Clothes are just always going to be something that's easier to declutter in layers. As you get one pile out the door, you start to find out which clothes you actually enjoy and which you don't. It takes so much time though! I'm always re-evaluating my clothes and donating some and buying some others, and that's totally okay. I'm just impressed you have kept going through those mountains and ALSO been smart enough to outsource some of the work so you CAN keep going!
Thank you so much!
Colt has settled in very well, you'd think he had been with you for years not weeks. I think he loves his new home.
You're making good progress so keep going!
I agree about Colt. Based on what the shelter told me, I thought it would take him longer to decompress and get settled in. I love seeing his zany, vibrant personality blossom. Thanks for commenting!
The shenanigans being pulled are why my dogs aren't allowed on my bed when I'm sorting laundry. If they had their way they would throw all my clothes onto the floor.
I have found that items I have posted tend to have a pattern
They sell within a few days or sit unsold forever
So I now have a two week limit and if not sold by then
I donate those items
I am so impressed by your progress 👏👏👏👏
Thank you! That's a great approach.
Decluttering clothing, for me, always seems easier when I do it in phases. It’s less stressful and I always find that I let even more go in subsequent phases. You’re doing a great job in removing any regret about letting something go, prematurely.
Thank you!
That was a great achievement Mira- you went through a heap of clothes.
Bit by bit you’ll get it done eventually- it’s not a race.
When you are putting things away in your cupboards you’ll probably let go of a few more items.
Working from home means you’ll need far fewer clothes.
I find when everything is hanging in the wardrobe I can see what I have and I rarely buy clothes anymore.
Colt was so lucky to be adopted into your family! I can see that he is loving it! And I am so glad that both of your boys bring you joy and laughter. I am so glad they got to frolic amongst your clothes! Sometimes our loved ones are more important than getting alot done, or keeping clothes pristine. ❤
I love that you're starting to put things on probation 🙌. Those will be the next peel on the onion!
One is already out. I tried to wear it today, got it partway over my head and decided probation is over; it's off to jail. 😂
You are actually really fast at your decisions and sorting into piles. Some people hold for a long time and then need to try on and can’t remember the details of the piece itself. You always know right away about the fit, colours that you don’t enjoy or fantasy type ideas you thought would work but don’t turn out. You have many bags gone to donation and thread up which is super impressive. The struggle seems to be the quantity for you which you point out and remind viewers this is first pass and work stages. Keep it up Mira- you are fun to watch and see all the changes.
Ive never seen so many leggings, and shirts. Keep going, your getting there..
I've never considered myself a minimalist as I have plenty of everything, but when I see the sheer volume of stuff on these videos...
I have 3 pairs of jeans. 1 skirt. a few tops. 2 winter jackets, and maybe 5 other pieces of odds and ends. maybe I need to go shopping. lol
@@more5347 You don’t need to go shopping for more if you like everything you own and use it! 😊 I don’t own that many clothes either. Have 3 pair of jeans just like you.
Same here, i dont need alot nor do i want alot.. when i find something i dont wear or havent worn in a few months it goes in a donation bag..
That's another slogan you could put on your merchandise "always more clothes".
The pile looks a lot smaller! Excellent progress! Your little helpers are so very cute.
Thank you! 😊
What luck! I just sat down with a coffee and a box of fabrics (from my overwhelming collection) to de-clutter, and here is a new Mira video to keep me company 😊
You got this!
Yay! You can do it! Thanks for watching.
Oh friend….the destruction that our fur babies cause, and the money they cost us. My goodness, the VERY BEST THERAPY AVAILABLE! Unconditional love & and abundance of joy. Worth every bit of it! Stay the course girl! 💕
Well done! You stayed focus in spite of their shinanighans!! Xx
I tried. It was funny to watch the footage because they were busier than I realized at the time.
couldnt stop looking at the dogs 🤣 they where making me laugh 🤣🤗😘🐶🐕
Kinda hard not to look at them with those antics, LOL.
I love the circus! That was the greatest show on earth…. Lol
😂
Amen
Mira it's so great to hear you laughing. Colt is a great addition to your family. Sending love and hugs xx
You're getting alot better at this by the day, the point is to declutter what you don't wear or don't like or doesn't fit you don't have to be a minimalist you're doing great and it must be an amazing joy knowing that someone in need will be wearing ALL of this,that's huge madam
Yes! Thank you!
