Started walking a year ago. I walk 60 minutes everyday on treadmill. Im now addicted to it. Last years clothes are now too big. I went from a 6 to a 2! I feel much better at 61 than I did at 60. Happy to get rid of. I sell most items online. If they’re still in style you can sell most everything. It’s a lot of fun, and gives me extra cash for new.

We need a video of current styles with those of us who like to cover our upper arms even in the summer 😊

Gen x kid here, my real graphic tees with anime, art, and real concerts I went to live forever under my blazers. My students watch for them!

I'm 52. I vibe with everything mentioned, except for the graphic tshirts. I have concerts shirts that are vintage and aren't going anywhere.

I started putting my Christmas party sweaters and nye dresses in with my Christmas decor in the attic 😅

Regarding trying things on to see if they look good on you. If you can, I REALLY recommend setting up a cheap tripod (mine was $30 on Amazon) and snapping some pics to look back at. I had a few pieces I was going to sell because I just felt like they looked “meh” on me in the mirror, but when I looked at the pics I was like “Oh my gosh, that dress actually looks really good on me” 😆. And the reverse can also happen… where something you think looks pretty good… in pics… not so much. You can just get more angles and a more “full” view of yourself in a pic then you can in the mirror. 😘. Love your channel always Anna!

Anna, you mentioned those spaghetti strap tank tops that we were wearing years back. I love these for under sheer blouses and tops and under blazers and jackets. They are a great underpinning. I wouldn’t wear them on their own, but as an underpinning, they are great. Especially for travel, they pack really thin and I can have a clean white tank top everyday.

The main thing that helped me wear my clothes and not feel overwhelmed, is by packing away the winter clothes come spring and summer. It frees up so much space. Same with packing away summer clothes for winter. I put all the clothes I wear on cruises in their own container. Cruise/resort clothes and shoes are a totally different monster.

For the cold shoulder tops, if you still love the top you can have the sleeves removed (at a tailor or maybe you have a friend/family member who can sew) and wear it as a sleeveless top. I changed a few of mine and they turned out great!

I live in Florida and we cruise a bunch. I love a nice kimono over a casual strappy maxi dress. It adds a whimsical light weight cover for the girls that want to cover their arms, but don't want to pull out a balero or heavier style of shoulder cover. I still love a kimono in my plus sized 47 year old hot Florida beachy world.

I collect kimonoes...( Im up to 87)But wear with my gauze maxi dresses... here in fl its the only way i can layer or be "arm" modest without suffocating in my clothes... But at my age i get away with being "dated" so yea my kimonos are and will always be in style... ❤ Some of your tips though are helpful... ❤❤❤

I know why KZfaq creators do it, but I have to say I am so fed up with having to hear "I don't want to offend anyone, you wear what you want, I am not saying you have to stop wearing it, if you love it, wear it" and all those "please and explain" phrases inserted after every opinion. If only the world had not gone all offended and indignant.

Mr. Clean magic eraser is wonderful for cleaning shoes, especially leather athletic shoes. You can't go wrong with a breton stripe in a classic fit, also a classic white or black crew-neck t-shirt in both long & short sleeves. For jeans, Levi 501, classic strait-leg fit, NO distressing, that's just not not for me. Ballet flats, cap-toe espadrilles, & classic Keds sneakers. My 'three words'... Simple, classic, comfortable.

I had a favourite hoody and after washing it I saw there was still a stain so I decided to just wear it in the house. I did this for a few weeks, washing it as needed, and I noticed that after multiple washings, the original stain had washed out! So glad I never got rid of it!!

I would like to just announce that 6 mins into this video I have a great big box of stuff I'm just not into right now, but have felt guilty throwing away. Thank you for giving me permission to make a box to put away instead of having to give everything away. Brilliant! TYSM! Been stuck with an overflowing double set of closets for a couple years.

I am watching this to know what not to buy or wear lol One thing I have gotten rid of are clothes with fabrics that are not comfortable. I am all in now with natural fabrics that are breathable. Menopause hot flashes taught me a lot lol I am thankfully past the flashes, but it made me transition to good well made clothes lol

I watch to learn what’s out of style! Please don’t hold back ❤

9:50 the spaghetti strap tank top thing I disagree with. I don’t wear it as a top layer but as an undershirt or to add a modesty panel to low cut shirts.

