I remember back in the day I had lots of clothes . Now that I am retired. I have minimal clothing and wear everything I have and enjoy them more and helps my budget. It’s so liberating to clear out and let it go. Way to go !!!!! ❤️
Thanks, Angela. This was totally inspiring. I finally got off of my butt, and decided that I'm never going to fit into size 2 skinny jeans again. I've gained 5lbs in the last year or so (yes, it makes a difference when you are only 5'). Body weight also shifts with age. Still eating the same way, and working out. Won't budge, so they are now bagged up for donations. It was liberating.
And other items of clothing that I swore I'd wear again, but never do, gone as well.
Thanks for the inspiration! ❤❤
Ditto.
Two tips: 1) hang EVERYTHING inside out to avoid "hanger bumps" and 2) turn all hangers "backwards" (the open part of the top facing out) and when you wear a garment and rehang, turn the hanger frontwards. After a year any hangers that are still facing backwards - you have not worn that garment, so pitch it.
Great idea
Love these tips!
Great effort Angela. It’s a relief when you clear things out isn’t it? 👏
Hi I watched you awhile back but I found you today when I really needed a distraction lol thank you good women our so important I’m smiling 😊I’m 74 years young you are the best just don’t stop
You are so inspiring! After watching this I can't wait to begin tackling my closet. I have one idea for the shoe area in your closet. I would recommend storing one belt in each of the cubbies. That way if you need a specific belt you can easily see and find the needed belt. Just an idea. Thanks again for sharing and inspiring!
That's a good idea! When Angela showed how she stores her belts, I immediately said, "she's never going to re-coil those belts like that, after she takes one out to wear it". Your suggestion makes a lot of sense. 😊
Good idea.....I'm going to give it a try 👍🏻
@@rosej9686 I was thinking the same thing, those belts are not staying nice at all. My husband bought a belt holder that each one is coiled up individually and in a slot. He loves it.
Or simply just get a belt ring. All your belts are visible and easy to take off and put back.
Exactly what I was thinking, about putting a belt into each small, unused 'shoe' space 😊
Great job - I've been doing this too. Even though some of my clothes still fit, my 62-yr old self is never going to wear them again! And that look on your husband's face when he saw your closet was not just surprise, but the thought of how much new stuff you were going to buy to fill up all that space - lol!
You are a brave woman tackling the whole closet at once! I can only handle one season at a time, if that!
I cleaned out my closet and gave a bunch to my daughter. The rest I donated to charity. It’s refreshing. Your closet looks great!
Love your closet system! Have you ever considered having the sentimental clothing you have tucked away and forgotten converted into a quilt? I have a neighbor who quilts, and they turn out beautiful, not to mention so meaningful!!
Thanks for the tips to get organized!
another great idea! Thank you!
I wish I had a closet that big.😂 . I too was a cake decorator, retired. I have a tip for you. When stacking your shorts etc. alternate the shorts - waist band at the top, waist band at the bottom, waistband at top, waistband at the bottom etc. . Stacking folded tees, fold the sleeve to the front, next one fold the sleeve back, etc. these two different ways keep the stack flattened and not wonky. Your daughter is so beautiful.
Great job! You have a nice size closet. It’s not easy to do, but you did it! I love the set your Grandma made for you, that is precious.
Great job, Angela! You are a true inspiration. Just an option to switch to velvet hangers. You will easily save 50% of space. I was amazed when I switched to them.
I know you said your hangers don't bother you, but just think of how nice it would look if they all matched and were the same color! T j, maxx and similar stores have the velvet type ones for next to nothing😊
I go through my closets about 3x a year. I started out with a Spring/summer closet and a Fall/Winter closet. Bought too many clothes from watching too many influencers like you! Hahaha. Now I bag them in space bags and swap out my closets to our storage unit where we keep our summer gazebo/patio cushions, etc. I don’t buy as much as I used to and I do donate a lot. Last year I had 2 weddings to attend, so I Lost 20 pounds, (2sizes) sadly I gained it back over the too long, sickly winter (I was unable to exercise) so I am here to warn people… DO NOT get rid of your 1 to 2 size up clothes! Esp jeans! Most likely you will gain it back and will be so happy you kept your faves from those sizes. (I refuse to buy new fat clothes! ) Keep the classics too some things never go out of style and always come back in!! Nice closet! Nice job!
Love the before and after closet clean out. Your five tips to help make a decision is really spot on. Now I’m going to tackle my closet. Thanks for the motivation.
I totally agree with you regarding keeping one size down. I have been working out 5 days a week, so it’s motivation for me!!!
