Finally, a relatable closet clean out! Thank you for sharing your reasoning for keeping/donating pieces, and for acknowledging that your wardrobe isn’t perfect & will change with time! 💗 I love your real-life content, and you’re easily one of my favorite content creators. Sending you love this Monday morning!

@stephanieauker1106 Год назад

I'm with you on the dress front. Whenever I want to feel pulled together, it's a dress and earrings for me. I feel stylish, pretty and kind of powerful.

@margaretmatheny Год назад

Yes!! Absolutely agree!!

@lparmeter Год назад

Spaghetti strap dresses can be cute with a plain or simple graphic tee over the top, and knotted at the bottom right over or to the side of the baby bump. That way, no strapless bra is needed!

@margaretmatheny Год назад

Ah, so brilliant! Thanks for sharing, I will definitely be trying!

@CavegirlMelanieHobby Год назад

I'm currently pregnant (high risk) going to 1000 different doctors and EVERY penny is going toward that, so don't apologize about strapping in with the budget! I get it! Your style is super cute, and every piece looked lovely. I'm about to go through all my pregnancy capsule, and start thinking about postpartum, too. Congrats on the baby! Praying for all the rich blessings available to you for the family and your little one ❤😊

@erym4392 Год назад

LOVE the detailed explanations … I just love the chat during closet clean outs…felt like hanging with a friend!

@kowtherburhan Год назад

I agree ❤

@annievautour9069 Год назад

I think the easiest thing to wear during pregnancy would be dresses!! I love dresses so much

@HerCupOfSIMPLE Год назад

I agree! You also get to keep wearing them the pregnancy!✨️

@Jessinblackandwhite Год назад

For itchy sweaters, Everlane makes thin ribbed tops. I wear the long sleeve crewneck style under itchy sweaters. They don’t add any bulk. This declutter was helpful to watch!

@Ma-Says Год назад

Yay! I love this video! By the time you got to your second round I was in my closet with my phone decluttering my closet with you. It felt like a friend was chatting with me while we went through our closets! I’ve been heavier these past few years than I have ever been except when I was 9 months pregnant. What I realized recently was that my body was doing something instinctively to protect me from a season of chronic stress. It’s like it’s protecting me while my mind and emotions are in survival mode. That shift in my mindset has helped me thank my body instead of berating myself for being so heavy. That said, I pulled all the items that don’t feel good or look nice and now I can enjoy getting dressed every morning and see what I need to fill my wardrobe out. Also, yes a thousand times to dresses and flowy skirts!!!❤

@jaclynwilson7978 Год назад

This is what I needed to see today. Trying to clean out my closet and going through life/body changes myself. Love your closet declutters, and they are such an encouragement!

@ShoshanahDeborah Год назад

This blessed me so much! I’m currently 37 weeks pregnant and just ~*itching*~ to clean out my closet! It’s a mix of maternity and pregnancy and possible postpartum. Thanks for giving me hope that I’ll be doing this in a matter of weeks! 🤗😁👍

@eightyninetreasure Год назад

I’m also 37 weeks pregnant and fit just a few pieces in my wardrobe (unintentional capsule)😝. I’ll definitely have to go back into my storage totes postpartum to see what fits, how I’ve changed, style and ALL.

@rmm4123 Год назад

Actually just looking at the neutral colors calms me. I actually just read in a book (The Whole and Healthy Family by Jodi Mockabee) that neutral simple clothing is so much more visually calming and less stimulating than colorful patterned clothing. Not that there is anything wrong with that! But looking at your wardrobe gives me that feeling. 🥰

@samanthanieto473 Год назад

But that Amazon set you have though… I feel deep in my soul I need it. Lol. I have been seasonally decluttering my closet for 2 years now. It’s still not where I want it to be, but it’s going in the right direction. Simple living is a habit, not a destination. Ps. Found you from 30 days of dresses, did the challenge, it changed my whole vibe on my body and life. And now I eagerly watch all of your videos. You seriously rock. I’m a better person bc of your content. ❤❤❤

@margaretmatheny Год назад

Ah, so so touched reading this!! Well done, it is definitely a lifestyle-not a destination. So well said. Thanks for hanging around and for these encouraging words!

