I think the conundrum is that we can like the concept of a style or aesthetic but it doesn’t fit our innate aesthetic, body type or current phase of life. If it doesn’t spark joy and requires work to make it work I say toss it!!! Your closet looks great!!!!❤
Thank you, I agree. 😊
Yes!!!!
If you are questioning keeping something you haven't worn - it needs to go.
If you are not comfortable in something - it needs to go.
And I need to follow my own advice here. 😂
Haha it’s so hard when you have a “what if” brain 😂
Ah that is the downfall
@@DressMeUpScotty Oh I KNOW! I have ADHD and the 'tism, my brain never ever shuts up. 🤣
@@DressMeUpScotty put all your “maybe”s in a bag, put them away out of sight. If in 6 months you haven’t even thought to reach for them, sell/donate 🙌 Tough love is still love haha.
Thanks for the closet cleanout motivation!
Some tricks I use (that don't always work, cause...overthinking, attachment etc.):
If you wouldn't buy it now and you're debating on keeping it, and you aren't wearing it, it goes.
If you're not excited about styling it, get rid of it.
If it's giving you an existential crisis while wearing it, get rid of it!
The blouses are pretty, but you didn't seem excited about wearing them. If you're not feeling like you in them, and they mentally make you feel worse, why keep them? Mental health is tricky enough without your clothing making you feel bad. Someone else will love them and not feel stifled. Sometimes knowing that I can bring happiness to someone else by getting rid of what doesn't make me happy anymore helps the process.
Wear things that give you that serotonin/dopamine response. If you put it on and you have that "yaaaaas!!" moment, that's when you keep it. Like, preening in front of the mirror while you wear it, feeling good.
Some things are gonna be good basics like black pants, so there may not be that excitement level there, and that's ok for those as long as you're happy with them. Same with comfy/cozy stuff. Ditching the black jeans you don't wear but keeping the black trousers you feel good in, is a perfect example.
I have to ditto this too Re: those blouses. When they came out I thought of my teachers in the 70s and librarians but I know lots of people went crazy for them. To each their own, but if my black jeans don’t excite me to wear them? They may excite someone else at the Goodwill 🧐😁🤘🏼
For the mom jeans just wear them if you want to wear them I've been so overwhelmed with how fast the trends have been coming and going I've just stopped following them all together. Not paying attention to trends has also saved me so much more money. 2023 for me is consuming less of everything and not following trends has helped cutting back on that habit so much.
I agree, the trends are too quick. It’s exhausting. 2021 was one of the years with the quickest micro trend cycles and I really got caught up in some for a quick second. I do genuinely never reach for or feel confident in the jeans so I ended up adding them to the yeet pile 😂
I tried for years to wear structured shirts because they looked so cool and effortless on everyone else, until I just finally gave up and realised they’re not for me. A week later I stumbled across a video that backed up what I thought- on many body types they’ll look cool or even casual, but on my body type (which leans more towards flowy curvy stuff looking best) they look constricting and boxy. I don’t think body types should tell you what you can or cannot wear, but understanding them can definitely help you understand why the same clothes item has a different vibe on someone else.
Yeah I think the body type thing can be a good guideline for a lot of people but can certainly be a rabbit hole. I know quiet a few people that are into the Kibbe body type thing and it’s confusing lol. But I can see how it can be helpful.
I haven't finished the video yet but I think the word you're searching for when you're talking about the blouses is 'stifled.' You don't look like you're happy to be wearing them, and in my opinion, that means that you don't need them. Or that you should vaccum-seal them and stuff them in the attic or storage, and then look at them when you're doing a storage purge.
Okay, now that I've finished the video, I can definitely say that yes, those blouses should probably go. Comparing them to how excited you were by most of the other stuff you tried on, it's clear that you don't love them any more.
Cleaning out closets is really overwhelming, so good on you to spread it out to make sure you had the energy to do The Things.The video has definitely made me painfully aware of the fact that I need to get rid of some clothes, too, especially since I have several things that I STILL have not dyed or altered like I had originally planned to do. I just need to accept that I'm probably not going to do anything with these things, and eject them from my home.
