I’m giving myself two extra years on the “not worn in one year rule”, which I usually follow, because I’ve only left the house a few times during the pandemic. I have many beautiful, current clothes that I wear more when out and about. I’m re-starting the clock this spring, assuming that this Omicron wave finishes the pandemic stage of COVID-19.
I looked back and found I only wore about 10% of the clothes I had in last two years and I realized that I really don't need so many. I have been eliminating the piles ever since and decided to continue doing it whenever possible.
Love all your videos! Just retired about 5 months ago and need to clean out and refresh. Being in sales working with Architects, Engineers and designers, I had a certain business style….. now I need a retirement style! I watched your basics videos and have a lot of pieces, just need to refresh. Thanks for the motivation!
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
First time I’m organizing my closet, at age 68, not only is my small closet cluttered but also I don’t have the basic essentials in my closet. I suddenly decided that it’s time to make changes in my closet and my clothing. Feeling overwhelmed, decided to search on TH-cam and I came across your channel!!! I think I’m off to a good start!
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
Since I live in a tiny(450sqft) condo with a closet that is super small, I need to seasonally organize my closet. So now that it's winter, all of my spring/summer things are in storage bins on a very high top shelf including summer shoes! Since I am limited in space, every item needs to mix and match with at least 4 other items! And nearly everytime I purchase something I purge something! Plus I do the color coordinating thing too! This has been a learning curve as I lived in a 2300 sqft home until I downsized. I found out quickly that 3 or 4 pairs of jeans in my go to mid rise, straight leg style in black, dark rinse and light and 2 skinny leg in black and dark rinse are all I need! It can be done! Because of this, I've upgraded my style a bit as I don't have a lot of room for sweats and athleisure wear. I have to get as much bang for my buck as possible so I depend on multiple sweaters, blouses or T's and blazers to go with my basic jeans and pants. I'm a lot more dressed up than most of my community but that's their problem!
I can relate, (570 sq ft) and I’m slowly upgrading everything in my wardrobe when I get rid of something. The part that takes time is really deciding what I love the most and that is where my list started. Then as I wear the old item out, I will replace it with a higher quality version. It’s going to take time to also figure out brands but clearing out the closet is so helpful (oh and clearing our the drawers-lol). Thank you Beth 👗🧥🧣👡

I’ve never seen so many white blouses except in a store and even there usually much less! I have one. You have a wonderful functional closet and many beautiful clothes. My rules vary though due to weight gain and loss so I have my fat clothes, mid weight and thin clothes. Also I keep clothes much much longer and find I will wear them maybe even several years later especially as styles and trends go in and out. I have two closets and one is like yours with just the clothes I will wear this season. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Beth. I love your shoe storage trick...one heel in - one toe in. I tried it and it did save space on my shoe shelves! Wow, you sure have a LOT of clothes!
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile and pics, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
A few years ago heard a few tips about closet cleaning and it worked for me…..Can’t decide on a yes or no for a few items….Hang it in the closet with the hanger facing ‘hook out’. If you wear it replace it normally. When you clean/ organize the next time, if the hanger has not changed, it becomes a NO. The other tip is when you buy something new, discard something old. This has worked for me.
I cleanse every season (However I have given myself a pandemic grace period). I'm one of those that turn my hangars backward in the beginning of each season so I can see just what I really wear!! I feel better when there are 'spaces' that I get to fill with new items! Thank you for the inspiration.

Please don't get rid simply based on not worn for a certain period of time. I have repeatedly brought items out of storage which have not been worn for years as fashion, circumstances and activities change. I still have wide leg trousers and jeans from before the skinny and straight phase which I'm wearing again. I have a dress for very formal occasions which I only attend every 5-10 years. I didn't need my snow gear for a few years, but recently have worn out again. It's more sustainable to keep an item and find a way to wear it than to get rid and find you need to buy again.
I have a similar experience, Lynn. There are items which seem just to have taken a break (slumbering in my closet) and then are used intensely again, which is fun, like spending time with an old acquaintance once more... .
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.

Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
I just love your ideas, most of which seem to work for most women. I am an anomaly and change weight 10-12 pounds at a time, and my sizes literally range from 4-12. This adds another level to your flow chart there. I simply cannot throw away things bc they are 2 sizes too big bc I will likely be that size again in 5 years.

Beth, I just have to say that I love your current video intro. It shows all of the areas we need to focus on as women, not just fashion. I'm excited for the Back to Basics theme you're starting too! Since Covid hit I haven't been out and about so I am very reluctant to apply the "If you haven't worn it in a year get rid of it" rule.
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile and pics, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
Great advice! You've given me that push to tackle one of my closets today on a wintery day. I have thrifted a large wardrobe, which has been great, but I can only wear so many clothes. It's painless to donate items back to the charity shops. And it feels so good to see a clean, organized closet!

I love the pants hanger. I am using our tiny extra bedroom as my dressing closet. It has a very small closet that is deeper than it is wide. It is a challenge. The rolling rack may be the solution. Thank you for the inspiration.

Great information! I live in Ohio, so I have a lot of winter coats and I need those wooden hangers. 👍 I hope you do a segment about costume jewelry. I have soooo many necklaces, earrings from my working days and I don’t really know how to store them. I hate to get rid of them bc I really like them and I spent a lot of money for some pieces. 😩
Very helpful... practical..and love that You assume there will be.a life with reasons to wear items from this lovely revised wardrobe..attitude is Everything..ps: I'm a 74 year old recovering Heart Patient! You encourage positive (vibrant) thinking! Thank You!!!!
Enjoyed your video. This is the first time watching your channel. Building a new wardrobe. I have losted 80 lbs in the last 9 months. I have bariatric sleeve surgery on April 27 2021. Now am a new person. Am 65 years young.
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
I love to clean out closets! I do it seasonally, but my boot collection is a bit of a wild card! I need a better space for that. But that will come! I have even given away my treasures that no longer fit. I also shred papers that are no longer needed. Worn and damaged clothes go in the bin! My friends and former coworkers love it when I do a purge! Older luggage that I don’t use, purses…..I should hire out! Haha! Love your videos with the great tips and hints!
I believe you have mentioned the “one toe in, one toe out” method for organizing shoes in a previous video. I do that and I really appreciate the extra space this creates. I’m now in the process of converting my items to velvet hangers and pants hangers. The plastic blouse hangers I use for workout jackets so I can tell exactly where those jackets are and my nice blazers begin…….and once you’re organized, it’s so easy to stay organized. Thank you, Beth, for your help!

This is such a timely video.I've been putting this off for far too long but after watching your video you have given me the kick in the pants that I needed to just get on and do it! NOW!!
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile and pics, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
I just have two methods when I clean out my closets.. Keep or Go ! Then when I get done , I get into the Go pile & see what I can throw away & the rest goes into storage for summer yard sales .. I have started in the kitchen with the cabinets, and have already a huge box that can be sold in my yard sale .. now I need more boxes ! Lol 😂 It’s feels so good when later , you go back & open the doors & it’s so clean & neat & I can see what I have , instead of digging for stuff . 😊
I literally just cleaned out my closet before watching your channel. I typically clean out ever season. I do keep items that are fancy vacation and/or weddings for more like 3 to 4 years. As stated above we have not a lot of travel since 2020. Love the felt hangers and wood for coats and jackets.
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile and pics, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
Great ideas! I have done the decluttering. For a while, clothes were tight in my closet and I didn't like that. When I cut down to those things I loved, now there is room in between pieces. Also, I did this little trick where I put a hair band (they come by the dozens in packages) on each hanger and I took them off as I used the piece. I wanted to make sure I wore everything. Guess what--it got me to get rid of more. Now, I know for sure that all my closet is being used.
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
These are great suggestions Beth! Perfect timing too! I turned all my hangers backwards on January 1st to see what I’m actually wearing. Then I tried on almost every top (next week I’ll try on pants) and am getting rid of about 30 items. Once I got past that I still liked an item, if it doesn’t look good on anymore, it’s just taking up space and needs to go. It messes with your head. After seeing your closet, I want to get it professionally designed!

