Thank you for the honesty about decluttering! I'm on my 5th closet declutter. 1) 2013 moved homes. I pulled all clothes from storage bins going back to 1990. 2) 2018/2019 discovered Marie Kondo. I became inspired. Started decluttering. 3) I was not happy with my first Spark Joy attempt and did a second declutter right after. 4) 2020, I got fed up with artificial cheap fabrics. I purged everything down to natural fabrics. I had 13 clothing items left in my wardrobe. 5) Currently I'm teaching myself about Capsule Wardrobes, Mindfulness, and Curating. I'm in the middle of my 5th wardrobe decluttering event. I'm not done and feeling burnt out. Your video was inspiring and comforting to know that it takes multiple attempts to achieve decluttering goals especially for wardrobes. And that's okay. Thank you. 💖
Well done for starting your decluttering journey, it sounds like you made great progress so far. But I'm sorry you feel burnt out, maybe you can take a break a little bit so you can feel better 😊 I also had moments in the beginning of my journey where it was a lot to deal with, but I found that if I only ever decluttered items I 100% didn't want anymore, decluttering became much easier and joyful, and all the "maybes" I simply left in my closet until I was 100% sure what to do about them. Yes, it may take a bit longer this way, but the journey is much more relaxing 😉 So good luck on your journey and I'm super happy this video provided some comfort and inspiration 😘❤️
Your tip about formally analyzing your clothes when you try them on by writing it all down is very smart and useful! I’ve always mentally done this, but it never occurred to me that I should write it down. I’d be willing to bet the writing it down method is significantly more effective. Thank you! :)
Every time I declutter I try everything on and ask myself if I would buy this item if I saw it in a shop. I often keep stuff for sentimental reasons, because I "used to like it," but when you don't think of it as "getting rid" of you posessions, but do it with a "choosing" your favourites mindset, it's much easier.
I enjoyed this. You actually have a realistic amount of items I feel. I watch one lady who I love but she only has ten items! One handbag! Living in the UK I couldn’t manage with that. Having the four seasons we need a few more than that! Thank you. You’ve helped me a lot.😊
This video is honestly very inspiring to me, Kim! Even though I'm in a good place now with my wardrobe and my style, I can't say that getting there was easy by any means. My shopping habits were very wasteful to say the least when I was younger, and when it came to my style, I only had one rule: if it's cute, then I have to have it! I also used to heavily rely on fast fashion or trendy pieces in order to feel cute or stylish. To be fair, there's still a couple fast fashion brands within my wardrobe now, but whenever I shop now, I try to go for secondhand options first. I'm also a huge sucker for quality over quantity, so whenever I get paid, I'll budget part of that money specifically for my wardrobe- and also for handbags sometimes. Needless to say that I've learned a lot about myself throughout my style evolution, but I'm happy with where I'm at now! 😊
Great video. You're right decluttering in stages is so important. I've done several. I still have more to go. But I don't feel the need to shop so much anymore.
Such a beautiful journey, and great advices! I have been decluttering my wardrobe for 2 years and it was until one month ago that I finally got to realize my preferences and style! I purchased before anything I found cute and after few months I ended up giving away a lot of those clothes because I never felt really well with them, I think after two years I decluttered at least 60% of my original closet but know I'm really happy with all the clothes I have, I got to finally purchase everything I do really like and feel well and finally analyze why I loved those clothes! ❤❤❤
Thank you for this informative video. It is so motivating that sometimes is needed to do more than one decluttering session. Now I understand why I wasn't succeed for first time. I really admire you that you have limited from 5 or 6 wardrobes to almost 2 wardrobes of clothes and you look so chic 😍
Yay, I'm glad it was helpful 😊 And yes, sometimes we need to do more than one decluttering session because we either have a really big wardrobe, or we just don't know our style very well - which in my case, both happened to be true 😉 And thank you for your nice words 😘
Appreciate the ruthless honesty. Also, it's so logical to have a space to put your lounge and athletic wear that you've worn but can wear again before washing. These items always end up on the chair in my room - but why not have a dedicated place for them? Duh. Also, so smart to have the belts displayed like that right next to the bottoms. I've done and watched a lot of closet declutters over the years and I've never seen those two tips, so thank you!
Excellent video! Very comprehensive and inspiring! Clothing is difficult though, because after I say to myself, "This suits me, this is what I like," then I see that the fashions have changed, and I question a lot all over again because I do see that some of the new fashions feel fun and fresh compared with what I have.
