"Every single item in your closet should be a winner." I find that to be a very useful approach, thanks.

Here's how I ensure that I have very few B team clothes and virtually no C team clothes in my wardrobe: I rotate my clothes. For instance, in my closet, my shirts are hung up on the rack, and when I get dressed, I get the first shirt on one end of the rack to wear (what I think of as the front end). When it's time to return the shirt to the closet, I hang it at the other end of the rack (the back end). This just rotates all my shirts forward so that I wear them all with roughly equal regularity. I do allow myself to skip an item if, say, it's too casual for what I'm doing that day or I'm just not feeling the style that day. But I leave it at the front of the line, and if it has stayed there for a week or so constantly getting skipped, then I know that I don't actually like that item anymore and I get rid of it during my next purge. I do this with my T-shirts, my underwear, everything. Just line things up in their storage places and rotate them as you wear them. You'll quickly find out which items you keep avoiding.

Oddly enough, the process I went through to "make sure every clothing item I own is a winner" was completely swapping my own wardrobe with a friend's hand-me-downs. I've learned that I SUCK at shopping for clothes. I've never really felt like "me" or confident in much clothing that I bought myself. So, when a friend I consider stylish was de-cluttering her closet and asked if I wanted to come by and take some of the things she was getting rid of, I gladly accepted. I ended up taking so much (including a pair of $300 jeans that I LOVE and that fit me SO well but would never buy myself due to the price). Since then, she had me take clothes from three separate de-cluttering sessions, and now 90% of my wardrobe are her hand-me-downs. I now love my wardrobe and I was so lucky to be able to completely re-vamp my wardrobe for free! (we even found out we were the same bra and shoe size so I got some free bras and a great pair of boots as well). This whole experience taught me what type of clothes I actually love and taught me how to shop for myself.

When I did a very deep cleanout, I took note of the clothes that I ended up decluttering: Who did I buy them with (eye opening for me!) What brands did I never seem to end up loving What Materials seemed to be the ones I decluttered mostly I felt that this was super hopeful to not fall back on old habits. Love from Germany

In the library world we call this weeding. Lots of studies show circulation to rise even though there's fewer books on the shelves. Borrowers can see the good stuff easier.

My mother taught me "people perceive you as to how you dress, so dress how you wish to be perceived". Advice that I have definitely taken with me into my professional life

When on the fence about getting rid of a particular item just ask yourself one question: would you buy this again? If the answer is no, toss it.

Thank you for pointing out that being taken seriously despite what you wear is a privilege! I've been in occasions where someone would dress sloppily I cannot help but wondering if they actually have enough respect of those they are meeting, but they could get away with it anyway because they're one of the most important persons in the room. On another note, while not wanting to be overdressed is understandable, I think making yourself presentable (such as wearing clean, decent-looking clothes, being well-groomed, looking and smelling fresh) is a form of self-respect.

It is very liberating to let the items go. It takes discipline to NOT build it back up. That's key.

When I declutter, I try to take the stuff to the charity shop (or wherever it's going) within 24 hours, preferably walking there with it because it's such a great feeling to hand the stuff over and have a literal weight off my shoulders as I go home.

When I go through my closet I keep a white board full of "excuses/reasons I don't wear this" there were so many clothes I kept onto because I felt like I owed it to them to wear it, but in reality I always found an excuse not to. So I started documenting why I don't: ie too long, too see through, clings in the wrong place, etc. Then I keep that list in my phone so that when I go shopping for A team clothes, I look for any of those flaws that would result in me not wearing. Doing this definitely showed me which silhouettes and fabrics I should avoid altogether and has helped me only have clothing I absolutely love to wear.

I used to buy new clothes all the time, like every couple weeks. Since becoming more minimal, I can’t remember the last time I went shopping. I also only thrift shop for my clothing now 😊❤️

I had a phase of cross dressing a few years ago (I'm a dude), and I learned a lot from it. I absolutely do not regret it, and made me realize things about clothes. We often take it too seriously:"I need to look like this; I want the world to think of me like that; I'm not good enough for this piece of clothing; that clothing isn't good enough for me; I might wear this someday; I love it but it doesn't fit; I jsut have so many feels about this piece". And on and on it goes. Gender and sexuality, which clothing is definitely related to, are topics that our entire species as a whole is debacling and facing right now. These discussions could go on forever. It's best to really just simplify it down and let go. Do you love it? Does it fit you well? Is it good quality? Are you willing to maintain it with proper care? Does it fit your personal style, regardless of trends? No to any of these questions? THEN TOSS IT! Life is too short to be putting more of our energy into our wardrobes rather than into our relationships and communities. I know that journey is a difficult one. But trust me, it is worth the effort..you just got to keep going is all. Proud o' y'all!!

