Lady, you need to wear that capelet! Adorable, looks so good on you, and you can wear it anywhere. I came around to the idea that my "fancy" clothing should be enjoyed every day.
As someone that wears modest clothing, I have a lot of skirts. One suggestion for your closet is investing in skirt hangers. They will hang so much better in your beautiful closet.
I just want to take a moment to thank you for being such an inspiration. I have felt for years that I should wear mostly dresses, and you gave me the courage to make the switch. This isn't to disparage those of you who choose to wear pants. I have just felt called to a different choice. Now, sometimes, I have an activity where my instinct is to wear pants, and I think, "What would Megan do?" And I find a skirt, and perhaps leggings, and get it done!
You should try skirt hanger 👌😄. Once I bought some never went back to folding skirts on regular hangers again, is looks so nice, neat and organized 🥰. Looking at your closet make me want to clear mines up a little 👌😳
I have a tip for missing buttons like on your chambray shirt. Just take off the very top button (since you probably don’t ever button it clear up anyway) and put it in the missing buttons spot.
If dawn doesnt take a grease stain out, I try rubbing the spot with a piece of chalk, let it set about 30 minutes & wash as normal- it often works (chalkboard or side walk chalk) 🙂
I have some dresses that I love, they either have a fun colour or flair out in a cool way. I sometimes see people eye my stomach or hips, like they stand out too much in these dresses. Although I definitely have dresses that I look 'better' in, I keep these ones because they make me happy - things that you love even when others give it the side eye should be a category!
I felt like you were speaking right to me! I have so many pieces in my closet that actually give me anxiety with the way they fit. Thanks for the tips! Now I have to go through my wardrobe... 🤔
Hey, I thought that brown sweater looked good on you. lol. Thanks for the motivation to de-clutter my closet. I'm downsizing my living space in the next year, so some things just have to go.
Thank you so much for giving me the courage to ditch some of my stuff that is too small and I never wear! My closet can fit in the corner of your closet and you would still have room!
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I am transitioning from jeans/slacks to skirts/dresses. I am starting all over and now have a lot of purging to do. Living in Texas and menopausal, I don't wear heavy sweaters anymore. My closet is very small so I keep all seasons together. Thank you your great tips.
I just cleaned out my closet so this video really resonated with me. About the seasonal clothing - living in the southern US, all clothes are for all seasons so they stay together! Thank you for the advice!
Just did a big closet clear-out! My big tip is to have someone you trust help you. My husband was ruthless and it was great! There was an entire section of dresses I never wore but didn’t know why until he said they looked like tablecloths! 😂
@@MeganFoxUnlocked thanks for your videos. You look lovely in the clothes U wear It's given me encouragement to be brave to wear dresses &skirts more often.
I just bought the rechargeable fabric shaver off Amazon and my husband says it’s my new favorite hobby lol - I use it on everything! It was hands down my best purchase of 2020!
I needed this video today too. I plan on organizing closets this weekend. This year, I gifted all my fancy work clothes to my friend who just graduated college. I have a classic style so its all still in instyle. It felt so good to bless her with it.
I just stumbled across your channel. I grew up Mennonite as well and went to Christopher Dock High School in Montco Pa I just watched your video from last week and some of my favorite memories as a child was fellowship meals after church 😄 I subscribed !!!!
These are such great tips. I desperately need to go through my closet. The back half are clothes I want to fit into, the front half is clothes I actually fit into. I just wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying your channel. I found you during the pantry organization and have been thoroughly enjoying your videos.
I really like the point you made that everything in your closet should fit and be ready to wear. GREAT idea! I just de-cluttered my closet but now I really need to re-think the clothes that are too small or uncomfortable in some way or another. I think there are a few pieces that can still go! Thanks, Megan!
For the skirt with the grease stain you should try this method, it hasn't failed me yet and works on old grease stains! On the dry skirt, rub in green palm olive dish soap directly on the stain. Rub some in a squirt or two at a time until it is really saturated and meshed into the fibers. Then just wash like normal!
Thank you. I'm continually decluttering so I appreciate your "10-step program." Very helpful. Also though I do try to please my husband, it's encouraging for you to say we can sometimes wear what we like even if maybe it's not the most flattering. We just like it.
I think you are getting rid of a couple tops that look great on you...the new brown sweater and the Target top that you got at a thrift store both look very nice! The skirt you say you love but got grease on can be easily cleaned, I think. To clean grease off a garment, wrap the grease spot around the tip of a spoon and lower it carefully into a small pot of boiling water. I usually put a small drop of detergent on the grease spot and rub it lightly. Just quickly dab it into the boiling water, then wipe it flat on a towel. Repeat if it doesn’t all come out the first time. When I have a favorite top that is worn and “pilled” I wear it for house and garden work. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you are keeping that gray skirt with the stain. I always forget to keep clothes that I don't mind getting stained or dirty. When I decid to paint or I have to help someone paint or I'm cleaning with bleach I have nothing to ware that I'm willing to get dirty.