ETA 2 because I forgot and then remembered when I was watching your bloopers short: I am DEFINITELY showing my age when I was really, seriously expecting Eminem's Cleaning Out My Closet to be playing during at least SOME of this.
Stifled! Yes thank you, that’s exactly the word I was looking for! I think the struggle is definitely that those blouses used to be my style but my life has changed a lot and I’ve changed a lot. I didn’t realize how much I’ve changed until I put them back on. They definitely no longer feel like me.
My thoughts are, if something doesn't fit right and you've had it for a long time (like, at least a year) with no plans to alter it, it should go. There will be a perfectly fitting version of that item out there somewhere for you!! The one you have just has to fly free to another person's closet
So true!
In a nutshell what makes it easier for me to declutter is to think "Do I feel comfortable in this?" aka do I like how it looks on me, how I feel in it (mentally and physically), does it fit the way I like, do I like the material etc. I also like many styles but I don't feel good and confident in everything so that's helped me find my style in the process. Hope that helps 🌱
That does help ☺️
❤ Kronk the cat 🐈 ❤ Total scene stealer. Your collection of sweetheart neckline puff sleeve tops & dresses 👗 are total goals! Chef’s kiss. Bravo!
Keep the clothes you feel good in and screw any styles and wear what you like. And I also agree with the other toss what you don't reach for and where you don't feel comfortable. I also had clothes where I thought oh it might work if I wear it with this. Guess what I still never reached for them so it was finally time to let them go. And yes please more closet cleanout videos I love them.
Yeah you are right. I think if I have to heavily rationalize an item, I don’t actually need it.
I also find myself buying/gravitating towards styles I like, but don’t actually wear. As many folks have already mentioned, I’ve been going with if I’m not comfortable in it and I don’t feel cute in it - it goes. You did great work! Spacing it out over several days makes so much sense. ❤
if you didn't feel comfortable in the shirts definitely get rid. There is nothing worse than getting something out your wardrobe and it not feeling right.
I'm also a sucker for this though 😊
I agree. I sometimes forget that I’m aloud to let me style evolve and change and when that happens I can get rid of stuff. Especially since my life is changing so much so naturally so will I. ☺️
You did a great job... Closet looks neat and clean.
If you don't want to get rid of certain items that you currently don't reach out for, but perhaps will wear them in the future... you could store them away in vacuum bags and boxes maybe in the garage or storage room of some sort... the attic or the cellar type of storage area depending on what your house offers.
That's what I usually do and if in the future I still don't care much for a particular item, then I would give it away.
Thanks for sharing with us your methods of clothing reorganize 👍🏻💕
Greetings from Italy 🍀
Aww Kitty! Uh oh...closet!🤭 I need to do some spring cleaning...😎 Good idea with the t-shirts.
So here’s a REALLY simple rule I go by with closet clean outs.
1. Do I EVER reach for this item? If no, get rid of, if yes, keep.
Bonus if:
If the closet is so jammed that I can’t reach for Jack squat, due to closet panic, thin things down by color, or clothing type.
You MUST KEEP the checkered and STRI-PED ones they look so good. I love those on you, must rock those tomorrow.
The bow blouse has too much structure (like you said-classic/office) and not enough whimsy like your other blouses. I get it! 😂
Yeah that’s exactly it. I need whimsy. And the purple mouse though it’s high neck, has the ruffle details and the bright bold color makes it more whimsical.
I didn't know tiered hangers existed... they're going to save my life, thanks Scotty 😭
Yzma: "KROOONK!!!"
4:13 that's a cute green dress with white yoke and cuffs!
9:18: I like the blouse but I prefer high collars and gathered sleeve tops.
It is really sad, that America and Europe have this huge time shift since I was eager to at least take a look into your Whatnot show. But I really need to fix my sleeping schedule (since the show would start at 1:30am in my time zone).
