I loved how realistic, honest and practical was your decluttering. So true that life can run ahead of us and the wardrobe ends up no longer representing our current lifestyle.
The best closet curation series I have used in the last 10 years. Not too complicated and allowed me to be me. You were the teacher not the influencer and it made all the difference. Bravo Emily!
The trash bin and scissors in the wardrobe and the in-between-wears container are such good ideas! That also just gave me the idea of having a container of things that need dry cleaning and/or tailoring because I feel like I often put those items back in the closet with everything else and then forget about them and only remember when I reach to wear them and realize I can't - and on the cycle goes!
I LOVE that you use what you have in regards to hangers and containers, and you aren't encouraging watchers to go and buy a ton of matching hangers and boxes creating more waste 💓
@@EmilyElizabethMay It's so refreshing from the hundreds of other videos I've seen where people have bought a ton of stuff from Amazon or a store when they don't need to x
Awwwww, Emily! The best part of this video for me was seeing you interacting with your family, holding your son and hugging your husband . So happy to see you and watch your lovely content. Your beautiful spirit shines bright.❤❤❤
I’m only 2 minutes into the video, but I wanted to come on here to say that this is exactly what I need right now! I also moved and had a baby, and I haven’t cleaned out my closet since after college, so this video is going to be my guide. 😁
So good to see you back, Emily! And thanks for keeping it practical and sustainable. Lots of wardrobe organisation content promotes buying fancy new plastic containers, that puts me off. And as a mum of 2 small kids through a pandemic, I've really not chimed with declutter approaches that need a whole day of undisturbed thinking and try-ons. Thank you, more of this please! PS: I too have a dedicated "half-worn clothes" space in my wardrobe, makes it easy to check when there's space left over in the washing machine.
Aw thank you lovely. So nice to see a comment from you 💗 I must have forgot you have 2 small kiddies. (Or maybe you hadn’t told me before 😋) Well done for getting through the pandemic with kids. Parents everywhere deserve a medal for that. Love that we are on the same page 💓 xx
Oh Yes! I need something like this. We change with our kids a lot. I need a guide how on a very small budget to rebuild my wardrobe and first steps how to start. I miss your content! 😘
Yay thank you for watching! I hope this helps get you started to declutter the items that don't make sense for your lifestyle right now. I'd start there, and then make a wishlist of items you think are missing, and very slowly introduce these items. Maybe you can try 2nd hand to save some money 💕😌 xx
Your video gave me the motivation to do my own closet decluttering. My problem with decluttering is that I see it as all or nothing. I'm a perfectionist and I never seem to find the time or the head space to do it all at once. One step at a time makes sense. Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes I can totally relate to this! This mindset often creeps up on me and then I feel paralysed to do anything at all. Definitely try one small area at a time. Sometimes I'll start with my socks and undies just to get momentum going ! 😋
Thank you for sharing the reasons you are letting items go and the general lessons rather than just consider things individually!. Light bulb moment for me. The almost perfect lesson is a good one for me. I have bought so much on almost perfect black pants and white tshirts etc rather than hang out for the right one.
You are welcome! Thank you so much for watching. The “almost perfect” lesson has helped me already with not buying something that wasn’t quite right ❤️ hope it helps you down the track too x
Im actually going to declutter tomorrow and im glad i watched this video because it added more insight to what I should be keeping in mind and asking me self. esp those items that is totally me but my skin just doesnt agree.
Great strategy taking one day at a time. I can’t believe how many dresses you had in that space. I have bought almost there items. No more. I usually do a seasonal audit. Great tips for de cluttering.
Hi Emily, great to see you and your family are doing great. I was picking out my outfit a few days ago, following the three colors rule you taught in one of your videos of course(style saver 😅) and I was wondering how you were doing. So when I got the notification of your video today I was like “yay!” 😂. I do a lazy declutter every time the season changes, it makes it so much easier for me. Take care of you and your beautiful family ❤❤
Haha I love this 😍 3 colour rule is one of my favourites and saves me all the time too! 😋 love the idea of a “lazy declutter.” It’s a good way of keeping on top of it all so it doesn’t become big and overwhelming 🙏🏽 thanks for sharing. Xx
It will take me a lot to decide to declutter, but it was okay watching you go through the process. I usually get anxiety while watching these types of videos but did not this time, maybe. because you did not focus with the discarding of items but more with organization. Lovely family. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the new year.
Thank you Denise! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was trying to create a more motivating video so I’m glad it wasn’t anxiety provoking 🙏🏽💓 happy new year xo
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 this one actually went into storage and I have been thinking about it since 😋 so maybe time to bring out soon and try again with it 🥰
Hello! Welcome 🥰 thank you for subscribing. That dress is from Daughters of India and I believe it’s currently in the clearance section. It’s one of my most worn dresses 💖
Yes we're in summer at the moment, so my knits and coats are packed away :) I did go through a few of those boxes, but will do it again when winter comes around.
You look like a goddess in your daughters of Indian dresses. My opinion, get rid of all your clothes and just keep 10 of your dresses. Hehe. Anyway, I have found this with myself also, I cannot buy artificial material anymore. I prefer only natural fibers.

