I remember back in the day I had lots of clothes . Now that I am retired. I have minimal clothing and wear everything I have and enjoy them more and helps my budget. It’s so liberating to clear out and let it go. Way to go !!!!! ❤️
Thanks, Angela. This was totally inspiring. I finally got off of my butt, and decided that I'm never going to fit into size 2 skinny jeans again. I've gained 5lbs in the last year or so (yes, it makes a difference when you are only 5'). Body weight also shifts with age. Still eating the same way, and working out. Won't budge, so they are now bagged up for donations. It was liberating.
And other items of clothing that I swore I'd wear again, but never do, gone as well.
Thanks for the inspiration! ❤❤
Ditto.
I often wonder what influencers do with all the clothes they have?! I love closet cleanouts, in fact I may love them too much, I'm kinda obsessed! In order to prevent excess, I've created a few clothing rules and it has helped tremendously! I also count my clothing to prevent excess, if I'm going to buy something, I donate or sell another in exchange, and I only buy pieces I will currently wear, that fit my body now, that I actually need. That's just a few.
Two tips: 1) hang EVERYTHING inside out to avoid "hanger bumps" and 2) turn all hangers "backwards" (the open part of the top facing out) and when you wear a garment and rehang, turn the hanger frontwards. After a year any hangers that are still facing backwards - you have not worn that garment, so pitch it.
Great idea
Love these tips!
Angela, I just purged about 15 scarves. Gone are the infinity scarves (not in fashion anymore they say), thick, bulky scarves, and loud colors. I’m sticking with neutrals and softer colors from now on. Here are my tips for keeping an organized closet and not overspending on clothes: #1: When I buy a new item, I donate a item. Yes, the donated item is usually something I still like and can still get into, but, if I haven’t worn it in a year, I’ll probably never wear it. #2: I don’t buy something unless I need it. For example, I only buy clothes when they wear out or I can’t fit in them. #3: Make it a routine to purge clothing and organize. Like scheduling a dentist appointment, pick a time of the year to go through your’s (or hubby’s) clothes. I do it when I rotate my spring/summer with my fall/winter wardrobe. I literally move the clothes to another spare closet and this gives me an opportunity to view, sort, and go through clothes to donate. This goes for everything: clothes, shoes, and undies. Thanks for sharing your tips and more ways to have a minimalist wardrobe. 😊
I did a big closet clean out after losing weight, and it felt so good! I did buy some pretty hangers, and am mixing up the colors to designate the difference between casual and dressy pieces. It makes my closet look for organized. My husband & I share a decent sized closet, but not enough room for everything so my clothes are a bit smushed. But there are about half the amount of clothes there used to be, and I love it!
I have a suggestion: maybe fold your grandpa's sweatshirt & the outfit your grandma made, and add them to the drawer with your dad's tshirts? This way all the memory pieces are together. I'd be nervous about getting shoulder marks from years on the hangers.
Great effort Angela. It’s a relief when you clear things out isn’t it? 👏
I know you said your hangers don't bother you, but just think of how nice it would look if they all matched and were the same color! T j, maxx and similar stores have the velvet type ones for next to nothing😊
You are so inspiring! After watching this I can't wait to begin tackling my closet. I have one idea for the shoe area in your closet. I would recommend storing one belt in each of the cubbies. That way if you need a specific belt you can easily see and find the needed belt. Just an idea. Thanks again for sharing and inspiring!
That's a good idea! When Angela showed how she stores her belts, I immediately said, "she's never going to re-coil those belts like that, after she takes one out to wear it". Your suggestion makes a lot of sense. 😊
Good idea.....I'm going to give it a try 👍🏻
@@rosej9686 I was thinking the same thing, those belts are not staying nice at all. My husband bought a belt holder that each one is coiled up individually and in a slot. He loves it.
Or simply just get a belt ring. All your belts are visible and easy to take off and put back.
Exactly what I was thinking, about putting a belt into each small, unused 'shoe' space 😊
You are a brave woman tackling the whole closet at once! I can only handle one season at a time, if that!
Great job - I've been doing this too. Even though some of my clothes still fit, my 62-yr old self is never going to wear them again! And that look on your husband's face when he saw your closet was not just surprise, but the thought of how much new stuff you were going to buy to fill up all that space - lol!
Love a good closet clean out!