I go through all my clothes like this about once a year, and I've accepted that my style evolves over time. I used to shop almost exclusively fast fashion, now most of my clothing is thrifted and I pay much closer attention to material, fit and quality. Trends rotate almost faster than they can be followed, but your sense of style and clothing that makes you feel good is what lasts.

I go through my clothing every few years. One of the challenges for me is my variation in sizing. I haven't been consistent for a few years. This got me started wearing dresses. They always make you look more put together and many styles can be forgiving on weight fluctuations +-20lbs. I want to go through my closet again now. I love the idea of someone assisting you in selling your clothes. Some money is better than none!

I sent all my clothes I didn't like to Thred Up, yes they take some of the profit depending on the worth of the item, but I found it better than the clothes just sitting in a pile in my home for months. (Plus they give you a bag to load up all your stuff, and they pay for the shipping). :)

I've been doing that with decor. I moved into a new apartment after graduation and have never really decorated before. I've been here for 3 fulls months and I'm not even close to being done decorating but that's because I only buy something if I LOVE it. It took me 2 months of living in low light to find a lamp that I love but it brings me so much joy to see it every day 🙌

No shame in excel sheets. I use them to both budget and schedule trips, to track job searches, and to track tax deductible purchases I make throughout the year.

The best thing about decluttering and learning from that process, is that you only keep the things are are most dear for you, nothing else. Great video!

I have a group of friends that get together quarterly to swap clothes and other stuff. The rest are donated on my way home. It is a fun way to get together.

I had to lol at the "you have a car... don't be lazy!" I'm soo guilty of that. Thanks for the kick in the butt 😄

I did early this year. I went from a size 4 to a 0 for medicial reasons in past few years. It blew my mind how much I kept because it was pretty to look at in my closet. I downsized when I moved, and it felt so good.

maybe i'm shallow, but Chelsea's lifestyle videos are my favorite videos!

When you get to a point in your life where you understand that yes, this is my style, then it is much easier. When I understood that I actually like 5 colors in my clothing, making a "capsule wardrobe" was much easier.

Hey, I'm a "tech bro", although I'm a girl. And yeah, it's incredibly liberating to be taken seriously at work no matter which band tshirt you are wearing today. Part of the appeal of being a programmer.

This is basically my wardrobe goal. I already have cut lot of "dream weigh jeans" and clothing from my teen years. But as an overweight person I sometimes feel awful in every piece of clothing I own, and I also need to have various sizes in case my weight goes up or down a bit.

I would add that if there's a sentimental piece of clothing that is tied to your memories, put it on display! Get a shadowbox, put some other sentimental items, and use it as decoration.

Definitely excited for this video...I’m a hoarder learning to finally declutter my house!! Need all the inspiration I can get!!

Since decluttering I've been more strict with myself re: what I bring into the home/closet and making sure a item fits properly, goes with other items already in the closet.

i usually only had ratty clothes from the thrift shop until my wife moved in. when i got my job, i was finally able to afford to build a quality wardrobe. whenever i shop i only buy fashion thats been around for a long time and quality needs to be top shelf. usually the clearance at big brand stores.

This was the most convincing argument I have heard for decluttering. Thank you, very well done.

Thanks for making this video, I've been struggling with this issue for ages and the idea of keeping only what I love to wear really helps. Coming from a poor background I struggle with trusting in my future ability to procur clothing, etc. I'm trying to learn to let go and stop hanging on to things that don't fit well or don't make me happy. Your attitude toward this is 100% what I'm working towards.

Great video. Too many times I have noticed me tugging on clothes that didn’t feel good during the day. I like the idea of having an ‘A’ wardrobe. Thanks for this advice!!

When you say you aren’t a Minimalist you don’t realize what you’re doing is minimalism. Minimalism isn’t about owning just x amount of things it is having enough stuff. By owning just stuff that brings you joy and serves you a purpose that is minimalism :)

Thank you, Chelsea, for your great advise! And Thank you, guys, for adding such helpful tipps in your comments! I'm taking mental notes left and right. 😅

Love your phrasing - clothing is a huge part of the story you tell to the outside world. Very well said!

