    Great tips. The only one I quibble with is the 1 year rule for special occasion items. I’d rather hold on to a few of those for when the inevitable event comes up rather than buy new each time. And yes, I have worn the same silver dress to various events over the past few years changing up the accessories and my hair and voila! It’s a new look. And it’s a different event, so, no matter it’s the same dress.

    I do all of these except one. All of my clothes are neutral and classic styles so if I don’t wear them this year they’ll be fine next year too. But also - take time to iron anything that needs ironing and mend anything that needs mending that you can do. Or have it done professionally. It is a rare occasion that you find me ironing five minutes before I need to leave, but I have had a closet full with nothing to wear because everything needed ironing. A good movie, a good iron, a good ironing board and away we go.

    All excellent tips, many of which I’ve already incorporated into my own closet and declutter routines. It takes more than just one day sometimes, but part of my process is to put on a single item, e.g. a sleeveless green shell, then put on different skirts, sweater, shirts, and pants to see how many different outfits I can make with it. I write down the ones that really work, and if it’s fewer than three, and I don’t really LOVE the item, out it goes. (One day I’ll cross-reference everything, ha ha!). Then I experiment with various shoes, accessories, scarves, and so on. Although I’m only part way through this process, it has really helped me to know that yes, I do have something to wear. I also practice the “one new item in, at least one (sometimes two) out” approach.

    • @BethDjalali

      @elizabethpetrie2732 I do the same, but I take pictures of each outfit, and save them to my secret Pinterest boards. That way I can go back and look at what each piece looks like with all my other pieces. I turn on a great music station, and just keep trying on different pieces together, and take full length pictures of everything.

    I buy 90% of my clothes at a favorite resale store. As I have gotten older I get overwhelmed easily going into a large department store. And because I pay so little I can easily let things go. I ALWAYS am complimented on my clothes as this shop has very high quality merch with a focus of moving it out the door. However, you must know your style. I know the brands I can wear, Talbots, J Crew, Gap, Ann Taylor. I really enjoy looking at your outfits as it gives me ideas how to mix and match. Thank you!

    Always a great reminder to declutter closets. I'm finding that uniform hangers work well. I love the acrylic shelf dividers. I've been using them for years. Woven baskets look great but hide the contents...even when labeled. Then I forget about the items and don't use them. Personally, acrlic stackables keep me more organized. Enjoy your videos!

    (I'm the person who asked you where you got that beautiful leopard print blouse you were wearing in a video i watched yesterday and you replied that you have had it for a number of years.... WELL, I found a blouse that looked identical to yours at Chicos and it is not on its way to me!!!!) I am a minimalist and my husband and I are diligent about repurposing those things in our lives that no longer serve us. I just now went through my closet and pulled out anything that I no longer wear. I have a bad back and mule style shoes make my back hurt so I put the 4 pairs i have into the donate pile along with several higher heeled summer sandals that I did not wear once this summer. I am ruthless in my purging and I am donating a couple of pairs of pants that had tags on them because I was never motivated to wear them even once. This exercise led me to inventory what I have for fall/winter and I am all set. Other than the leopard print blouse and two sweater-coats I have coming from Amazon, I do not need to add one more item to my wardrobe. This is saving me money (and taught me to not purchase pants that I won't wear LOL). Thank you for all of your great content (I have been a long time viewer and I JUST subscribed.

    I live in a 1960’s house and have a double wall closet. The small size keeps me from having too many things. I have a dresser for jeans, sweaters, workout wear, lingerie etc. I’d be completely overwhelmed by anything more than this. That said, I regularly go through items and try to create new outfits. I enjoy the process and because I’m so familiar with my wardrobe I know how to incorporate something new when I do decide to make a purchase.

    I used to have 100 plastic containers worth of clothes I collected since 1995. Took me 4 years to declutter down to 3 plastic boxes, mind you I still have massive amount to go through: 2 wardrobes (jackets,dresses,knitwear) and 3 chest drawers (tops,lounge wear) and a tall cupboard (skirts,jeans, trousers and purses/handbags). Every year, I go through everything. I declutter all the things too small but sellable, faulty/stained garments are thrown out and discard any piece that I find it expensive to 'upkeep' or style with or no longer fits with my activities (eg change of careers). My favorite declutter method is one in three out. Every 1 item that I buy I have to find 3 items to declutter. And if there is nothing I can find to let go, then I no longer need to acquire new pieces of clothing.

When my daughter came to visit me last week (we wear the same sizes in clothing and shoes), she went through the pile and she ended up taking most of the items. This made me feel so good.

      I disagree about totally recycling clothing because I have excellent quality in some pieces that would be hard to replace. In your case I would have a few pieces tailored and keep a few just in case your weight fluctuates. I'm 71, and at 5 feet tall, the 20 pounds I gained recently (130) put me in the next size... Everything is tight! Including bras! I luckily have a friend who's a slighter build and she was happy to receive my clothing!!! I, too, love the classic style...

I have one closet, you don't walk into it, you reach to the left of the door, or stand on the stepstool to get up into the space above the hanging rack--it goes to ceiling height. I use a Chifforobe and dresser to wrangle the rest of my wardrobe.
