I can relate to the guilt over getting rid of things that you spent money on and do not wear but my personal experience is that the guilt over decluttering it is a one time feeling vs. the ongoing guilt of seeing it hanging in your closet and knowing that you haven’t worn it and aren’t going to wear it. So, it’s a one-time guilt vs. on-going guilt. Experience the one-time guilt and move on. You will never think about those items again and won’t have to see them in your closet making you feel bad over and over!!
SO True!!!
I still think about and regret getting rid of some items from years ago. 😅 I’m very sentimental and anxious about decisions so I struggle with ruminating about past things and if I made the right choice. That’s why decluttering is so hard, but very freeing when you do it properly.
So true 🙌🏻 I am going to keep that in mind when declutter.
Carla your hair and your makeup look gorgeous 💜
I so agree with you....I just sold about 30 pieces of clothing to Crossroads Trading and many of the pieces still had tags but I just never wore them. The money was already wasted when I bought it and now it was just clutter that kept me from seeing all the other things in my closet that I love. Bonus was making a little money.
Clutterbug has a great rule about removing "bullies" from your wardrobe, clothes that make you look bad, wrong size, you spent loads of money on and regret etc. Getting rid means they cant make you feel bad anymore!
Love Clutterbug! She has changed the way I think of clutter. Getting rid of 10 items per day. Still!!
Thanks to my friend Lisa for sharing her home, closet and life! Thanks to you all for keeping the comments kind, fun and respectful. It's why my friends keep coming back for more!! ❤🥳
You're making big progress on you fitness goal! Wow!
I decluttered in December 2023. It took me 3 days and a lot of tears to say goodbye. The emotional attachment I had to the clothes, shoes and bags was crazy. There is a sad story behind every item, why I bought it and why I never wore it. As soon as I got rid of all the items my house felt so light and airy.
Much love and blessings from the Netherlands 👋🏽
The only thing is not to fill up the closet again…just so you know my closet is also full of clothes and of course I only use regularly 20% of what I own…😢
I am halfway through his video and I’ve shouted “NO!” at least 10 times 😂. Just donate the clothes you’re unsure about, you clearly don’t like them! 🤣🤦🏽♀️🤣
I totally relate to Lisa when she talks about buying clothes for other versions of her. I do it and the other me never turns up! 😂
Still waiting for my alternate selves 😂
I once bought a dress for when I finally was going to lose weight.. ended up losing so much weight it didn't fit me😂 onpy buy thing you can wear at that moment I learnt😂
The other me is also two sizes smaller and I haven't seen her in five years!
I bought these high heel strappy rhinestone magenta Barbie dream shoes from a Neiman Marcus outlet, you know for the gala I might go to….. I’m an accountant. I have no proms or galas on the horizon. I just wanted the shoes and to have sparkle in my closet. ……it’s time to let them go. (Probably been in closet 10 years, unworn)
Yes!!
It might work really well for Lisa to challenge herself to wear some of the fantasy clothes and see how she feels in them over the next weeks. Fun challenge and will be clear if she enjoys them or feels uncomfortable.
That's a great idea!!
@@TheCarlaProject I do the flip the hanger as I wear things- and realized I was constantly reaching for things that were already turned around- so I challenged myself to wear an item that was not turned around every time we went out the past few months..I found several items that I actually really liked and want to wear more often and a lot more has made it to the donate pile this way. ( 2 full garbage bags after having done a major purge 2 years ago.)
Carla’s ability to let someone make their own choices but supportively give an opinion when needed is impressive.
How I got over the loss of $ thing… Whether you keep it or get rid of it, the $ is already gone. Whatever you decide, the $ is not coming back.
Yes! ❤
Thank you, that way of thinking helps me deal with the money part 🤔
I love that you never buy a bajillionty organisational items (aka, "storage solutions") to do a declutter 💥
Yes indeed! I see her first try to find unused baskets and all in the houses. It saves a ton of money and no need for buying a lot of (plastic) stuff and all like some others do. Very resourceful!
This. It’s simply another form of over consumption when people do that!
Her house just looks alot lighter and she looks alot less frazzled with this declutter love it
I love the consideration “Would I buy this again?” If not it goes.
Thx I haven't tried that one yet.
Carla, your hairstyle looks absolutely gorgeous in this video!❤ Lisa's apartment is really nice and it was nice to see her again!❤ Cheers from Ontario Canada.
i was just going to comment the same!! love your hair!!
