Helpful video. Very relatable! Thank you!!!

I often post items on our community website that is free…a gifting site and a way to meet people in your community.

I struggle with perfectionism, too. I can so relate to not wanting to start something if I don't have time to do it "right." Recently, I told someone I aim for 80% instead of 100%. It's my way of fighting perfectionism, and I just got a weird look. 😂 But aiming for 80% reminds me that things don't need to be perfect helps me to finish in a reasonable time.

Thank you. I have a skirt that my mom bought me. It’s beautiful but I don’t wear it. I remember the day like it was yesterday. It was over 30 years ago. My mom is now in hospice. I have tried to think of how to wear it, what to do with it. Maybe I’ll see if I can find the photo of me wearing it 30 years ago and frame it. I never wore the skirt many times maybe 3x but it has the shopping memory it’s so strange how attached I am to this skirt! But it also comes with that energy of what do I do with this! Every time I see it hanging in the closet.

I get into the guilt of not wearing what I have. Love how you shared your why’s on that topic. Often, I just find I can’t wear it all. And then it gets too overwhelming to try and wear it all. I am watching your Style Math video next! BTW, that pink is gorgeous on you (my fav color too. ;). )

Are you a Bob Ross painter? I notice you have several oil paintings in your area. I paint Bob Ross style landscapes. It’s was therapeutic for me. My lifelong depression went away after I started painting. Thanks for your style tips.

Early in my closet declutter & working through what I don't wear for various reasons. Your closet would be a dream to me. Slowly does it for me as coming up for retirement & don't want to waste money or buy things I won't use. I'm finding my smaller collection works well. If I put something on & it doesn't look good, my mantra is ...."what makes me think it will look any better nxt time😂"

You spoke to me definitely....I'll try your suggestions

TY for sharing your honest self reflection. Super helpful

Your viewers are all feeling much better about themselves and their closets, so you have done a great service! I clean my big walk-in closet out usually twice a year - I actually keep almost everything in there all year round as it is large and there is even room for my husband's suits. However, it devolves after a while...and then I decide to wait until the next seasonal cleanout to clean it up. And then I can't find anything because stuff is on top of stuff. Plus, what to do with those items that aren't ready to be washed yet but I don't want to put back in the closet as if they had been washed? Oh, yeah - the chair! You know, the chair with all the things that have been worn once heaped on in archeological layers 😄?!? Bottom line is probably too much stuff...can't even wear it all so why am I always looking for more? Because I have to find the right stuff...or replace stuff...or just want some new stuff...

Your closet looks great actually! I'm all those things. I hear you. I've learned how to deal with that also over the years but still deal with it.

I have a ton of clothes, yes because of the seasons, but mostly because i love clothes! I love thrifting beautiful vintage pieces and rocking the heck out of them!❤

Decades ago I had a book called Color Me Beautiful. It helped me find my color palette and style. It helped me avoid buying things I didn’t wear and my things were interchangeable. Now, retired, I have a new problem. I don’t need clothes for work, I’ve suddenly gained weight and I’m not sure I can lose it, and I don’t go out much. Also, I still love clothes and dressing well. I volunteer just to have a reason to dress. My elderly mother still loved to shop for clothes in her 90s and left behind a huge closet of clothes. I don’t want to do that.

I donate to Assistance League. It’s a national organization that raises money to buy new clothing for school children. I also shop there sometimes. They make a great effort not to waste used clothing. Even rags get used. When I was young and broke, my friends and I would shop at Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores. It was great fun. So it’s easy for me to donate thinking that someone might discover my donation.

Hahaha! The wardrobe on the floor! And here I was thinking you were perfect!! 💖💖💖💖

You had me at pink! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

You are reading all my thoughts in every one of your videos😅

The pink sweater looks really good on you

I feel bad about having multiples of the same top but not about two drawers full of jeans and my tops drawer is overflowing. How do you justify having multiples of literally the same striped or white tee? Love your channel and I envy your access to great thrift shops!

I love how real you are. The first video I saw was you showing us this closet and how you organize. I don’t feel like such a failure now. 🤣

Wow, I love your philosophy of developing a wardrobe that lights you up and how this process can affect other parts of your life. This is not frivolous stuff; something we do everyday, getting dressed, can have such great impact. That alone helps me to give myself permission to make this a priority

Some great tips in here, thank you🙏

I don't buy clothes often. When I do, I keep them forever because I am very choosy about fabric. I repair them and recycle them when they wear out. I have an everyday denium dress that I bought 25 years ago and still wear. I buy clothing that I can add to or take away from because we have 4 seasons. Most of my "good" clothes were bought 10 or more years ago. Fabrics and construction in recent years are so poor that I try to keep and update what I already have. I wish I had some of the better clothes I gave away before things got to be so cheaply made.

Lovely to find your channel Kristen❤

Such a nice helpful video...thank you❤

What top are you wearing? Grey cashmere or cotton?

This is overthinking a simple task.

I was pulling up adjectives as suggested and 26:24 was amazed when "armored" popped up 😅

Thank you. I've finally cleared out my wardrobe and I've got simple basic clothes with scarves and accessories handy too. Great advice.

Thanks. Great advice ❤