These were really good ideas on how to declutter. If you have a Dollar Tree near you you can go and get that bottle of that orange cleaner. I forget what it's called, it's in a big bright orange bottle and it's only a dollar and it will get the grease stains out of that skirt. You just spray it on and leave it for a bit then wash it. You might have to do it once or two times but it will actually take the grease out. It didn't take the colour out of my clothing so hopefully if you try it it it won't take the colour out of yours.
Great advice all the way through! The thing you mentioned about colors is legit. Wearing colors that go well with your skin tone and natural coloring is key. I always get more compliments on how I look when I "wear my colors".😁
I feel like I’m always amped to get rid of clothes and then when it comes to actually getting rid of them I end up keeping things that I “might” wear again. I may have a problem...
Just watched this a second time when I was finally able to put the tips to practice! Super helpful; especially, have your closet so that everything in it is an option! Thanks so much!
I totally hear you about grease stains! 😫 I hate them, especially on my favorite clothes! The good news is, I actually learned how to take them out! No matter how long a grease stain has been there you can most times get it out. What you do is put a generous amount of dish soap on the stain and then pour really hot or boiling water over it (as hot as the fabric can handle) and let it set for a couple minutes. Then you throw it in the washer and it comes out. At least it normally has when I’ve done it. There could be exceptions but I think it’s worked for me every time. I hope this helps!
Not sure if someone else has already suggested this, and I know this may not bee your cup of tea; but for the skirt with a grease stain, if I really liked it, I would use some yarn and a big needle to make a big flower over the stain, maybe add some more in different colours so that particular flower doesn't stick out. For the worn out clothes, I might use as a rag, depending on fabric. Buttons and zippers are easy to replace if you really love something.
Decluttering my clothes is a project that I have been working on recently. Thank you for the tips and inspiration! I can't wait until I'm finished, I know it's going to feel so good!
Love this and I am in envy of your closet as well as restraint. I’ve not purchased clothes since I had my twins 3 years ago. My body has changed. I live in skirts all spring/summer/fall. But here in Canada 🇨🇦 I feel the need to wear pants for winter and none fit correctly. I just might have to make my own.
Hi Megan, I’m not not as young I’m sure as most of your viewers, but have learnt over the years not to be too hasty in clearing out my clothes even if I’ve already hung on to them for some time . No sooner do I eventually find a new home for them, and they come back in fashion or I find an occasion to wear them. Bad move. Anyway have fun sorting your clothes whatever strategy you take 😊
You did a great job of coming up with categories of things that can go! Amazing how many reasons there can be to filter one's wardrobe. Actually loved the large floral on you. Perhaps with some things, you should get a second opinion before you toss, because sometimes a person doesn't realize how things look to others. There is just the right amount of pop of color in that floral and it looks great with the black skirt. Someone also mentioned the capelet. And brown IS a color that flatters your skintone from what we see on the video, so that sweater will probably bring lots of compliments if you make yourself wear it.
Did you know that a lot of people with fibromyalgia tend to be extra sensitive to the tags in clothing? I have been rubbed raw by a tag in the back of a sweater. I am so happy that manufacturers are now printing branding information directly on the garments! Of course, making your own clothes would nip this problem in the bud.
Megan, have you thought of getting hangers that are velvet? I get the black ones for myself and red for my husband. They look so neat and reasonable too! Just a suggestion:) I love your videos!
Try coloring that grease spot with white chalk really well and then wash it. It works like magic for me. I keep a box of chalk right with my laundry soap. It somehow pulls the grease out.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It's definitely given me some motivation to go through the clothes in my closet. It's been way too long since I've done that.
Have you tried using Dawn on the grease stain? My husband and I both work in restaurants and deal with grease stains weekly. Blue Dawn is the only thing that works! Just use it like a spot treatment and toss it in!
That capelette was gorgeous on you! Could you wear that with a black skirt and brown boots to church? Great video! I seriously need to go a closet declutter for myself and my girls!
Have you tried felsnapia soap.(spelling?) You can get it at Walmart. Its a bar soap & it takes out grease stains. My daughter used to be a waitress & I used it on her apron. Also dawn works too.
For your grease stain on your skirt, add some foam dawn soap to it and let it sit for at least a couple of hours! Then go back and scrub it with more dawn and it should come right out after the washer 😁
Lady, you need to wear that capelet! Adorable, looks so good on you, and you can wear it anywhere. I came around to the idea that my "fancy" clothing should be enjoyed every day.
I wear one around all the time.
I have several of those capelets and I LOVE them! I wear them with a plain skirt and they are so modest and stylish!
As someone that wears modest clothing, I have a lot of skirts. One suggestion for your closet is investing in skirt hangers. They will hang so much better in your beautiful closet.
Yes! It’s a total game changer!
I just want to take a moment to thank you for being such an inspiration. I have felt for years that I should wear mostly dresses, and you gave me the courage to make the switch.

