I enjoyed this vide but my favorite part? When your little one asked you to keep the pink sweater (sweet baby)

One of my biggest stumbling blocks when decluttering is keeping items that are similar to what other people wear (and look great in), even though they just don't look or feel right on me. Great decluttering video anyway.👏

I don't know why I love closet cleanout videos so much, but I do! It has taken me some time to get to the point, but everything in my small (very small) closet is a "hell yes!"

This was an eye opener for me. Finally some explanation about how to make these choices! I’m about to tackle my wardrobe and I feel as if I can go into this with a bit of a system now. Thanks so much for sharing!👍😊

I love how you actually wear your clothes and use them until they’ve served you a nice amount of time!

Just what I needed today LOL I’m “trying” to declutter but I have such a hard time... as a very moon 🌙 person I dress for my mood so there are many “me” to dress and I have quite the eclectic style. The one thing we all agree ( 😂 sounds like a multiple personality disorder ) the fabric! Yes! That’s how I can get rid of clothing. I don’t like polyester either. Love Gus advice! He is so adorable 😍 Emily in your intro you mentioned not feeling the difference of the new year. True it’s not in the outside. Begins inside everyone of us and has to do with clarity of what makes us feel good and bad and take the choice that feeds us and enrich our lives and those surrounding us. If everyone did that the inner work will soon translates to the outside. Thankfully we don’t need to single handle change the word. It’s all about inner and our surroundings. I actually did feel the change at Solstice. The sun is brighter, the birds are more animated and my dreams have been super bright/real and lucid. Avoid watching the news. It ruins our vibes 😉

Love your makeup in this vid!

Keep the silvery blouse! So pretty and classy!

I organize just like you do! First by category, then color light to dark. More pleasing to the eye and much more efficient when deciding what to wear. Also, I keep it active according to the season.

I like the grey gauze shirt, best. Helpful video, as always.

Love the Vikings sweatshirt!!💕 Born and raised a Vikings fan too!

Just discovered you and your KZfaq channel today!! I am moving and downsizing, and your strategies in this video are going to make it a whole lot easier! You rock! Thank you 😊

I would like to see the Directors Cut! 😂 It's so helpful to hear your arguments while decluttering or not. Could watch this hours and hours as a warmup starting my own challenge. And as my loveliest english lesson as well. I'm 55 and from Germany, and my english habits in school were very, very bad, so it becomes hard to confront me with any english content. But it feels cosy to listen to Your voice and content and only sometimes it is necessary to use help by a translation App. This morning I stand up and the first thoughts in my head I heard myself saying were english sentences. It's so amazing! Thank you so much for this good vibrations and lessons in love! 😉❤

Wow! I think you may have just solved my itching...I'm allergic to synthetic fibers! Now I can finally condense my crazy wardrobe. Thank you! 🧡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I think this is likely the ONLY declutter video i've watched all the way through. Its especially useful to me as a frequent declutterer because I'm moving to France from Australia next year early 22 so i've been decluttering EVERYTHING! I find a great motivator for really paring down what you need is thinking of paying for shipping costs... that's helped me get rid of lots of things I was hanging onto. Such a useful video thank you!

This is exactly like I do mine but only 2 times per year, I also look for repair & cleaning needs if Items and make a list of needed items, I include shoes & bags at the end too. Thanks👍🏽

I just found you and you're already my favorite KZfaq stylist- I could watch your channel all day. Would you consider showing more looks? For example in this video it would have been so fun to see you model a few of the pieces. It's hard to know what they look like without seeing them on. Thank you for your great content!

Hi I just found this video of yours🙂 so happy ! I always organize the same way, light to dark,then sleeveless,short sleeve,long sleeve and then shorts/capris/pants. I also do it with sweaters , sounds silly but I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this as well😉😉😉😉

I am totally with you on cotton clothes (almost exclusively). Where have you been all my life!

Seeing your items is sobering to me. Among my closet, and extra stored bins, i have 419 clothing items (including footwear). I need to keep eliminating. It’s tough because ’I love’ everything I’ve collected through the seasons and years.

HAHA laughing because I just realized I am looking at a older video and make a very late comment.! I still enjoyed it . Thank you.👍🏼💖🌹

My organization is by category then by time since last worn. So the front is what I haven't worn recently and once I wear something it goes to the back. It's built in rotation plus I can see if I keep passing over an item (and get rid of it). Great video!

I also hate those wide necklines on supposed “crew necklines”, they just never work right. I’m having to get rid of several sweaters that I otherwise like, because of this problem, they just look stupid on their own or with a shirt or turtleneck under them, especially with a thin neck and shoulders on the narrow side, like me. These details make the difference between loving and hating otherwise similar, or even identical, items. Pocket placement is really important, too, so many shirt pockets are so low, they give the saggy-bust look, as in sleeve length and width, where the waist is, and so many others.

Ahh, that cute little kid voice!! Also, I was listening (with no visual) around 8:00 and thought you were going super cut throat “with tears.” 😂😂

I love your video as someone who getting to personal style you have help me a lot

The itchiness in the striped long sleeve could be the linen. Linen can itch till you wash it a few times.

