Happy 2025! So happy and excited to be back after a little holiday break -- feeling optimistic about the year ahead. Thank you for watching and may we all rid of the things that no longer serve us! 🥳
Yess omg that was me. When i started minimalism almost 5 years ago, clothes, sentimental items, and books were the hardest for me. I kept lots of clothes since it almost fitted me 1 size smaller since i gained weight from the pandemic and also i had great memories in that clothes so it was hard to let go of. I did eventually very slowly by slowly got rid of the clothes at the end, and books lol
My cousin & I recently went through her closet & she got rid of clothes! In that closet she had enough to load every inch in my minicooper up to only see out of the mirrors & front windows. What a donation she made. We should have recorded it. We also downsized her furniture by using smaller open storage containers in the closet & hanging her TV. We went through her kitchen & all that went to a local thrift store. So many coffee mugs, travel thermos & small appliances, just wow. We gave away more from other rooms & decluttered her outdoor patio. About a week of solid purging. It just felt so good & opened her home to having cozy areas. We just had such a great visit & going down memory lane together.
I'm old enough to be your mom and just wanted to say, "It's the time in your life where you can now go for quality." Go for quality in your clothing and you can't go wrong.
It’s frustrating when you like all the things about a piece yet you don’t reach for it, and I believe this actually because it’s not your style. Even though the fit and cut is right it doesn’t make you feel like “you”. And that’s why you don’t reach for it. I’ve learnt that I have to find the fit and cut of things in the style I wear. It really is about being very picky with what you buy. It’s the fitting right but also in my personal style
You should get a color analysis done to find out what season looks best on you. Your clothes are all over the board and some of the colors are FABULOUS on you!
First!!! I love that you’re trying everything on!!! Second!!! I love how you’re sharing your mental process. I’ve seen other videos where people show a b roll of them just chucking things. But your comments on the items are so helpful! Thank you!!!❤
Phew! For awhile there I thought you were going to keep everything 😅 around 6 months ago I donate around 150 items of clothing and footwear. ( I worked in fast fashion for 20years.) today I went through my maybes and 90 % of them are now packed in the car ready for the next visit to the charity shop! I still have a lot of clothes. I’m 61 so a lot of the clothes I have will good to wear for many years to come. However when change of season comes around I’ll be decluttering again!
Keep the jacket & get it tailored. It’s really cute. Those shoulder pads. 😆 What were we thinking?! 😆You did a great job. I recently purged my clothing & shoes…11 boxes & 4 bags & 1 week later, my dresser & closet were organized. I love it. It’s been over 2 months & I am still keeping everything organized. I even went through my jewelry. It feels good. I’m so happy you got that goal accomplished. It was quite the effort.
Congratulations on the occasion of your wardrobe clean out! I did the same thing about 6 months ago, and I need to go back through the “maybes” - I’m sure there are things there I can get rid of now. I donated 3 huge boxes of “no” items to an organization that operates a “clothing closet” for women who are going back to school and/or reentering the job market. I still have too many clothes. *sigh*
Happy New Year Ms.Schulman. It's a good thing to donate the clothes that you don't want instead of throwing them away. There's always someone that is in need. and the clothes that you're donating look top Quality.
Enjoyed this peek into normally a very private activity. Thanks for allowing us to see you actually try on everything and speaking out your thoughts. It is so relatable and is helping me get ready to do the same!
Happy new year! Congratulations on 10k! Well deserved ❤. Great job on purging and donating. Your clothes will bring joy to someone. When we clear out stagnant energy, we are making room for positive energy and changes. Get ready for some new movement for the space you have created! Looking forward to seeing more content in 2025. Cheering you on from California! Best, Naomi!
Congrats and Happy New Year! Getting started is the worst part for me! Before I head out, I look around and ensure there isn't more. The nonprofit I go to is true to its cause. They do a fine job, and I feel good that others benefit from what I no longer use. Thank you for inspiring others to donate clothing that is no longer used and bless others.
Happy New Year, Gail, and congratulations on your 10,000-plus subscribers and your wardrobe refinement. Have you ever been color analyzed? Having one done might make an interesting video and might further refine your wardrobe. Anyway, I enjoy your videos--they are real. I wish you the best for the future. Judy in NC.