Another clear, kind and useful video! I agree with all your closet edits and would like to throw these ideas out there for consideration: 1. Extend the use of sequin tops by wearing them under a chiffon layer. The chiffon softens the boldness of the sequins and seeing the unexpected sparkle is fun. Sumer sequins are fun at every event that has fireworks regardless of the casual nature of the event. My red sequin top is my 4th of July at the beach favorite with a chambray shirt or jean jacket. 2. Repurpose the spaghetti strap tanks, short-shorts and kimono dusters as pj's and robes. Limit the quantity retained because "saving" clothes to repurpose is quite a rabbit hole. I like to wear freshly washed PJs every night so a few extras come in handy. I also repurposed one or two printed cotton jersey dresses that are good for lounging and sleeping in. They are in good shape and I don't mind sleeping in tie-dye or last year's floral print. I like your kimono as a beach coverup idea too, but then it depends on how dated the print is. When I tried it, I just felt I could do better in an old white men's shirt or my chambray shirt. I don't know if I should be proud of this, but I can honestly say that I disposed of most of the out-of-style pieces due to staining them. Somehow, big boobs are just a magnet for lunch stains in spite of pre-treating my laundry. Maybe I need to invest in washable scarves that I can tie to my purse after eating. Ha-ha. That's my new trend. 😬😂🤣😭

Your black outfit with the red lipstick looks GREAT! 🤩

Great video Anna! Ditching the prints for classic solids such a simple good idea. I've always had loads of prints and you are correct, they get dated faster than anything. That was great when I owned retail stores for 30 years and had to represent the store....LOL....but those days are over. I'm learning how to keep it classic, fit and fabric feel right, and with a stylish edge from videos on your channel. Kudos fellow Florida chick!

Loved this video! Thanks 😊Fabrics are also a good way to help decide polyester has to go!

Thank you so much for this video!!! I’ve been sick and in bed for basically two years. Now I’m so confused with how to jump back into fashion. I’ve been more interested in knowing what is clearly out of style and not coming back than what is trendy for this season. So this video is gold! You’re the best!

Hard truths. Sitting with what’s left is solid advice. Intentional next steps. The kick from the buy is powerful but I have a lot of trend led pieces in my closet that I’ve been apparently buying for my fantasy self. Sitting with all of this. Thanks, Anna!

I love all my old printed button downs. I have some 20 years old +! I think because the style is so classic and 100% cotton, they work.

Happy Mother’s Day! Good encouragement to get organized. Following your suggestions should make getting ready in the morning easier. My closet currently looks like a mess ☹️

I absolutely agree with EVERYTHING you said! Truth!

Just like yellow washes you out, green does the same to me! I still kept some of green bottoms, but cannot wear anything green on top. Great video! Thank you for all the tips!😁

I’ve gotten into a habit of doing try ons every spring and fall when swapping out my clothes for the new season and getting rid of a few pieces and adding a few new pieces. I find it somewhat excited for the new season.

Excellent advice!! Well done!!

I do love your advice as you’re always kind and practical as well. Thank you for being informative and sweet ❤

Excellent coaching video! Great tips & encouragement throughout. Thank you Anna!

The spaghetti strap tank is giving America's Next Top Model Season 1.😂

I’m loving this version of Anna video- with the kind but firm reminder that if people are going to be offended, they are free to stop the video. Love that! Too many people offended over silly things these days! In every video, you affirm that we should wear what makes us feel beautiful….so we should heed that advice, NOT GET OFFENDED, and move on with our days! 🩷💜

Your ditch-it suggestions are spot-on. I did a closet purge last weekend and tossed a ton of stuff in most of these categories because they seem dated to me too. I've never liked ripped jeans or jeggings, so I don't own those, lol.

Perfect time of year for this advice and helpful tips. I have to be so strong shopping not to be tempted buying prints. You are so right. They are the first to loose their charm! Solids and stripes are much more timeless and easily matched. Thanks for your videos...love them!

Thank you for all your great information! Just love your videos!!

Useful advice👍Thanks😊

I feel better now after watching this video, you more or less confirmed all of the things I thought! I've been doing a serious closet clean out already and this is a help, thank you!

Thank you so much!

This video was super helpful thank you so much

Perfect timing! Was getting ready to record a decluttering video and just applied the “Anna Reid” process. Will post next week!