First time I've subscribed to a clothing channel, I love the edgy looks and I have already watched the edgy one. Keep going.

Great advice. Will be doing mine soon. X

Loved the video! I try to do a one in, one out system when acquiring new pieces! Right now I'm purchasing second hand combat boots and selling 2 old pairs that didn't vibe with me

I got rid of everything I have put on for the tenth time and took off!!! Gone good and gone....lol love your show

After drastically decluttering my wardrobe I've found that some of my favorite items and the ones I wear the most are my basics from H&M! This surprised me, since we are always being told that expensive, high quality clothing is the antidote to fast fashion. But since I wear the heck out of my H&M, plus it's more affordable and holding up well, I've decided it's worth continuing to shop there. Thanks for the helpful video!

Totally agree on hoping 2021 would magically make all of 2020’s craziness disappear. Hah! Great video as always Emily! Lots of emotion going through a closet - keep the Denim gray and definitely the pink since Gus loves it! Too cute ;)

Looking beautiful today Happy New Year❤️❤️❤️🥳

Keep the demin grey! 👌

I have only one pair of black skinnies, one pair of each color/was/style combo. I’m moving away from skinnies, even though I’m a rectangle, too, I love all the other newer, looser cuts better, and they are more comfortable and stay up on my straight figure better.

Loved it :) thank you

I have a tiny 2’ closet and 3 drawers, so I’m always decluttering because all of my items (coats, athletic gear, and accessories included) must fit. My wardrobe is mostly basics with some flair here and there and I don’t mind; I love it. If I don’t love it, it goes. If I buy something new, something old goes. I’m regretting an oversize sweater purchase because it requires too much storage space.

OK, I watched this and then tackled my own closet. It was hard because I have more clothes than you but also because I have been losing weight. I previously gained weight, LOL, so there were a variety of sizes in there and I had to try a lot on. Jeans make me so angry, I kept jeans ranging in size from 10 to 16 which is just ridiculous. Anyway, now I am tired and have to go put everything back. Haha! Thanks for the inspiration!

Terrific video! Thanks Emily! It was helpful to see what you got rid of & why. I like a lot of the designers you have in your closet: Everlane, Club Monaco. These are a couple of my fav designers too. I'm on a mission to pick up a few blazers. Besides Club Monaco, which other designers do you like? Lafayette 450 NY? Veronica Beard? (Looking for all on sale...) I love top quality & I'm okay with a blend for spring/summer. Loving your videos! Thanks girl!

I enjoyed this and you.

I love how human you are. Sometimes it's so hard to get rid of pieces. Why is that? I'm going through this now.

Keep the denim grey shirt! ❤️

I’ve been putting it off and making excuses but now I really will go through, reassess and cull my wardrobe.

Wait. Your nails of red, then they’re green…they’re like a neon beetle. How cool! 😎

I have been realizing that I used to wear bright and colorful patterns but over the past few years I feel overwhelmed by those things and am wearing plain clothes and lots of grey white black navy and blues and forest green . I’m not sure what is happening.. age..personality.. shift in self image?? Anyone else noticed that things have changed over the years? I live in the subtropics and the sunlight is strong.. it washes out brights.. so it’s not unusual for people to wear strong colours.

You looking lovely ❤️

I’m just now finding an interest in my wardrobe and how to make it work. I won’t lie though.... when the jeans came out to be assessed? I almost had an anxiety attack- I have that many or more pair- and I can’t part with a single one! Greetings from across the river, but I may have to move that collection to another room to be “ignored” 😂

This was very interesting to watch. No skirts or dresses, or did I miss a part? I organise my clothes in a similar way. Now I feel better as I thought my ten pairs of jeans were too much. Or eight after I decluttered. Funny how when watching you go through your clothes I was keeping my thumbs up hoping you would get rid of more items! But it is hard to do for your own wardrobe.

FYI: This video would not allow me to give you a thumbs up! You definitely get the thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I would say get rid of the black gauzy *unless* you rock that in the summertime--? Also... you GO Vikings girl! I am Vikes supporter all the way!🙋‍♀️🙌🏈

Denim gray. :)

Keep all sweaters. Haha.☺

I organise clothes by category and then within category by length and then by colour. So, for example, 1 category would be skirts, separated into longer and shorter, and then longer go from darker to lighther, next to it shorter skirts - darker to lighter. Tops, unless they are tunics, in which case that's a separate adjoining category, by length of sleeves, then by colour. My mom adopted this system too. Because it's easier to find what you're looking for. I know, for example that that day I want to wear a short sleeve top, and then just figure out what I'm in the mood for and what matched with the bottom.

Save the ‘chamgrey’... nice drape and color way. Cashmere wrap... I couldn’t let that go until the moths win the battle.

gauzy grey can go, check out the discoloration under the arms

Thanks for taking the time to create your content! I really enjoy your channel. I do have a question on this topic. I have been on some medication that notoriously causes weight gain. I’ve gained 30 lbs. Ugh! I am slowly weaning off the meds. I’m unwilling to accept the weight, but it may be hard and a long journey to lose. I still have to get dressed. My question is, do I just let go of the majority of things in my closet that are way to small now (because they assault me on a daily basis when I walk into my closet) and just replace them later? As you know, it’s hard to let go, especially when you still like the item and know how much it would cost to replace. 😩🥵😬help!