Great timing of this video and really excited about the "back to basics". I was just thinking today, that next weekend I'm going to clean out my closet and start over with my wardrobe (or lack there of)!
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
I just recently did this and was able to decluttered so much clothing it is unreal! I cut my fall/winter wardrobe by about 40% I’m going to go through all my spring/summer stuff and only put away what I love and wear making note of what I might need to purchase. But after all of that I’m not going to buy anything else unless it’s a true need.

Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
Beth, I too organize my closet regularly. I love the tip of placing shoes opposite each other. I can't wait to see the future content you have planned for us this year!
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
I need a bigger closet!!!!😅. I've been so busy. You would cringe if you saw my closet. Whew. Have to organize. Just found your channel and subscribed. Lots of practical tips.
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
I do this at the beginning and end of each season and have done most of my adult life.. tastes change so if it's good I put in another room and reassess the clothes at the beginning of the appropriate season... some items just go but some I feel differently the next season if I dont it goes ... thankyou for your insightful video
I also color code my clothes. Casual wear on one side, work items on the other. My closet is not near as big as yours so one category for what to keep is determined by space. Once the space (the closet) is filled, items goes in the donation pile. I like the watch the Minimal Mom for organization tips. Her philosophy is that your stuff is inventory much like inventory at Dillards or Nordstrom’s and you have to manage it. You have to clean it, store it, move it etc. I don’t want to manage it so I keep my stuff pared down. Thank you for your videos - you always have good conte;t.

Hi Beth! First.....you look great!!! All the work outs are paying off!! (You would think that would motivate me!!) Second.....more great advice! When I go into my closet it looks like a Talbots store.......yet.. I always complain "I have nothing to wear!" SOOOOO......This video gave me the little push I needed!! Thanks again Beth! :)
GM Beth, I have two questions, and I'm really looking for help. 1) I need a solution for boot storage. 👢 How do you store all your tall and short boots? 2)My life has changed so drastically due to covid, no trips(we would usually take 3 a year), very few social events, Do I really want to pitch everything I haven't worn in a year? Christmas has always meant 3 formals, those events have been canceled since 2020. Do I save the formals? Store them? What are your thoughts?
Great system!!! I find I’m in a weird time period. Still working, but wow, have things gotten a lot more casual. I like dressing up a little bit more than a lot of my colleagues but I don’t want to separate myself or seem that I am either “out of touch” (I’m one of the oldest employees) or that I’m trying to somehow separate myself. I have set up my closet much like you have but I like the idea of completely emptying it and then reloading. I think my problem has come in trying to thin out instead of really editing.
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile and pics, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
Great content Beth. Will try to do a closet clean this Tuesday. Will be bitter cold so I'm not going out. It will be a perfect day to do a closet clean. ♥️🌹
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile and pics, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
Dear, I won't hang pants because you either iron them before you used them or wear wrinkle pants. There are clip hangers with 5 yo 6 clips. It will save space and keep them neat 👌
Love the video. I do just what u said lots of clothes, nothing to wear. Trying to stop before I buy something new & ask myself do I have something to wear with this item or where will I wear it.
Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile and pics, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
Love the video. Can you do a video on how to wear scarves and I love brooches - are they in style and how to wear them updated and stylish. Thanks!!!!!
Last October I tried on every piece of clothing in my closet, purged for donation and recycling. I’m pretty good about decluttering, but last summer I realized I was not wearing 3/4 sleeves or crop pants. I am 5’3” but my bones are relatively long. Crops hit me in the middle of my calf, not flattering. Three quarter sleeves make me feel like a scarecrow. Culling out those items put a nice dent in my closet. THEN I tried on almost everything left. I made outfits considering also shoes, underwear, jewelry and handbag. I wrote the outfit pieces on corded tags and hung them with hangup pieces. I used large lined sticky notes on the back wall of my folding shelves to list the pieces which go with any item I was not wearing on a regular basis. I concentrated on blazers, printed pants, unusual colors or features of a piece. I considered what shoes to wear with ankle pants, boot cut and straight leg jeans. Having all this documentation has helped me so much.