I do this checking and donation of my woodrow every autumn and spring time. It is a general cleaning and checking as you have mentioned in this video. It's very helpful, I do feel better after that. Thank you very much for your interesting video, well done 👍❤

Fabulous video! As you were talking I was picturing things in my closet that I KNOW I won't wear again or is too small or out of style. Now to go edit the closet.

Anna, You've touched on nearly every area I needed help in. Thank you. I really appreciate how you provide suggested alternatives when you are making a recommendation to remove. That's so helpful!

so glad I found you! epic advice on what to donate or trash!! now I need solid neutral basics ❤❤❤

I got rid a few items while listening to you! Thanks!

I’m lucky to have an extra closet so I can move things back and forth. I just bought my first linen vest thanks to your recommendations.

This is such a cathartic thing to do! I’m like you - I had things in my closet that I loved when I bought them, and never wore them. It was hard to move them to a “give to someone else to love” pile, but the visual clutter in my closet made me sad! Thank you for doing such a thoughtful video. ❤

Loved this video super helpful! I hope you had a great Mother’s Day 😊

You are so funny! I don’t have any outdated pieces, and still have a full closet! lol I keep updating my wardrobe as you grow older and donate clothing always! 😅😅😅😅

Great video on tips of getting rid of clothes to donate. Definitely chose some clothes from the past that should go to a charity or shelter. Hope you’re enjoying your Mother’s Day!! 😊❤️

This video is helpful, thank you!!

I just did this over the weekend and I space bagged the sweaters that I will not be using. I live in South Florida and I noticed that I am regressing into being lazy with my wardrobe. It was an eye opening experience. Love your videos and your make up is spectacular today.

Loved this video. I like hearing about what's not in fashion.

Kudos for you suggesting to just sit with our stuff. So many want to rush out and re purchase!

Hi. I’m going to Try Ag1. Ordered it. Thanks for the recommendation

Very good concept of a video! Thank you🙏🪻🙏

I sure am not a yellow person too. I am a winter and it is so true for me Thanks for the video. I needed it! Lol. I think about those styles that are going to come back around.

Love your advices!

I agree with you Anna! Take those items out and revisit them later ❤

Fantastic 🙌love this video thank you 💕🙌

Thanks for your great video! Even if I love clearing out my closet (and do it regually) your list gave me great tips. Thanks! /Marie from Sweden

Great video with lots of good suggestions. You should probably make a video like this once every 6 months; it’s motivating me to do a closet cleanse.

Love this video!

Clean before you store!

I love your hair in this video!❤

This was the first video of yours I have watched , I love it. I'm obsessed with linen at the moment, linen shirts, wide legged pants and dresses. I've never been a print type of person apart from the odd dress, and the last time I wore ripped jeans was more than 40 years ago 😂. I love the way you presented this video, I could see you in a movie like Sex in the City, great sense of humour and you look stunning. I'll be watching more of your videos, thank you.

I thought I couldn’t pare down my closet any more…but your video today showed me I have a way to go! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this list!! We sometimes get blind to what's in our closet

Excellent Video💐

I've owned probably two graphic tees in my entire lifetime. Never really liked them. Just purchased a light-denim A-line maxi dress that I am absolutely in love with! Looking forward to wearing it.

Great video!

My video is up using your method Anna! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Saving for later! ❤️

Hi 👋. I found ruanas and kimonos last summer, and what I like about them is that they can gussy up a solid (otherwise boring) skirt and Tshirt, or, in my case, a navy blue and otherwise indistinct Tshirt dress. I use them to add a statement piece to bland solids, like a solid black tank dress. A ruana or kimono can be a beautiful piece to add interest, whimsy, and a touch of femininity to an otherwise unremarkable background neutral. I think you have some great suggestions, and don't mind when you say something is out, 'cuz that helps!

Thank you, Mama 🤣😂 I need to hear this on repeat. I REALLY like to save things.🙄

Capri pants aka pedal pushers. I LOVE them when they are the right length.

Happy mothers day Anna💐🤗

Always ❤ your videos

I like to pair my ripped slim fit jeans with a chunky loafer and an embroidered vest (or something granny core) I like the contrast. I don’t have anything overly ripped.. just ripped out at the knee mainly

I’m happy to see all these trends go with the exception of kimonos. Damn, I loved mine! It was a good run! 😂

Happy mothers day Anna 💕😊

Anna- what brand and fabric white tee is your favorite? Thank you for your video!

