    Jen is the best partner to clean the closet.
    “Get rid of that you never wore it”
    “Those are stupid “
    “Did you ever wore this? You don’t like it!”
    “It’s hard but I am glad you are doing it”

      Yes, I'm a straight size but it's okay to be bigger or smaller and get rid of what you don't fit anymore. Our bodies change over time so why not change up your clothes with it? Sometimes I gain fat and sometimes it's muscle but every time I outgrow my clothes. It's normal.

I have not been tested for ocd but everyone I know thinks I have it, and also I have anxiety so when ever I even think about never seeing something again I like start having a mental breakdown and I just cannot function and get rid of ANYTHING!!!!!! I love everything I have and I strategically but stuff that I know I’ll love and get joy from but also I’m great at getting stuff for cheap so I have so much stuff! Like not to brag but usually people get one shirt for 20 dollars but I’ve gotten 20 shirts for $20. It’s a big problem. Got any tips for how to not have so much but somehow not have to get rid of it?

    When getting rid of clothes, I think it's important to have someone there who understands you as support. I really love how Jen is there supporting what Kristin wants to keep, but also reminding her that even if something fits, if she doesn't love it, then she shouldn't keep it. It was a great example of how you can help with this kind of decluttering!

    I think I needed to see someone just casually being like “yup this doesn’t fit goodbye” because I feel so guilty getting rid of clothes I’ve hardly worn that just don’t fit. I’ve been recovering from being at an unhealthily low weight for years and I’m now struggling one to get rid of things but also to get things that actually fit...especially because I’m semi plus size now? A lot of normal sizes don’t fit me, but I think I’m a little bit smaller than Kristen so I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve been wearing my partners sweat pants since we started college because I straight up don’t own pants that fit me and don’t know how to go shopping and get more without getting super triggered by sizes.

    • @deenam2567
      @deenam2567 3 роки тому +62

      For the getting triggered by sizes thing, this may or may not work depending on what’s close to you, but shopping at flea markets or thrift shops that don’t really label sizes is really nice! It not only avoids the triggering sizes but also sizes don’t uniformly match to different across brands or bodies, so I find it really refreshing. Again though, depends on availability near you!

    • @KIPeanutGallery
      @KIPeanutGallery 3 роки тому +29

      I completely understand the size fear. I've fluctuated between 230-290 over the years, and my weight can change rapidly over the span of a few weeks. The thrift idea is great, but I know that the plus options in my local thrift stores aren't great. The thing that has helped me is actually finding stores or brands that have forgiving sizing. Usually at Walmart I can fit a XL or 2XL, I don't think I ever need a 3XL, unless I am looking for something very over sized. Where are Target, I could not find a single item of clothing that fit me. Not an XL or a 2XL, and they did not carry anything bigger then that. So even though I don't think of my self as that big, I felt humongous. I actually recommend online shopping over store shopping. Take you measurements, and read the size chart and all of the reviews, and usually things will fit. I find this takes a lot of the pressure off, since you aren't getting stuck in to tight clothing, or feeling judged by sale associates, or getting overheated and overwhelmed in the fitting room. Over time you find what brands and styles work best for you body type. And you will also see that, especially in women's clothing, the number means nothing. I am anywhere from an 20-24 a XL-3XL depending on brand, cut, and desired fit, lol. Just as long as the clothes bring you joy, that is all that matters. 💜

    • @JT-hr6dq
      @JT-hr6dq 3 роки тому +14

      You might find some success with more inclusive brands like Universal Standard. They have great basics to help you build your wardrobe. In the descriptions of the clothing item you can see a model for each size offered so you find a model with a body shape like yours to help you find the correct size. The items are a bit spendy, but wash really well and last for a long time.

    • @Olivia-jw5sd
      @Olivia-jw5sd 3 роки тому +8

      If it's within your budget, I've found a lot of success with style boxes (especially plus-size specific ones like Dia&Co). I think it's less triggering for me because I only had to put my sizes/measurements on my profile at the beginning of my membership. I don't even have to look at or think about the sizes on the clothes I get, I just try them on.

      In case that didn't work: You could start with putting them in a box, and if they fit you and you still like them in a year you keep them. If that is not the case, it is easier to get rid of them that way and until then they won't make you feel bad.

    One of the most helpful things I've done for getting rid of clothes is start going to/hosting clothing swaps. Not as much of an option right *now* but pre-panini my friends and I would all take turns hosting. We'd a safe place where people can drop off their things and rummage through piles, trying things on in real time like one big changing room. We always have designated bathrooms/bedrooms for private changing, of course, but most of us just change on the fly as we find things we like because it allows everyone to showcase the items there and hype each other up and find things we think would look great on one another. It can be really hard to get rid of something you love but never/can't wear (especially really expensive pieces or costume/art pieces), but seeing somebody put on something you once loved and they just look bangin' in it and everyone is telling them how good it looks on them is just the best feeling. Then at the end of it, generally the last few people divide up the unclaimed things to distribute to women's shelters. It has been immensely helpful for me and my relationship with clothing, and as a bonus, it SIGNIFICANTLY cut down on my fast fashion purchases over the last few years!

    Kinda jealous that I don't live in a place with lots of pretty plus size clothes, or stylish plus size clothing owners who are cleaning out their closet and donating to local thrift stores ;)
    I definitely don't buy clothes on sale when I feel sad, and then make myself feel worse because the clothes don't fit me properly or emphasise my apron belly that I can't yeet.
    I've been trying to sew my own clothes so that I can choose my own fun fabrics, have something that fits properly, and I can have pockets and other nice things. Making clothes is hard though, trying to make a pattern from an existing shirt that fits me well nearly melted my brain, because darts. Then I over-compensated with adding extra length onto everything, so the darts didn't sit where they should and that shirt looks weird. But I will try again, in time.

    A tip I picked up from outgrowing my wardrobe twice during the pandemic: if you outgrow an item you absolutely love and can't bear to part with, try finding it in your new size on poshmark, de pop, ebay, etc. I was able to replace three of my favorite items even though they were no longer in stores.