Now that you’re near Columbia, get a pastry and a cup of coffee or tea at the Hungarian Pastry Shop on 110th and Amsterdam. It’s one of my favorite spots in NY. It’s always filled with students and writers working on their latest books and term papers. Fair warning: they only take cash and there’s no WiFi. But it’s my favorite spot. You’ll love it.

I went to live abroad for a year for work and only brought my A-team clothes due to lack of space in my suitcase. It was so much easier to get dressed even though I only had a small portion of my wardrobe with me! When I moved back to the US and started unpacking a lot of the clothes I had had in storage, I realized how I had completely forgotten about a lot of them. This summer, I went through my whole wardrobe and considered each piece. I thought about how it functioned as part of my wardrobe, how versatile it was, how comfortable I was in it, how professional or chic I felt in it, and whether it was really my style. For anything I wasn't sure about, I imagined having the opportunity to "delete" it from my wardrobe guilt-free. If that was really appealing to me, out it went. No need to hang on to something I wished I could get rid of. Now I'm trying to fill in those missing gaps (work pants!) and also finding that some of the things I kept could also still go. But I've also found I'm not as tempted to shop any more because I consider how each new piece fits into my overall wardrobe and aesthetic. It's also not very environmental to buy just to buy. I'm also trying to invest in some pieces so I don't have to replace them all time. Any recommendations for basics like t-shirts?

I made that too, when I moved to Europe. It's very liberating. Let it go.

Another tip is to have some cash saved before you declutter, because if you pare down your wardrobe to only items you love, you may end up with gaps that need filling with new items. I learnt this the hard way after 'Marie Kondo-ing' my wardrobe while unemployed and broke!

I love how you say every item is a winner because I always thought I was super fussy with clothes so went through a phase of buying whatever was in fashion. I now realise it’s actually a good thing to be fussy and I only ever buy something when I “fall in love” with it and it earns its place in my wardrobe (eg I can think of at least 3 things it goes with and 3 occasions I would wear it to) :)

I've been on a decluttering journey for a while I still find things to give away all the time. I put a bag in my closet anything that I've tried on doesn't fit or I don't feel good in it's goes in that bag once it's full I'll donate ASAP. I now have 1/4 of what i used to own but yet I feel I have so much options and enjoy wearing it..I've become so picky I usually shop with a list and I'll not buy just bc things are on sales.

I declutter in steps. Meaning, I throw out the D-Team first, then wait a few months till I think: "Hey, there's still a few items I can let go." There goes the C-Team and so on. Especially with my vast collection of books that really helps. You kind of learn to see what works for you and get security that you really won't regret giving stuff away... If you're unsure it's a great way to get started.

I love this channel. I want to work for TFD. If there are ever job openings, let us know. Females giving advice on being smart with your money is such an underrated topic in a sea of extreme consumerism, hauls, etc...on KZfaq. This channel is damn refreshing. Thank you for creating such grounded content🌸

I've done this before I moved out of my parent's and then again when I moved abroad. It was liberating at first, but then I realized my style and environment have changed dramatically and I really needed to add things so I could feel better about the selection I have now. I shop differently now, looking for specific types of items that I've been feeling a lack of.

I recently got rid of a lot of my clothes that I didn't love. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough clothes and people would notice that I frequently rewear things. No one has noticed and now I feel like I could have gotten rid of more than originally did in the first place.

I love shopping in general, and i used to always buy craploads of clothes. A couple things recently changed the way i buy clothes. 1. i got a sewing machine. my mom sewed a bunch of clothes for me when i was little. being the crafty person i am, i decided i wanted my own machine. i got one from my mom for christmas and since then have made a bunch of clothes from fabrics and in styles i love (along with plenty of duds). i learned what makes a piece quality and what to watch out for when buying clothing because i know how difficult some things are and how much time they take to make right. 2. i read some books. Specifically "Overdressed" and 'Life changing Magic of Tidying Up". most pople have heard of Marie Kondo by now, but the books is lightyears more useful than any summary articles or her tv show. overdressed gives the facts surrounding the clothing industry that make you rethink buying those 5 tops for $5. 3. i completed the 30 for 30 challenge. This is a challenge where you tuck away all but 30 pieces of clothing TOTAL (shoes, tops, jackets, pants, bags) and only wear those 30 items for 30 days. It forced me to think carefully about my wardrobe and pick items that all go together and look great. it showed me that i really dont need a bunch of stuff to have a bunch of outfits, and i got rid of a crapload of clothes immediately after completing it. i told myself "anything you havent missed once during these 30 days (weather-specifics like big coats and sweaters excluded) you are giving away to someone who really wants it". After these three things, I take time deciding what i want in my closet. I make something if i want a very specific items in a fabric i find, i buy fair trade clothing from companies that help take care of the earth, and i make sure to keep only what i need and love in my closet. I am far from minimalist, but clothing should always live where it is loved.