Great Anna, I’m feeling pretty smug as I don’t really own any of the items you said to ditch 😇😂. I do have one cold shoulder top but I only wear that in the garden when it’s hot (not often here in the UK, sadly). Have gradually been replacing my skinny jeans, but have kept some to tuck into long boots. Always love your videos and style tips ❤️ x

I go through my closet every season. Some older clothes remain because they are still ok. I recently did get rid of several embellished tops that I rarely wore but kept for some dumb reason😂. And some dated shoes. I probably won’t buy anymore florals because they really date quickly and they no longer appeal to me. Loved this video and your sense of humor.

Hi Anna great tips. But I would make exception for certain graphic tees. I never was a fan of them, but I had Anne bing sweatshirt with brigit bardot picture, I loved it so much, so I found white t shirt the same print. I love it it dress down certain outfits, gives some edginess, without looking outdated🤔🤪 I actually going to wear with my Prada sheer skirt, instead of Prada tank top, which is little bit too literal. Well I do like the top, and I might still get it, but the graphic t shirt, I think more interesting. Ah I always loved dresses, I actually try to learn to wear more two pieces, cause the dress it’s just too memorable. Even I have a lot of them, still there is not so much you can do, to make it different. That’s why I got Prada skirt. I also want to get Dior black skirt from last fall winter collection. It’s midi it’s more a line. Can be styled so many ways, especially for SF, all year long… the rest I agree. P.s if you really like yellow, you can find the tone, that would look gorgeous on you. Those cooler yellows, on me look horrible, but when I put that sunflower more warm yellows, omg, one of the best colors on me. I am blond too, light to medium warm tone. Have a blessed day🙏❤️

Im saving all my stuff

What is your favorite t-shirt brand? I like the way the shoulders and arms look in the one you just modeled. Excellent tip on prints. Thank you bunches for this post.

I’ve got a pair of jeggings that are overly ripped/shredded and have fake whiskers. That trifecta definitely needs to go!!! 😂 thank you for the reminder!!

I agree with overly ripped jeans, I have 1 pair with 2 teeny tiny distressed rips on them, I feel so cool in them though, LOL! Love that lipstick on you, what is the shade?🤩

How do you space out taking your vitamins? Morning routine and night routine and which ones do you combine?

I really need to go through my closet again. I don’t have any of the things you said were not great. But I do have way too much in my closet. I have probably six or seven Buc-ee’s t shirts I bought in the last few years. I wear them around the house. I don’t like to wear them out in public. I have most solid colors. I’m not sure if I have any prints in my closet. I never wear them if I do. It got chilly here today. And I was glad to still have a sweatshirt in my closet. In fact, I have a few. And I think they will stay. But I know I have too many shirts. My husband tells me all the time. I could wear a different shirt everyday for a year and not wear the same one twice. I think that’s an exaggeration. But I know I have too much.

Anna pls share what lipstick you are wearing, it's beautiful!

Yup, need to do another closet clean out .. I have a bunch of print shirts that I never wear 😛

I love watching your videos you're informative & funny. ...I do have a style question: Is it IN or OUT of style to tie at the waist a button down cotton shirt?

Can you make a video on what’s in for spring summer?

I just put away a bunch of cold shoulder shirts. Lots are hardly worn. My graphic shirts i wear to supermarket or walking dogs but not for a night out.

It’s all relevant. I thought your beige waistcoat and your short shorts looked really great on you. Quite classic……..even classic changes. I am very old and live in a roomy house so I kept good quality clothes or those that were in very good condition, had a good label, or plenty of wear I kept. For the last four years I have been in and out of hospital…having my upstairs shop has contributed greatly to my recovery. I can’t get out much but getting something from my ‘upstairs shop’ has been vital to my recovery. If I am still interested in what people are wearing and what I can use from what I already have has kicked me back in to today, provided a lot of interest and excitement. It may be only in the home but I have people coming and going all the time and I enjoy having a foot in today without spending any money. I won’t be written off and clothes are the signifier if you are ready to let go.

I really like crisp shirts on women this season. So I am wearing them (luckily I like ironing). And buttonless polo shirts. I follow a simple rule: if I don't love an item, I dump it. I was in Nice on Wednesday, and felt very happy in wide leg linen pants with a polo shirt. And bought a pure linen top in a natural white colour, sleeveless with a draped round neck - very French
