My best tip: If I am unsure if I should de-clutter an item, I wear it to work that week. By the end of the day it has become clear if I like it or don't. Almost always I de-clutter it. If you don't know you love it more than likely you shouldn't keep it!

@shannontorrens1 3 жыл бұрын

That's a great idea! I am going to try that soon for the things I wear less often.

@katherinelook3676 3 жыл бұрын

That's an excellent tip! You don't even have to suffer through a day at work, I will often just wear an item for a short walk and it becomes clear why I don't wear it and I can let it go.

@KNRK379 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! I do that too! I make myself wear it, then if becomes obvious why I never wore it before haha!

I've decluttered my closet 3 times so far. There's one blouse I got in Italy that is special because of where I bought it. I've only worn it once in 6 years. Today I put it on again, and took it off. Today I am going to part ways with this blouse after reading from a commenter "Would I buy this right now". The answer is no. Arrivederci blouse!

Yes! We evolve!! I gave away this pink beach dress last year and was regretting it just now because I now have to buy a replacement for our upcoming belated honeymoon. But you know what? I hate pink! Especially on me, it washes me out. I got the dress for free and used it. But the one I'm going to replace it with something of my taste today.

I love wearing dresses in summer. Have lots of sundresses but I only keep 4 dressy dresses. Two dark for funeral...1 for summer, 1 for winter. And 2 for weddings or other celebrations. 1 for summer, 1 for winter. I dont have a lot of room but have a huge extended family. So fortunately weddings happen often, unfortunately funerals also happen often.

Pretend you're moving to a different country. What clothes would you take? It also works for decluttering items other than clothes.

I love that idea! Since I have moved to another country I know that does work.

I did just that, but it wasn't exactly pretend - I moved to the US, "lived" there for a month and came back to Brazil. A very expensive, somewhat stupid way to declutter, but it was very effective.

For "fantasy clothes" I made myself wear them. Then I could see if I actually liked them or not. I either ended up with a cool piece that I actually loved or I felt no guilt at all about letting it go. Often the fantasy clothes turned out to be uncomfortable or not suited to my lifestyle as a preschool teacher & Mom of a young kid. Now I know!

Lots of great tips in the video! I would add that you may not need to get the stuff from the laundry before you start as you already know those things are things you actually wear (unless you wore them and didn’t feel great in them then you can possibly let them go after they are back out of the laundry)

The revisiting is what I do. I also pay attention to how I feel when I put on each item of clothing. If I don’t feel awesome in. If I don’t feel awesome I don’t reach for it.

The best time for me to declutter & organize my closet is when i'm way behind on the laundry. All my everyday keepers are in there (in the laundry room) so all thats left in the closet & drawers is stuff that doesn't get used and needs some purging.

@traciannveno 2 жыл бұрын

I have a fear of not affording to replace what I get rid of. So I pretended and gave myself a simple budget each month and saw I could easily buy more then what I needed for my life right now. I also noted places I could go to get discounts on nice items. I think its a good idea to ask oneself… what am I afraid of right now? Then combat it, because there is nothing to be afraid of.

@kwlancaster1804 3 жыл бұрын

I pull out only 5 to 10 items at a time. It’s less overwhelming, and if I’m interrupted, I am not left with a big mess. My favorite questions: Does this fit within 2 sizes? Do I feel good in this? Would I buy this right now? Do I have something similar? If I regret getting rid of it, is it replaceable?

Hi ....I am from Nevada and I am new to your channel 😊 The one thing I do to help me with my closet is I turned all my hangers around. Now as I wear my clothes I put them in the normal way. Every June I go through and take out everything that didn't get worn and turn all the hangers around again to start over.

My problem is always going up and down in sizes. I am working on shrinking again, (WW), so I am going through my closet again and just packing up the smaller sizes. It makes me sad to see them right now, so I am packing them up. If I decide to wear them again, I will get rid of larger sizes as a shrink (hopefully) & pull from the bins for smaller sizes again.

I so relate to this! I usually gain weight before and during winter and then shed during Spring and summer, the difference being around 20 pounds... I only accepted this recently at 42, I guess that is my destiny. I therefore keep clothes from size 6 up to 12... Wonder if any of you experience sth like that. Not so good for skin, belive me...

@susan5661 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Shannon, our closets are for sure one of the harder areas to tackle. For me, After the easy obvious gotta goes, I now switch all my hangers backwards for the upcoming 2 seasons. When I wear it and want to keep it, it goes on front facing hanger. If not, out it goes. It really works and is super easy.

Great advice and tips. I did have my wardrobe pretty well figured out; until we moved to a State with 4 seasons, including very hot summers, and snow in the winter. Take a bit more seasonal clothing. One tip I have done on items I am afraid I will regret decluttering, is to pack them in a box or tote, and label. If you didn't miss or get into that box to retrieve anything in 6 months, donate or recycle.

@shannontorrens1 3 жыл бұрын

That's a good idea Jan! Living in a state with 4 seasons is a lot harder than a place that really has 2 seasons.

@taniayoungson5614 3 жыл бұрын

I would sometimes hang onto items that weren't my style anymore. The reason is...I feel youthful, but in reality I'm not. Lol. I wish I could pull off the same look I had in my 30's. But sadly, nope. And I don't want to feel like I have to wear clothing that looks older than I feel. Does that make sense? I don't have a huge wardrobe, but I only declutter small amounts at a time. Just in case I end up with nothing to wear. But actually it's still items I don't reach for. This spring I bought myself several new items. I felt like I just had to embrace the size I'm in now. It has made a huge difference when I open the closet door. Love all your videos! And I agree with another commenter...your hair is beautiful, you look so youthful with your hair that length. Enjoy your day!

@shannontorrens1 3 жыл бұрын

I completely agree with what you said about age and clothes. I finally decluttered some really short shorts LOL. It just felt like it wasn't right for my age and I rarely wore them because of that. Thank you for being here! I hope you have a great day.

@pappyone6062 3 жыл бұрын

@Taniayoungson you’re right These are all great tips! I do t call it declutter. I just call it getting rid of stuff I don’t like it use for various reasons. That way it’s not a big chore. If you want more style advice and the encouragement to do that for yourself check out Christie Ressels channel and podcast. She is a professional stylist in Canada. It will change the way you think about these things. She is truly inspirational, and at the same time practical. Really incredible!

I declutter every now and again, but it's amazing to see how much I still have left. >.< It's definitely an ongoing process, and each time I get rid of things that I might have chosen to keep the last time. Some items just weren't needed anymore and I occasionally think back to them, but with most I was glad to let them go. I love seeing a bag full of things that are no longer taking up unnecessary space in my life, some which will be enjoyed by someone else! I'm also careful with what I buy, making sure my new clothes will be worn often and actually match clothes I already have.