I did this a few years ago and I have the opposite problem sometimes where I get rid of too much and have to replace. But I try to keep a lot of items that can be dressed up or down and a few nicer tops and couple nicer bottoms and have kept a good capsule wardrobe over time. People just want to “get rid” of their stuff without taking the time to see what is still good, find staple items and build their wardrobe with the style and colors they truly love. No this isn’t a one size fits all plan of action but just what helped me ☺️

I love the "A team" idea on the clothes. Can you do a video on that?? Tailoring jeans/clothes to make them A Team, etc. 💕

I followed the Marie Kondo method of decluttering after watching the Netflix show and reading her first book. It really worked life-changing magic for me, and my house is sooo much tidier and easier to clean now. There were parts in the journey that were emotional, but there's basically nothing that I got rid of that I've regretted for more than a moment since-- which surprised me. Generally the journey has made me more aware of what brings me joy, what I value, and I feel lighter knowing that I don't need to lug around the past with me. It's honestly led me on the path of wanting to be more fiscally responsible which has brought me to your channel. As general advice from my journey -- Sentimental items are the hardest, obviously, and I am still working through them (or have put them aside for now). But it absolutely wowed me how much of my stuff actually sparked no emotion or had no purpose really. Some items even made me feel negatively. I think let your heart be your guide on this one.. and absolutely don't get rid of items that you love, even if you can't rationally justify them. If you love it, it serves a purpose. -- do think about displaying it or giving it a place of honor though.

Chelsea, you seemed very genuine, vulnerable, and humble in this video. It’s apparent that this decluttering was significant to you. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This is on my to do list before the end of 2019.

Paring down my wardrobe was my first step to becoming a minimalist! I watched Jennifer L Scott’s ted talk on 10 item wardrobe. Super inspiring! I have a very small wardrobe now and absolutely love it. Like you said, I love and feel good in every item. I was also able to give away my dresser and store all my clothes and shoes in my closet and nightstand. I also put away my clothes every time I’m done wearing them instead of throwing them on a chair. My room feels peaceful now.

So glad you made this video. I started decluttering my stuff and my kids stuff before spring and I feel stuck! Watching these types of videos helps in pushing through with the plan. I hope to end this year with a lot lesser things I keep that I don’t need.

14:39 LOUDER FOR THE TECH BROS IN THE BACK, CHELSEA! *~clap~* YUS. She speaks the truth.

I did a huge declutter of my closet earlier this year. I became a minimalist over the past year and have decluttered my life. I have now a one in one out policy where if I buy a new top then I have to declutter a top in order to avoid clutter in my closet. I share a lot of tips and my journey on my channel :)

Yay for an “edited” or “curated” wardrobe (and many capsule wardrobe people would describe their wardrobes the way you did - A team only!!). I did this awhile ago and it’s so freeing! I’m glad to hear you’ve found this feeling too. Also, lol, we minimalists are slowly converting you... maybe you still just think minimalism has to look a certain way? ;)

Great video, thanks! I did a serious decluttering a couple of years ago I try to buy only "A" items that work in various ways in the closet, work and play. I only have a certain number of hangers to hang items. Once I hit that max then I know there is a problem, that is why it is so important to have clothes that do double duty. I had to also get comfortable in my style and learn to wear things differently (this is still a learning opportunity) to be more creative, not get bored and think I need more....

I'm really enjoying this channel. Both relatable and useful, without being over the top.

I love that you made spreadsheets about your closet items. That makes two of us. 😁

Wow! What a clear, articulate vid that captured so much of my own experience & feelings. Closet decluttering, & the resulting “happy high”, just begets more of the same in other areas. Thank you.

After watching many many videos, you were able to crystallize the essence and a reason for closet organizing that makes most sense to me. Thank you for that!