Hello dearie, how has your day been. I hope everything has been going great with you? I viewed your profile, you seems to be a very nice and loveable lady.
This is such a timely video.I've been putting this off for far too long but after watching your video you have given me the kick in the pants that I needed to just get on and do it! NOW!!
You got this!

Preparing and Doing this tomorrow as it is to be a cold rainy day
Oh, I wish I had a walk in closet! The shoe storage idea was very useful for me. 👍💕
I just have two methods when I clean out my closets..
Keep or Go !
Then when I get done , I get into the Go pile & see what I can throw away & the rest goes into storage for summer yard sales .. I have started in the kitchen with the cabinets, and have already a huge box that can be sold in my yard sale .. now I need more boxes ! Lol 😂
It’s feels so good when later , you go back & open the doors & it’s so clean & neat & I can see what I have , instead of digging for stuff . 😊
Love that!
I literally just cleaned out my closet before watching your channel. I typically clean out ever season. I do keep items that are fancy vacation and/or weddings for more like 3 to 4 years. As stated above we have not a lot of travel since 2020. Love the felt hangers and wood for coats and jackets.

Great ideas! I have done the decluttering. For a while, clothes were tight in my closet and I didn't like that. When I cut down to those things I loved, now there is room in between pieces. Also, I did this little trick where I put a hair band (they come by the dozens in packages) on each hanger and I took them off as I used the piece. I wanted to make sure I wore everything. Guess what--it got me to get rid of more. Now, I know for sure that all my closet is being used.

These are great suggestions Beth! Perfect timing too! I turned all my hangers backwards on January 1st to see what I’m actually wearing. Then I tried on almost every top (next week I’ll try on pants) and am getting rid of about 30 items. Once I got past that I still liked an item, if it doesn’t look good on anymore, it’s just taking up space and needs to go. It messes with your head. After seeing your closet, I want to get it professionally designed!
I can't recommend a professional closet designer enough. They will maximize every square inch of your space to make it functional yet beautiful.
If I got rid of 30 items half my closet would be gone.

Thank you Beth! We're downsizing. I hope to donate about 1/2 of my wardrobe.

Great timing of this video and really excited about the "back to basics". I was just thinking today, that next weekend I'm going to clean out my closet and start over with my wardrobe (or lack there of)!

Can you share how you store jewelry, scarves, hats?
i have two jewelry drawers in the built in dresser.
scarves are stacked and folded on a shelf.
I haven’t heard the word sachet in forever-I love them and drawer liner paper
I love to add lavender sachets in my lingerie drawer. Heavenly!
Very simple and easy way to organize. Thanks.
Most welcome 😊
I just recently did this and was able to decluttered so much clothing it is unreal! I cut my fall/winter wardrobe by about 40% I’m going to go through all my spring/summer stuff and only put away what I love and wear making note of what I might need to purchase. But after all of that I’m not going to buy anything else unless it’s a true need.

Thank you for showing how to make your closet visually organized so we can truly see what we have.. I’m tackling my closet tomorrow - gearing up to be ruthless 😁
You are so welcome!

I am alway organizing but I will now try your method. I love the simplicity I save you chart. Than you
Great timing! Just moving in and today I’m unboxing my closet! Love the hanger tutorial! Thanks Beth! Also going to be having a knee replacement this year, so appreciate your videos on that! You seem to be doing great since yours! Very encouraging! 💖
My knee replacement gave me my vibrant life back. It's no cake walk but in six weeks you'll be doing just fine.
Thank you…good to know!

Beth, I too organize my closet regularly. I love the tip of placing shoes opposite each other. I can't wait to see the future content you have planned for us this year!
thanks for watching! Happy 2022!