Thank you so much!!🥰
Agree! You’re looking gorgeous ❤
I was looking for this comment because I know I was not the only one to notice how gorgeous she looks! Her hair looks so glossy and feminine here! And her skin is just radiant 💕
Love the hair!
Hi I'm Lisa and I'm a former shopping addict myself and I'm decluttering too my clothes pile is probably twice as your Lisa lol but I’m giving away 10 trash bags filled.
I didn't recognise Lisa's apartment at first - I thought she'd moved. It looks great.
19:14 I distinctly remember buying a flowy, brown, linen top from Banana Republic YEARS ago thinking, ‘this would be so perfect for a lazy, sunny Sunday, running errands with a coffee in hand, sunglasses, enjoying the day. It didn’t happen, I never wore it and decluttered it. I’m now quick to recognize and address that voice when it pops up. Hilarious…
That was fun! Here’s a tip for your clients: we here in California have two seasons spring/summer and fall/winter. If you put your off season clothes away in storage boxes, they look new again when you get them out, because you haven’t seen them for six months! It’s been working for me.
Excatly. We have old wardrobes and the other season goes up the top in large bags.
Makes it easy 👍
Yr right 👍. Australia 🇦🇺
Great tip!
So far this month, I've purchased ONE thing that isn't groceries (an income and expenses tracker for $7). I'm very happy and proud of myself! (yes, I know there are apps for this - but I'm a "paper and pen" kind of gal) In other words, for all of the times I "say" I'm going to do a "no buy' month - this month, I'm *actually* doing it!
That’s awesome! I also do paper and pen.
Paper and pen here too. Congrats on the no buy month!👍
@@soak785 Thank you!
yesss i'm a pen and paper girl myself!!
BEST thing I’ve done is a “NO SPEND” month/year. It feels so good to just buy consumables - food, essentials etc. The landfills around the world are beyond horrific.
Lisa was a great sport and did so well decluttering. Can't believe she hesitated over beige and black cardigans, she was swamped by them. Definitely keep little jacket from her mum as showed off her cute figure. Sometimes because of a label or price we paid we can become blind to whether they flatter our bodies and our true to our authentic selves. Well done girls you smashed it x
Dividers for the closet shelf will help keep the sweaters neatly folded. Great video!
Not sure if she noticed and this might not make sense, but a lot of the "maybe pile," that we saw was black clothing. It might be that the piece is nice, but maybe she's sub consciously not a fan of that color for her complexion.
She could have kept some items that are black that have a specific undertone (like some black clothing has a straight black look, some have blue/purple undertones), etc.
I always say listen to the sub conscious decision.
For instance, subconsciously I didn't like certain clothing, and noticed that a lot of clothing I was getting rid of all shared the same cut in the shoulders: it had a drop seam instead of a more structured seam.
As for the items she said would look good with "the right shoe, or the right etc. etc," she should then try to create that look with that item and see if she actually likes it, instead of thinking in her head she will.
Very good practical advice
I know after I do a declutter, and revisit some long buried hidden gems,I am excited to wear different outfits. I get a thrill similar ro when I buy something new, and make a cute outfit.
@@dmreddragon6 even though storing my seasonal clothes is such a hassle, that's exactly why I do it. If feels new and fresh since I haven't seen it in awhile!
So many online returns go straight to landfill because processing return just costs too much. It might be a good motivator to not over order!
Definitely no that beige hooded cardigan! She has a lovely figure that does her no justice
Her home is amazing and so pretty! I too have too many clothes. I keep telling myself that if I changed outfits three times a day for the rest of my life, I still wouldn't be able to wear everything I have. My biggest problem is actually figuring out what my "style" is!
Same trying to define my style! Or refine it!
I always love your 'declutter with friends' videos. Like to see how different ppl approach decluttering
It's so interesting at 19:11 when your friend is talking about the fantasy her wearing oversized stuff and I looked at the top on her and it just didn't look right, but all the blazers really suit her. Whereas I usually wear oversize and never wear blazers because I find them constricting but for her my taste is opposite to what I choose for myself. I think she is choosing correctly for herself in day to day wear and her style really suits her, she doesn't need a fantasy self. Really enjoyed this vid, it was like hanging out with friends. xx
Saw your video pop up (during my work day - I work from home), ran to the washroom, grabbed a bag of chips, then got comfortable to watch your video! It's like hanging out with a girlfriend to talk about our favorite hobby, decluttering!