Now, sometimes, I have an activity where my instinct is to wear pants, and I think, "What would Megan do?" And I find a skirt, and perhaps leggings, and get it done!
I made the switch to dresses and skirts and headcovering 25 years ago and have never been sorry 🙂❤🙏
Hey Megan just an idea, make pillow covers using sweaters you don’t wear anymore. I enjoy your videos.
You should try skirt hanger 👌😄. Once I bought some never went back to folding skirts on regular hangers again, is looks so nice, neat and organized 🥰. Looking at your closet make me want to clear mines up a little 👌😳
I have a tip for missing buttons like on your chambray shirt. Just take off the very top button (since you probably don’t ever button it clear up anyway) and put it in the missing buttons spot.
For the grease stain on your gray skirt, you could try a mix of Dawn dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda :)
yes! id do the baking soda then add the fish soap and peroxide and scrub with sn old toothbrush
If this doesn’t work you could always sew some fabric all around the base to cover the stain but revamp the skirt , too! 😊
If dawn doesnt take a grease stain out, I try rubbing the spot with a piece of chalk, let it set about 30 minutes & wash as normal- it often works (chalkboard or side walk chalk) 🙂
I let just Dawn sit on the stain until wash day. Never fails. Gonna get some power wash for laundry room.
Dawn dishwashing soap always works on grease stains for me. I keep a small bottle of it in my laundry room for just that purpose.
I have some dresses that I love, they either have a fun colour or flair out in a cool way. I sometimes see people eye my stomach or hips, like they stand out too much in these dresses. Although I definitely have dresses that I look 'better' in, I keep these ones because they make me happy - things that you love even when others give it the side eye should be a category!
Actually love you in the brown sweater. Pair with denim skirt, your brown booties, and and a scarf.
But we wear 10% of our clothes, 90% of the time.
I felt like you were speaking right to me! I have so many pieces in my closet that actually give me anxiety with the way they fit. Thanks for the tips! Now I have to go through my wardrobe... 🤔
I love the last dress you showed, the "granny" dress 😆 its gorgeous and you look so lovely in it xx
Hey, I thought that brown sweater looked good on you. lol. Thanks for the motivation to de-clutter my closet. I'm downsizing my living space in the next year, so some things just have to go.
I know. When I was watching it back I was almost persuaded to keep it after all. Maybe brown IS my color.
@@MeganFoxUnlocked 👌😅
@@MeganFoxUnlocked it might look better with a white shirt under it (a collared shirt, not a t-shirt)?
I agree ! That brown sweater looks amazing on Megan!
🤣 my thought as well! I loved the brown sweater!
Thank you so much for giving me the courage to ditch some of my stuff that is too small and I never wear! My closet can fit in the corner of your closet and you would still have room!