Chelsea! I love how you organize your videos and your speaking voice! You get straight to the point and your stories are always interesting. I’ve watched so many of your videos on TFD, even if I already understand the concepts. Your presentation skills are a breathe of fresh air in the KZfaq world! Keep it up!

You are totally the type of girl friend I need in my life. The one that keeps you accountable and talks about goals and improvement instead of people. I appreciate your social content and absolutely love that it feels like we are chatting! (It's all so easy-going and friendly.) I just cleaned out my closet a few days ago, and I do this every 2 months or so, and I love talking to my friends about these types of things. I created a Pinterest board of "looks" and then used that board to find items to replicate these looks to create my "A team" wardrobe and avoid purchasing anything that isn't on that list - it keeps me accountable and I love it!

Thank you so much!! I love the way you explained the whole idea of the declutter and the clothes you keep.

Developing ones own style is a big part of growing up. If it helps people keep a minimal/"curated" wardrobe and save some cash, all the better.

I absolutely LOVE de cluttering my wardrobe!

Yes to all of this! What a positive and inspiring way to deal with this "clothset crisis" that has become the bane of my existence! Thanks for reframing this concept!

Love this! I did this a few years ago and now do it in between the spring/summer and fall/winter seasons every year. The biannual clean out keeps me in check! 10/10 would recommend doing this in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets as well. ☺️

This is so timely for me. I just did a clean-out of my closet, but having heard this I think I need to go a bit deeper!

I really like the way she explains things. She seems more sensitive to different incomes than the attorney.

I’ve lost some weight so I’ve gotten to just totally turn over my closet. All my nice dresses, my sister is going to help me sell. I’ve donated my clothes that are in nice condition but don’t feel comfortable selling just today. The clothes with questionable integrity became rags or sewing material. Can’t wait to start buying new things I love.

Interesting approach to the process, and I bet you'll love having all A-level clothes. You'll be able to dress for any and all events with ease and less stress. Enjoy your new closet freedom! Alyssa Beltempo has good videos on creating different looks with a limited wardrobe and I'm amazed at her end results. She also takes certain pieces and styles them many different ways. I LOVE your earrings. Where did you get them and are they a recent purchase? (I hope so!).

This video is full of great insightful points! Saving it to watch again later when I’m thinking about shopping too!

I started decluttering my wardrobe (followed by everything else I owned) a year and a half ago after I moved and saw all of my clothes in a pile on my bed. In that process, I watched TONS of KZfaq decluttering videos, and I ended up reading Marie Kondo’s book, which I found helpful in dealing with all of the emotional and mental attachments I’d formed with the things I didn’t really want. All that being said, I really really enjoyed your take on this! You always seem to have a unique take or perspective on whatever you make videos about, and I’ve found it really helpful. Decluttering helped me reevaluate my relationship with my things, what I want out of an apartment, and what my style is. The biggest thing it lead to was me critically thinking about the clothes and other items I purchased, and the degree to which I want to participate in consumerist culture. I just stared a “low-buy” year, and I’m excited to see how not buying clothes and other non essentials changes my impulses.

I'm actually happy to have a lot of clothes. The "I have my own shop" feeling it's wonderful for me. And I have declutter like half of what I had two years ago. But 40% it's thrifted, 50% it's clothes my grandma gave me, and 10% it's stuff I bought bran new... The thing is, some doesn't fit me since I had my daughter, and I refuse to let go because I really want to have my body back and wear them again... But it's been two years !!! My other problem is that I'm learning to make my own clothes so I do need to make space for that. So yeah, you inspired me, but I need to make some other changes aswell

Of all decluttering videos, this one was the best! Thank you! Your words hit right through me, well explained and motivating :)

I did this a few weeks ago. Definitely recommend it. I was inspiring by Spark Joy and The Life Changing Magic of Tidying books. At first I thought the "does this spark joy" concept was a silly but I totally felt it as I was working on this

I loved this video and make me appreciate more things i want to have and use every day with love and greatness, thanks a lot Chelsea!

It's so good when you realise the value of paying someone to help you in certain aspects of your life that would/can go neglected because of time/energy/procrastination.

The problem is when I declutter I always get rid of things that ends up being the very thing I needed the next year. I did this with a velvet blazer. I hadn’t worn it in a couple of years, gave it away. Then last winter I had several occasions where this blazer would have been perfect. I also couldn’t find one to replace it. So I’m very hesitant to get rid of things. Instead I work on n buying less.