-Lety from Chicago
Love that! Hi Lety!!
Yes! I too, got my bag of nacho chips and salsa to enjoy this wonderful video!
Yep, she definitely needs to do everything with lightning decision, because she ends up keeping things when she second guesses herself.
Maybe she could do a 2nd round in a few months, for all the maybe pieces.
☺️
Exactly, if people put everything they own in their bed they’ll be shocked of how much cloths they own.
The first time I did a declutter my bedroom was just covered with cloths. Now I declutter every season and even though I have less cloths I still cover my bedroom.
Funniest line in here was “I think I hate that”. And one comment I would make is that I think those skinny hangers cause a lot of issues they enable you to jam pack more stuff into your closet than you could with the thicker ones. For someone who has a shopping addiction, it might be best to not enable them to jam so much stuff into their closet!
Haha oh my gosh I’m an enabler! But yea I think that’s fantasy ideals not reality. She loves clothes. Not the worse thing in the world as long as it’s manageable for her.
Lisa's place is adorable. Carla, whatever skin products you are using are working! You are glowing! Love your content, always so fun and satisfying to watch.❤
Thank you so much!❤️
Can’t believe that your consignment store will even look at a bag of jumbled clothes! I have to have everything on hangers,freshly cleaned and practically ironed!
Oh yeah here people bring bags and bags of clothes in and they just pick out one item at a time to sort through it and give you back usually 99% of what you brought in 😂 crossroads is a chain and a big thrift store here
@@TheCarlaProject That’s too bad,kind of a poor system. My consignment store lets you bring them thirty items (as described above and seasonally appropriate) that they are able to look through quickly and usually take about twenty five items of mine.
I love Lisa, she is so honest and funny. Thanks to you both for the fun time! You are both gorgeous and real.
Thank you so much! ☺️
I immediately love anyone who loves a sweater because it makes them feel like Grover 💙
I liked that mindfulness book called 30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic by Harper Daniels.
I cannot believe she kept that oversized too big shirt airport thingy. 😂😂😂 omg
I feel as through the airport fantasy self is “Jennifer Garner casual hang out day with the kids and holding a Starbucks coffee.”
Yes that’s it!! Casual with coffee!!
I'm so glad Lisa came back on. I really liked the first video you did with her. Clothing is hard, especially with the fluctuating sizes and styles. She let so many pieces go! Great job !
I totally agree!
i return the dry cleaner hangers to the dry cleaner. the plastic bags i take to the recycle bin at super market.
Carla, you look fantastic in this video- your face is glowing and your hair looks great!
Lisa should definitely swap around some things in her closet. Like putting her shoes and the shorter items to hang on the right of the closet, and dresses on the left. With the end table there, it’s more of a hassle to get to the shoes. Plus she probably wears shirts and pants most days, so it’s good to have most commonly worn items where it’s most accessible!
I was taught to never "should" on myself hahaha it usually makes me feel guilty and if the item just continues to sit there without me wearing it, the guilt continues... so I suggest to let go of those should items!
Lisa acknowledging that she has a shopping addiction is key to getting it under control. Nice to see that she was motivated by you to continue decluttering because her space looks open and inviting. On another note your hair looks great. I love the curls.
No Judgment. Been there done that. I was grow up wearing hand-me-downs until I started working at 14 yrs old. Once I made my own $$, I spent it all on clothes and shoes. Had a 3 bedroom 2 bath home and fill 4 closets. Yo-yo dieting, I had sizes 14 to 20 because would go through all those size in 1 year. I did wear them since I went out a lot. Now that I am older, wise and a home body, things have changed. Especial today, when people wear rip jeans to Weddings. I miss get all dress up at times.
Cas from Clutter bug says 'by keeping stuff in your closet, the money we spent, is NOT coming back, so now you are also paying for this thing you don't like by the space it occupies in your house.." i find it helpful to let go of things that are not a clear YES! we deserve to leave in clutter free environments. wish you all the best..
Thank you, Lisa and Carla, for allowing us to tag along on your wardrobe downsizing project. You've inspired me to head upstairs to go through the massive amount of clothes and accessories that I've stored up there (and haven't worn in several years). Blessings to you both. 🤗
Did you do it?