Norma here.
Well, you did pretty good with getting rid of some of the clothing and I’m sure you’ll add a few more to the get rid of pile on your second pass. I hope you’re able to get rid of at least half those t-shirts in that huge pile. No one needs that many shirts, or leggings unless you change outfits 3xs a day and never, ever want to do laundry. lol
As it stands, you probably have enough outfits to wear for the next year without having to wear anything twice.
Clay and Colt were having such a good time.
They bring you so much joy and keep you from dwelling on the tasks.
It is a process. You have a great plan. The dogs were super cute. They had me in tears 😂😂😂
Totally understandable.
Those dogs add so much to all of our lives! I’m so glad you added the little black dog. You are a two dog girl I think
I know what you mean about how the money is already spent, let go of what you’re ready to let go of. My piles are books rather than clothing. A new book might cost $20-$30 (or more) and be worth $1.00 as soon as it leaves the store. But the items brought/bring joy. Great job, by the way! And, it’s fun to see Clay and Colt being buddies and loving life.
I think seeing dogs playing about and being happy hits in the same happy button of when you hear a random toddler/small child giggle. Whilst the keep pile is the biggest pile, you do have two separate piles that are leaving the house one way or another, imagine how big that pile would be if you put them together. There’s a rule I remember seeing that most people wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time. I think you wear less than 20% of your clothes because you can’t get to that 20%. By doing a first pass, you will get to that 20% and work out what you truly love and want to keep. Therefore you’ll be able to take that back to the correct portions, of wearing the majority of your wardrobe the majority of the time because you truly love what is in there.
You've got your hands full with that guy! BWHAHHAHA! I love how Clay is joining in with him on his shananigans - LOL!
OMG, he is such a firecracker!
Hi Mira, thank you for touching the spot of financial guilt we might have due to our past purchases. I never dared to ask about it directly just to spare you thinking about it. Your thoughts are mirroring mine. Whenever I get rid of something that triggers financial guilt, I try to focus on the - albeit expensive - lesson I am learning... to be more intentional about what to bring into my home and life. Trying to get some money back is the effort that I am going though to mitigate the harm to my budget, deepening the learning. Wishing you the best for your decluttering and selling journey! Regards from Germany. 😊
You did a great job. I loved seeing and hearing you get rid of clothing with tags on it. If you haven’t worn it it has to go to give you room for a happy life. Swimsuits, who cares. Just get out there and have fun!
Dogs are like children and colt is like a toddler you gotta put everything up high.😊
Love the pups and hearing you laugh at their antics! You’re doing a great job, Mira. I find clothes to be the hardest to declutter, tedious! But you’re making it fun!
Dogs are so cute, they are trying to figure out where the clothes went!
I think part of what we buy is a feeling, a mood lift, excitement to try something new or collect something. Even if you never wore the clothes you got some of your money’s worth. And declutterring is mostly free. I feel like I collected a bunch of things I thought were me and declutterring let’s me pare back all the things that aren’t so I can see who I really am - what I’ve become having gone through various experiences and having tried on various “costumes.”
I'm so happy to see that Colt is settling nicely and Clay seems to be very happy with his new friend. They're adorable and hilarious! ❤❤ It's not important whether or not you get rid of a lot of things, what's important is doing your best and I think you're doing great! My decluttering strategy is the "onion peel" decluttering, it takes longer but it's not overwhelming! Take care and cheers from Ontario Canada. 🦔🐿🦌
1st pass is right, great job Mira!
Oh love how Clay and Colt are playing amongst your clothes too funny they are adorable. Nope don’t want that Mom. You’re doing great with your clothes clutter🙂little at a time.🥰
Thanks so much!
YES to selling the stuff you declutter!
When money was tight, for example when I attended university, I tried to sell much more than in times when money wasn't much of a problem. The few bucks can really add up.
On top of that, it really helped me seeing how much work it is to get rid of stuff. I don't think I would have changed my consumption patterns if I had made things too easy for myself and just donated everything. Selling is work!
That being said, I also offered A LOT for free and managed the pick ups. Back then the thrift stores in my area didn't take much. It was a long process and I am glad I took my time with it. Totally worth it.