You could put your belts in the shoe organizer slots…one belt per slot…
Hi I watched you awhile back but I found you today when I really needed a distraction lol thank you good women our so important I’m smiling 😊I’m 74 years young you are the best just don’t stop
I go through my closets about 3x a year. I started out with a Spring/summer closet and a Fall/Winter closet. Bought too many clothes from watching too many influencers like you! Hahaha. Now I bag them in space bags and swap out my closets to our storage unit where we keep our summer gazebo/patio cushions, etc. I don’t buy as much as I used to and I do donate a lot. Last year I had 2 weddings to attend, so I Lost 20 pounds, (2sizes) sadly I gained it back over the too long, sickly winter (I was unable to exercise) so I am here to warn people… DO NOT get rid of your 1 to 2 size up clothes! Esp jeans! Most likely you will gain it back and will be so happy you kept your faves from those sizes. (I refuse to buy new fat clothes! ) Keep the classics too some things never go out of style and always come back in!! Nice closet! Nice job!
Great job, Angela! You are a true inspiration. Just an option to switch to velvet hangers. You will easily save 50% of space. I was amazed when I switched to them.
Angela, what an improvement, but Girl, buy all matching velvet hangers. Lets get real!
It honestly doesn't bother me...sorry 🤣
I cleaned out my closet and gave a bunch to my daughter. The rest I donated to charity. It’s refreshing. Your closet looks great!
Holy cow!!! 😳I started cleaning my closet 3 hours ago, getting so overwhelmed. I decided to take a break to watch some YT and saw this in my feed. 👀 😮
The Universe is telling me to keep going! Thank you for the inspiration 😊😊
Lol, Yep, seeing this video was telling you to keep going.....the end result is worth it!! 😊👍🏻
Wow, I thought I had a lot of clothes! Nope 🤣 Good job!
This was sooooo freakin awesome and inspirational -- I related so much to the beginning on what the closet realistically looked like. You should add a scented candle and maybe a center tall table for jewelry, and some zen lighting and art to make it really feminine - will be great place to hang out and put outfits together! Also roll your scarfs into those little squares and put belts on the freed up hooks -
I wish I had a closet that big.😂 . I too was a cake decorator, retired. I have a tip for you. When stacking your shorts etc. alternate the shorts - waist band at the top, waist band at the bottom, waistband at top, waistband at the bottom etc. . Stacking folded tees, fold the sleeve to the front, next one fold the sleeve back, etc. these two different ways keep the stack flattened and not wonky. Your daughter is so beautiful.
Great job! You have a nice size closet. It’s not easy to do, but you did it! I love the set your Grandma made for you, that is precious.
Excellent job organizing and decluttering your closet, Angela! Great advice about what to keep and what to pitch. Before donating everything to charity, please be aware that online consignment stores (like ThredUp) will sell expensive designer brands that no longer work for you.
Love the before and after closet clean out. Your five tips to help make a decision is really spot on. Now I’m going to tackle my closet. Thanks for the motivation.
Love your closet system! Have you ever considered having the sentimental clothing you have tucked away and forgotten converted into a quilt? I have a neighbor who quilts, and they turn out beautiful, not to mention so meaningful!!
Thanks for the tips to get organized!
another great idea! Thank you!
I totally agree with you regarding keeping one size down. I have been working out 5 days a week, so it’s motivation for me!!!
Wow! You did a great job, Angela! You got me motivated!
I love the clean out! Also, just in my own closet, I have all hangers in the same color, and group my clothing by sleeve length and color. So easy to decide what I want to grab and go!
Maybe use the shoe organizer for your belts and extra scarves?!?
Every Fall & Spring I go through my closet and get rid of stuff I haven’t worn in years or is damaged. I have a donate bag ready to be filled as I go. It helps me see what I have for the next season
When i start im always like "ugh what a mess" but then i get going and on a roll. It is a personal triumph when done. Especially give them to charity....times are tight and i even have family who i can pass kids clothing to. ❤
Maybe the Grandma sweatsuit and the grampa sweatshirt can go in the drawer with the sentimental t shirts?
I’d use those shoe cubbies for rolled up belts and scarves! Each piece could have its own spot. Now to go clean my own closet…😉
That is a big job and looks great! Have you ever thought about rolling your belts up and soring them in the shoe compartment. The scarves could be folded and tucked into each cubby as well so you can easily see each one. I am just sitting her now thinking of all the stuff I could store in those handy little spaces! I may be a hoarder. Thank you for this video. I love the practical and idea driven videos more than the hauls.
Cheers for the great job!
I LOVE how ruthless you are in tossing... I am too! During my recent weight loss journey, I have tried on EVERYTHING as I go through my clothing. There are many things I kept that I can now wear again. My getting out my sewing machine, I have not altered some items to fit better than they did before! I am trying not to buy more clothes. By keep things organized according to colors and season of use, I am now wearing my clothes on a more regular basis.
