It's sooo true about the "fantasy" person we're all buying for. I'm 36... if I haven't become this fantasy person who wears cool blazers and dress pants or wears fairy dresses, it's never gonna happen lol. You've motivated me to do a big purge that I've been needing to, and focus on finding the fewer, high quality pieces that are missing from my REAL self's wardrobe.

Oh my word! Yes! You explained it perfectly. If I haven’t turned into this fantasy self I have in my head by now…it ain’t gonna happen! Love this! ❤️❤️❤️

I agree with this explanation. Many of us have a vision of our fantasy life and what we would wear in it. Thats why we buy too many clothes for events that we don't go to, clothes that we don't work out in and for dates we don't go on. I haven't seen your other videos. Maybe you explain this in other declutters. I would like to see what you decluttered and why you eliminated the item. It's helpful to have some background. Also, are you selling or donating those items. If you are selling them, maybe you could share your size. Maybe someone would want to buy them. As a reseller, this could be good for your business and good for the planet.

My closet thanks you! I went in there & cleaned out two medium sized "trash bags" worth of clothes to include coats. Much of the things I still liked, but what good is liking an item if you don't wear it... EVER? So, the bags are in the back seat of my car ready to be donated. One rule I have made for myself while thrifting: I do not allow myself to look at clothes. I have more than a plenty so no need to even look.

Yay, Sandy! I have made a commitment to myself to not bring home any clothing for myself. I do buy some clothing to resale but I am committed to not buy anything for me. And I have to say that after making my “uniforms” I don’t feel the urge to even look at them. ❤️❤️❤️

I did this a few years ago after I retired from work. I downsized my house and now my closet is only 36" wide, so it was necessary. I now have more stay at home clothes and a few dressy outfits. I don't miss all those extra clothes and your right, my stress level has dropped.

Trisha, you are so right!!!! I would get stressed walking into my closet just to find something to wear. And for what reason???? Now, I know exactly what to wear for whatever activity I have going on that day. ❤️❤️❤️

VERY GOOD!!! So true about that fantasy person we buy for, Nice Job!!!

Great video. I like your idea of creating "uniforms" for different activities. I recently did a major clean out. I'd already done a clean out a couple years ago where I got rid of everything that didn't fit or I didn't love, but I still had a lot and it created too many choices. In all, I let go of about 40 pieces. I thought I might have regrets about some of them, but that hasn't happened (I did make about $250 selling on eBay and to a local second hand store. One of my criteria was to keep neutrals and items in just two accent colors that I know look good on me. I'm so happy with the end result!

Pam, I feel the same. I have no regrets with what I parted with because it released the burden I felt each time I walked into my closet knowing I had so many items I paid good money for and never wore. I love the end result. Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️

Love the truthfullness of this video..In my 30's and 40's I was the woman who coordinated everything..clothes, handbags, jewelry, scarves..2 years ago I turned 60 and just looked at all that I had accumulated and realized I truly was wearing about 10% of it. I donated over 50% of my things...over 300 pieces to a community clothes closet that supplies clothing to women in need. I felt good about it and I miss none of it. I still have too much... but find it soo much easier to choose daily what to wear and am doing the "hanger flip" method to see what I wear now..and am going to purge again this summer. Keep motivating people- we need too see realistic purges like this.

Love how you put into words what many of us are doing. We have all shopped those fantasy clothes that end up not worn and taking up real estate. I recently did the same as you. Losing 20 lbs was my motivation. It took several times through but now i have only those pieces I absolutely love and are timeless. Good work girl!

Helene, I love looking at clothing, and imagining myself dressing up to go to a cute cafe or having a girls day out. And you know what…it never happens! 😂 So, now I’m going to enjoy the idea of wearing the clothing but leave it on the rack. It’s kind of like planning a vacation. Sometimes the planning is more fun than the actual vacation. ❤️❤️❤️

I take one bag to a nice Consignment Shop to sell and one bag to Goodwill to donate twice a year (Summer and Winter). That keeps some mad money coming in and my closet organized. And I too buy gently worn clothing on eBay when I see something I like that is too expensive and also shop after season items at my favorite shops. It’s a great system that I’ve had for many years. Glad to see you on board! 👍🏻👏🏻

I kind of love my boring life and I had to come to terms with my clothing and be more realistic. ❤️❤️❤️

I have 2 categories in my closet - dresses and jeans. I’m a dress gal. I love dresses. And I love jeans. I need to purge more though 🤦‍♀ I find if I try everything on it helps me in the decision making. So I will throw on a fave pair of jeans and try on every top with it. Then ask ‘can I wear this top with a skirt, nice pants, etc.’ I also sew and alter many of my items if needed. And I like buying secondhand. My dilemma is either purge more, or kick the hubby out of the walk-in closet. 😂

Wow you do it all! 😂 great job organizing those clothes! 😊 keep up the goodwork with your videos the curated life! ☺️

I'm 66. I don't care about fashion, brand names, etc. I'm not buying for a fantasy self. I believe that I buy because I'm afraid that after retirement, we won't have the money for more. I always buy second-hand or clearance/sale/coupon, etc. I've lost weight and purged a couple of times, but still have a lot of clothing. I've decided that anything else I buy will be better quality stuff. I'm having to buy more warmer clothes cause with the weight loss has come being cold. Something I could never imagine when I was young and a lot heavier. So, fear seems to be the motivation for me. Love you and your videos, Sherri! Could watch every day.

Great video! I just did this last week. I hope you checked pockets. I found $55. in a skirt pocket! I know I haven’t worn that skirt in at least 2 years.smh. Also, a trick I have seen is to turn the hangers around. When you wear something and put it back, hang it normally. Then, after a while, you can see what you are skipping over. Then you can decide if it’s time to let it go. Did I miss a live chat? On KZread?? Shoot!🤦🏼‍♀️

I have a 3-way trick. At the beginning of the season I turn all the clothes facing away from the door of the closet. When I wear an item I turn it face forward. If I wear an item, but it doesn't need washing yet, I hang it with the hanger turned the other way ie still facing forward, but the hanger coming over the rack from the back. At the end of the season I make sure the slightly worn clothes all get washed so that body odour or unnoticed dirt doesn't get to set in while those items are "resting". As the season goes on, I pay some extra attention to the backward facing clothes, to see if there's an opportunity for them.

I always joke with her about her one purse and 20 year old shoes but she can get dressed quicker than I can, that’s for sure! And she’s saved a lot more money than me by keeping it simple. ❤️❤️❤️
