I loved this video. Really inspirational and I don’t want to do it but I know there are items I need to get rid of before I move house!
Thank you and yes more declutter sorting videos are needed. I’ve missed u. So glad you’re back.. 😊
I think you made such a valid point that when we declutter we can feel we've wasted money on clothes and can feel guilty about buying more but adding even a few new items that make us feel better can give us such a boost, we're worth it! I'm 57 so now coping with a menopause body and just finding replacement clothes in the shops is hard.
I remember after having my child I really appreciated how clever my body was. I felt the most feminine I ever felt. I embraced it flabby bits and all its imperfections. We have a habit of finding fault with our physical selves, but we should appreciate our health and what we are able to do. Not everyone has that. You have spurred me on to sort out my own closets now. Great video.
Your body grew a little person. That's an amazing body regardless of any change 😊
What a satisfying declutter, I really feel that it helps clear the mind! After my son was born I started devluttering, 8 years later, I'm still at it!
Decluttering can be not only physically draining, but also intellectually and emotionally draining! But despite all the hard work, SO rewarding and satisfying when it's done! Such a great feeling!!
You looked stunning in that dark blue dress! I hope you felt that way too and kept it 🙂Great job! Decluttering clothes that don't make you feel good about yourself is so very important! Have a lovely day
In the middle of this video I decided to finally do a massive clear out of my wardrobe, so definitely inspired by this 😂 Thank you!
That was a great declutter. Well done. I've been slowly decluttering my whole house room by room. Then I'll do my sheds!!
For the jumpers and dresses with narrow straps, take them to a seamstress and they can get creative adding trim or lace to make them wide enough to cover the bra strap. And the dress with the puffy shoulders, take that to a seamstress too and they can remove the poufy bit to create a traditional sleeve! Anything you love a lot except for 1 small aspect, see if it can't be modified before you part with it. A good seamstress can work miracles, even making small garments larger by creating side panels in matching solid colors. You will know they have been altered, but the rest of the world will think you bought it that way!
My policy these days if I should loose weight I deserve some new pieces not the ones in the back of my wardrobe. Good job Kay lovely video
LOVE this!! 🥰 So very true x
I only keep denim as it’s hard to find jeans that fit my body shape well ❤
I told myself that aswell, at one point I had so many sizes of clothes, my weight fluctuates a lot. Size 6,8,10,12,14. Right now I fluctuate btwn a 12 and 14! So all those clothes had to go!
Hi Kay we all have body changes specially when we get older. We just have to learn how to love ourselves no matter what. 👍👍❤
I'm in the middle of doing this just now. I'm 5 months pregnant and getting rid of things I don't wear (Vinted is the best!) and packing away things I won't wear until next year at least. I want the house to be a clutter free for the baby arriving so first stop is to clean out all my old clothes.
It’s Sunday and guess what I have just declutterred my wardrobe, I am giving away two large bags full of clothes and it feels amazing
Thank you for this encouraging and inspiring video! You are so lovely to listen to, very calming while also informative. I appreciate how you address the emotional aspect to decluttering and why it can be difficult to party with certain items. Still working on my wardrobe but looking forward to being more minimal very soon! 🤍

Saw a post earlier on menopause and thought I would elaborate on it….There is peri-menopause, menopause and then post -menopause. Period with peri-menopause, then no period for 12 consecutive months, then after no period for 12 months, so the 13th month, it’s called post-menopause. Piece of advice when the time comes , communicate with a GYN doctor about HRT or other ways to help. It was a huge game changer for me. The flashes pretty much gone, mood swings lessened, night sweats, anxiety lessened, heart palpitations, achy joints are gone, etc. The benefits are really important because without estrogen, inflammation throughout the body increase dramatically, can delay changes in skin, it slows the ageing process as well. My advice, when you turn 40… watch your weight because the weight gain is quick once the estrogen/ progesterone decline. Try to lose 1 stone once you start a few symptoms like night sweats. Weight gain is inevitable with most women. Love your vlog ! You are so clever ❤
What about if you take a progesterone tablet? I’m 38 based off my mother’s experience with menopause I’m terrified. I take the mini pill because it reduces my hormonal migraines. I suffer from a TBI so any reduction in migraine is a win. I wonder if it will help entering into peri-menopause. I suppose that would be a good question for my doctor lol 😂
It was still interesting to see your decluttering, however, just my personal preference for clothing decluttering videos, I enjoy hearing more of the decision making process. It would have been nice to hear more of you verbalizing your decision making process over your items. Why are you keeping the ones you’re keeping? What have you noticed about what you currently like. Why are you getting rid of the ones you are, why don’t you they work anymore? Etc. etc. I know many TH-camrs will say they don’t want the video to get too long.. I enjoy the longer ones with the ‘talking’/ explanations rather than just music with fast forwarded footage. If others don’t , they can always fast forward the videos. I find the explanations so much more helpful and motivating.