:)
@@AlexShiro Yes, I did! However, it is more than a one-afternoon project, but I'm over halfway through that mountain of business casual and dress clothes. 🤗
One thing I've learned is to first know the colors that flatter you the most. For example, I'm cool winter colors, so anything in the shades of orange, yellows, and browns do not look good on me, so when I buy new clothes or declutter my closet, I start by picking the right colors for me, then I check fit, styles and so on.
Carla is the friend we all WISH we had and need!!!! ❤
I have a "Buy Next" list on my Amazon account. When I go back to buy it, I don't need most of it. It's helped me tremendously with impulse buying.
During my "yarn" diet one of my parameters was not to purchase anything for 1 year related to knitting (yarn, needles, patterns) so I made a list of all the things I wanted to buy and as soon as the year was over I was ready with my credit card!! But as I went through the list there were very few things I REALLY wanted/needed- a little like Lisa said about her clothing photo file. It works!!
Thank you for sharing. I can relate so well to the guilt. But if there is something I've learned during this last three to four years of decluttering my own stuff: if you are hesitant or find excuses why you don't wear something you probably never will. For me, I needed a colour analysis and style analysis to come to a point that I only have things in my wardarobe I actually like. I know this is not for everyone. But thinking about why you like or don't like something helps a lot.
I’d love both of those analysis!!
@@TheCarlaProject Shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of people around who do that. I dd mine online with Sarah Ryan (she is on youtube as well and her analysis helped me immensly), but if she isn't a good fit for you or you prefer an analysis in person there are probably people somewhere in your vicinity.
I am loving your videos! I am a little ocd and when I declutter I actually sort them back into my closets by short sleeved tops, long sleeved tops, dresses, and then color sort them. It makes it look a lot neater😅
When online shopping I either screenshot the item, or share directly to a Pinterest board so the liked item doesnt feel like it's lost forever if I don't immediately purchase. This buys me some time to make sure item is needed. Also is a good way to collect gift ideas so you don't buy something just to buy something later down the line when it's time to give gifts.
The Calipso jacket.. LET GO. It "hangs" on you and the colour washes you out. (In my opinion) Plus it's stained. You deserve better!
When you talked about the meat that you want to be, this resonated with me in such a big crazy way! I’ve always bought things with a vision in my head of what I would look like and who I would be wearing this. I have a closet full of things that don’t fit my life or who I really am. This has been very inspiring.
I spent today decluttering my own clothes. Like Lisa more than one size (abt 3 sizes) I know how hard it is to let go. I had 11 tubs of smaller sizes in the attic I’m down to 3 tubs now. And I’m determined to get the extra weight off this yr. thanks Lisa and thank you Carla for so much realistic motivation.
Curious if she decluttered the expensive, heavy sweater with the short sleeves? Unfortunate, but a def declutter to me. Fun Galentine's declutter. Love your channel, Carla 💖
I never realized you have a camera person with you! shook when I saw the reflection in the picture, haha
I think that's carla
First time I had help hahah
I have to write this comment because I’m bothered by what your friend said “ I don’t like this because it makes me looks masculine “ … buts that’s alright😔 she said,
people are so conditioned, what’s wrong with just saying what you feel and not worry about offending someone.
Yes, just say it like it is. People are all so sensitive these days.
Love her artwork, plants, couch, and bedspread. Of course, the clothes covered up the bed pretty quickly, but very beautiful, and fun, watching her personality and yours.
Carla, you are always so incredibly patient
welcome back lisa! when i was watching the first time, i had such a strong urge for the dresser's top to be taken care of / decluttered / rearranged. and now she has done that due of her own intrinsic motivation. it's always interesting to see that once the seed has been planted it can grow to other places and spaces.
I so relate, the weight gain, the weight loss, the shopping online, buying stuff just because it's a good deal, hard to get rid of expensive stuff ... I declutter but I feel that gives me license to shop more, it's a vicious cycle.
Oh yes,well said…we are all dealing with the same things to varying degrees. Progress not perfection, right🌟
Note to your friend - whenever you're decluttering - it's Always a "No Judgement Zone", we all know this, unwritten rule!
Yes - skinny, velour hangers - they look neater, take up less space and reduce visual clutter. I hate the old plastic hangers - trash them!
It looks good, I can see a difference; I'm sure the energy feels so much better. Nicely done!
Enjoyed this video!! Lisa reminds me of Tracy Pollan, so cute and funny. You're a great team!