Hi Angela, I think so many of us can relate. I always try to organize my closet, but it’s never an easy task. I have too many clothes, and especially jeans, some with tickets still on. I’m one of those people who has tons of clothes, and when it’s time to go somewhere, other than work, I have nothing to wear, and have to run out and buy something new. I love your fun videos, and your closet looks organized and beautiful. Thanks for the motivation. Your daughter is beautiful like her mom and your husband is so handsome. They both looked so happy to see your beautiful organized closet. Thanks Angela.
Very satisfying results.
Great job, Angela.
One small suggestion. Switch out the hanger colors. Use all turquoise hangers for skirts and dresses, black hangers for pants, white hangers for tops, turquoise hangers for jean jackets, etc.
It might make a visual difference and you might feel more organized. You won’t have to spend more money.
Last suggestion. Put the two fabulous Dad t-shirts out and put your empty hangers in the bottom drawer.
This was sooooo freakin awesome and inspirational -- I related so much to the beginning on what the closet realistically looked like. You should add a scented candle and maybe a center tall table for jewelry, and some zen lighting and art to make it really feminine - will be great place to hang out and put outfits together! Also roll your scarfs into those little squares and put belts on the freed up hooks -
I LOVE how ruthless you are in tossing... I am too! During my recent weight loss journey, I have tried on EVERYTHING as I go through my clothing. There are many things I kept that I can now wear again. My getting out my sewing machine, I have not altered some items to fit better than they did before! I am trying not to buy more clothes. By keep things organized according to colors and season of use, I am now wearing my clothes on a more regular basis.
Great job Angela 👏🏻. I had my Dad’s shirts/sweatshirts made into pillows and gave one to each grandchild.
When you were going through some of the clothes, I was wishing I was there cause they were some that I wanted 😂!
Time to go shopping now 🤭
I invited my daughter and daughter-in-law to shop in my closet for free. They helped me and got a few new pieces for their work days.
That is awesome! 😊👍🏻
Angela, what an improvement, but Girl, buy all matching velvet hangers. Lets get real!
It honestly doesn't bother me...sorry 🤣
I love the clean out! Also, just in my own closet, I have all hangers in the same color, and group my clothing by sleeve length and color. So easy to decide what I want to grab and go!
Great job, Angela! I am looking forward to cleaning out my closet after my second knee surgery. My husband and I cleaned out our 2 adult autistic sons closets at their group home over the last 3 weeks. My goodness it was overwhelming! They had acquired tons of clothing, coloring books, broken toys, etc. We ordered just 7 pants, 7 shirts, etc. to help the home reduce their clutter. We kept 7 of each item for our house to help them when the weather changes. I love your channel!
I loved this, Angela--your family is so cute & supportive too!! I keep my closet pretty tidy but I do have hidden PILES (under all the hanging clothes) of "maybe someday, they'll fit again" and gosh, they're probably out-dated if I'd really go through them now. You gave such good tips at the end and you have me inspired to go thru those hidden clothes now! thank-you so much!!
Thank you for sharing your closet declutter journey with us! I'm about to move to The Villages and am working on a whole-house declutter. I appreciate the encouragement. By the way, your daughter is stunning!
One of your better recent videos. After a series of moves I discarded and donated a ton of "contractor size" garbage bags filled with very usable clothes to charity. No regrets...
Looks great! I’m jealous of the size of your closet!
That was so enjoyable to watch. You were so ambitious! Your new and improved closet looks great. Thanks for sharing 👏🏼
Thanks so much! 😊
I’d use those shoe cubbies for rolled up belts and scarves! Each piece could have its own spot. Now to go clean my own closet…😉
Good job!!! I've been working on our closets & dresser drawers. I'm feeling good so far... big trip to Goodwill. Ready to start going through our winter clothing. I'm energized!!!
Maybe the Grandma sweatsuit and the grampa sweatshirt can go in the drawer with the sentimental t shirts?
I do the same with my closet. It feels great to have everything organized.
Thankyou so much for this video! Very motivating !My closet is a real mess and this inspires me to get to it!!
Maybe use the shoe organizer for your belts and extra scarves?!?
Funny, I just did this today! Came across a little black dress inside a garment bag in the back of the closet that still had the tags on it…I probably bought it 15 years ago! 😱
Gonna tackle one dresser. Thank you for sharing
Great Job!!!!! Looks great!!!!!
Hi Angela ……heres a tip I do so not to be overwhelmed . I organize by color, so all whites clothing together, all black , all grey , all blue , Then I do the same with all dresses color the same all skirts ….And have a trash bag ready to donate if it’s not working for me. You’re absolutely correct on going thru the 1-5 tips …… great video as always!
Thank you!! I actually did color coordinate but I had so little left, no one could tell 🤣
@@angelamasson-fashionover50 🤣you do great videos…than you
I would knock out those shoe cubbys you dont use and make shelves. Thats awesome storage space. Great job!
I know now what one of my big problems are. I take the time to fold and sort stuff I want to donate. Maybe I should just shove it in a bag and be done? It seems wrong, but sure gets the job done.