Hi Angela, I think so many of us can relate. I always try to organize my closet, but it’s never an easy task. I have too many clothes, and especially jeans, some with tickets still on. I’m one of those people who has tons of clothes, and when it’s time to go somewhere, other than work, I have nothing to wear, and have to run out and buy something new. I love your fun videos, and your closet looks organized and beautiful. Thanks for the motivation. Your daughter is beautiful like her mom and your husband is so handsome. They both looked so happy to see your beautiful organized closet. Thanks Angela.
Gonna tackle one dresser. Thank you for sharing
Great job Angela 👏🏻. I had my Dad’s shirts/sweatshirts made into pillows and gave one to each grandchild.
When you were going through some of the clothes, I was wishing I was there cause they were some that I wanted 😂!
Time to go shopping now 🤭
I have a small closet so it’s one area! Your closet didn’t look bad at all in the beginning!
I invited my daughter and daughter-in-law to shop in my closet for free. They helped me and got a few new pieces for their work days.
That is awesome! 😊👍🏻
Very satisfying results.
Great job, Angela.
One small suggestion. Switch out the hanger colors. Use all turquoise hangers for skirts and dresses, black hangers for pants, white hangers for tops, turquoise hangers for jean jackets, etc.
It might make a visual difference and you might feel more organized. You won’t have to spend more money.
Last suggestion. Put the two fabulous Dad t-shirts out and put your empty hangers in the bottom drawer.
I would use the shoe cubbies to organize belts and scarves.
I can only do a small section at a time, like once every 2 weeks. I keep a trash bag in the back of my closet and put items in it when the mood strikes as well. Like you put on an item you think you will wear for the day and realize that it is too out of date or doesn't fit. Out it goes! You did a great job tackling that all at once (or over the 2 or 3 days that this was filmed)!
I call that a "to go bag." It's for stuff that's got to go!
Thank you for sharing your closet declutter journey with us! I'm about to move to The Villages and am working on a whole-house declutter. I appreciate the encouragement. By the way, your daughter is stunning!
I have been going through my closets for two summers...and have really gotten rid of so much, including shoes and jewelry. If feels good, doesn't it. I am shocked that you don't have more clothes...LOL...not that you need more. I think I am a clothes obsessive, unfortunately! LOL
Thank you Angela for the motivation. Sweedish death cleaning is on my agenda you just gave me a nudge to start. What a good looking family you are!
I really loved this closet clean out video. Very inspiring.
Why don’t you use slim velvet hangers, clothes don’t slip and slide? I am proud of you❣️
Velvet hangers also give more space. Pant hangers are also great. You can hang 4-6 pairs on one rack. I purge my closet continuously and major clean out about 3 times a year. It's always BIG boxes full of stuff. You did a great job Angela!
I loved this, Angela--your family is so cute & supportive too!! I keep my closet pretty tidy but I do have hidden PILES (under all the hanging clothes) of "maybe someday, they'll fit again" and gosh, they're probably out-dated if I'd really go through them now. You gave such good tips at the end and you have me inspired to go thru those hidden clothes now! thank-you so much!!
One of your better recent videos. After a series of moves I discarded and donated a ton of "contractor size" garbage bags filled with very usable clothes to charity. No regrets...
Looks wonderful. Thank for sharing your clean out. I did a lot of cleanup. Still a little more to go. ❤
Great job you could see a huge difference. One problem I have is light, my wardrobe is very dark and things get hidden. Solved it a little with rechargeable strip lights.
I would knock out those shoe cubbys you dont use and make shelves. Thats awesome storage space. Great job!
Great job, Angela! I am looking forward to cleaning out my closet after my second knee surgery. My husband and I cleaned out our 2 adult autistic sons closets at their group home over the last 3 weeks. My goodness it was overwhelming! They had acquired tons of clothing, coloring books, broken toys, etc. We ordered just 7 pants, 7 shirts, etc. to help the home reduce their clutter. We kept 7 of each item for our house to help them when the weather changes. I love your channel!
Funny, I just did this today! Came across a little black dress inside a garment bag in the back of the closet that still had the tags on it…I probably bought it 15 years ago! 😱
I do the same with my closet. It feels great to have everything organized.
Looks great! I’m jealous of the size of your closet!
Impressed!
Thank you for the inspiration! I have to do mine in one big push or else I never finish. Not my favorite but so needed. You gave me the needed push!