Only let go of what you want to
I just did a declutter of clothes on Monday. It was a holiday, so I had all day to do it. I pulled everything out of the closet and drawers (I left the hanging clothes) and sorted. It has gotten SO MUCH EASIER for me to do over the years. I started decluttering about three years ago. You are so right about "the first pass". You have to build that muscle. It is the first of many many passes. Decluttering is never done.
I walked through Kohl's yesterday and had given myself permission to get either some jeans, a dress or a basic T (all items I've determined I need). I ended up not getting anything. Everything I saw reminded me of stuff I just got rid of, LOL. I think decluttering is turning me into a more discerning consumer.
Thanks so much for sharing! I want to come over and play with your pups while you work :)
So good to hear you laughing with joy. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
My dog really watches tv and got so excited seeing your pups! Despite what you're going through you adopted a new dog and it's obvious you take great care of them. To me that makes you a special person! Your videos are so refreshingly real!
You are so kind. Thank you!
When you have cute stuff that you like its okay to keep it if you're gonna wear it. There's no need to apologize for that. I think you are doing EXTREMELY well at declutting!! I'm so very proud of you!!!💞💜💞💜💞💜
Those boys are just gorgeous together and it does look like Colt has lived with you forever. You are so calm with him, I think he really has just decompressed in your home. In regards to how much you let go each time, anything that you let go is a win. Better to go at your own pace and just keep going rather than trying to let go more than you are comfortable with and then stopping because it's too anxiety provoking. I've also made waaaaaaay too many purchases that I wish I hadn't! I'm only just learning at the age of 49 that I can see something I love in a shop and I can just enjoy it in that moment, I do not need to own it! I have a new little habit of going online shopping and putting lots of things in my cart, then leaving that cart for a day or two. When I come back to it it's surprising how many items I no longer feel the need to buy! Looking forward to the next video.....xx
Thank you for a very entertaining video! I really enjoyed Clay and Colt’s antics! I loved your p.s. at the end. You’re such a kind person and are always thinking of others. ❤
Thanks so much!
❤im so glad to see you laughing Mira 😀! Colt's an adorable new addition to your family, take care enjoy your day 🎉!
"The money has already been spent " yes! That helps!!!!
I've seen videos where you've let go of 75%of what you've gone through. It's going to vary quite a bit, depending on how you feel that day and what layer of clutter you're working on. Sometimes we keep something that doesn't fit because emotionally we're not ready to let it go, it's not a logical decision. On second or third pass you might be ready. You are accomplishing an insane amount, and I'm glad you give yourself so much grace. ❤️ ❤
In keeping with the circus theme, “And now, in the centre ring, The Marvellous Mira and her performing poodles!” Great job powering through that pile of clothes despite the canine distractions! 😁🎩🐩🎪
I always say that having my dog is like having a toddler. It looks like you have two.😂 🐶 🐶
If things don't fit perfectly why keep them on probation? Especially since you have so many clothing options. I am sure as you go through more of your home you may find more clothing boxes. I love colt and Clay's shenanigans. ❤
Bonjour, this is the first pass, she is probably decluttering this "probation" pile in the future (next decluttering ) 😊
This is a good point. I think I will try everything on before it goes in the closet and that will rule out a bunch.
I have a theory about poodles. All poodles, regardless of size, get the same amount of sass when they get created. Unfortunately, that sass gets hella concentrated in the wee, lil poodles, so the smaller they are, the more rambunctious, mischievous and stinkin' adorable they are.
Well done Mira, you’re doing great. Another big pile of clutter out the door! Just keep chipping away at it love. Take care, from the UK x
Those two are little chaos tornadoes, hilarious! Clay looks like he's acting like a puppy again too. I think you did great on your first pass!
The money, yeah… where you have clothes, I have books! I’ve often thought that I probably could have retired a year or two sooner if I still had all the money I’ve spent on books over the years. I’ve donated many that I never even read. Right now, I’m in a decluttering mood, and can’t wait till spring because an organization that runs a gigantic book sale will start accepting donations then. I’m eager to get going!
That's great! Love that for you.
Please, how do you do with books? Asking for a friend and her mum. 😅
Re-watching this for the enjoyment and laughter of seeing Inspector Clay and young Colt who he’s mentoring. I seem to be coming down with Flu B AGAIN. Feeling rotten, terrible chills, constant vomiting and diarrhea. I need cheering up! Mira, Clay and Colt to the rescue ! I feel too bad to laugh, but not even Flu B can stop smiles. Love your videos! Thank you!