Loved the video! With the things you need to fix, get tailored, or iron, I put them in a specific section of my home/closet (in view) so they don't get buried again, and I have a visual reminder of those things I need to get done. I have way too many clothes, and even stuff I like gets buried sometimes, so that trick works well for me. I hope the new year is treating you well.💕✨
I feel the same way about the oversized look. I use it a lot during covid, but now I am ready to get make to better fitting clothes...that is so awesome that you put it outside for someone to take
Great video! I decided to declutter my closet this year, so this is inspiring! I am now retired, spend many days a week in my pickleball clothes, so time to change my wardrobe for the new life I am actually living, not the one I imagine I am living! I will let go of work clothes, and upgrade my athletic/leisure clothes!
Congratulations on reaching 10k+ subscribers! Purging clothing can be a painful process. It's on my list for the month of January. Thanks for the motivation!
I am late to this. HNY Gail 😘 That was great and inspiring. I definitely need to do this asap because I had planned to do it before the year end but, well, it never happened. Thanks for the reminder. And congrats for crossing 10k
Gail!!!! Just found your channel from your apartment tour and instantly subscribed! Loving you and your content! This video is motivating me to clean out my own closet as well!!!!!!! Happy New Year!🎈
You have more clothing in your chuck pile ..than I have in my whole wardrobe ! But I’m more than double your age so obviously need very little now ..great Vlogmas thank you from a Scottish island Granny
that was fun watching you try on everything. I was saying "keep" "maybe" and "donate". We agreed on most items! Good luck, you won't regret decluttering. Life goes on.
Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers! Your videos are so satisfying to watch, so organized - what a great way to start (end) a year. Btw, such nice pieces to donate, someone is going to start the year off with some beautiful clothes. Happy New Year!
This video is so motivating Gail! I am so totally going through my clothing this weekend, thank you! Makes you feel quite liberated, huh...? !! I have lots of clothes too, and in great condition, but I just don't wear them all anymore, and my job allows me to dress very casual, so that on top of it, ugh! Going to be donating a bunch as well 🤗...Buh byeeee!
Happy new year sweet girl🎉🎉🎉 you were sorely missed😢 I so enjoy your videos! You are so down to earth and I always donate my clothes. If my children and grandchildren do not want them then they go in the donate pile and I bring them have a blessed prosperous safe new year.🙏 me, and Otis🐶Massachusetts
Gail, Happy New Year's 🥳🎉🍾🥂 Great closet clean out. So proud of you for helping others. Looking forward to more of your content vlogs in 2025. I love your apartment decor. 🥰
Your closet is like a store of adorable outfits! Meanwhile, I’m planning a daring expedition into my own closet (and attic) this weekend. If you hear a faint cry for help, it’s just me being buried under a mountain of questionable fashion choices. Send reinforcements! LOL
Happy New Year Gail . I have to say you have the best channel . .Such level headed young women, such a good roll model.for girls starting out on their own ..
I never did this until after my retirement, had no idea how much I owned until then. Got rid of 2/3. Gone are all my office attire, and all shoes. Only kept sneakers that fit and my boots. I now live in jeans, shorts, tees, and sneakers or boots. BTW, I still own a huge collection of coats, love my coats❤.
You motivated me…Goal get rid of some clothes i have held onto just because they are good not because I will ever wear them again. Hard to do. I will give myself the month of January to do this. thanks Gail
I love your videos! I saw once that for pit stains you can use a pre wash of detergent in the armpits and then use oxygen bleach (they make unscented!) and that helps with my clothes.
Happy New Year, Gail! I need to do the same thing. You inspired me and I hope to do some decluttering myself. Congrats on your 10k…. I enjoy your videos!
I feel you! My goal is to organize my clothes and only keep what I absolutely love and wear. I sell lots on Poshmark. I don’t hang on to pieces very long. Props to you!
Just want to add that I feel your pain in deciding to let go of any of your jackets. I find it nearly impossible to let go of any jackets I've bought. Only exceptions--it was given to me, has shrunk, is damaged, stained, or is too high maintenance (hand wash or dry-clean only, for instance). If I loved them when I bought them, chances are I love them still!
Whilst it might not help to remove stuff - a closet cleanout also brings to mind clothes you have completely forgotten. So you feel as if you have new clothes - meaning you are less likely to buy more stuff for a while
Happy 2025! So happy and excited to be back after a little holiday break -- feeling optimistic about the year ahead. Thank you for watching and may we all rid of the things that no longer serve us! 🥳
Happy New Year, Gail!❤🥂
Where did you get your dinning table and chairs?