Same! 😊
I've discovered that if I love a colour but it doesn't feel right on me then to wear it as skirt/trouser/dungaree/pinafore. So I find that i like white fabric on my top half and around my face so I experiment with colors elsewhere instead. ❤
😊At the age of 60, I have realised that styling what you have is sooo important. Things have to go together, for colour & season, current body shape etc. It's a real skill but can save you so much tume & money.
I'd thoroughly recommend MM personal styling here on TH-cam. xx
I follow mm styling as well
Well done 👏 I need to declutter my clothes, I hope I can be as ruthless as you. I’m 62 and my body has changed so much, I need to lose weight and tone up, but due to some medical conditions it’s not going to be easy. Your video has giving me the push to start decluttering my clothes, which go from size 12-16 ! ❤
Don't think I've watched any of your videos before but really loved this one and am excited to watch more. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing, it was very relatable and always nice to have a reminder that others are going through similar struggles ❤
I think the navy blue smocked dress looked lovely on you. I was telling you through the screen to keep it 😊. I’m large chested too and I love a square neckline like that x
Thank you! I also like a square neckline or a boat neck cut x
Hello from Australia! I’m inspired: thank you 😊
It's great you decluttered Kay! Makes such a difference cleaning a closet as it seems to declutter the mind too! I am British living in the US and noticed when i moved here over 20 years ago. how large closets were, and people had so many clothes, i could not believe it! Almost lik the size of diner food plates!! Clothes were so cheap and abundantly available! I never really found a style for myself since i got into the trap of buying cheap clothes all the time for myself and my kids! I felt shopping was quite an American pastime! Finally seriously began to declutter all the clothes and found my style. Simple, floral dresses, sweaters, cardigans, t-shirts and skirts. A few pairs of shoes. I do not have typical summer/winter wardrobe, i just layer nice cardigans/sweaters over dresses/skirts. I remind myself, growing up in the UK we had small wardrobes, very little clothes and ate simply so i try to emulate that now. Thank you and God bless
Bravo! Your words about why decluttering a wardrobe is difficult is spot on. The money piece of it, together with thinking I'll shrink back into things are my biggest stumbling blocks.
Looks like the colours you like belong the colour analysis summer category which might make sense with your complexion in my amateur opinion. Have you ever had a colour analysis?
If you really are a summer then that yellow dress might not be the best colour for you and could explain why it's not you're favorite. Generally speaking colours that are cool and muted work great on summers. Loved your declutter, great job!
So important to dress for your body now. You’ve inspired me! Clothes are not forever. X
I’m guilty of keeping clothes in the car as well 😅 xx
Before I never gave much thought to my body shape, but now at 67 I am finding I just don’t like what I see in the mirror. I need to do a “ Kay” declutter of my closets!
This video came at just the right time, I have been wanting to declutter my closet as well. This was so motivating!! And I loved the message about being happy with the body your have now. Being in a different season of life myself, this is something I want to remember. Thanks Kay❤
So satisfying to watch! Have you considered adding shelves above the closet rods? I keep my out of season clothes up there in my closet
I'm loving your music choices lately!
Me and clothes, oh what a battle! Because of the whole mother passing down insecurities thing, I'm unable to go clothes shopping without hearing her voice in my head whenever I try the clothes on, pointing out every flaw. We've talked about it and she's apologised, but I often need to firmly remind her that her feedback isn't helpful, when she thinks she's saving me from embarrassment. And then there's the clothes you keep from sentimental value, the clothes you keep hoping to fit one day...the clothes you throw out as you've lost weight and you don't want to go back but then you gain again and wish you hadn't...
My resolution for the year is to learn how to sew. It'll happen...I have a sewing machine and a dress maker has said she'll teach me...I just have to start. I want to sew retro 50s A-line dresses as that's the style I enjoy and then I'll know that they will fit my very pear-shaped body.
Oh!!!! You still have your beautiful fluffy kitties!! So glad!
Sometimes its hard to declutter clothes!!! Ya dont want to let go of some but ya know ya have ta.
Of courseee! 🥰🐱🐱 Yes, it can be so hard to declutter, especially clothes
Why not give Dom all the spare white velvet hangers you now have? So he can get rid of the chunky wooden hangers and you both will have so much more room in there : )
Morning kay, hope you're well,love a wardrobe declutter ❤
Hi lovely! Best feeling isn't it 🥰
What a good job done, Kay!