I always set aside pieces on my dressing rack. If I don't pull them off to wear in 6-8 mos (Michigan weather is too unpredictable to go a season) then they leave.

the music in the beginning :D

Hi Emily! What do you do with your dressy outfits, for weddings, etc.?

I am probably late to the party but I would say keep the denim gray button up! It is super cute!!!

Go Minnesota!

I have lot of clothes too unbelievable

Yes. Fabric is everything. It is usually a reason I don’t wear an item that looks good but winds up not feeling good. You live for a stripe. I live for colorful button up silky shirts I noticed as I purge there are things that I don’t wear that I love but don’t want to ruin. Is that crazy?

Keep the gray one

Just thought of a Thirsty Thursday question. If you wear a nice outfit and no one sees it, did the nice outfit happen? Lauren Messiah brought up the idea on KZfaq and I was wondering what your take was on it. Thanks and love your channel 😁

Keep both grey shirts 😊

Sew up the back of the silk shirt. It is really easy to do.

LOL I had the blue Club Monaco slit back shirt. I could never back it work.

I find "Have I worn it in the last three months?" is on hold during the pandemic.

The darker one

Major life change: from working ,business casual and some business without the casual (never worn). Now I am retired, with full closet(s) of stuff I really do not need. I pretty much live in crappy tshirts with picture and sayings, and jeans. I have jeans so long, I thinkI watched 2 towers come down in them. I need to step it up some, and purge all that work wear. I have so much that it is embarrassing to take stuff to donate somewhere. But I am sick of everything.

Any suggestions for tunic tops? I can’t tuck them in because they are too long. I think they might be dated. I am 60 years old and trying to avoid becoming frumpy.

Me too regards you’re child what a lovely polite child .

And by the way : please, keep the gray button up shirt.

Lose the gauzy grey button up. The denim button up has longer staying power in my opinion. 😃

denim grey stays.

Keep both grays.

Where can i get a turtleneck like yours? i have been looking for a black and white striped one for months but can't find anything made of decent fabric.

Could you sew up the split in the back of the navy shirt?

You are so beautiful!

What red lipstick do you wear?

Wow you have a lot of clothes

Ahhh! I just found you and love your vibe but I was *thisclose* to actually squealing when you said you were from MN. I’m not from MN myself but I’m one of your neighbors to the west. :)

I swear I've seen recent videos of you stylizing outfits that included pieces you did not show here. I could be wrong, maybe watching older videos. However, you have so few pieces showing in this video. I think you chose just one capsule to declutter? I think I can actually tackle my closet declutter if I do it capsule by capsule. The most difficult part for me is realizing that I do not/will not wear pieces that I do love and paid good money for!!!

All my T-shirts get holes on the front where they touch the area around the pant button. Wear them a few times and there they are. Does this ever happen to you ?

great video! i kind of hope you got rid of both of those gray button-ups, they both have armpit discoloration. ;)

Keep the grey chambray shirt.

What brand was the "26% polyester" striped top?

Do you iron pants before you wear them?

From a french fan, did you try wearing your beanies on the forehead, nearer your beautiful eyes ......

Keep denim gray

Polyester is so rough, itchy and sweaty/clammy on me that I’ve had to ban it from my wardrobe, with the one exception of skirts than I can wear with my, very old, silk slips under them. I so wish silk slips were available now, or even nylon. I tried the polyester ones, they just rode up and clung to the clothes and skin, wrinkling everything up around the hips, what’s the point? I did find wonderful silk/rayon 60/40 slips on Amazon, but the U-necklines are cut too high for V-necks, and I don’t always want a full-slip, I need half-slips/ petticoats, too, to wear with synthetic skirts. I just can’t find all the skirts and dresses I want in silk, the selection is very limited.

Be very careful with that 3 to 6 month rule if you live in an area with multiple seasons. My sister and I did this method and I found long after she was gone I had no sweaters in the middle of January.

Keep denim grey

I have two pairs of denim jeans and one pair of khakis. I have five T-shirts, three sweaters, three skirts, six pairs of shoes, two dresses, three black pants. I think there might be something wrong with me.

What are what-ifs?

🤔 i missed your Everlane jumpsuit... ??!

Great video 👄👄

This vid should have been titled,: Let me show you my wardrobe video, where is the eye roll emoticon? LOL I wanted a cutthroat attitude?

I’m desperate! I’m in my 60’s and have completely lost my style. Like you, I like to wear edgy stuff. But, I can’t put an outfit together anymore. Juniors clothes are too revealing , too short or the fabric looks cheap. The clothes in the ladies dept. are so drab and shapeless. I shop on Poshmark and have found a few retro dresses I love, but mostly I end up wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Where can I learn how to put an outfit together again, where can I go to shop for stuff I like and how do I figure out what my statement pieces are? Help! My self confidence is at an all time low!