Thank you for saying you fold & sort your donations ! 🥰 I also do that to show respect , to show that my things are not merely cast-off junk , but neat , clean , well cared for items . I use boxes & organize by groups like shoes & purses together , belts & scarves , etc. & if a blouse has a matching or coordinating sweater , put them together . Very little effort yet it helps the charity a lot ; so many have said that people bring in bags of " stuff " which is awful to sort thru !!
@@cynthiajohnston424 I do this too. I only donate clean, impeccable clothing. People don't want to buy dirty, ripped, creased clothing. It's basic respect, to both the Charity shop worker and the future customer , to organise and neatly fold any clothing we donate. I'd be mortified , just showing up , with bags of clothes in this awful state!
You just motivated me big time I'm gonna part with my beautiful work dresses from 15 yrs ago😅 it's time. Great job Angela I'm next my closet will probably be 7 bags make way for the new ❤
Why don’t you use slim velvet hangers, clothes don’t slip and slide? I am proud of you❣️
Velvet hangers also give more space. Pant hangers are also great. You can hang 4-6 pairs on one rack. I purge my closet continuously and major clean out about 3 times a year. It's always BIG boxes full of stuff. You did a great job Angela!
Thank you for doing such a great video! It was so enjoyable and satisfying to watch. Maybe you could use the shoe cubbies to hold your belts and scarfs instead of using a shelf? I wish I could get you a cold drink after watching that! Keep the videos coming! I look forward to them every day!
What a great and inspiring video! My mother is moving back to Ohio after 45 years in Florida (Let’s see how long she lasts through the winter😂). She gave me my fathers jean jacket. That will never go anywhere. I totally understand why you can not get rid of the items from your father and grandparents.
Similar project this afternoon... dragging out my off-season storage boxes to see what will still work for fall. I was wanting to buy end-of-summer clearance for next year, but decided to wait until next year since I've been between sizes. I have a short list to shop for fall.
Same😊
I just did a major clean out as well… I had two size 4 dresses that I know I don’t fit in nor ever will that I got rid of (among other things….) and now that I’m working from home, I don’t need office wear any longer…it’s a big deal to get rid of things that don’t make you feel good and not feel guilty about donating it…someone else can love it 😊
Great tios. I need to clean out my closet and I have put it off for so long. Going to use your ideas and go with it. I tend to hang on to everything . I need to get out of this mode.
Loving the videos from Tennessee!
Thank you for the inspiring video! I'm taking all my memory t-shirts and making some comfy quilt/throw blankets with them. I'll enjoy them much more than being shoved in my closet.
Great video. I did clean out a bunch of things recently, but after watching this, I thing I need to go thru the closet again. Your daughter is beautiful. 🥰
Thank you!
I am having heart palpitations. You did a fantastic job of “clothes control”. Here is the deal I find it very difficult to pitch/donate items that are perfectly wearable. That said I totally agree with you, “how many jeans, t-shirts, dresses, skirts, sweaters, dare I say jean jackets (you get my drift) does one need. You go girl.
I have this exact same problem! I just cleaned out my closet and another influencer suggested Thread-up for the “nice things”. I decided to try it and it was so easy! The postman took three huge boxes of things-Thread up sends a label to print. I don’t even care if they actually sell, but at least there’s a chance that they will be appreciated.
I hear you on the white jeans delima. Trying to find white jeans that meet all the criteria you mentioned...very difficult. Another great video!
Wow Angela you did a great job! Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Angela, the cake t-shirt is adorable. You should definitely rock it again!!
I love all your videos and especially loved this one..I usually go thru my closet in sept for the fall and winter and then april for spring and summer...this made me all ready to do my closet now! But I will wait abit...some good points in this video too...
I love to watch closet clear outs.
I would use the shoe cubbies to organize belts and scarves.
Funny story, in college (University of South Carolina) a new friend from Ann Arbor Michigan would sing the Genesis song, "I Bet I Missed Again" with incorrect lyrics. She loved that song. Every time it came on she'd sing loud and proud until we finally had to tell her the lyrics were not "I've been to Michigan" even though by then she had all these little South Carolinians singing her lyrics too. I still do and that was 1981-1982!
Off topic but your t-shirts made that song pop into my head. 🤣😂🤣
Wow, did you do a great job!! Kudos to you and all that hard work and decision making. You're an inspiration.
Haha I have got to get rid of all the dresses for events I have that I will never wear again…. I keep thinking someone will want one Wrong!!! 😂 no one I know wants them 😃…. Have a great day 🥰
Amazing clean out. Now I need to get busy, this fall, with my closet. Thank you
Very good video. My closet in TV if full. Need to downsize. Someone else can use the extras I wear less often. You gave me good ideas to begin to tackle the excess. Shoe storing ideas?
