It’s one thing to undertake a massive clearout but to try everything on and film it takes the job to a whole other level. Congratulations!

Phew , I felt exhausted for you! But well done for how much you achieved! Not an easy task, I even felt a little sadness, but I'm not sure why. My trouble has always been buying, usually a dress, that doesn't quite fit and telling myself, it will be fine when I lose a little weight. Which has never happened.

Helen you are a Monsoon fairy godmother! Great taste in clothes, well done getting the courage to be ruthless!!! Word of the week.

Well done Helen. I was sweating just watching you. I did this to my wardrobe after I retired and realised I was buying clothes for a life I wasn’t living! It took a while to get there but now under control. I now just have mini clear outs. Its so much easier to get dressed in the morning with so much less to choose from!!!!

It doesn’t matter if people say you have to many clothes it’s up to you what you have take care have a great weekend.

I can relate to everything Helen. Kiss it goodbye and let it go. Then think mmm..maybe hold onto it. No, be ruthless Helen. I'm going to do mine this weekend now, you've inspired me to get it sorted. 😊

Wow…..great fashion show Helen! I loved the insight into your closet and can’t wait for the next two rails to follow! Lol My husband tells people that I keep the Evri couriers in our area in work and that I’m responsible for most of the stock in local charity shops…Hee Hee… I’m trying to be better but I do love shopping!

Oh Helen, you’ve done great. I get so emotionally involved with clothes and really struggle then to let them go. But seeing you gives me hope I can prune my overly full wardrobes, thank you, you’re an inspiration. Xx

Helen, I love you for not making me feel so bad. A chap I worked with told someone else in the office he had been there for six months and not seen me in the same outfit, after retiring it was a nightmare getting rid of stuff, and like you said your style does change. When you do see the light at the end of the tunnel you will be jumping for joy. I believe if you are a clothes lover this excess comes with he territory. Onwards and upwards girl I would like to buy loads of your clothes especially the pale pink and duck egg blue sequin tops. I hope I don’t get beaten on Vinted for these tops. GOOD LUCK with your declutter. 🤪🤪

I love a big clear out! I use Vinted loads and now have a rule - 1 in, 1 out! - lots to Charity, lots on Vinted. Well done 👏🏼 Marie Kondo helped me no end when we moved house - letting go of things that have fulfilled their purpose for me - and I use the ‘joy’ question now too x

You are going to feel so good after this clear out!☘️🇮🇪

Blimey - I started watching this at 6pm whilst having my dinner - and it's still running!! That's a lot of wardrobe space you're freeing! Well done you! xx

Well done. I am ruthless - if I haven’t worn it in a year out and goes and every time I buy something new I get rid of something. I have a small wardrobe and one chest of drawers. Works for me😊😊

this was SO kind to share! such an inspiring vid!

What a marathon task,you must be exhausted after all that trying on,well done,you have inspired me to have a clear out ❤❤❤

Well done Helen that was a huge task. I love a good clear out and declutter and seeing the end result. When your clothes are organised you can actually see what you have. Some beautiful clothes that other women will really appreciate. Wishing I was a size 18 right now!

Thanks for doing this Helen, I have a couple of dresses I bought for weddings and they’ve just hung in the closet doing nothing but collecting ‘dust’ that I haven’t been able to part with but this was the ‘kick in the backside’ I needed to get them gone, so thank you 👍🏻. Have a good weekend hope the weather is nicer for you 😊 cheers - Wendy 🇨🇦

Think how happy the new owners (of these lovely items ) will be! You’ve been a good caretaker and remember, there are ALWAYS lovely new things out there! 😊❤

Helen keep the coral scalloped hem pattern dress you look fabulous in it definitely your colour , I hear the lower overhanging belly we have in our 60 s is called The Apron Flap! I say good morning to mine lol