I've been whittling mine down over this past year. I'm at about 50% now. I would go through my entire wardrobe, get rid of things, and then go back again a couple of months later. It's exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. Good for you!

I've did this about two years ago and applied a lot of 5S principles into my closet, definitely do this it makes it so convenient. Even now, I realize there is still so much that needs be removed from there as once you get rid of somethings you realize there is so much you still don't actually use.

This video in a nutshell: Minimalism for non-minimalists.

I didn't go through all the steps outlined here but before I had finished watching I had a large shopping bag full of clothes that I'll give to a friend or donate. Thanks so much for the encouragement. I gathered up all my clothes that don't fit quite right (I have narrow shoulders and I find a lot of dresses hang off me even if I love them and buy them anyway). I also gathered up skirts and dresses i don't wear because I feel they're a bit too short for my liking. Finally, any t shirts or clothes that I just don't really wear or love when I wear went in the bag also. All up I collected around 20 pieces. This is about the 5th time I've done this this year and have bought hardly any clothes to replace what I give away. I'll try again in a month or so to declutter even more. I just don't have a whole day today to pile everything up on my bed.

Tip #1 was xlnt - I’d never thought of using someone else to help me sell good items. Brilliant. I gave away heaps of clothes, shoes, handbags to op shops (goodwill) during my prep to move to a smaller home. I LOVE spreadsheets. I don’t have access to excel (sniff !) so do them manually. Always enjoy your videos. I’m 51 and financially literate yet always learn something from you. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺😀😀😀

Great video. Am also obsessed with the teal window trim, might copy that in my new apartment.

In all seriousness... I have never thought to use excel for wardrobe planning and once I could see everything it felt SO MUCH EASIER! Thanks so much!👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏💕💓💕💕💓💕💓

This is soooooo helpful and inspiring! I’m going to work on my closet this weekend!!

So inspired by this video! I’m also on vacation now, I’m gonna do this when I get back!

I tried every single thing on when I decluttered and if it didn’t feel awesome, it had to go. I also hung everything with the hangers facing backwards, when I wear something and put it back I hang it forwards. Going to reassess in 6 months and see what I haven’t worn at all.

I absolutely agree with you, and I love decluttering my closet. I love your channel. 💕 Thank you

I have this tendency to buy things that are cute or edgy, but dont look good on me. I am aware of it, but it is still a struggle.

A very intelligent video on downsizing one's wardrobe. I've watched many videos as I'm dramatically downsizing my wardrobe. Thanks so much for this.

Hey, I just did this over the weekend, and then this video popped up. I don't think I did quite as good a job as you describe, but I can say that I already feel a difference in my mornings and overall mood. Thanks for the great video, as usual.

I really love the videos of Chelsea! Keep up the good work!

I just cleaned out my closet (4 bags to the thrift store, 2 in the bin, 1 to a friend) and the tactic I used was asking myself when the last time I wore something was. If I hadn't worn it all winter or all last summer, it was out. I also got rid of everything that didn't fit me - it wasn't worth keeping around to shame me for not losing weight. I also know that now that I buy most of my clothes second hand, if I find I really need something, it's not going to cost the world to get it, which made me feel less guilty for throwing this out - I could avoid the sunk cost fallacy.

I pared down my wardrobe significantly before going to grad school overseas, going through my stuff and asking if I cared about it enough to either replace something in my luggage or pay to have more space was a good test. I started by looking at what I really wore and it turned out I stumbled into a uniform of sorts. Some people think it's boring that easily 80% of my wardrobe is duplicates, but I like it. The way you're talking about only having things that matter to you is exactly how I approach minimalism. And as a New Yorker where you get actual summers and winters you probably have some kind of simplified capsule wardrobe system already, all it means is having seasonal clothes separated.

I Marie Kondo'd my closet when I first read her book...probably 2-3 years ago at this point. I got rid of SO MUCH STUFF that I was holding onto either because it had sentimental value, it didn't fit right, or like you said, it was a bolder item that looked awesome on the rack but I wasn't really comfortable in. I don't know if I got 75%, but I bet I let go of half my closet. It was such a relief and it taught me a lot about what I really want out of my clothes. Now I'm feeling inspired to go through my closet again, since it's been awhile since I last decluttered.
