I'm cleaning out my closet, decluttering clothing according to which clothes are more hanger-worthy than others! Decluttering the closet isn't fun, but the less I have in there, the easier it is for me to keep my closet under control.

I know, that part is hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣 I can actually relate too. I had a similar thing with a skirt, it would bug me because in different light it looked a different color, black or navy. And I really needed to know because it made a difference as to what I'd where with it. I was never sure. I ended up getting rid of it because A piece of clothing shouldn't cause us that much stress. 😂😂😂

I have audibly listen to your book decluttering at the speed of life. It really helped me. I have always decluttered even at a younge age. As my parents were oposing of getting ride of things, my grandparents would get ride of pocession of theres and it must have upset them. So I was aloud as much stuff on my desk as I liked. I found when having children I had bo problem getting rid of my things. But had trouble getting ride of my childrens things. I even kept the clothes for my next son. But there was a 4 1/2 gap between them. So really I could have gotten ride of atleast galf the baby stuff.

The Wardrobe Woman is a great helper in deciding what clothes to keep based on your body proportions. "If it's round, it adds pounds." Horizonal strips also add pounds. I'm always shocked to see some people's "keep" items vs what they get rid of.

I’m a huge fan of white tops and dark bottoms. I usually just do black and charcoal as they are so easy to match. (Dressy things). Light bottoms also don’t look so good anymore since I got a little chubby. Lol. I save the other colors for the overshirts I wear with my white tees and tanks and dark pants/jeans.

8:19 minute mark: When you're not sure of the color of something, take it outside in the sunlight. The answer will usually be, undoubtedly, crystal clear. Also turn the hangers around of those clothes you are wearing. That way you can know for certain which clothes are not being chosen. I have both of the books she mentioned. My only regret was not purchasing them sooner.

that's an amazing idea! during lockdown I went through all my clothes and opened all the vacuum bags. Got rid of like 10 boxes of clothes but I still have too many. I can get rid of another 3 boxes easily, but it's so difficult to choose! What's your approach for like tops, t-shirts, and jeans/ trousers that doesn't need to be on hanger?

I would put both skirts plus the black cardigan all on one hanger, like I actually pictured myself doing that while watching the video. I'm an organized hoarder (for example, I have thin wire hangers and place cardigans and button-up shirts over top of other shirts to cram as much in as possible) but I'm starting to dig deep and declutter. I got rid of so many articles of clothing recently when our family played the Minimalism Game. It was fun and so effective and now I know that anything I grab from the closet actually fits. I'm nowhere near a minimalist yet but closer to being normal. 😂🤣

I like the concept of comparing clothes items for which is "hanger worthy-er". In a sense it is like "what sparks Joy", that Marie Kondo speaks of. By comparing you decide which one of 2 sparks your joy, in that you wear it and like it on your hanger.

Black or Navy! I love this. I had two pair of dress pants that I had this issue with because the lighting in my bedroom was 'warm' with a yellow cast . I only knew the Navy one was Navy when I held it again the black pair, OR I got to work and realized I'd worn the wrong top.... I finally took a sharpie to the tag inside and wrote B in the Black and N in the Navy one. I think I've finally donated both, but I have vowed to simplify my wardrobe and not buy blue/Navy or brown pants anymore. It just complicates the socks and shoes and even tops. I envy my other half; he wears a company provided Dickies uniform to work every day. And I take inspiration from KZfaqr and Minimalist Matt D'Avilla, black pants, grey t-shirt, EVERY DAY. Why can't women dress like that? My goal, should I return to an office job, is to buy black pants, nice, solid black and white t-shirts and colorful cardigans. Keep it simple.