Oh Helen , it was obvious to see how you were gearing yourself up to the task in hand & , it took you longer because you were filming and trying the clothes on that you are going to put for sale on Vinted . A marathon ! You made me chuckle a bit , by the way you kept approaching the camera and saying " Ruthless ! " also when you bit on the coat hanger ! I could see how much energy it took as you became more frazzled and your hair ruffled as the video came to an end ! But well done . It is one of those jobs that everyone hates but you will feel satisfied when the task is done and be floating on a Marie Kondo cloud !! I can sympathise as I had to do a lot of that last summer, clearing my Mum's bungalow and have been cleaning through it whilst it has been for sale . Did all the windows outside today & was a red sweaty, melting mess when I had done ! 😅 But kept saying to myself , if you don't do it , who will ! 😅😅 Well done Helen , enjoyed your video xxx

You’re such an inspiration Helen! What you said about liking clothes but knowing you won’t wear them again really struck a cord. It’s giving me the motivation to sort out my own wardrobe and your words will be ringing in my ears. Thank you ☺️X

You have done great - good cleanout -an inspiration for me to go to my closet!!😱

I thoroughly enjoyed that fashion parade Helen, can’t wait for the next one

Just finished my whole closet, it took two weeks with a few breaks. I donated two car fulls and threw out about 15 big garbage bags, and now it feels so good! What a project that was. And it's still almost full LOL. Don't know how it fitted in before.

Hi Helen, good for you...well done! We are in the middle of renovating our master-bdrm and I've done the same thing...I couldn't believe the clothes I still had with the tag still on...which of course made it a very easy decision to get rid of! 😊Good Luck...I'm sure you won't have a problem selling them! Look forward to rack #2 clear out! I also want to say thank you for the bonus fashion show & taking the time videoing it! Have a wonderful weekend! Take care. Kathy x 💖

So many beautiful things Helen, who ever decides to rehome them will be very lucky!

Great job! Amazing how together you still looked after all that try on! I try on two outfits and I’m done for the day. Very much enjoy your videos, thank you.

I too buy clothes for my wardrobe lol don’t we all xx thank you for your honesty in your past choices and reasons for letting things go. I’m sure it will have motivated many xx

Well done Helen, I've just taken loads to the charity shop ❤

Hellllloooo Helen,well done you!!!!!Is like they say it begins with one step ,and you’ve made multiple of those today .I do cull my wardrobe quite often when I swop over seasons and bring summer clothes down and put winter stuff back in the loft .Great video to watch I’m sure there are many many women OMG that’s me !!!! .See you in your next video,great weekend.x

Phew that was a huge job and well done. There were some lovely items and I hope you sell them all. Now it is vintage items. Thanks for letting us have a peek ❤😊

Dear Helen, I know exactly how you’re feeling as regards a wardrobe de clutter. In this country, we have a definite changeover between seasons so it certainly helps to decide what has been worn and the items which haven’t been taken off the hangers at all. However, there’s so much sentimentality and ‘what ifs’ attached to my pieces of clothing that I find the task of getting rid of things so hard.We have no charity shops or car boot sales so I’ve given many things to charity bazaars in aid of sick and stray animals but even they have become thin on the ground since the pandemic. I respect your ‘ruthless’ tactics and hopefully, you’ll find others who will enjoy your lovely items as much as you have. ❤️🥰

Hi Helen I'm so glad I'm not the only clothes hoarder. You have inspired me, so I'm going to have a "ruthless" clearout too. 😊😊 xx

Congratulations Helen, you win my admiration for getting into and out of all those dresses, shirts, etc. I get sweaty just watching you from Arizona, where we are celebrating temps under 110!

Well done Helen! You've truly inspired me to do the same. I'm not going to say how many wardrobes of clothes I have (let's just say we are on a par), but a lot of the clothes are from when I used to work and no longer wear - so they've got to go! I'm going to be ruthless too!! Well done for another great video!

Its a daunting job sorting things out, its amazing what we accumulate over the years. 😊😊

This is a job I’ve been putting off for ages. It’s very true, I buy lots of clothes and then just go to the same usual dozen or so items. Good advice Helen…feeling motivated now…gawd, a busy week ahead but focusing on how great I will feel when I’m all done and organised. Thanks Helen, great video as usual x

Can’t wait for your Vinted to be ready , I’ve got my eye on some things 😂

Well done you Helen ,👍 my wardrobes are full to bursting ,just can't face the effort😊 all the clothes you are selling are lovely so they will sell,easily, As usual I really enjoyed your video 💓