I loved the introduction sis! Had me laughing! Blessings (:
Hey Megan I’m 64 years old love watching your videos thanks for all the hard work you do to encourage women to dress modestly .
The brown sweater is so pretty on you though! :)
I was thinking the same thing!!
I know! As I was editing, I felt like a fell in love with it all over again!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked thanks for your videos. You look lovely in the clothes U wear It's given me encouragement to be brave to wear dresses &skirts more often.
You are a real gem! Thank you for encouraging women to be themselves!
These are honestly my fav kind of videos. And these tips are so great! Here's to decluttering my closet! 🥳
Your lip color is so pretty. Would love to see a close-up of your wedding dress details.
That chambray shirt is so pretty!
I love it too. I need to find a replacement!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked gap maybe? Do they still sell that sort of thing? I’m so out of the loop with clothes 🤣
@@MeganFoxUnlocked just sew a button on it
I know, I LOVE that shirt!
I just bought the rechargeable fabric shaver off Amazon and my husband says it’s my new favorite hobby lol - I use it on everything! It was hands down my best purchase of 2020!
Will you do a video reviewing the fabric shaver? I would LOVE to see if they actually work!
Hanging your skirts on Skirt hangers would make your closet look even more streamlined.

I'm decluttering my kitchen today, but you have inspired me. I'm glad you kept that floral cardigan. It's really pretty and does look great on you.
I love the floral sweater outfit I'm glad ur keeping it it's a fall winter spring
You are a gem! You are teaching me with every video to be intentional ☺ thank you

I learned alot.
Thanks, this helps me.

You could pick the worn shirt apart and use it as a pattern to make a new one. That's what I would do. It's a good way to up your sewing game!
I waited all day to see this video and it was worth it!! Even though it’s almost midnight here (UK) I want to de clutter my wardrobe NOW 🤣

The mauve long sleeve shirt with pilling that’s worn... I’d cut up and make into a cushion cover or sew into cleaning clothes.
Love that tan dress with the buttons!! If I saw it at the thrift shop, I'd totally pick it up! 😁

Where is it from?

Thank you for this wonderful video. It's definitely given me some motivation to go through the clothes in my closet. It's been way too long since I've done that.
grease spots... use Stanley Degreaser. Works amazing. Surely someone you know has some and could let you borrow a little :)
I have been working so hard to minimize my closet. I have decided to purge enough clothes so that I don't need to put away seasonal items.
hey you could turn that caplet into new cushion covers! Just a thought ; )
Have you tried using Dawn on the grease stain? My husband and I both work in restaurants and deal with grease stains weekly. Blue Dawn is the only thing that works! Just use it like a spot treatment and toss it in!

Hi Megan, great video idea! I am going to be folding clothes, organizing and decluttering while I watch your video. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
It's 10 pm here and I need to be asleep but I am wanting to go clean up my closet!!!
I needed this video right now.
Love the modest videos! You should do a fashion cents shop with me!
Maybe you would like that last thrifted target shirt more if you tucked it in!
Absolutely great suggestions. Thank you.. Going through my closet soon.
with that skirt with the grease stain, can you sew a little felt circle design or cute little flowers on it to freshen it up and cutesy it?
Very helpful Megan. Lots to think about. Thank you for sharing. Be blessed!
Great video, Megan. Excellent advice (which I need to take!)
Use dawn on the grease spot and rewatch. It’s super easy and works almost all the time.
you should learn to do a different tie for the maroon top. Creative tying of knots is worth learning.
I want your closet!! 😄
That capelette was gorgeous on you! Could you wear that with a black skirt and brown boots to church? Great video! I seriously need to go a closet declutter for myself and my girls!
Have you tried felsnapia soap.(spelling?) You can get it at Walmart. Its a bar soap & it takes out grease stains. My daughter used to be a waitress & I used it on her apron. Also dawn works too.
Really enjoyed this video! Great ideas that I will be implementing, thank you!
I will totally wear this autumn cape X) Good video !
For your grease stain on your skirt, add some foam dawn soap to it and let it sit for at least a couple of hours! Then go back and scrub it with more dawn and it should come right out after the washer 😁
Yiu should try rust remover on the oil stained skirt.. It worked for my shorts