Great job, Mira. Just take your time, once you feel better, you'll be able to let go. Everyone has their own pace. Cudfle the doggies from me. Greetings from Munich
Mira your doing a great job do things at your own pace. I can only imagine how hard this is ,but you’re doing amazing. I know that people give suggestion and some can be judgmental. They are not you ,you do you 💕💕💕💕💕💕 have you thought of putting your shoes in a small box with a lid while you nap so your four legged baby doesn’t steal them same with anything he tries to chew that is not his. Give him his things only. You doing want him to get hurt chewing things he shouldn’t. Oh well, you’re doing a great job ,keep up a bit at a time.Before you know it you will have conquered the clothing circus 💕💕💕💕🐶🐶🐶🐶
Thank you!
I believe that this is the most fun declutter video yet!
You are doing a great job, Mira! Keep at it, you will get there!
That Colt is an instigator! LOL And he’s very smart; watching everything and grabbing a few things too.
I love him! He’s like the naughty kid that’s the most fun!
YES! Keep looking forward--not back! 👍👏🏻😍
I laughed with you at Clay and Colt's antics, thank you for that! When I fold laundry, I have to lock my cats out of my room. One will jump into any drawer that's carelessly left open for three seconds, slip down into the drawer below, and rearrange the clothes into a little nest for herself. They all want to lay on the piles of neatly folded items waiting to be put away (because I can't open the drawers lol) and things end up needing to be folded and re-folded. They're lucky they're so dang cute!
You're doing a great job working your way through all of those clothes, Mira, and you've let go of a lot! Yay, you! 🎉
People need 2 realize it's your clothes. It's your decision 2 sell or keep them.It's on your time & No 1 else's.❤😊
I'm glad you're persevering at a pace that works for you. We each have our own ways of tackling big jobs, and they often are not very pretty during the messy middle! I love your videos and look forward to your future sessions. T-shirt tower will be fun, I know.💗
Well, once again, the dogs stole the show. You and the boys make me laugh. You did an excellent job working on your montain of clothing. Perhaps some of your viewers do not understand how far you have come. Please just know that you have come very far in a short. I kept thinking that Colt's corner probably in chaos again. You are a brave soul my friend. Love and hugs!
Mira, loved the circus! Colt and Clay are just too cute for words.
You are doing great for a first pass! You go girl. It gets easier on subsequent passes.
And thanks for Mira’s Words of Wisdom and Compassion - we all need to learn to be easier on ourselves.
Good for you for sticking with it. Don't worry about what other people say about donating, you do you. :)
Oh Mira, they stole the show again❤lol
They really did. 😂
Yes Mira, first pass. There can always be a second, third, fourth and so on. I admire you.
Always love your videos, Mira! So proud of you and your progress! Even in the midst of crazy puppy antics - LOL!
Thank you so much!
Yet another of your videos I have to save! Those 2 pups and your contagious laughter are just too wonderful to play just once. This video will see many replays! Very motivating sorting and decluttering, too! I must give you an update on my chaos home. The boxes of to-be-decluttered stuff that covered my fireplace hearth and a half circle in front for the last 6 months is almost GONE! AND I’ve started re-decluttering and re-organizing kitchen cabinets! You have inspired me so much, and I’m getting things done! Thank you!
Watching you sort through mountains of clothes made me realize why my wardrobe is relatively small: I wear only solids - never any patterns! And the palette I gravitate to is neutrals, so there's only so many grey, beige, black, and white articles of clothing one can have without being redundant. All those funky patterns and colours are cute - no wonder it's tempting to have them all!
I’ve been watching some of your older videos again and enjoyed them just as much as the first time. You asked for ideas for statistics. I would be interested in learning how many bags of thread up you have sent in! I also really enjoy your maintenance videos as well. You my friend have made major accomplishments! I’m proud of you.
Thank you for the encouragement and acceptance. You have a great attitude. I've found (though I forget this sometimes) that the second pass is so productive.
You're making so much progress! Good job! Colt seems to be fitting in beautifully. Thank you for allowing us into your home. 👍☺️👍
Thank you! 😊
Bonjour Mira, is OK for the first pass, you decluttering more the next time. (it's a marathon not a race) ☺
Thank you!