What a lot of clothes!
yes, i'm a style and lifestyle influencer.
Perfect timing! I started going through all of my clothes on Friday and have 2 nice big bags to take to donation.
Yes!!
I do this at the beginning and end of each season and have done most of my adult life.. tastes change so if it's good I put in another room and reassess the clothes at the beginning of the appropriate season... some items just go but some I feel differently the next season if I dont it goes ... thankyou for your insightful video
This will be my next project! Thank you!
I love your videos, thank you for all your help!
You are so welcome! I so appreciate you being here!
Perfect timing for this video ! Great helpful tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I also color code my clothes. Casual wear on one side, work items on the other. My closet is not near as big as yours so one category for what to keep is determined by space. Once the space (the closet) is filled, items goes in the donation pile. I like the watch the Minimal Mom for organization tips. Her philosophy is that your stuff is inventory much like inventory at Dillards or Nordstrom’s and you have to manage it. You have to clean it, store it, move it etc. I don’t want to manage it so I keep my stuff pared down. Thank you for your videos - you always have good conte;t.

Nice to see your beutiful collections. I just wonder who have so many throuses and white shitrts as you🤩
Hi Beth! First.....you look great!!! All the work outs are paying off!! (You would think that would motivate me!!) Second.....more great advice! When I go into my closet it looks like a Talbots store.......yet.. I always complain "I have nothing to wear!" SOOOOO......This video gave me the little push I needed!! Thanks again Beth! :)
it takes a little more time to get back in shape after 50. ahem, 60. but it can be done! good luck with your closet cleanse. you can do it!
Me encanta su estilo que elegancia ❤❤🇵🇪🇵🇪
Just in time for my winter closet refresh. Much love from 🇬🇧
Happy 2022!
GM Beth,
I have two questions, and I'm really looking for help.
1) I need a solution for boot storage. 👢 How do you store all your tall and short boots?
2)My life has changed so drastically due to covid, no trips(we would usually take 3 a year), very few social events, Do I really want to pitch everything I haven't worn in a year? Christmas has always meant 3 formals, those events have been canceled since 2020. Do I save the formals? Store them? What are your thoughts?
Putting some relaxing “spa” music on might be a good idea.
First one here!! I enjoy your channel Beth and have learned so much. I look forward to the new series! Thank you.
Thanks so much for being here!
Great system!!! I find I’m in a weird time period. Still working, but wow, have things gotten a lot more casual. I like dressing up a little bit more than a lot of my colleagues but I don’t want to separate myself or seem that I am either “out of touch” (I’m one of the oldest employees) or that I’m trying to somehow separate myself. I have set up my closet much like you have but I like the idea of completely emptying it and then reloading. I think my problem has come in trying to thin out instead of really editing.

Great content! Where did you get your patch jeans in the video? They are adorable!
those are Ralph Lauren about four years old.
Dear, I won't hang pants because you either iron them before you used them or wear wrinkle pants. There are clip hangers with 5 yo 6 clips. It will save space and keep them neat 👌
Love the video. I do just what u said lots of clothes, nothing to wear. Trying to stop before I buy something new & ask myself do I have something to wear with this item or where will I wear it.
Thank you .
Thank you Beth, that was very helpful, I’m looking forward to more ❤️love your content and your vibes
Thank you so much!

I will need to do another thinning. Have lots not worn that bought during the pandemic.
Congratulations
You are amazing
I wonder if you can help us how to organize our bags? 🎒👜💼
Love the video. Can you do a video on how to wear scarves and I love brooches - are they in style and how to wear them updated and stylish. Thanks!!!!!
Last October I tried on every piece of clothing in my closet, purged for donation and recycling. I’m pretty good about decluttering, but last summer I realized I was not wearing 3/4 sleeves or crop pants. I am 5’3” but my bones are relatively long. Crops hit me in the middle of my calf, not flattering. Three quarter sleeves make me feel like a scarecrow. Culling out those items put a nice dent in my closet.
THEN I tried on almost everything left. I made outfits considering also shoes, underwear, jewelry and handbag. I wrote the outfit pieces on corded tags and hung them with hangup pieces. I used large lined sticky notes on the back wall of my folding shelves to list the pieces which go with any item I was not wearing on a regular basis.
I concentrated on blazers, printed pants, unusual colors or features of a piece. I considered what shoes to wear with ankle pants, boot cut and straight leg jeans.
Having all this documentation has helped me so much.