That was very fun. She did a great job of sorting. I loved how she had that oversize shirt for her "imagined self." I have quite a few of those imaginary selves as well...lol!
She did an amazing job. This weekend my daughter and I are going to declutter my clothing closet. I will share photos. You have inspired me. Thanks for doing these videos.
I feel like some clear bins up top would max the vertical space for the sweaters.
How much did she make at consignment 👀 i bet it was a lot
Well done to you both. Lisa was very responsive to you going through her things and helping her to the next stage. You did so well not pushing too hard but enough to get a lot of things out of the wardrobe. Even tidying up the place makes it look so good. I Love your work ❤
You know, I think she really did say goodbye to a lot of items. A closer look at the closet and it did look more roomier. Great job you two!❤
Yes! Thank you!
I really appreciate the conversation between you and Lisa. You both are so articulate and thoughtful
Great job Lisa as hard as it can be it’s all so worth it. OMG that bag is huge it was twice the size of Lisa when she walked out the door with it…😂😂❤❤
You are so kind and heartfelt when helping people. It’s really eye opening to how a second set of eyes with no judgement can really motivate people to move forward. 🎉
Great job ladies the 2nd pass through will be much easier.😊❤😊
Definitely!!
Love this, so fun to watch you help your friend Lisa.
Love it! Thank you, Lisa, for letting us watch 😊
I love your videos! To slow my clothes horsing down, I try on before I buy. I also have to remind myself that it’s okay not to buy something even when I try on a pile of things. Sometimes I feel obligated to buy something if I’m going to try stuff on, because I feel like I’m causing trouble for the shop owner. Sometimes I’ve purchased things out of guilt for not liking anything I’ve tried on. That’s embarrassing.
I do this too!!!!
Normally, I'd be concerned she didn't make a dent in those clothes, but she did do good decluttering the rest of her house. So, even though I would have liked for her to declutter 50% more of her wardrobe, I'll still give her an A. A-! 😂 I hope she tries again in a month or so because she definitely kept way too much.
For lots of people it's a process that may take as many as 10 or more declutters to really pair things down. She'll eventually get there.
Lisa has such great taste! This really inspired me to go through my wardrobe!
12:36 let it go!!!!!!!!
Love her place! And her energy. All the things you both were talking about are so recognizable 💗
And it’s so great to see the effect the first decluttering round had on the rest of her space, it looks and feels so good 🌸 Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
Wow Lisa did great. You always give me motivation to declutter and organize. Thanks for your time Carla!!
A great declutter! Her apartment is looking fantastic ❤
Lisa you are a decluttering champ! I love your nightstand lamps.
Great job, Lisa and Carla! Your apartment looks so good!
Carla your hair looks so pretty ❤. She did a really good job 👏
Thank you so much!!
Thank you Lisa! I love how it looks more organized ❤ Carla always does a great job in getting others inspired to keep going. Much Gratitude to you both. Much love from Oregon ❤
Thanks to you both for this video-enjoyed it a great deal, it was a joy to watch.
Carla, I love your hair! Thanks, Lisa. Great job!
O yes!!! The fantasy self!! My closet is full of it.🙈🤭
Great video! Nice to see other people's process on how they decluter.❤
So glad to see Lisa again and her apart looks so cute! Great job on letting go of the big pile of clothes.
Lisa did a great job on cleaning and decluttering❤ I get that with the clothes, mine are boots and shoes. I had the clutter, but I have to go through more and there is a guilt of buying all these clothes and then let them sit in the closet. Been there done that, but once you declutter and give away, it’s so rewarding and refreshing! Great job ladies❤❤
Carla! You look so beautiful, literally glowing. Love the curls 💗
I love your declutter with friends series so so much ❤️🩷
Congratulations Lisa!! First shot of your apartment I could see such a difference from the last video. You said Carla inspired you!! It shows. You must be so happy in this space now. I always feel that my air quality is better when I declutter! Keep going!
Lisa thanks for letting us into your wardrobe! It’s so tough making those decisions especially when you own so many good styles 😅 thanks Carla ❤
O you sweethearts are looking so exausted at the end of the video 😂, it was fun to look the before and after ❤🎉
We were beat!! 😂 ❤️
Loved the video. I can see why it was hard for her to let go of a lot of things because she has a nice quality wardrobe. Great job to u both!
Yay! I needed this for more inspirational for my next closet declutter!