@@theregoesgail thanks !
Love this video and your message. I am in the same boat and currently being honest with my own closet. Thank you for sharing and new subscriber.
The hardest Part is always getting rid of the clothes you actually love but realising they're just not your style.
ugh it's so hard

Amazing work & what a great way to spend time/bond together! ♥️
Love this comment! I can just feel the satisfaction from the experience!
Can I borrow you both I need help lol
What a wonderful loving and giving cousin you are! Can I adopt you?! ;o}
I'm old enough to be your mom and just wanted to say, "It's the time in your life where you can now go for quality." Go for quality in your clothing and you can't go wrong.
I love how you folded everything and took care packing it. Not everyone does that. Happy New Year!
Same to you!!

You should get a color analysis done to find out what season looks best on you. Your clothes are all over the board and some of the colors are FABULOUS on you!
If you get the opportunity you might consider getting your colors done. It would help to know what looks best on you. ...just an idea.

@lindawynell
😊😊😊 well done ! You and Gail have huge closets lol. I own less than she gave away.
I just did a massive clothing clean out a few days ago! Glad we're all on the same page 😅
Haha great minds think alike!
You inspired me to clean out my clothes. Thank you!! Happy new year 🎉
Happy 2025 - you got it!
This is exactly what I need to do. I cling to things I've not worn in years. It is helping my resolve to watch your process, so thank you!!
Same❤ I need to be brutal & realize someone can benefit from wearing what I do not.

Happy New Year Ms.Schulman. It's a good thing to donate the clothes that you don't want instead of throwing them away. There's always someone that is in need. and the clothes that you're donating look top Quality.
Thank you, Calvin! I can assure you they were not thrown away🙂
I love a good wardrobe purge! So satisfying and so much easier to pick an outfit each day when you can see what you have.
1000%
The hardest thing for me is getting rid of clothing with sentimental value. Happy New Year!
It's definitely the hardest!
As a runner too soooo many race jackets and shirts with sentimental memories but not going to workout in!
Enjoyed this peek into normally a very private activity. Thanks for allowing us to see you actually try on everything and speaking out your thoughts. It is so relatable and is helping me get ready to do the same!
Great declutter! Pretty amazing that it all fit in the closet to begin with, lol!

Happy New Year Gail . I have to say you have the best channel . .Such level headed young women, such a good roll model.for girls starting out on their own ..
Ah that is so kind of you to say - thank you!
How therapeutic and satisfying Gail - now your ‘keep’ clothes have some breathing room in your closet!
100%!
BRAVO, YOU DID IT, MISSION TO PURGE ACCOMPLISHED!
WOOHOO!
I never did this until after my retirement, had no idea how much I owned until then.
Got rid of 2/3. Gone are all my office attire, and all shoes. Only kept sneakers that fit and my boots.
I now live in jeans, shorts, tees, and sneakers or boots.
BTW, I still own a huge collection of coats, love my coats❤.
It's crazy how much we accumulate!
You motivated me…Goal get rid of some clothes i have held onto just because they are good not because I will ever wear them again. Hard to do. I will give myself the month of January to do this. thanks Gail
You got this, Patricia!
Happy new year Gail! Good job cleaning out your closet!!😊😊
Happy New Year to you too!
I love your videos! I saw once that for pit stains you can use a pre wash of detergent in the armpits and then use oxygen bleach (they make unscented!) and that helps with my clothes.
Thanks for the tip!! ♥️
I narrowed my color palette and love my basics! Selling and then donating -
Happy New Year ❤
Same to you!!
Hey Gail. I’m working on decluttering too. It’s very hard. I haven’t worn some things in years but I can’t let go
It's tough, but you can do it!
Happy New Year, Gail! I need to do the same thing. You inspired me and I hope to do some decluttering myself. Congrats on your 10k…. I enjoy your videos!
Thank you! And good luck with your decluttering!
Congrats on 10,000 subscribers!
Thank you!!!
Cleaning out, I try to think that somebody else will need it more than I do!