Wow.. Some lovely pieces.. Especially interested in the Monsoon fairy Dress!! The trouble is I have a vision in my head... But it doesn't always transpire 😢.. And I do love a bargain 😮

Well done Helen, you are an inspiration. Ruthless has always been a favourite word - when applied to others sorting out - not quite so easy on myself!! Ive a complete wardrobe of clothes for 3 sizes (14,16 & 18) as my weight has fluctuated up and down over the years and post menopause. Ive now kept 12-14 for 2 years and you've inspired me to apply the 'Helen Ruthless' lens on myself. Like you I've beautiful stuff, especially from my Corporate Barbie office days ( I work from home full time post Covid, so work wear is very relaxed) but following your lead Im 'going in' with suitcases to fill for the charity shop. In Australia its just too much bother to photo, measure, describe and put up on site, then pack and post etc, for a very few dollars per item, so Charity shop can get the benefit. Looking at my dressing room and overflow wardrobes in bedrooms, I realise I have a coat and jacket fetish - I mean how did that happen in a hot country??? The coat and jacket wardrobe may be one for when Mr Boozle is not around!!!😅 Keep up the great work, its sounding like you've started something 😂❤ Again Helen, thanks for all your efforts, love your channel, you are a breath of fresh air.

It does make you feel better, I have been doing this gradually since I retired. My wardrobe has had a major refresh as I no longer need work clothes, my haul was so much smaller than yours🤣🤣 I really liked the yellow dress on you, I had a similar version from Next & it was inexpensive but so useful. Keep up the good work you are entertaining ❤

Wow, Helen! That was great! Good for you to go through all of that and share it with us! I felt exhausted just watching you! I have several bags of clothing, shoes, etc that I cleared out months ago just sitting in my closet. Thanks for the kick in the bum I needed to finish the job. Blessings from California XXX

I’m delighted someone else’s wardrobe if full!!! I find it hard to get rid of clothes so really enjoyed the video. Loads of people have too many things to wear. You are just like the rest of us. Looking forward to your next video. Take care

The clothes you’re selling seem so modern and attractive. They make my clothes seem so old. I must get rid of them. I find it the hardest of things to do though. But you have inspired me. 😊😊

HB. Well done, Helen, it’s a mammoth task clearing out a wardrobe. I’m glad I am not the only one to look at things and think they are lovely but for some reason I don’t pick them. I feel inspired - but this may change in the morning!

Hi Helen. Well done, that's an achievement. It's so hard to let go. I had a good clear out not long ago. A good tip I picked up is when you buy one item get rid of one item. I think we all go back to our favourites. I also think if I didn't wear it last year, I won't wear it this year so it goes. Good luck, you've done well so far x

Well done Helen I need to have a good clear out too 😳.💕

Gosh I'm exhausted after that and that's just watching. 😮 Great that you are being so decisive and having a good old clear out. I'm sure others will love having a shop in your wardrobe. I'm a 14/16 so they would be too big on me otherwise I'd be tempted. Once you've completed your clearout you'll be able to see everything you have at a glance and will probably enjoy your wardrobe more. To maintain it you'll have to have a "new in", "one out" policy but somehow I can't see you doing that LOL😅

Helen I’m just very relieved your not a size 14. I would be broke by now. Beautiful well looked after pieces.I am laughing to myself thinking why do I pick something out of the wardrobe to say it’s got to go and then put it straight back 😂 well done you, your are going to make a lot of people happy.

Oh my, you've made an amazing start Helen! All the items look wonderful on you. I have to admit, I only wear 10% of my wardrobe most of the time. I used to try & declutter every season, but I've been under the weather for sometime now & never got round to it. I enjoyed watching this. Well done ❤x

Such beautiful clothes Helen but my daughter uses Vinted and people don’t make much on their clothes. She just sold a beautiful Monsoon dress I had for £3.50 or something! I bought it for about £60! But I’m happy for it to go to someone who is on a budget.

That last dress is gorgeous and you look terrific in it don’t sell you never know!