Thank you! 😊 And I know what you mean, because yes, there can be some new things we might want to try, I also try new things once in a while. But I did find that after discovering what I truly don't like on me (colour green, yellow, animal prints, heels over 10 cm, v-necks, u-necks, etc.), I never returned to those items, even with the trends and all, so maybe that's something you can try - to identify clothing details you don't like, and then you're future shopping selection will automatically stay smaller 💁♀️😘
Hi Kim! I just found your channel tonight and have been binge watching! I love your tips and explanations. I have decluttered several times and am still working on it. I want to begin seasonal capsules and downsize and shop smarter and I think your ideas are going to help immensely~
Welcome, I'm super happy to have you here! 🥰 Well done for decluttering, and if you ever have any topics or questions you want me to cover in future videos, feel free to let me know 😘❤️
Thank you for mentioning 3 sizes. I myself always have 2 sizes in 2 different shelves...weight fluctuations here- and I cannot throw away my smaller size pieces when I want to lose weight and it is my ultimate style. Great content! Thank you
Yes, I can definitely relate - I have a few pairs of jeans stored away at the moment because they're a bit too tight, hehe 🙈 But I know I love them and like you, I want to get back to my what I call "happy" weight 😉
@@KimBedene Yes, exactly that! I had a guilty conscience because I hadn't declutered them, so thank you for showing that other people deal with that as well. 😊 That smaller size pieces on my other shelf definitely inspire me to take care of my emotional eating and be the real me that I enjoy being. Baywatch (TV show from nineties) helps with my inspiration as well. ✌️😂
@@majatodorovic8683 Yes absolutely, if we know we're going to wear something in the future we can easily keep it - I personally just put it in storage or out of sight so it's not stressful, hehe 😉 Thanks for sharing, and good luck on your self-care journey, I definitely relate to emotional eating, hehe, so I wish you all the best 😘❤
Wait at @11:45 do you have the same pair of espadrilles? Thanks, I am inspired to declutter things that are "just in case" because I never use them as an option!!! haha.
I actually have one black pair of Castaner espadrilles with a higher heel, and one pair of white ones with a slightly lower heel 😊 And it makes me super happy this inspired you! 😘
I absolutely love your channel! Another small minimalist channel that I really enjoy is Level Blue, here on TH-cam. She’s such an elegant lady and her videos are so calming and helpful 🥰 Same as yours. I get so inspired to use what I already have and don’t buy too much stuff that I’ll never wear. I need to clean up my closet and give 50% of my clothes to charity or friends!
My parents forced me to declutter my stuff before I went to university because they didn't want to store it, so I'm always amazed that people keep their clothes from when they were kids 😅 Your style is so cool! I love that shade of red on you. I'm hoping to get into my personal style more but I'm waiting to get any new clothes until my weight stops fluctuating. Right now it's joggers all day everyday
Yes, looking back it's kinda crazy but in our home, it was actually the opposite - whenever I wanted to declutter something my mum said I should keep it just in case, or she didn't want me to let it go because it was a good brand. Luckily we've all evolved, hehe, and we can see it was fear holding us back 😊 Thank you for your kind words, also I exactly know what you mean - I also gained a few kilos during the lockdown, which I now mostly got off, but I was also in a phase of just wearing joggers or loose dresses and skirts for a while, hehe. It's part of life, but I'm happy that I waited until my weight settled again 😉
I love your capsule wardrobe! It seems you have really figured out your style and your colors, I see a lot of black with pops of red accents 🖤❤️ love that! I’m constantly evaluating my wardrobe so I declutter every month or two, but it may just be one piece that I’ve been noticing I don’t reach for. At this point I know what I will reach for and what just won’t work for me pretty quickly. That’s my biggest benefit of decluttering and finding my style! Adore your style and keep going on your minimalist journey!
Aw, thank you! 🥰 Yes, I definitely found my colours and silhouettes I feel best in, and it makes life so much easier, hehe 😉 And your method of decluttering is perfect to stay on top of a decluttered closet - once we know it's a no, it should go! Well done 💁♀️😘
I put on all my cloths and took a picture and reviewed the pictures after that helped. I also got rid of pieces that I could not find anything to wear with. Had to match at least 2 things.
Hi Kim! This week I'm about to do another declutter and I'll need to get a few things more. You're right, when you know your style it's just easier. I don't have that many clothes anymore (I use to have 45 handbags and now I declutter a lot like every few months and I have 15 right now). Thanks for your videos. They're really helpful!