Brilliant video, Kay!! I love the music you use and the way you talk us through everything. Great tips, too. I decutter my clothes like this now, and I don't feel overwhelmed. Thank you xxx
Hi Kay, loved the video as always, full of motivation and inspiration! Have a wonderful weekend 😘
💗❤️ I’ve followed you since your New Zealand days! I have always felt so in sync with you. I was living in Vietnam and was doing vegan keto at the same time as you (how I discovered you I believe) and then I also went “no longer vegan” at the same time as you and it felt like happenstance. Then I slowly started gaining weight till one day it hit me and I realized I was no longer the size I used to be and I felt very down about it. I was like this for a few years till this new year and decided I need professional help to deal with it bc losing the weight on my own seemed impossible. (I did manage to lose the first 10 lbs on my own but the last 10 seemed impossible). So I hired a health coach and did a strict diet plan and it actually worked! I feels so much more like myself again back in the body that truly feels like me. If I can do, I believe anyone can! ❤
Goodmorning Kay 😊 i have also my wardrobe full and nothing to wear 🤭 i must do a declutter to 🤭 have a nice weekend ☀️
Uh-oh, I can definitely relate to that! 🤣 good luck with your decluttering lovely!
@@Livingthelifeyoulove Thanks 😊
Hello, I need to do a wardrobe de clutter too. When I got married I was a size 14 and now 13 years ago I’m a size 14. We don’t have children and I have difficulty doing some exercise or standing for too long as I have mild scoliosis. I’m in a phase of wearing dresses but coz of my big bust some of them make me look too big unless I wear a belt. But I’m planning a weight loss journey mainly because I’m hoping it will help my lower back pain plus I’d love to buy bras from a normal shop than spend £40 on a decent comfy bra. Hopefully by this time next year I will be a little slimmer and healthier xx
Wishing you well on your wellness journey! ♥️ It can be so tricky with clothes, not wanting to part with them incase you may need them in the future but definitely check in and see if there are any that you really don't enjoy wearing and start there. 🥰
I feel you.. I was pregnant with twins 2 years ago and have been breastfeeding them to this day and I still 20 pounds heavier than before I was pregnant - so most of my clothes in my wardrobe don't fit me at all.. couldn't find time to sort out and declutter my wardrobe.
This video inspires me.. I guess starting small will be my best choice.
Wow, you did amazing Kay xx
Its such a goid feeling to clean out. I too had tons of clothes I didn't wear. I am no longer shopping for my future body, and getting rid of everything I don't feel good in
Really enjoyed the declutter!! You’ve motivated me to do my wardrobe! It’s so overwhelming I am totally with you about not wanting to put the laundry away because I’ve got no where to put the clothes!
After you’ve had all your children the next huge shock to the body is menopause. Nothing is the same. Everything changes, almost overnight. It is a huge shock. Of course I’m generalising, there are some women who sail through. I don’t know any though.
I think it's luck. I'm 48 and just going through that journey after having a hysterectomy 2 years ago. You just have to navigate the ride the best you can ❤
Your so right. I've been 115 pounds my whole life.....then you reach a certain age, then boom...everything changes.. All of a sudden, nothing fits, I now weigh 150 but my eating habits haven't chaged, nor my activity level. Its depressing because I just can't lose the weight
I'm here to say I'm 60 n sailed thro it all
Me, I did, and I’ve two friends that also had no symptoms.
I have found it funny how when I was a hormonal teenager and grumpy because of it, people had a go at me and yet now female relatives are hormonal going through the menopause and they are the grumpy ones! x
Great work with the declutterring! I did the same earlier in the year and it felt so good, so much easier getting dressed in the morning now. Everything goes together and everything feels good and fits. I have a list of a few wish list items on Notion, a do not buy list and a capsule wardrobe mood board in my planner so buying clothes in the future will be so easy 😊
And shes back❤❤❤
What you said about clothes is me so I really have culled been at it for a few months now and buying better pieces xxx
Well done, great declutter! Well thought out as well. Must feel so good, my wardrobe is so full, I really need to do the same.
Have a lovely weekend ❤
Sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do.... even despite the heat! It was 99 degrees here in sunny California and I had a project that was long over due and had not been done; I recently redecorated my bedroom and put up a wall of brick-look self stick vinyl wallpaper. The edges were not sticking and were coming apart at the seams. It looked horrible. So today in the heat I tackled fixing the edges down with silicone caulking. It was a HOT, MESSY, SWEATY job, but I got it done and my room looks amazing again!
I was going to ask if you would consider putting the decluttered stuff on Vinted and sharing a link here, but I guess it’s too late for that!
Your bedroom is sooo beautiful! 🥰
Lovely, thanks for the inspo!😊
What a satisfying declutter 😍😍
Amazing declutter well done! That blue dress was gorgeous. I have the same problem with bra straps and I use cropped thin cardigans to tie fronted short shirts. Have you thought of putting the unsure clothes at the front so you see them all the time? You might decide better that way. Thanks for the inspiration to have a clear out
I love a good declutter !
