I also downsized big time now I have 2 pair of winter shoes, 1 pair summer flats, 3 gym shoes and 1 pair of sandals, ohhhhh soooo proud of myself, then moved on to my winter wardrobe and can't wait for it to get warmer to tackle summer clothes.
I used to have such a hard time getting rid of things, too. But then I started thanking the things I wanted to donate/throw out, and it actually made me feel so much better about getting rid of them. I know it sounds crazy, but it actually works!
I would love to see a declutter of your clothes as well! Also, I think decluttering is a process for sure! I've gradually decreased what I own and it gets easier and easier every time. I think you're doing great! :D
I'm not big on the one in one out rule but an area in my life that it seems to work with are shoes (and makeup) I'm on day 3 of doing the minimalist challenge again and I think the one area I don't need to look at is my shoes because of that. Good work Lady! The first time I did my biggest konmari/minimalist clean out was during a broken heart , it helped so much (not saying that's why you're doing it)
I love your decluttering videos, I find them so relaxing and inspiring! At the moment I don't have much to declutter though, since I just moved to London and I currently only have three pairs of shoes with me, hahah
Don't be too hard on yourself. Many girls have a tendency to collect things we love. Im the same and I think most girls can relate. I don't think its a wrong thing or a flawed character or anything, so don't judge yourself. But know that shoes can always be recycled to avoid some of their materials to go in the trash and remain as pollution for a good 1-10.000 years. Some of the materials that all shoes basically contain, cant disintegrate and will only avoid becoming pollution if they're recycled and not thrown in the trash.
Not meaning to be critical about the whole "shoes in the trash" thing but just thought it could contribute to feeling good about this declutter if knowing that shoes don't have to become pollution for the non disintegrating materials, but can be recycled very well. They can also be donated and if they're screened as not good enough for donation by the staff where you donate them, those staff themselves will make sure the shoes go to recycling. They wont throw the shoes in the trash, so its safe to donate without risking pollution.
I LOVE this video! :) I am a minimalist, so I don't really own a lot of stuff, but I really enjoyed seeing you decluttering. It makes life SO MUCH easier. You also look so pretty and beautiful. :)
I would also add a pile for things to take to a cobbler! I find that all too often shoes get tossed or replaced for reasons that can be easily mended, which sucks especially if it's a pair you've spent a fair bit on. Better for the environment, and you get to keep the shoes you love :)
It's so different depending on age and season of life. I'm 50, so downsizing shoes is pretty straightforward. But for my teen daughter who loves fashion and is still figuring out who she is (and that changes monthly), it's a MUCH muddier process. I think for a woman your age, you're doing great just to make the effort. Good for you.
hey katie! First of all i love your videos and your tipps in this one are really helpful. I would love to see your other decluttering video xx from germany
next time you have slightly grubby shoes, or clothes for that matter, consider taking them to a charity shop, someone might know how, and have the time to clean them and it would make their day to find any of these.
Loved the video Katie! My jaw dropped when you said you had 74 pairs of shoes! You should check out Australian UA-camr muchelleb, she did a simplify your life challenge which involved physical and mental decluttering, I think you'll find those videos helpful
Have you been on the amino minimalism app?? It's really good I'm addicted I have nearly 1000 followers! I write a daily blog, It's basically people sharing their minimalism journey! Tons of hints and tips on there! Also the book Marie Kondo the life changing magic of tidying is perfect for decluttering she suggesting tidying by item and not by room and keeping the things that bring you joy! If you have Netflix there is a documentary called minimalism on there! It is a real eye opener! Videos like this are very inspiring! I sorted my shoes a few weeks back! I had 21 pairs of shoes and now I have 10 pairs! Lucy 😊
I have 150+ shoes minus the ones I already sold on my poshmark (AfrikanReine) but I know I'm a shoe hoarder, I buy shoes over bags, it's hard for me to get rid of them since I'm too attach which is never good to get attach to materialistic items
Do not be so hard on you. I have 80 after a massive clean... to mention the bags which comes to 78 after cleaning too and they are all high end. So take it slow... love your channel!
Great work! But know that shoes should NEVER be thrown away! The ones that are too worn out, broken, etc to donate because they simply cannot be worn anymore, can be RECYCLED instead! There are materials in some shoes, sneakers especially, that won't disintegrate for thousands of years! But they can be recycled! Never ever throw shoes in the trash!
I did this too I got rid of 20 I chicked the worn out, donated the ones which I don't wear or hurt me give me blisters every time i wore them or ones I hated i only kept the ones which I love and know I will get use of and not hurt me.
After decluttering I have just 11 pairs of shoes in total! Check out my shoe decluttering video if you're interested :) Well done Katie on your clearout, you really cut down your shoe collection significantly!
Thats nothing! I have over 90 pairs of shoes. None are the same, so they aren't going anywhere! I just store them under my bed if I'm not wearing them. 😂

I bought the beige, platform shoes off of depop. Have worn them so much and were such a bargain! Xx
Ah great news!! Glad you love them :) xxxxx
Your shoe collection made me so happy XD even though there was an extreme amount 😂😉 I loved the video Katie! 💕

74 pairs!!! I only have 3 and that includes school shoes
Me to. I also have 3 shoes. one for exercise, one for each day and one for the beach. I don't see the point in having more shoes.
Jana Stor ... maybe one for rainy days, one for cold ones, one for formal events, and slippers at home
yay loved this and yay for a clothes one your looking fab Katie love the hair 😍😍
Would love to see you declutter your clothes ! Xx

So jealous of your amazing shoe collection!
You are soon bad for keeping duplicates! I'm yelling at the screen, hahahah! Love you. x
Hahahhaha!!! I know :( love you millions xxx
My OCD screams from walking in heels on that carpet 😁

hey katie! First of all i love your videos and your tipps in this one are really helpful.
I would love to see your other decluttering video xx from germany
oh and maybe a tip is to ask your self " if you would buy this item again in a shop" if not you don´t need it.
Or would you buy this full price? Works with me
You are looking amazing!! You look like your doing better love... keep on holding that head high!!
I would watch any declutter video you can come up with!
I love your de-cluttering videos Katie! They even inspired me to do my own on my channel! :) xx
I'm on the same journey!!!! I wonna be a minimalist
next time you have slightly grubby shoes, or clothes for that matter, consider taking them to a charity shop, someone might know how, and have the time to clean them and it would make their day to find any of these.
P.s love those black public desire shoes on you!!

Well done Katie on your clearout, you really cut down your shoe collection significantly!

Oh this is so helpful, I'm terrible!
I got rid of 26 pairs of heels last year 🙈
Great tips. I would love to share this on my channel, I would of course include links and credit you. Please let me know x
you're adorable great job decluttering Im in the same process in my home
Those mint ones you threw away would of been fine to donate. Yeah they were a little grubby but nothing that couldn't of been cleaned. It's a shame.
I have 8 pair of shoes.....I used to have 40+ pairs.....how did that even fit in my poor closet
U look like Snow White
Katie, im love zour high heels
Hi? can you give me some heels? for my prom day.. THank you ! im from phillippines
Only 5 pairs here, and that including 2 pairs of flip-flops... But I'm a guy, so... ^.^
I've been studying ways to de-clutter and discovered an awesome website at Nilah declutter tips (check it out on google)
Oh my god i couldnt watch without looking to your beautiful face . God bless you.
Thats nothing! I have over 90 pairs of shoes. None are the same, so they aren't going anywhere! I just store them under my bed if I'm not wearing them. 😂
I wonder how much that 74 pairs of shoes were worth? And what else you could have done with the money? Good on u. That's a lot of shoes.