Oh yeah that’s late! I will be listing some things on either Poshmark or Depop though so I’ll announce in the community tab after I run a poll.
@@DressMeUpScotty Thank you
Cronk is gorgeous!
Ty! He’s my beautiful boy 🥰
Not sure if you already have a video on this but it would be super helpful if you share how to clean thrift vintage and dry clean only clothes
I’m still learning so maybe in time I’ll make a video about care and repair of vintage and used items 😁 I have a friend who manages the social media account of a vintage shop and she’s helped them make videos on the cleaning of vintage items so maybe I’ll make a post with links to those videos soon.
if i could just "turn into kirby and swallow all of the clothes" in this video lmao i would ASAP haha love the vid
LOL 😂
Add waist coats or small vests with your tops and it would be 🔥. Also no need to button all the way to the top- one kess button makes a huge difference with fit and with style. You are so cute and fun!! 🎉
Honestly I only like the two striped pants and plaid and check pants so cute and they look the best on you
The dark green ones r so cute too!
A curb your enthusiasm reference and a star trek reference within the first minute of the video? I love it here *weeps dramatically* ...here is the thing with my closet. I don't follow any rules people say about "how often I grab for it" because I have some pretty unique pieces that it just doesn't make sense to wear all the time. Therefore my solution is to have a 'dress up' closet (cosplay, weddings, etc) and my real closet. I only get rid of things if they are beyond repair (can't even use for scrap fabric) or they don't fit me anymore and cannot be made to fit me. Nothing wrong with having a huge collection baby! I think you looked great in all those pants. all. those. pants. hahaha
Hahaha yeah I’m trying to tell myself it’s ok to have a lot of clothes because part of my dream job is basically playing dress up 😂
Also, I’m glad you appreciate the references. I try to insert as many memes as I can 😂
If you have that much of a crisis when trying it on then get rid of it. Maybe you keep picking them out cause you like elements of it but not the whole thing together. You seem to love puff sleeves but maybe don't get them with high neck lines
You’re definitely right about liking the elements! That is a good point 🥰
Still the dead of winter here (-30C) so watching you pack the cozy sweaters, I'm like "nah-un" 🥶
That’s so cold OMGG! I kept some out, my pinks and purples and creams, the colors that make me think of spring. It was gonna say it’s still cold here but it’s only 40F (or about 4.4C) which is warm comparatively 😂 “California cold”
Definitely want to see round two 😊❤
Keep the wide leg jeans and get rid of the other pair. 😊
Love depop! And especially wonderful of sellers are open to usps international shipping too ❣️
Wow that's a lotta clothes! I wish I could find 10% of that amount. Plus, how much ironing and steaming do you have to do when you empty the space bags?
Haha typically when I get things out of the bags, I’d they can be tossed in the dryer, I do that then immediately hang or fold them and that’s how I get the wrinkles out 😂 lazy or life hack idk
have you thought about reviewing Dolls Kill? I feel like they are a brand i am hesitant on trying because I'm worried about the quality but damn the feminine aesthetic really got me in the ads...
So I haven’t for a couple reasons. 1 their stuff is really pricey. 2 them as a company have been in a lot of controversies and I don’t really want to promote them. I know they carry a lot of different brands so I may investigate individual brands they carry and not go through them because there are a few brands with the aesthetic I like. But I’ll have to wait til I have less debt and I’m making more money from TH-cam to justify the budget.
I live in the PNW and can’t wait to be able to put my winter clothes away. 😩 I’m normally a fall/winter girly, but this year I’m over it!
I feel that. It isn’t that cold here but I am sensitive to cold since I have bad circulation. I’m also sensitive to heat though so I can’t win 😅
I love your content so much
Ty! ♥️♥️
I think the shoulder on alot of the puff shoulder shirts are too wide - the hem where the shirt connects to the arms and the puff begins is too far out on your shoulder.
If it survived the last closet clean out but I still haven’t worn it, then its time to go
Very true.