I have ONE jacket I just can’t let go of . . . I’ve finally decided to use it to cover a cushion (red/magenta shot satin with little gold buttons). Maybe 2 cushions!
Wow you did Great! Don’t be sorry about keeping things that don’t fit, you do you! Don’t worry about what others think! Be proud of what you did! I’m proud of you! Love 💕 you and waiting for more videos! Wishing You and your 2 beautiful dogs 🐶 health, love and happiness always!🙋🏼♀️🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
Hi Mira, always awesome to see your progress, and so nice to hear you giggling your head off at those 2 clowns!
I did another round of clothes last week, I have a massive bag to sell, 3 bags to donate and one I'm keeping as "outdoor clothes" - I don't mind if they get a bit trashed doing dirty tasks.
I love everything that's in my wardrobe now. There may be some things I stop reaching for. Life changes, my body changes, my tastes have changed. It's all ok.
Well done! I'm so excited to follow your example and love everything in my wardrobe too.
You are still releasing a lot of clothes even if you are keeping a lot right now like you said first time around & you are doing fantastic Mira. Aww the sweet pups had a good afternoon playing that is real life distraction but that is a fun one.
The Great T-shirt Clean out of 2024 coming soon in a device in your home. I'm eagerly waiting for it.
You qre doing great with the peeling! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I got rid of all of my cold shoulder and loud graphic tops as I am bigger on the top than the bottom and loud shirts just made me look bigger. You just keep on going, Mira!
I'm stuck in my bedroom 😮
Unbelievable I call it spring cleaning 😂😂😂😂
Such entertaining characters. Well done not getting too distracted. I LOLed when you said oh dear and showed the reindeer jumper. It's a real pretty one, glad you are keeping it.
Giggle, giggle, giggle. You and your pups brighten my day.xx Ps you have some beautiful clothes.x
You are continually making progress, and that's a good thing. Keep it up!
Stop apologizing for what you keep. You are not going for minimalism. As long as you are focusing on a clean, healthy environment you can sustain, I say you have succeeded. What that looks like will change with your seasons of life, I'm sure. You are doing amazing!
Colt and clay are hilarious 😂. You did really well. You got rid of stuff and peeled a little bit more, that's what it's all about 😊
You are doing a great job letting clothes go. I am seeing the decisions getting easier for you. I am about to tackle summer pants!
Good luck! You can do it!
Great job Mira! Decluttering clothes is my hardest category especially the items for our fantasy selves. You are doing great!
You're doing great, from what I can see! Love the pups' antics - so cute! It's good to hear you laugh! Bless you for your words of encouragement at the end of the video, and your willingness to be vulnerable. Love you!
What i like to do is find one shirt that i think fits perfectly. I then use that shirt as a guide. I hold up other subsequent shirts up to that ideal shirt to see if they are the same. For example are the subsequent shirts long enough, wide enough, etc. Put one shirt on top of the other, match the shoulder seams to each other, then smooth the fabric down to see how they are alike or different. That way I don’t have to try on everything. It saves so much time and energy. It works really well for pants and sweaters too.
Mira, I admire you for tackling your clothing. Your dogs are so sweet & love to be with you. It makes me so happy to see that. You are so helpful & calming. I appreciate you! ❤
I'm here for the dogs and your laugh! Nothing more therapeutic than a pet that can make you laugh. If you got rid of anything in this session, I'll just have to believe you as I wasn't paying any attention to that. 😂😉❤️❤️ JK, of course. You did great this first time around!!
Ha ha, relatable. I honesty considered zooming in on the dog action and just calling it a shenanigans video.
Another terrific video! Your pup's antics made me laugh right along with you. I think you are doing an amazing job.
Thank you so much!
Good job! Slow and steady wins the race🙂
We love you Mira! I've never enjoyed the circus so much 😂
You are such a great dog mom! Keep going Mira!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
I'm getting more and more excited to see your closet before and afters Mira! 😊 Do you have a mental layout of what you want you're room to look like in the end? :) I'm going to recommend the channel ReIssued to you 'cause I feel like you'd like what Andrew is doing there! 😁 Hi to the Boys! 🐩🐩
oh Mira, this video had me in stitches haha! 😂😂😂
It’s so nice to hear you laugh ❤❤