I so love that you keep things real and do not have all matching hangers or bins! I need to do a declutter as well.
🙏🏽 thank you! Good luck with your declutter 🥰💓

Aw thank you Alma. Always so lovely to hear from you in the comments 💓 xoxo
Sweet moment that your husband hugged you for organizing! Great to be appreciated!
💓💓💓🥰
I love your practical approach re: using the hangers and storage containers you have collected over the years.
Thanks Margo 💗

That’s smart to have a bin for the clothes in between washes 😊
Thanks love! It’s been working so well so far 🙏🏽💗
How wonderful is your family dear Emily.😍🤲 Especially this tiny sweet boy. He reminds me my little one on his age.🥰💙

You've come a long way. Watching some older videos as I found you about 6 months ago. 🇦🇺

The "almost" rule is a great idea, first time hearing this, so good!
Glad you liked it! 🙏🏽💓 xx
I luv the lil bin and scissors - I myself kept them in my closet too 😅
Thank my dear!
Watching your video and organizing ❤
I really like your approach. And agree that it's good to use the hangers that suit the garment.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽💜 xx

I liked the idea of hooks for bags and jewelry 😍
🙏🏽💗🙏🏽
Comfort is always key for me. What I have learned is anything formal doesn’t fit my lifestyle
Yesssss! Same 🙌 xx
I also use the plastic dividers, that would divide across the shelf, to,separate shirts, or whatever is on them
Oh yes I have some of these in my kitchen 🙏🏽 x
Im actually going to declutter tomorrow and im glad i watched this video because it added more insight to what I should be keeping in mind and asking me self. esp those items that is totally me but my skin just doesnt agree.
Ooo good luck!! So glad it was a helpful video 💓💓

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it 🥰💓 so many dresses squished in there 😅😋 xx
Oh yes, I’m about to do this. Just on time for me! 🤩💛🇺🇸
Yay! Glad it was a timely video for you 💕xx
Lobe the lil bin! Will try it too ❤
Yay thanks, small but effective 🥰💓🙏🏽
Like the go with the fist gut reaction method
Glad you liked it 💓🙏🏽
Those outfits are Dead Gorgeous
Take care of your family too and also the little cheeky monkey
Aw thank you so much lovely 💓 x

The chocolate brown halter dress looks fabulous on you! Hang on to that one and have it tailored if need be. 😁
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 this one actually went into storage and I have been thinking about it since 😋 so maybe time to bring out soon and try again with it 🥰
Where is your necklace from? Thanks
I keep seeing a pale yellow dress peaking through. Where is it from please? A new subscriber :)
Hello! Welcome 🥰 thank you for subscribing. That dress is from Daughters of India and I believe it’s currently in the clearance section. It’s one of my most worn dresses 💖
@@EmilyElizabethMay Oh thank you so much! 💖
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
great
🙏🏽💗
I totally have a not clean not dirty pile.😅
Not a lot there. Is that your seasonal clothing? That would make sense. Only you would know what things you do not wear.
Yes we're in summer at the moment, so my knits and coats are packed away :) I did go through a few of those boxes, but will do it again when winter comes around.
The audacity to say " what's changed" 😂
Lol lol lol I know 🤣🤣😆
You look like a goddess in your daughters of Indian dresses. My opinion, get rid of all your clothes and just keep 10 of your dresses. Hehe. Anyway, I have found this with myself also, I cannot buy artificial material anymore. I prefer only natural fibers.
Are you still planning on wearing these dresses in 2025?
you look like olivia rodrigo haha
Ooo thank you!! 😆🥰🙏🏽
So ,it’s not cluttered plus you wear dresses sooo why give them away. Seriously! If you have time to make notes ..I think you’re ok. 😂
😆😆🙃 haha thank you! 🙏🏽💗 I only sold/donated the dresses I wasn’t wearing (and I’m still left with a lot 😋!!)
