cleaning & clearing out my closet 👗🛍️ 

There’s a buzzing sound in the background when you use the spatula mic 🐝

Absolutely loved this video, but did anyone else hear a buzzing noise like there was a permanent fly? Xx

Not gonna lie, I love you for this confession. I feel so guilty looking at the dust in my closet. I feel comfort knowing there are other people out there who can't get to cleaning out their closet.

Your discussion of your dream corporate wardrobe is basically what I do.... I work in a professional office 4 days a week. I have 4 classic suits, 8 vintage blouses ❤️, a couple classic skirts, 2 dresses and a few vintage silk scarves. It makes dressing quick & easy, while still expressing my personality.

I am totally with you on the whole silk blouse of it all...I start screaming whenever anyone says silk is a good fabric to wear when it's hot out. NO! THE SWEAT THE SWEATTTT

Allana I’ve been following you forever, and always look forward to everyday May but this year the appreciation is on another level. I recently had a baby and you don’t know how fun everyday may has been this time around. I prop up my phone and watch you every time I breastfeed 😂 it’s been such a treat

The vintage Dior blazer, what’s the composition? If you love everything else about it you could investigate getting it dyed to a colour you like so you wear it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi Allana, the shirts that you say are silk from H&M are really made of polyester and not real silk. Polyester heats up the body because it’s a man-made material, but real silk does not heat up it cools you down.

For any dark fabrics (like black and dark blue) that have faded there is a laundry detergent called Perwoll that restores the color. Just FYI. 😊

Oh my gosh I relate so much to the not growing up with means to attain fashion, but also style and I am the same. A HORDER! Love this and all you do ❤

I did a MAJOR closet clean out recently and have been selling things online and using the money to replace with things I love and fit. It was um....a bit confronting! Many items that don't fit at all, items that had weird memories etc. Felt so good to get rid.

Aw, that defeated "aw I'm not doing a great job here" at 13:35😭🙈 Listen, I FELT that. I feel like I mostly wear scrubs, so I can't always rotate my cloths through a season... So I, too, struggle with parting with my cloths based on how often I wear a piece of clothing.. In the end, any closet clear-out for me ends up being based on "am I still in love with the piece"..🤷🏻‍♀🙈😁

The buzzing is brutal!! Do you neeeed this mic?

This is so satisfying just cleaning g out and purging your closet…😊

Allana, get some vanish stain remover, the one in the pink bottle. It honestly works on almost any stain 😊.

This video inspired me to clean and clear my closet. I am also guilty of hoarding clothing and shoes because I'm petite and it's hard to find things that fit and that I really like. But some things just gotta go to make space for things I need. 🥰 As usual I am loving EDM and have been watching it for years now. I appreciate you and Dejan's hard work. Thank you!

I enjoy everyday may! Thank you, Allana!🎉

For the stained shirts, try soaking them in Biz for a few days! That's what my mom used for our white oxford school shirts with gnarly teenage sweat stains (lol) and it got them out every time, better than anything else ever could.

Ahhh hate the giant mic lol sorry Lanz. The small clip on one was fine. Loving everyday MAY 🩷

I definitely need to do this. Thank you for the reminder. ❤

LOVED this video so much. Thanks Allana❤

This is the reminder/motivation I need to this to my own closet this weekend!!

This was the kick I needed to do my own closet cleaning, super appreciate the actual tips included ❤

Your button up collection!!! 🤩 dreamz

Loved this video Allana ❤

I feel like you had a great evolution the last couple of months with your outfits. And I’m loving them! Hoping I’ll get to this point in my life as well soon!❤

You slayed the white tee with the slick hair a jewelry 👌🏼 inspired me for tomorrow and motivated me to switch out my winter/summer clothes since we’re finally getting warmer weather this week in van!! 🥳

This was the perfect motivation for me to get up and do my closet. It’s been on my todo list for a month

Perfect timing! I was seven mins in trying to finish up my steps for the day and girl I was so bored haha time will fly now!! Thank you!!🤍🤍🤍

Love your style. I have so much success removing stains with the soap sticks like Exit Soap 🖤🖤🖤

In home professional organizer here! You did a great job actually 😊. Setting a limit for how long you’ll keep certain maybe pieces is a smart move. It’ll make the next clean out easier.

Omg I love closet clean outs🤩🤩🤩

i loved watching this video from start to finish. listening to you yap away in a friendly and excited way. and also feeling relieved and refreshed because you struggle through this in the same way i do. (': the Allison newsletter truly coming out with perfect timing for lots of us.

Can’t wait to watch this one when I get back from work !!

For the 'How' pieces you don't wear/ want to try to wear more: Take them out of the closet and leave them on the rail, to keep them top of mind as a reminder that you need to challenge yourself to wear them in the next month or so. You have so many clothes that you'll forget about them otherwise and just keep reaching for your regulars.

