  • It's about time I did another wardrobe declutter. I've been through a lot of lifestyle changes over the past few years, and I am definitely holding onto clothes that no longer fit my lifestyle.
    I'm excited to share this wardrobe declutter video with your today, which will hopefully get you excited and motivated to organise and declutter your own wardrobe too.
    There's no way you can find your personal style without first having an organised wardrobe. I'm sharing a few organisation tips along the way too. I hope you enjoy!

    important about me 🙋‍♀️
    Please know that I began my ethical fashion journey in mid-2020 and am still learning new things every day. My aim is to build a community here on UA-cam that is passionate about style but wants to pursue it consciously and ethically.
    I encourage you to explore shopping ethical & sustainable brands or those brands that are at least making progress (if these options are available to you). I also encourage you to shop second-hand as much as possible, whether that be at thrift shops (once again, if this is available to you). Do your best to be kind to people and the planet and you will be rewarded greatly ♥️
    On this channel, I like to share fashion styling tips, outfit ideas and sustainable fashion tips. My motto is #BuyLessWearMore and is a friendly reminder to us all to buy less new things and wear more of what we already own.
    SlowFashion is a journey and I thank you for being on it with me!
    Lots of love xx

    The trash bin and scissors in the wardrobe and the in-between-wears container are such good ideas! That also just gave me the idea of having a container of things that need dry cleaning and/or tailoring because I feel like I often put those items back in the closet with everything else and then forget about them and only remember when I reach to wear them and realize I can't - and on the cycle goes!

    I’m only 2 minutes into the video, but I wanted to come on here to say that this is exactly what I need right now! I also moved and had a baby, and I haven’t cleaned out my closet since after college, so this video is going to be my guide. 😁

    So good to see you back, Emily! And thanks for keeping it practical and sustainable. Lots of wardrobe organisation content promotes buying fancy new plastic containers, that puts me off. And as a mum of 2 small kids through a pandemic, I've really not chimed with declutter approaches that need a whole day of undisturbed thinking and try-ons. Thank you, more of this please!
    PS: I too have a dedicated "half-worn clothes" space in my wardrobe, makes it easy to check when there's space left over in the washing machine.

      Yay thank you for watching! I hope this helps get you started to declutter the items that don't make sense for your lifestyle right now. I'd start there, and then make a wishlist of items you think are missing, and very slowly introduce these items. Maybe you can try 2nd hand to save some money 💕😌 xx

    Your video gave me the motivation to do my own closet decluttering. My problem with decluttering is that I see it as all or nothing. I'm a perfectionist and I never seem to find the time or the head space to do it all at once. One step at a time makes sense. Thanks for sharing 😊

    • @EmilyElizabethMay
      @EmilyElizabethMay  Рік тому +1

      Yes I can totally relate to this! This mindset often creeps up on me and then I feel paralysed to do anything at all. Definitely try one small area at a time. Sometimes I'll start with my socks and undies just to get momentum going ! 😋

  • @amandalh60

    Thank you for sharing the reasons you are letting items go and the general lessons rather than just consider things individually!. Light bulb moment for me. The almost perfect lesson is a good one for me. I have bought so much on almost perfect black pants and white tshirts etc rather than hang out for the right one.

    Hi Emily, great to see you and your family are doing great. I was picking out my outfit a few days ago, following the three colors rule you taught in one of your videos of course(style saver 😅) and I was wondering how you were doing. So when I got the notification of your video today I was like “yay!” 😂. I do a lazy declutter every time the season changes, it makes it so much easier for me. Take care of you and your beautiful family ❤❤

    It will take me a lot to decide to declutter, but it was okay watching you go through the process. I usually get anxiety while watching these types of videos but did not this time, maybe. because you did not focus with the discarding of items but more with organization. Lovely family. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the new year.