I felt for you doing this it can’t be easy getting rid of so many clothes. My issue parting with things is the regret I sometimes feel after they’ve gone (plus feeling I’ve wasted money on unworn items)

Well done Helen, what a task 😅 Never easy but worth it in the end especially if you sell them on, my daughter uses Vinted all the time and has great success. Good luck 😊

I’ve been minimising my belongings gradually over the past 9 years. Firstly when downsizing my home after retiring, then when my marriage broke down and I had sort out who had what. I’ve recently done (yet another) wardrobe purge and my mantra this time was, “If my wardrobe was on fire and I could save only what I loved, what would I choose?”. It’s surprising how often I’d previously kept fast fashion items that were poor quality but now I have only what I really like and is worth keeping. I’m sad about the evening dresses and work suits I chose to donate but only because I loved wearing them when I worked. There’s not much call for power suits and sequins in Eastbourne 😢. You’re doing a grand job Helen, it’s exhausting but so worth it xx

No skipping, enjoyed all of it. Must try and look for the vase!. Happy Easter. 🌹🌹

Well done Helen. Phew. Your sense of humour really warms the heart.

Hi 👋 Helen I feel for you I have 6 wardrobes to do 20 totes I’m hooked on clothes but I told my husband know more you done an amazing job feel proud I hope I have your strength 😊

You've inspired me Helen, I'm going to get cracking today and do a clear out. I bet you feel chuffed with yourself after all your hard work. x

I’m being ruthless as well. Quietly going thru my stuff. When you think how much we waste on clothes that we either don’t wear or wear once. When I receive a parcel now I try on twice to make doubly sure I really need to keep it

Well done you🙌. It is hard to part with some of your wardrobe. You will make a lot of people happy because you have good taste. TTFN

Phew! well done you, exhausting work but as you say " you'll feel better when it's done" I will have a look out when you drop them on Vinted, thanks Helen x

Wow, that was a job and a half!! Well done, beautiful clothes but you have to be that word again.... ruthless. 😊xx

I'm guessing word of the day is.........ruthless 👍😂. Well done you, I'm sure you feel much better for doing it. Roll on the next one 😊💪

Well done Helen ❤, it will be worth it xx😊

Hi Helen well done you . Will take you quite a while to list all those on Vinted ! I have a bag full of things to put on Vinted but not got round to doing it yet . Love watching your channel .

Some lovely items there Helen. I am sure they will be snapped up. I was drooling over the last pink dress. X

Ohhh keep that pretty pink sparkly dress, looks lovely. You never know you could wear it, so hard to find something when you need it.

Wish I could bring myself to do the same! You've done a wonderful job!

Hello, Dearest Helen. I really enjoyed your vlog today. Very colorful and charming, I look forward to the next one. Toots darling.

Well done it’s giving me anxiety just thinking about clearing my stuff out.

Ohh Helen you are so good .Don't put anything back(that's what I do 😂) Love the pink and blue Boden dresses

Hi Helen, I also have a lot of clothes but not as many as you have. 😅 I would love to sell some online, but I'm not very technically minded 😂 I don't know if this will help you too, but I have made myself a golden rule and stuck to it and it actually works. My rule is that if i buy anything new, i must get rid of something that i don't want or wear anymore. So as soon as I have taken the tags off of any new purchases that I'm going to keep as I hang them up, I must at the same time remove the same amount of iteams from my wardrobe to disgard. I take most of my clothes to either the charity shop or the local clothing bank. I'm 60 now, and as I've aged I often feel guilty when buying clothes as I have plenty, but I also get pleasure in knowing that someone else is benefiting from my clear out, so that's good. Please try this method. Helen, it really does work and keeps the clothing numbers at bay, and you won't have to clear out so often. Large clear outs can be overwhelming. Let me know what you think, Helen. Good luck with your sales!!!!!! Love karen. ❤

Some beautiful clothes Helen. Look forward to seeing them on vinted. Might have to do a cull myself. X

Great video Helen - everything you are selling looks great on you 😍have to be ruthless though I did mine recently then went through the bags & took things out 😆Love watching all your videos. Xx

Hi Helen, What gorgeous clothes and, as you say, if you haven’t worn anything for a few years there is no point in them taking up space in the wardrobe. Although, when I am having a cull most of the clothes go back in the wardrobe 😂. What a dilemma you have on your hands….I don’t envy you and that is the first 35!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿xx

I'm trying to do the same Helen and get rid of clothes I'll never wear. It's not as easy as folk think! Obviously they were bought because they were liked/loved or i had a vision of what they could look like 😊. I can see your style has changed over the time I've been watching your videos. Enjoyed watching this today.