Yes, inspiration to de clutter - when I get around to it lol 😊. Great vlog
Hello, I'm 5 minutes in so far... I became a first time mum last June and have since been on the journey of not knowing what to wear. The other day I decluttered my wardrobe finally as I like to be minimal too but since becoming a mum, I have not felt inspired by my clothes so much until my boy was about 9 months I think. It's been good to declutter, let go and accept I'm not going to wear short short skirts any more or boyish looking clothes as I want to look like a nice lady haha, I want clothes to compliment me. Another thing my partner & I did and have done generally with the materials in our house is... get rid of any material that isn't natural! That made deciding on clothes that bit easier. I do have a small pile of seasonal clothes in a basket tucked away (in sight) along with some pre-breastfeeding dresses that I once enjoyed - to decide on at a later date. Shall carry on watching now :)
Kay, this was a motivating video, thank you! With dresses which are too revealing, I sometimes wear a T-shirt over the top, or a linen shirt,which I leave open, this seems to work well, for me-esp. if you love the dress, but feel it's not working for you, it might be worth a try! love sue xxx
Happy Saturday
You too 🌞
At the end of the day it doesn't matter how you look. Its about how you feel! I thought that dark blue tank dress looked beautiful on you, but if you don't wear it, get rid of it!
I love a good old decluttering video, so satisfying to watch! In terms of personal style, I was so frustrated through the years with my clothes, but recently I've discovered the system of "Style Roots" created by Ellie-Jean Royden | Body and Style, on TH-cam, and it is LIFE CHANGING! I highly recommend you go check out her channel. She also has created another system called the body matrix, on how to find your best lines, that feels so much personalized than the "pear shape" and all that stuff. So style roots + body matrix + color seasons (explained by Ellie-Jean) is completely revolutionary for me, I don't shop the same way, and now everything I do buy, I love so much and feel like it's just perfect for me.
Glad you had a declutter. Never seen so many clothes😀
Honestly? She doesn't have all that much for a period of years/sizes, plus all seasons, maternity, and postpartum/nursing friendly. Watch more videos; Kay's collection was modest in comparison to many! Great job cultivating your wardrobe, Kay! 😀
Oh wow Kay you did really well 👏💐 I need your help in my wardrobe 😳😃 I have so many clothes and find it hard to part with a lot (I always say if I lose a bit of weight I would fit back in them or what if we fall on hard times and I’ve got rid of clothes that fit etc) this video is very inspirational xx I find decluttering shoes also hard (least I haven’t got too many 😂) xx
Congratulations on your little boy. I had my 3rd little in Nov too. I’ve got another 12months of bf ahead of me, I’ve recently been trying to sort my wardrobe too. It’s quite challenging, im back to my pre pregnancy weight and a size 8 but don’t feel body confident as my legs and bottom are untoned and I had 3 big babies and Diastasis recti with each, so my tummy isn’t looking it’s best 🙈 So trying to declutter, keep bf friendly clothes, whilst still trying to feel cute in mum uniform. I wish someone could just do it for me… decision fatigue is crazy😢
great job... always one we try to avoid..don't get drawers....not s deep as you think... Ottoman bed. Brilliant.... 😊
That navy smocked dress on you❤
Great video Kay, you kept at it ... inspiring. ❤❤
Thank you so much! x
I promise if you leave those spare hangers there you will fill them lol - hide them! Or if you get something new replace it with something you have maybe x ps i LOVED this.
Great work, well done
Great video. Love a declutter ❤ 😊
Hello Kay, I hope you are doing amazing! Are you selling these pieces? :)
My fave kind of vlog 😊x
I’ve just done mine I’ve lost weight so a lot has gone xxx
Hello kay l enjoy your video have a wonderful weekend ❤🎉😊😊 xx
Thanks lovely! Hope you have a great weekend ♥️
Awesome progress made, how much space yo made x
Hej theere, hope you had a good morning ;)
Hope you do too! 🌞
Good job! 👏👏👏
😊 well done - doesn't make you feel great when you declutter. The downside is knowing that most likely in a few years you have to do it again😮
❤😊x.
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Trust me, you do not have that much clothes 😂 Soooo many have a lot more than this!
Hii dear..Do you like to donate your used clothes to us
Alot of adverts in your videos now
You really I'd declutter! We all need to. I have been doing it slowly. I have a reusable bag, and when it's full, it goes to Goodwill. It is smart to stick to what you like. Fashion trends are fickled and are meant to make you want to buy more. I try to stick to basic and classic clothes. And of course, ones I love. And you inspired me to go back to the color palette that I like. Great video! ❤