I still wear mom jeans. YOU CAN PRY THEM FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS. i'm 5'1" and curvy so they work for me 🙃 I'm also a 32 year old mom. "I'm a cool mom" 😂 Also: LOVE the dark green jeans! Now i want some 😩 PS where did you get your lace up hoodie with the puffy sleeves?
Haha if I had kids I’d be right there with you in the cool mom club (I’m 30). I may some day join the club if circumstances work out. My body keeps telling me I want kids. I had yet another pregnancy and then baby dream last night 😂 my brain be like “you want a mini me”
The laceup hoodie is from a brand called Something Navy. I initially got mine from ThredUP but at the time the brand also was selling them on clearance so I impulsively bought another since I live in mine 😂 so I have two. I have some cool similar style shirts/pullovers listed in my Amazon marketplace though under the casual knightcore list. Dressmeupscotty.com has my links. There’s also some hooded laceup knit dresses in eyeing on that list 👀
@@DressMeUpScotty You would be a great mom if that's what you want! Thank you ❤
I love mom jeans and I am a young person and I say they’re cool 😎 but also I do dress like a grandma 👵🏼 so I may be wrong 🤣
Hey I’ll take it 😂🥰
Hi if it’s not too much trouble can I know where you got the top you wearing in the thumbnail. I’ve look at your links and can’t seem to find it, but I also don’t recognize it from any thrift with me you’ve done.
I got it off ThredUP but the brand is called Something Navy. They were still on the website for the brand a while back but I don’t know if they still are. If not I’m sure there are some on Poshmark or Depop!
If it makes you feel better, I’ve never owned a pair of black jeans and have never felt like I’m missing anything. Just because something seems like a staple doesn’t mean you’ll actually want to wear it.
That is good to know! I think too we can sub one staple for another. Which is why I think the trousers work because I use them in place of jeans a lot of times.
Hi! May I ask you where did you find the amazing d&d crewneck you're wearing in this video? Thanks! ❤
It’s from Heroes & Villains! I have a discount code for them too, DRE20, gets you 20% off and I earn a lil bit from it! (Win win!)
The emerald green and polka dotted top makes you look a bit pale, don’t keep them
Content cat
Ah yes, my Executive Pawducer
Only my opinion here😉
You should definitely declutter the cut off wide leg jeans and the pair with the crotch that was too big and looked like a flap.
I agree, I later decided to part with the pants that are too big as well as the cutoffs.
Why don't you just wear the top unbuttoned? (That made you feel choked)
Depop
17:45 GIRL!! I know why you are struggling with that tan, polka dot blouse!!
Everyone and everything falls into four types of energy or “movement”, according to @caroltuttle in her “Dressing Your Truth” series.
That blouse is a Type 4 energy: very structured, clean, classic. Very little movement, very confining. Which a Type 4 woman would love.
But you strike me as a Type 3 woman- swift movement, dynamic energy, free-spirited and independent. Trying to put a Type 4 blouse on, EVEN if it is a Type 3 color, it will feel like it is stifling you, confining you, restricting you.
That is your Beauty Sixth Sense talking to you and telling you that it is no good for your body, that it doesn’t match your moment, that it doesn’t honor your energy movement! 🧡
Even the fact that you talk about not liking turtlenecks (feeling strangled) is a huge clue about your energy type.
I hope that helps! Carol Tuttle’s “Dressing Your Truth” system is the ONLY fashion system that involves more than just color- she goes into depth on design lines, fabrication, and more and shows how the movement of things like clothes and jewelry bring out a woman’s (or man’s) true energy and personality.
Also at 20:22 you hold up another blouse that you like better and it is similar to the other structured button-down BUT -- it is in that rich, dynamic Type 3 color of rust/terra Cotta, it has more of an ability to let you MOVE around (from what I can see from the way the fabric yields) AND you are drawn to that pointed, VERY angular collar, sharp angles on the collar, which is absolutely Type 3.
So you innately know what you are drawn to!! 🧡🧡 Take heart! It’s just your Beauty Sixth Sense trying to reconcile what aesthetics you love with your inner energy movement!