That was so enjoyable to watch. You were so ambitious! Your new and improved closet looks great. Thanks for sharing 👏🏼
Thanks so much! 😊
That sweatsuit your grandma made, so sweet:)
For anyone who’s not crazy about shopping/organizing closet, I only organize/purge four times a year and then shop accordingly. I do this in Jan, Apr, July, Oct…right around the season changes in my area. In each of these months, I shop the sales from the last season and the new clothing for the current season. It also saves me $ by only shopping 4 times per year. 🙂
I clean out my closet regularly also.
I wish I could afford to shop 4 times a year. I was happy just to be able to buy a pair of shorts and a t-shirt last summer since I was down to one pair of shorts
@@jessicaleslie-byrn8008 I’ve been there. There have been some years that I didn’t buy anything at all…
I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago. I was so proud of myself and my closet looks so much better. Now I need to work on getting my husband to clean his out!!
Your closet looks great!! I always feel a freedom after I purge. It feels good!!! Your daughter is gorgeous like her mom! 😊🥰 Thanks for the video!!
Good job!!! I've been working on our closets & dresser drawers. I'm feeling good so far... big trip to Goodwill. Ready to start going through our winter clothing. I'm energized!!!
You could use the “shoe thing” for your belts🥰
It’s so exhausting Angela but worth the energy when you see the results well done 👏🏻
Thank you Angela. You've inspired me to do some more paring down. I have all gray hangers, but your colorful hangers suit your personality and look very cheerful.
Thankyou so much for this video! Very motivating !My closet is a real mess and this inspires me to get to it!!
Closet looks great! But your hair is the best ever!
You could make a t shirt quilt with the t shirts you don't use or are keepsakes
I do it change of season. Every 6 months. I have 3 jeans 3 dresses. 7 panties 2 bras 6 tee shirts 2
Skorts 1 blue Jean jacket 3 sweaters. I wouldn’t now what to wear with that much
I know now what one of my big problems are. I take the time to fold and sort stuff I want to donate. Maybe I should just shove it in a bag and be done? It seems wrong, but sure gets the job done.
Thank you for saying you fold & sort your donations ! 🥰 I also do that to show respect , to show that my things are not merely cast-off junk , but neat , clean , well cared for items . I use boxes & organize by groups like shoes & purses together , belts & scarves , etc. & if a blouse has a matching or coordinating sweater , put them together . Very little effort yet it helps the charity a lot ; so many have said that people bring in bags of " stuff " which is awful to sort thru !!
@@cynthiajohnston424 I do this too. I only donate clean, impeccable clothing. People don't want to buy dirty, ripped, creased clothing. It's basic respect, to both the Charity shop worker and the future customer , to organise and neatly fold any clothing we donate. I'd be mortified , just showing up , with bags of clothes in this awful state!
This was a great decluttering video. You may want to consider buying clip hangers to hang your shorts in that section where you have space. I do that with my shorts since I now have about 9 pairs. I recently reorganized my closet by color. It is almost like having a capsule wardrobe so that I can clearly decide what I want to put together. So for instance, I have all my navy, white, and other blue tones together that include shorts, pants, tees, and blouses in that section. Then I have all my creams and ivory tone wardrobe pieces in another section. I read a really good book titled "Goodbye, Things." It was recommended that we should not keep our "what if" items. You may want to think about taking those expensive jeans to a resale boutique. I take a lot of my clothes that I no longer find joy in and I consign them. I also donate a good many items as well. Your closet looks amazing. By the way, your daughter is lovely. Thanks for your decluttering tips.
You just motivated me big time I'm gonna part with my beautiful work dresses from 15 yrs ago😅 it's time. Great job Angela I'm next my closet will probably be 7 bags make way for the new ❤
I’m cleaning my house tomorrow. So the closet will have to be another day. I have shoes in there that I can’t see, or maybe find. I wish my closet was that big. I do have some shelves. I need to see what is up on top. My problem is I’m taking medication that’s making me gain weight. When I can get off of the medication I might get m lid body back. So I’m not getting rid of the sizes I used to wear. But I did move them out of my closet. I still need to go through and clean pit what I haven’t worn this summer. I usually save it for one of my granddaughters. But it doesn’t stay in my closet. So I’m happy about that. But I started sharing my closet with my husband. He only has the back wall. I think I’m going to try to talk him into getting some kind of closet system. We just have a long bar and a short bar. That’s it. The closet is t huge. But I think it could be laid out a lot better.
Thank you for doing such a great video! It was so enjoyable and satisfying to watch. Maybe you could use the shoe cubbies to hold your belts and scarfs instead of using a shelf? I wish I could get you a cold drink after watching that! Keep the videos coming! I look forward to them every day!
