jewelery so it is like you shouldn't be a winter. Or are you a neutral skintone like myself so you don't really fit into a category? also you look good in black - which is a winter colour but you mostly wear colours from the dark autumn spectrum. so what are you? sorry - it's just my latest hyperfocus 😂
I'm glad to see you declutter the men's bomber... would it fit your partner?
I just spent a ton on clothes but all super inexpensive. I had no clothes 😭
🤔Ahhh. Stripes & that fabulous 💋French Girl fantasy. I feel you. Love the elegance of a vertical stripe⏸️, & the slimming fx, but I cannot handle the majority of this pattern near my face. All out in full glory, the stripes seem to overwhelm my sensibilities😳.⚡️Zaps my mojo right away...
😉The only way I can tolerate this classic button up that I absolutely adore💕 otherwise is UNDER a body‐con crew neck navy sweater vest that serves as preppy corset. It corrals both the busyness of the pattern & the shirt's volume. Now, I only get a "pop" of pattern at collar, sleeves cuffed, & the loose hem.
🎉Voila!🎉
➖️Horizontal stripes are strictly taboo 🚫. They only magnify the width ↔️ of my big bust & wide hips. Two things as an extreme hourglass ⏳️ that I dress to ➡️minimize⬅️.
🤓Before anyone jumps to my preference for ⬆️ high crew necks〰️ know I passionately hate😠 any neckline that shows off cleavage. Most other necklines do in my case...when the girls are properly lifted😂. I'd rather use a scarf, minimal statement jewelery, or a belted or tailored topper to create that slimming "🔻" impression.
😊Enjoyed your analysis & decluttering process. Glad you saved the maxi skirt for another styling go round.
💚Bridget from Cali☘️
(using my pal's YT acct)
Oh my God, every time that I put on a cardigan I turn into my mother. Like it's crazy. Could be the most trendy piece, could be beautiful. Beautiful cashmere, but as soon as I put that on my body I'm like oh my God I'm giving myself grief for not going to school. So I get the cardigan association lol. Now when I thrift and I find a beautiful cardigan? I send it straight to my mother lol some things just aren't meant for you and that's oookay fine.
Ps the teddy jacket, keep it. It's all drama and that's you now apparently lol ❤
Its funny, in days gone by, my mum would buy herself a new dress, or material to make one... her old dress, dads old shirt, etc, she would use the material and cut them down to make us kids clothes, carefully avoiding holes or stains or whatever had rendered the outfit 'past use'.... now we buy our kids too many new clothes, ourselves too many clothes, and theres way too much waste!!
those beige shoes with the peeking heart on the side... i wan'em
I have a dress from dissh and it fits great but man, it’s also SO ITCHY!!! hate the price and how itchy some pieces are
Seems like you might avoid synthetics!
It is a good demonstration that buying for fashion is completely useless.
You remind me so much of Nikki la Rose.
Would you consider selling your clothes? I’d be interested in buying them.