You could make a t shirt quilt with the t shirts you don't use or are keepsakes
I needed this!!!
Great video! I just did this & kinda tend to just get rid of things as i see something in my closet & think to myself that I'm not going to wear that again. Had to laugh at the comment on different colored hangers...i have to have all white. Lol
Great job!!
Great job Angela! Thanks for the tips & motivation to now go tackle my closet😘
Love you and your channel 😊
I often wonder what influencers do with all the clothes they have?! I love closet cleanouts, in fact I may love them too much, I'm kinda obsessed! In order to prevent excess, I've created a few clothing rules and it has helped tremendously! I also count my clothing to prevent excess, if I'm going to buy something, I donate or sell another in exchange, and I only buy pieces I will currently wear, that fit my body now, that I actually need. That's just a few.
I can't stop laughing with you on the floor past out!!! BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
Hi Angela...your video is SO encouraging!!!..thanks for sharing!!!xxx
Angela I'm like you with the hangers, it doesn't bother me much but my daughter has to have the same color hangers and a certain style hanger. Me I don't really care too much, as long as my clothes are hung up it's cool.
I have to go through my closet as well bc I had gastric bypass surgery in May and I lost 42 pounds so far and some of my old clothes doesn't fit me anymore
That is fantastic!! Congratulations!
@angelamasson-fashionover50 thank you I'm so proud of myself for I got along way to go yet
… and your closet is HUGE and overflowing. We humans, the more space we have, the more we fill it up! You and I… def not minimalists. Ha Thanks for video. Kathy from AL
Great job! Your daughter is beautiful.
Thank you so much! 😊
Yes , Stages is all I can handle 😄❤❤❤❤you are brave
Angle Angela , lol
Thank you!! Good Job
Good job!!! It's gratifying to watch you declutter!!! i've been working on mine!! thank you for the tips!!!!😊
Love the Barefoot Dreams socks🎈I have 3 pairs and they are the first thing I put on my feet when I get home from work all year long 🧦
Wow... good job! I have a hard time parting with things that I attach sentimental value to also, so I've been keeping dresses that I've worn to my son's wedding, etc, even though they're a couple of sizes too small now and I'm pretty sure I'll never wear them again. I'm getting there, though... I have one large trash bag full that's going to Goodwill tomorrow! Btw, your daughter is stunning and your hubby is very handsome!
Congrats on donating - so many people are in need ! My suggestion for the sentimental clothes you no longer wear - since they were for special occasions , I'm sure you have pictures you can display or a special pic. album ; you will always have the sweet memories & can generously donate for others to enjoy & create their own special memories ! 🥰
Lovely family! As a scarf addict...... I guess I have to start making the hard decision. Choices change like seasons and preferences and I really cannot wear them all all the time 😁. I have different plastic 🤫 hangers. Slowly but surely worked out the coloured ones and mainly have white left, but the style differs. So I use simular hangers for tops and another kind for pant etc. It just makes the space look even more yummy 😁
Love your videos
I love watching cleaning out/organizing videos! Do you find yourself just opening the door and standing there staring at your new organized space?? I do that with any room I have decluttered and then wonder why it took me forever to get around to doing it! Now if I could only get up the energy to tackle the dreaded basement!! Thanks for the great video!!
Great job!! Now you need to go shopping 😉
Working on it!🤣
What else do you wear that would fit in the shoe bins? Maybe roll some tshirts and tanks?
I wish I had a big closet. Great job! I keep up with my clothes.
Angela, put those other things that are keepsakes in the bottom drawer with the other 2 pieces. Also, put your shoes in those cubbies, except for ones you wear daily.
She said she keeps her shoes downstairs. I think she can use the cubbies for belts😍
Wonderful job! It looks great! Beautiful daughter too.
Awe sweet your Dad and Children's made t shirt ...Id shadow box a place for them ❤
I also have a lot of scarves - have you considered a scarf hanger? It unfolds into multiple holes to drape the scarves through and only takes up one hanger space on the rod.
Scarf hanger , belt hanger , pant and / or blouse hangers for multiples if the styles & fabrics allow . Same style & color hangers look nicer too . All one color in a closet for harmony whether your color choice is black or white or hot pink , it will look " professionally done . "
Nice job! Bet you feel so much better
This was a fun video. Very inspiring, Angela. Good job!
Angela, Your a hoot ! I'd keep the tye dye for the Paisley Craze band nights ;]
I LOVE ALL your clothes ;]
Good morning Angela, great subject!!! Have you ever tried arranging your hanging clothes by color, and what about using all the same hangers (I added this before I got to your comment about different colored hangers 😁)? The more organized things are, the less you have to pull out when getting dressed.
Great video! Love a good declutter!
Wish i had your closet!
But they're all so pretty!😂😂😂
Love it! I have the same Christmas sweater dress!
Wow! Great job!
