    She did an amazing job letting go of things she wasn't wearing or using. Way to go! I know she will feel so much better with less.

    Your mom is so funny! She did a great job. Seeing the two of your together was so sweet. I hope you will be able to do more videos with her. I’m planning to watch this with my mom and hopefully it will inspire her to go through her things.

    Hi Shannon, it's your mom, hehe. I have to tell you how nice it is to have only the clothes that I like and will wear in my closet. I pick out something to wear and don't have to wonder if it's going to fit or match. Every blouse either goes with blue jeans or black pants, simple. I still have enough to choose from, but I have so much more room, and I don't waste time trying on blouses that I felt guilty about. Now someone else can wear them. I can hardly even remember what I removed and don't miss one of them. Thanks for your help. I love you!

    • @shannontorrens1

    @xsweetcrisx 5 років тому +5

    Wow! Your mom has an excellent wardrobe and now that it is decluttered I’m sure she will feel better getting ready and feel great in all this clothes that she actually loves. This was a great time to turn the hanger backward because it will be easy to remember how long it’s been since she wore it. I did it at the beginning of 2019 and am ashamed to say I have about a dozen things I haven’t worn.

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  5 років тому

      Thank you! I know what you mean about having things you don't wear, I have found even with my decluttered wardrobe there are a few pairs of pants I don't ever wear. This is when that hanger trick really helps to point that out. I hope you have a good day.

      Hi Robin! Thank you, I think I am rubbing off a little. I know my mom will never be minimalist, she likes all of her collections and stuff, but she doesn't actively buy many new things. It is just all the stuff they have always had. I hope you have a good weekend!

    If my mom comes over when I’m decluttering clothes she always wants to try on what I’m getting rid of. I tell her that she needs more help than me and that I’m planning on going over to her place and help her. She doesn’t seem to understand the idea of decluttering. I don’t mind giving her my clothes obviously but it seems to defeat the purpose. I’ve recently found out about a women’s shelter not far from where I live so Ive already donated some things to them and I’d love to help more. Also your mom is super cute.😊❤️

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  5 років тому +1

      Thank you! That is such a great idea to give your clothes to the woman's shelter. We have been donating our items to a place that raises money for an elderly community. It feels good that the items are going to a good cause.

    • @Debbiesdilemmas
      @Debbiesdilemmas 5 років тому +1

      Shannon Torrens I think as long as it’s helping people it’s a win/win situation. If you give to Goodwill or similar it’s still helping the charity, giving others options for reasonable priced clothing and keeping the clothes, etc. out of the landfill. I just happened to find a women’s shelter close to home although it’s kept very secretive for the women’s safety.

    I think it is ok to say yes and take what others offer you. They dont need to know what you will do with it. You have no obligation to keep. It might help them part with it. -Danya

    Does anyone wear slips anymore? I got rid of mine too, about 5 years ago. I believe dresses and skirts are made differently now, without the need for slips anymore. Thank goodness!
