  • Join me as I do a full closet declutter of my already minimalist wardrobe and we can chat about how to declutter clothing with LESS STRESS so that you can have a more minimal wardrobe. I have been on my minimalism journey for 5 years now, so I have plenty of before and after decluttering tips and ideas to share with you today. While I LOVE Marie Kondo's KonMari method, I found it simply didn't work 100% for me -- with a lot of trial and error, I went from being a sentimental hoarder who couldn't let go of ANYTHING to a minimalist mom with a super simple wardrobe. Now, I am passionate about helping other women declutter, organize, and implement simple living PRACTICALLY in their homes. After extreme decluttering our home down to 8 suitcases, we are now a much happier minimalist family, enjoying this simple living mindset in our dream home in Europe! Minimalist mom life is 100x more awesome!

    So I totally don't want you to regret downsizing those cute "makes my food bleed" shoes, but for the future, a quick tip. The first time you wear new shoes, strappy in particular, carry a fingernail file.
    If you start to feel an uncomfortable rub, take the shoe off, file the rubbing spot a little to soften it up, and put it back on. This helps to more quickly develop the "broken-in" quality that makes clothes comfortable. Obviously, if you have to file to the point of making them look awful, it was just never gonna work- but typically it's not. Usually, it's slightly inside or a spot you cannot really see without close inspection.
    Since learning this trick, I've been able to make use of so many pairs I would have given up on. You can use body glide too, but that is just delaying the inevitable and it takes more room in your purse/pocket to store. The file is potentially a permenant fix.

    I have been a minimalist for several years. Personally I own 40 clothing pieces (not including undergarments, shoes or coats). This has gotten me through all 4 seasons (Canada -50C to +35C) for the last 2 years.

      Canadian minimalist here, too, but I probably have closer to 100 pieces. My summer and winter styles don't overlap a lot (t-shirts get worn all year), and I have a separate capsule for workwear that I never wear at home (but sometimes for going out or special occasions).
      I feel great about the amount of clothing I have! I just go through now and then to maintain it and make sure it suits my life and tastes NOW. I love that minimalism looks different for everyone. 💕

      @@itoshiibaka8267 100 pieces is great for what you need! 🙌 The good thing about having more pieces is also that you spread out the wear a bit. (I have found that since I own fewer pants they get holes in the knees faster, since I’m always crawling around on the floor with my kids hahaha.)

    My grams turned old underwire into little rags that would get used for greasy work.Like oil changes, oil spills, cleaning outside rust (I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, rain leads to so much rust) since you can’t get a lot oils out and you don’t care about throwing out panty and boxer cut up rags.

    In Germany there are containers you can put old clothes inside and they usually get donated or recycled. So you can put your underwear inside. They do have a responsibility to take care of the clothes. You can also put shoes inside.

    I'd love to see the shorts dyed! As a light skin person I avoid khaki or light pink pants or shorts because it almost makes me look naked on bottom from far away. A tip for the bras, clasp the band and then place them length ways, vertically in the box so the cups nest against each other because it's bad for their shape to fold in half and make one cup inside out like that. Really enjoyed the video!

    • @AtoZenLife

    You look best with dark colors especially while filming your lost in white. The shirt you you had on while sorting clothing was dark all features eyes especially pop.
    Consider maybe ask your followers. Please keep the programs rolling.
    I love the emotion you don’t hide you are very real and I think we all see it.
    Best to your success continuing.

    Hi! I'm a 16 y.o italian beginner minimalist, I Recently changed bedroom (december 2021) in my house since we added one during a recent restructuration, bifore that i decided to do a big declutter of all of my stuff that I had since I was a child including 5 big trashbags of clothes (i was keeping those for sentimental hoarding or for my mum saying "save that forse when you or your sister will grow up" but we never wore it) that I recicled either donated. I'm a sentimental hoarder but during adolescente I Went through ED and BPD caused by trauma and a pathological constant overthinking, i eventuali escaped from that by myself and i realizza i needed to do something to reduce the enormous amount of physical mess I had surrounding me (seeing too much mess, too many colours when i woke up and whenever I entered my room had me in so much anxiety everytime).
    Now I'm doing so much better with less stuff and neutral colours and I feel like I myself am getting better (still keeping my eccentric style in clothes). I cut (and am cutting) down my hobbies and the remaining hobbies' stuff. I also do constant clothing declutter since clothing is the almost only cathegory of stuff I buy. I started minimalism since I discovered your channel so thank you so much❤.
    I currently have 60 items of clothing not including underwear, dancewear (i'm an agonist), swimsuits, accessories (that I don't use so like 1 bag, 1 purse, 1 scarf, 1cap) and shoes (4 pairs in total). Do you think it is good? How can I do better?

    Hi there, in reference to your shorts and Oxi clean, I'd like to let you know that washing machines in Germany wash cloth differently than in the US, they actually increase the temperature as the wash cycle is on and get cloth so much cleaner than in the US, especially white cloth (in Germany you will not ever have to use bleach)...It's a better way of doing laundry (I think) and in the US the washing machines are getting better as well. I like when you are saying out loud the reasons to keep or get rid off things, thank you!

    For the shorts: Oxyclean is very expensive in Brazil too. What I do is use hydrogen peroxide for dying hair instead. See if you can get a small container and try it. I got this idea once on the supermarket, looking at how expensive oxyclean was, I took the tub and saw that the active ingredient is oxygen peroxide and thought - that one is easy, it's available for cheap in any hair product store. I bought a small container and tested - it did work - now I just buy the litter containers of the cheapest brand.

    I'm loving your videos!! I love your humor and your transparency. I can really relate to so much that you talk about. So here's a question I have - how should I handle parents that don't want to let go of their stuff but pass it on to me in hopes that I will keep it and and love it for them??? I'm not sure why I'm recognizing this now after years of excepting things from my parents that I didn't really want. But I think it's them not being able to let go of their past and loved ones that are gone. My mom has told me not to get rid of something that she gives me because a grandparent made it, or it was her Mom's etc, etc.

    You can buy european oxyclean like vanish for about 4,50 Euro in Every drugstore in germany. Even grocery Shops like Edeka or rewe have this stuff. Usually there are different brand names but they do their job, too. 😉

I ought to keep raspberry colored winter clothing for some strange reason? When I never wear that, or the other two similarly-colored winter tops? It's so funny why we think we "have" to keep things... And I'm so happily surprised at the size of the box I am filling up to rehome!

    Thank you Marrissa, great video, and letting us hear what you are thinking. Re recycling underwear. I cut off any non cotton (elastic tags etc) and put the 100% cotton in my worm farm (damp like a wrung out sponge) with food scraps. In my worm farms , as well as food scraps, I also put in damp cardboard, ground egg shells, cardboard egg cartons, torn towels etc. 100% natural, cotton, wool could also be layered into a compost pile. I love keeping things out of landfill. Re those pink shorts and unpractical super high maintenance white clothes. Oxy clean up stains (so glad to be nearly past a white shirt as part of my daughter’s school uniforms) yet are really terrible for the ocean and waterways. Your grey skirt looks so good on you. I know you got rid of it. Did you sell any of it? If so please keep on letting us know the figures. Marrissa, you are so inspiring!

    I LOVE dyeing stained/faded clothes. I try not to do it very often because I use Dylon washing machine dye rather than natural dye (their dyes work so well but are not plastic packaging free, which is something I try really hard to avoid) I often save up several pieces and dye them all the same colour. Looking forward to seeing how the shorts turn out! 🧡