I hope you can get me motivated ! I have blue and pink in everything. I've tried to purge stuff...I end up putting it all back! Still don't wear nothing but lounging clothes! I lounge! That's it. Our husbands love us bunches!☺

Maybe when you rewatch the video you will change your mind 😬 I had a mini haul of clothes from M&S recently and I so appreciate your hauls in your hall. Trying on clothes is so tiring! Well done on your ruthlessness. Love your channel keep up the good work 👍

Hi Helen so many gorgeous outfits but my favourite was the last pink dress. I think you should keep it! x

You are quite brave! I have five closets full! I have tried to do a proper clear out and then regretted getting rid of some of my dresses. I won’t even try again. Lol

Crickey Helen I feel exhausted just watching that, you've done so well. I try to have a clear out once a year but my problem is I try it on again and talk myself in to keeping it!. I will make a start on my wardrobe next week and try to be RUTHLESS. Well done.

I have done the same as you Helen, and then started buying more, but now I realise I'm wasting too much money. I still have in my wardrobe an outfit I wore to my elder son's wedding over 22 years ago. Will now do as you have done and doing " getting rid" Best of luck with the next 2 rails !!

Good choosing Helen! Well done. I do try! X

I’m with you in needing a good wardrobe clear out. I love the pink & blue matching dresses on you, I think you should keep those x

WOW Helen, I am in awe of you and the great job you have done so far. I must admit that I looked in my wardrobe today and started to "Be Ruthless" It didn't work, I looked at some trousers I had for work and thought I don't need these, but just could not get rid of them, so WELL DONE YOU for doing so well. I will give mine another go at some point in the near future as I to have too many things. Oh and on another note, I made some Lemonade Scones and my other half says they are the best one's he has had, so thank you for sharing the recipe

Oh Helen what a job. You did so well. I have recently started doing my wardrobes. Omg what a job. I felt quite sad getting rid of some of the clothes. But I kept telling myself you need to be ruthless. We are trying to downsize and I have got too many clothes. Congratulations Helen you will feel better

Beautiful outfits on there Helen , you’ll sell them easily. Everyone knows whether they have “ too many “ clothes or not but it’s up to each individual what brings them happiness , so keep doing whatever you like ❤

Helen, I‘m very proud of you! That’s the way to do it. I‘m going to follow your example and clear out my wardrobe.

Hello Helen you are so brave! Well done for starting I am also do some decluttering of my clothes and not getting very far so I am cheering you on .your try on helps me as well cos I was over weight all of my working life and was always glad to find my size in the sales. So now I am retired and is about your size now with some weight loss I am interested in seeing what works for me .thank you .

Great video. I'm inspired to have a clear out. Years of stuffing my wardrobe. Recently I realised I have no more room. Thankyou I need my daughter to help. She is ruthless. It's mindset I know. Well done.

As soon as I get home I'm going to empty my wardrobe and try it all on. Vinted here i come

My colleagues gave been telling me how easy it is to sell on Vinted. Must do this to my wardrope (and my husbands) and give it a go.

Wow so many clothes 😮. Someone’s going to be happy with those .

Thank you for this closet clear out. Yes you do have big wardrobe but this is your job. You did a beautiful job of showing all the items that you were going to resell. Many of us have too much in our closets and don’t have a KZfaq channel. I think you’re wonderful. I enjoy your KZfaq channel and have many new ideas for my own wardrobe based on your channel. Just saying 70 size 2 in the USA😊

Great video, we’ve gone through it privately and not as brave as you❣️🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks Helen❣️

You must be exhausted…..great start . Love the mustard yellow dress near the end xxx

Hi Helen have only just stumbled upon your you tube channel I love it we are the same age and so much of what you say n do resonates with me Delighted to have met you Shall be watching from now on ❤

Great job! It is hard work. I was even more ruthless. I have restricted my closet to certain colors, and only natural fabrics!!! It did make choices easier.