Wow. It's like you're in my head, lol....I'm in the same boat with spring cleaning and all. At first, I was so overwhelmed that I literally wrote down a "plan" for day to day projects, and once I started, I could feel the overwhelming feeling start to melt away. At first, I felt like there was so much, but my daily goals have helped me tremendously and keep me feeling accomplished. 😊. Thank you for the recommendation of her newsletters!! Xoxo ❤️ P.S. I'm loving all of the vlogs and different content. #EVERYDAYMAY 😊

If the Isabel Marant blouse has faded a bit you can always try washing it with a black dye to bring the black to life again 🖤

As a girl who grew up wearing hand me downs from older brothers, i feel the need to hoard womens clothing. I needed this inspo to reflect on my own style. thank youuu

I love everyday May!! I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years I’ve been watching!

I find that it helps hold the shape better if I button my blouses at the collar once they’re on the hanger.

Loving this content! Would totally watch a longer version if you tackle the back room too. Style and organization are two of my favorite lifestyle contents!

You single handedly inspired me to really immerse myself into menswear and they’re such timeless pieces I feel.

Loving the earrings!!

I'm dying at the shirt declutter lolol but I would also keep all the ones you kept

I love a good closet clean out! Ever since I started my poshmark store it’s been something I look forward to. It’s definitely work to post things to sell, but I love wrapping it up all pretty with a little card and the idea of it going somewhere it will be worn and loved. I have a goal to LOVE everything in my closet, even if I haven’t worn it in over a year. I don’t subscribe to this “if you haven’t worn it in a year” idea simply because I don’t go out enough. I’d regret that. There are so many classic type things that I keep forever, but the more trendy things I’ll let go. For me I have a pile of things I need to get altered so I’ll wear it. I wish so much I were the same size as you! I peruse your Depop with longing 😍. The fact that you have a sweater vest section makes me love you even more. A gal with a sweater vest collection is such a green flag and I love it!

Morning Allana, I watched you via the TV today and had no problem with the sound. I’m sure you’ve tried a lot of things to get the tan stain out of your clothes. I use a ‘Vanish’ stick which looks a bit like a deodorant and I paste it over the neck stains and let it soak in. So funny we’re talking about laundry when you’re going through your beautiful wardrobe. You did a good job today 🥰

Allana, I totally understand your hoarding problem. I'm in my mid 30's and only recently found my style. Pretty clothing never truly been accessable growing up and as young adult I has different priorities spending money. Now I can actually enjoy some pretty pieces! I feel you thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

I have recently acquired two Nili Lotan trousers and they just WIN!! Please keep that blazer! Love your content. Much love and continued success!!

Oh it’s the mic when you’re not using it, it doesn’t have that buzzing noise ❤

Proud of you 😁❤️❤️

love that navy blue jacket with gold buttons....very military inspired

vanish oxi action is a game changer for the stains!

I 😍 your look/style!

Dejan has been killing it with the music/sound and edits on all the every day may vids, they always make me lol 😂

If you have storage room, save the unworn but beautiful pieces. Take it from a 62 year old -- your tastes will change and it can be so rewarding when you find old pieces that are trending again!

Loved this video!! I’m inspired to clean out my closet now (but also slightly scared 😅)

May the 4th be with you!!

Great video! Motivated me to clean out two of my drawers and my daughter’s wardrobe - so therapeutic! Also heard the buzzing at the beginning of the video but thought it was the construction going on next to my house 🤭😂

Ok dang it I’ll clean out my closet!

Every single time you said oh no I ruined the collar with makeup, I kept thinking boo you need to get yourself a stronger stain removing game. I personally never got white anything or light coloured clothing because I’m messy af yk. But as an adult I was like but I want whites and creams etc so I built myself a mostly strong stain removing game. One of my holy grail stain removers is the ecover branded one that tackles stubborn stains (clear bottle, hot pink twist on cap) and it’s where my journey started but man it’s incredible. Now I’ve built out the stain removing system via much online research but seriously if you hadn’t tried this guy, defo give it a whirl. Usually I leave it on the stain area like 8-24hrs (aka many many hours lol to ensure it really soaks in)

OMG I so relate to everything you say! it is almost frightening 😅

Im so late…so far loving, yes I am very friendly with dust bunnies! Esp with animals! I did try your makeup look, not with same products, but the whole glam blush on forehead, etc. I sweat it off in one hour, but I loved look! Ty… oh I’m in humid climate right now preparing house for hurricane season! Yay! So I just sweat always all day long. Ty for doing this clean out! You are a motivator for me woman! Dig! ty…x

It might be too late, but if you want to keep the Dior blazer you can dye it!

Love EDM so far !! you guys are killing it! What is the lip you are wearing in this? is it the prisma Glass or a lip balm? you lips look so natural and healthy!