Yes, absolutely, knowing your style is a game-changer! And well done for decluttering! 🥰😉 I'm also just editing the video on The best way to declutter clothes, which will be out either today or tomorrow, and it will go into even more detail about the decluttering method I touched on here 💁♀️ So if you're interested keep an eye out, and I hope it will as helpful as the other videos! ❤️
Thank you ❤for this video. I will keep your words in mind, but I will need to continuously remind myself, so I will have to watch this over and over again…😢I am also truly a shopaholic and even worse is a hoarder (as I have already told you) maybe because of depression…but am proud that I got rid of one big bag of clothes that were worn or too small yesterday thanks to you. I will try to try on things little by little to declutter and try to do that at least once a week until I downsize to a more manageable amount. I have maybe decluttered only 1% up to now.😅 I appreciate your replies. 🙏💕
No problem ❤️ That's why I created this channel, to share my story and inspire others, so I'm glad this is helpful. And like I said before - just keep on going, keep learning, and don't worry about making mistakes along the way. I made a lot of them, but they're just lessons that help us get where we want 🥰 Be proud of every % that you make on your journey 💁♀️
@@KimBedene Thank you.💐 I appreciate the encouragement and will continue my best (although the process is slower than I would like). Decluttering, I was able to only get rid of 1 cup ☕and 2 winter 🌧sweaters, but with great reluctance) in the time I had posted this up to now. I look forward to watching more of your videos when I can during the process. 😍
That was so much fun and very inspiring too! 😁 I really admire how you were able to get rid of the ‘teenage’ stuff. So hard with sentimental stuff but the end result looks so worth it. Ps your hair is looking great today
I'm super happy you enjoyed the video (and my hair, hehe) 😘 And luckily I'm not a sentimental person (hence the reason I have only two pictures, I deleted the rest a while ago 🙈), so it was pretty easy for me to let go of my teenage items.

Yes, I know what you mean, but I was referring to having clothes for my body in 3 different sizes, heh 🙈 And I agree finding your personal style is really important, I have other videos on that topic as well 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 😊 When it comes to skincare I post about it on my blog (kimbedene.com). This year I have a plan to post my minimal morning and also night skincare routine, and also my top 5 skincare products, but if there is anything in particular you would like me to cover let me know 🥰
Thank you, and welcome! 😊❤️ And I did actually use Cladwell app for a year (around 3 years ago) mostly to help me track how many times I wore a certain piece, but it didn’t have an option to add accessories at the time, plus it was payable, so for me it wasn’t worth it in the end 😃
I like that you advise people to wear clothes a few times before washing. Americans wash too much… that’s what creates the superbugs, too much unnecessary disinfecting. If a person is keeping good personal hygiene, their clothes shouldn’t become dirty after one wear. Just exfoliate regularly since the brown rim on the collar of white shirts, for example, is due to the shedding of dead skin, which happens to everyone. But you can reduce the staining by exfoliating your body on a good regular weekly schedule. TMI, but those are my thoughts!
It’s so fortunate that you didn’t grow up in today’s culture, because your parents might have put you on puberty blockers😢 But you are a gorgeous woman now. I was a tomboy too as a child.
I understand that it's easier to see things on hangers, but knitwear really shouldn't be hanged, it will lose its shape 😢. If you want your knitwear to last a long time and still look good, keep your cardigans and other knits folded. Personally I can't seem to declutter my closet because I sew, so every item is a potential sewing pattern, or a source of fabric...😅
Yes, even though my walk-in closet was tidy, I didn't really wear or enjoy most of it. When it comes to minimalism, the sense is that everything that isn't used or is bringing us down in one way or another is clutter and should therefore be decluttered 😊 Hope this helps!
I hope this story inspires you and if you want to know my decluttering process, watch my step-by-step closet decluttering guide here: th-cam.com/video/FYLR1_XlmGg/w-d-xo.html 😘❤️

Thank you ❤
I like that you advise people to wear clothes a few times before washing. Americans wash too much… that’s what creates the superbugs, too much unnecessary disinfecting. If a person is keeping good personal hygiene, their clothes shouldn’t become dirty after one wear. Just exfoliate regularly since the brown rim on the collar of white shirts, for example, is due to the shedding of dead skin, which happens to everyone. But you can reduce the staining by exfoliating your body on a good regular weekly schedule. TMI, but those are my thoughts!
I absolutely agree, and thanks for sharing about the exfoliating and white shirts, I didn't know that, super useful! 🥰

It’s so fortunate that you didn’t grow up in today’s culture, because your parents might have put you on puberty blockers😢 But you are a gorgeous woman now. I was a tomboy too as a child.
I understand that it's easier to see things on hangers, but knitwear really shouldn't be hanged, it will lose its shape 😢. If you want your knitwear to last a long time and still look good, keep your cardigans and other knits folded.
Personally I can't seem to declutter my closet because I sew, so every item is a potential sewing pattern, or a source of fabric...😅
I agree, that's why I have an extra shelf in my winter capsule wardrobe to fold my heavy knits 😊
Oh, my bad - I thought it heard you say cardigans when you were talking about the hanging storage😊@@KimBedene
@@Avenue_ad_Astra No problem, I still have some very light cardigans and jumpers on hangers, but everything that is heavy I fold 🥰
Why do you call it 'declutter'? What's cluttered' about your wardrobe? Is your wardrobe untidy? Or is it just full?
Yes, even though my walk-in closet was tidy, I didn't really wear or enjoy most of it. When it comes to minimalism, the sense is that everything that isn't used or is bringing us down in one way or another is clutter and should therefore be decluttered 😊 Hope this helps!
