*NEW!* Messy To Minimal: I tried decluttering like THE MINIMAL MOM! EXTREME CLOSET DECLUTTER METHOD

NEW! Messy To Minimal: I tried decluttering like THE MINIMAL MOM! EXTREME CLOSET DECLUTTER METHOD
Today, it's a GOOD one! I'm so excited to be trying out Dawn from ‪@TheMinimalMom‬ 's method for "reverse decluttering" my entire clothing collection. Go send Dawn some love! This video has tons of decluttering motivation, some clothing favorites of mine, a nice heart to heart about parting from clothing and what a struggle women/mamas can have surrounding their changing bodies and of course I give you a tour of the before and after so you can see the changes I made to simplify my closet!

    You are like a breath of fresh air (and in Oregon w/the fires that means something : ) Nothing & mean nothing has *motivated me to declutter my closet/clothes until your video.* I really like Dawn's last two video's of helping the lady with 9 boys and your video, it's so raw - exactly what I am experiencing and how to plow through with a method that will work for me. I kind of didn't get Dawn when she decluttered her clothes but I understand you. And WOW you kept only 100 items total, congratu- lations :-D *Thank you for sharing your method and what you actually kept ie 3 of this, 3 of that. I think I can this now, again - thank you Natalie.*

Thank you for candidly sharing your journey through the ups and downs of life because we all have them. As women, we are the crown of creation that God put into place. You've always worn His Glory well :) 💖

    💛 This helped me realize I truly don’t have that much clothing! I think the amount I have now is comparable to what you have now. I’ve slowly been getting rid of things as I realize a ton of the trendy stuff really doesn’t suit me. I’m still so unhappy with my wardrobe sometimes, but I think it’s mainly because I don’t actually have a real closet right now and no money to fill in the gaps I’m feeling in my wardrobe. That’s okay. This is the season I’m in, and this helped me realize that it’s nothing wrong that I’m doing! This did make me want to go back through it all though and be honest about what I’m not going to wear. 🤨

    Between you and your last capsule wardrobe video and that video of Dawns where she explains making yourself a uniform, I'm now at the first time in my entire life where I actually love and regularly wear everything hanging in my wardrobe and it is utterly life changing. I don't need to think about what I'm going to wear anymore. It takes me seconds to get dressed in a morning. I don't have to fight with a thousands things that aren't quite right. I feel confident and comfortable in my outfits literally everyday. And tidying up after doing laundry is a breeze. That comment "I deserve to have clothes that fit me *now*" that Dawn made in that video really stuck with me too and also something you said about only having things in your wardrobe that fit the chapter of your life that you're in right now. Such good advice. Thank you so much. ❤

    Oh Natalie! I was cheering so hard for you when you were trying to make the decision about the tote under your bed. My advice would have been ‘make the container (closet/dresser) the bad guy’. Make that container your only clothing storage. You were able to just let them go! I also agree with you keeping that small container of ‘just in case’. I’m kind of calling mine a quarantine bin…knowing I’ll probably purge it later, but I’m not going to beat myself up if that is still there six months from now. Seasons and sizes change! Fitting everything in your closet will feel so good long-term! I’m like you - I can’t stand having those totes hanging over my head or hiding under the bed!!! 😉💖 You have been an inspiration to me! I’ve only been on this journey for a few months… And I have 30 years of marriage that has been sentimentally (hoarded) stored throughout my house. I have gone through slowly and done it in layers like Dawn discussed. I’m getting ready to tackle the attic… The last frontier lol! I do believe there will be a lot of emotions though. Totes of holiday Decor and children’s toys and keepsakes. As a teacher I’ve claimed this summer as the year I take my house back - With the help of my KZread friends! Lol Thanks so much for your content! Blessings to you!

When it was all complete, and became time to start pulling things back into the room, there was just a lot of old stuff i did not want to display in my new clean space. I didn't want old clothes stored in my new closet/dresser. I brought things in piece by piece and sold what was leftover at a garage sale.. that i actually replaced what it cost to do the flooring. :D I love starting a major declutter with a completely blank canvas!

    I have trouble decluttering my wardrobe not because of body changes but because of money. I grew up with 2 siblings and a single mum, so money was always an issue. As soon as I earned my own money I kinda became addicted to shopping. Now I battle this on and off. Sometimes I can get rid of so much and feel more free. Sometimes I fall back into buying clothes just to have more. Your videos always help me to question my actions and clean my mind a bit so I can clean my stuff and feel more free again. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

So I have a box of maternity clothes, a closet of what fits me while I'm breastfeeding (because I never lose all the weight till I wean), and a box of things that may fit me again someday.

    I’m also a Floridian (born and raised). Knitting is my passion and my weakness is SHAWLS of all things! I need to start giving some of them away, I guess, or I won’t be able to justify making any more.

    Wow, thank you! You said something about how your body is different but you are healthier. I have dealt with gut issues, sibs, and now have fibromyalgia. I have been dealing with the body issues of the fact that I have on more weight but I feel so much better rather than being skin and bones. I needed to hear what you said! Thank you!

    Thank you Natalie for another inspirational video. I have found that donating my clothes to our local women's shelter has made me understand need versus want. So many people can benefit when you realize how little we really need and give up our excess. I have learned so much from you and Dawn.

    I remember spending two weeks salary on a gorgeous off white linen suit that made me feel like a million dollars, and being so sad when I had to let it go. The end of the single business woman era. Feel the emotions my dear.

    Thank you so much for sharing your emotions about this. I have been struggling with decluttering because of the "hope in getting back to pre-baby size". I have been trying to get past these struggles too. Thank you for helping me through these emotions with your experience. Thank you for your faith and for sharing how you processed through! You are an inspiring human!!

    You’re so right when you say it feels better to donate it instead of feeling guilty and keeping it. After I watched your video I felt more motivated to part with some clothing items I’d been making excuses for and kept holding onto. Letting go of those items did make me feel more relieved and at peace. I’m always looking for ways and ideas to make my home feel more peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for all the information you share. It’s really appreciated! :)

    When going thru divorce my bestie used the 100 method. She kept 100 things in her kitchen,100 items in the garage, 100 bks & CDs & DVDs, 100 items in clothes closet,100 items in attic storage (kids momentos, photos, & decorations),100 items in utility room & hall closets. I helped her go thru stuff because I wasn't sentimentally attached to her belongings. We got rid of sooo much in one 3 day wknd. She was so happy. She even downsized her home, moving from 4 bdrm house to 3 bdrm condo. She now raves about the 100 method & how lighter her emotions are. 🙂

We are so quick to dress up growing bellies but I feel society stops us short after giving birth and we suddenly don't know how to handle or dress (or really even celebrate how amazing our bodies truly are!) ourselves afterwards! Deserving clothes that fit us as we are now is so true! Sidenote the 'hidden places' of our houses could be a good video to cover! I am off to tackle our guest bedroom which doubles as our catch all, will be watching your house declutter to get me through this 🙈🙉

I was also hanging onto and clothing that didn’t fit but was causing guilt and body shame. I appreciate your heart and love that your prioritizing your health.