"they're just so different" looking at blue shirts is giving Devil wears Prada hahha ❤ love this vid thanks for sharing

I love that you kept it real and told us how you've never cleaned your closet and how dirty it is. I did a closet clean out recently and it felt so good although I have to admit I still have the bag of clothes I got rid of sitting in my closet waiting to be donated. Also just wanted to let you know there is a buzzing sound in the background.

Great video! Thanks for the tips. Btw, if your black top is natural fibers you can buy black dye and redye it 🙂

I completely relate to the hoarding issue not growing up with much. In high school, I had 6 outfits that I would rotate 😬. I do like a good purge every once in awhile though. Thank you for sharing Allison’s tips throughout. I’m proud of you for letting the Dior blazer go. Someone else may get pleasure from wearing it 😊. I did think it was funny about keeping the matching set for another year 😂. I really liked the first blue blazer you had on, wear it!

Pleeease do a part 2!!

I think the 1st closet Clean out I watched of yours was in your apartment with the small closet. I remember how you loved the big oversized sweaters with the high necks. This was before you had started dating your husband. Still loving the closet Clean out videos, now I am inspired to tackle my own!

Did you just motivate me to clean out my closet Allana???? My husband will pass out!!! LOL

Can’t wait to go through mine, but it will have to wait until I’m almost done my maternity. Manifesting things fit

I try and do the opposite with my more 'maybe' pieces - I take them out and put them in luggage or with my clothes to sell and then if I find I am thinking about it or want to wear it again I will go into that pile and grab it, but not seeing it really helps give me the distance to assess if I genuinely want to keep it or not!

OMG I NEED TO DO THIS! I am terrible about getting rid of things though🙈🙈

The buzzing sound!!!!!!

Ooof felt so much of this video. Sighhhh

Look into dying the vintage Dior jacket:)

😂Oh Allana..... two and a half years? Try 25....🙄 And mine is all paperwork, journals, letters, photos. I sorted one shelf over days and then lost the will to live and shut the doors. 😎❤

It's so funny that you say your self tanner stains. It always washes right out for me. Also you need the stain remover SHOUT, it will get out all make-up. I use it on all my reusable make-up cloths. Its magic! ❤

The Magda grey suit is gorgeous! Just wear the pants with a white tshirt

I loved this video and your thoughts mirrored my thoughts over the years. Have you gotten the stains out of your shirts? Try Oxi Clean in the wash.

Not you keeping mostly everything 🤣 lmao same

Lestoil is extremely good at removing lipstick and oil stains so I’m quite certain it will work on bronzer. It has a very strong smell so only use sparingly directly on the spot. Hope this helps.

Could you do a video of updated bag collection???

That microphone is hilarious 😂

I really need to treat myself to some new summer bits. Loving edm so far Lan 😍 Thanks Dejan for the edits

i love the video 😊

Those gray pants with your Isabel blouse and some silver shoes! 🤍🖤🤍

I need to go through my closet but I’m on a weight loss journey so feel I need to hold off for a bit ❤

Would be interesting to see if you could do a colour analysis.. to see which colours suit you best 😊

Remember the tailoring of the vintage blazers, they do look fab on you! Feel you girl, I'm a hoarder too! Btw only Allana does a spring clear out whilst looking fabulous 👌

Allana, I’m with you…the hoarding has got to STOP. I work from home and have had such a hard time parting with clothing that I never wear and will never wear. However, I’ve been slowly clearing out some of them and each time I feel proud of myself only to go back into my closet and it looks like I have gotten rid of nothing 😂😂😂. The jeans are hardest. I parted with so many but yet many remains 😂😂😂. Good thing is that as I get older I realize I don’t need or want as much so it’s just a slow process. ❤❤❤

The Virgo in me is dying to colour code your wardrobe 🫠

I always clear out my closet at the end of each season. Then it’s easier to remember if I wore the items I was giving “one more season” instead of thinking back to almost a year ago.

Very inspiring! Can you tell me where those earrings are from. They make the white T look cool!

Ooooh would LOVE to see a vid for what ten outfits you'd wear if you were a corporate gal!

Honestly for me, with pieces of clothing that I have collected but never wear, I will force myself to wear it once regardless of occasion or reason and then I truly know how I felt in the piece. We can feel good when we look at things on hangers and also while trying on, but I think it’s important with acknowledging how the piece makes you feel after a full day of wearing. It’ll either prove your point of decluttering or keeping. Hope this helps!

This was a last push for me to do my closet clearout and cleaning 😃 The problem is the video is shorter than the process of doing my own! 😂❤️ Thank you for these EDM vids!! ☺️

No judging here girl we'll all been there done that 🙌

What’s helped me a lot in cleaning out my closet is thinking “would someone else potentially like this more than me” - it helps me be more ruthless without feeling like I’m getting rid of things I like? ❤❤