I just did a major clean out as well… I had two size 4 dresses that I know I don’t fit in nor ever will that I got rid of (among other things….) and now that I’m working from home, I don’t need office wear any longer…it’s a big deal to get rid of things that don’t make you feel good and not feel guilty about donating it…someone else can love it 😊
I hear you on the white jeans delima. Trying to find white jeans that meet all the criteria you mentioned...very difficult. Another great video!
Great Job!!!!! Looks great!!!!!
Feels so good to clean out, doesn't it? I love it!
I love to watch closet clear outs.
Similar project this afternoon... dragging out my off-season storage boxes to see what will still work for fall. I was wanting to buy end-of-summer clearance for next year, but decided to wait until next year since I've been between sizes. I have a short list to shop for fall.
Same😊
Angela, yes my closet really needs to be cleaned out. I retired 3-1/2 years ago. So right there is a reason to clean out. Then, since I retired I have lost 96 lbs. Now that really throws a wrench into things. So basically I have nothing to wear that fits. I did buy a couple of pairs of new pants, because the old ones fell off. I think I need to make some changes. I still want to lose some more weight, so I am only buying a few things at a time, until I can get to where I want to be. I'll be there soon, I hope. ❤
Congrats on retiring & the weight loss too ! Do reward yourself w/ a few things on your weight loss journey so you can see & feel good about the accomplishments !
It’s always so nice when it’s done. Starting with one area at a time is best or it gets overwhelming 😊
Great job, Angela! I have been decluttering for about two years already. Can you believe it? How embarrassing! I have two walk in closets, and one is just for shoes! I have also decluttered my fashion jewelry. I was a mess and a hoarder. ( but, in all honesty, I was a school counselor and I felt I needed to look very professional. So, shopping for clothes was my hobby. )
The only question I have is, no black bra? Love your videos!
Hi Angela ……heres a tip I do so not to be overwhelmed . I organize by color, so all whites clothing together, all black , all grey , all blue , Then I do the same with all dresses color the same all skirts ….And have a trash bag ready to donate if it’s not working for me. You’re absolutely correct on going thru the 1-5 tips …… great video as always!
Thank you!! I actually did color coordinate but I had so little left, no one could tell 🤣
@@angelamasson-fashionover50 🤣you do great videos…than you
Great tios. I need to clean out my closet and I have put it off for so long. Going to use your ideas and go with it. I tend to hang on to everything . I need to get out of this mode.
Thanks for the inspiration to go through my clothes. I never could , it was too overwhelming.
Ooooh! I love your TN shirt! It is my color!
Great job!!
What a great and inspiring video! My mother is moving back to Ohio after 45 years in Florida (Let’s see how long she lasts through the winter😂). She gave me my fathers jean jacket. That will never go anywhere. I totally understand why you can not get rid of the items from your father and grandparents.
Angela, the cake t-shirt is adorable. You should definitely rock it again!!
Thank you for the inspiring video! I'm taking all my memory t-shirts and making some comfy quilt/throw blankets with them. I'll enjoy them much more than being shoved in my closet.
Great job
WOW! I don't have a closet or drawers anything like that size, so I need to be brutal and give away if I buy something. It's good to see how you were able to do that since fashion is such an important part of your life. Congrats, Angela!
Angela I'm like you with the hangers, it doesn't bother me much but my daughter has to have the same color hangers and a certain style hanger. Me I don't really care too much, as long as my clothes are hung up it's cool.
I love all your videos and especially loved this one..I usually go thru my closet in sept for the fall and winter and then april for spring and summer...this made me all ready to do my closet now! But I will wait abit...some good points in this video too...
Great video Angie I have been cleaning out every few months for the past few months. I then give it to the woman shelter. If I don't wear it in two month then it goes. I have learned to only buy what I love now. I just gave them 15 pairs of jeans and thought this is crazy and so waist full. Some still had the tags on them. It made me see I might be spoiled a little, as my husband doesn't care what I buy but it's really ridiculous on my part. So I also only allow myself one or two pieces of clothing a week now. We have two homes so I did pack some items to just leave at our winter home in Florida.
Haha I have got to get rid of all the dresses for events I have that I will never wear again…. I keep thinking someone will want one Wrong!!! 😂 no one I know wants them 😃…. Have a great day 🥰
Very good video. My closet in TV if full. Need to downsize. Someone else can use the extras I wear less often. You gave me good ideas to begin to tackle the excess. Shoe storing ideas?
Oh, thank you, thank you! I thought I was the I only person whose closet was a mess. We just moved 1 year ago and did not have a company come in and fix it. So, 1 year later it's a mess.