@ourjourneytoeden Год назад

I only watch a few youtubers and love coming back to this channel every week. Thank you for what you create. x

@kowtherburhan Год назад

Love watching and making declutter videos! You and Madi Gray are my biggest inspiration ❤

@brandyclark6641 Год назад

I love your content always!! I like especially how real you are about the process of decluttering and talking through whether it’s a keep or a go and why. It is so helpful. Thank you! Can’t wait for the next video😀

@McKenzieIdeality 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I loved this video! I loved how you documented your thought process when going through each item and talked about the very real struggle of clothes when your body changes with pregnancy and post partum. I feel like I have 3 wardrobes and I want to get rid of that as much as I can!

@bhavyajaitly Год назад

In all honesty, this couldn't have come at a better time! I've been looking to downsize my closet and you've given me the motivation to get a head start. Thank you so much! As always love your videos ❤.

@hannahcaison Год назад

Margaret, you beautiful human being! thank you for being so real. I really enjoy your decluttering videos and how you show your thought process through the whole thing, and how you even call yourself out when you think you're being ridiculous. Thank you for always lifting my spirits! Sending so much love! ❤

@ingrid2134 Год назад

Finally another closet declutter! Loved it, and how realistic and relatable it was ❤

@homemaker0506 Год назад

The cropped white one, you could put under the spaghetti strap dresses or layer over the dresses. I wear dresses 24/7 365. So layering is huge fore me.

@Plantje1999 Год назад

Thankyou for sharing! Always interesting to hear why people keep certain items or why not.

@cinthiaham1517 Год назад

For the Missouri weather, keep your dresses, get merino wool under layers/base layers! Easy pezu girl. I’m in Ks/Mo so I totally get the cold, but the layers have worked for me!

@AshleyRJones8 Год назад

I wear dresses year round too! Tights/leggings and base layers on your torso make a huge difference!

@Corgi.thang..22 Год назад

Hi Margaret! I was secretly hoping for this video!😄 I've been struggling looking half way decent during my last pregnancies!😆 Loved the green dress!😲💕

@daizeemeii2653 Год назад

OMG! You're sooo cute 😍 I know this is a closet clean out video, but I can't help but adore how cute, carefree and true you are. I love your vibe. Second video of yours I watched and am pretty sure I'm gonna binge the rest cos I totally love your vibe

@findingstillness Год назад

I LOVE decluttering clothes. I even do my mom and sister’s closets 😂 thanks for another motivating video ❤

@AshleyRJones8 Год назад

Im so glad you are still wearing dresses too! I love wearing them so much more than separates. I'm just entering my 2nd trimester of my first pregnancy and I'm having to do a similar eval of my closet...😊

@jonipresson Год назад

My favorite strapless bra is the “multiway” from victoria secret. Its great for minimalist because the straps come off easily so you can wear it as a regular bra as well. Very comfortable with and without the straps!

@meganfigg7933 Год назад

For the spaghetti strap dresses, I have found that a spaghetti strap nude (for your skin) bralette has been amazing. I don’t care if people see the straps but you may! I can’t do strapless either.

@flamingofan5411 Год назад

I actually wear a bralette in a color like grey, or blue or black. Sometimes even a softer pink. That way it looks intentional. The straps are a little wider so it looks more like a tank or sports bra.

@ninsartcabinet Год назад

I’m with you. I love my jeans to be comfy. I’m 5’ and have a lot of luck with American Eagle jeans. I buy the short for casual looks. For boots/heels I get regular and have them hemmed. You could probably get away with a regular length. Time and Tru from Walmart are good too. Great video as always 💕

@katie3700 Год назад

Ah...my favorite...you and the decluttering!

@leastidyworld4365 8 месяцев назад

Good job. I love how you know what you want and what’s right for you. I wish I was more minimal but I have attachments to all my stuff and it’s very hard to let go. I do it little but little but sadly I still shop a lot, too (working on it).

I don’t do strapless bras either, but I do wear something over any spaghetti “sleeve” items I have!

@Oh-yes-she-can Год назад

I totally get how you feel when you talked about certain clothes embracing your youth. I am 28 also pregnant with baby #3 and I am not sure how my body will change this time. I hope my most comfy clothes stay fitting comfy after baby is here lol 😆

@99kamaro99 11 месяцев назад

Love this

@melissasheridan5660 Год назад

Love this. I am all about neutrals. I also have multiple items in the same exact beige or white shade. It's the best color lol. When you count you don't include shoes or bags right? Just curious. I try to stay around 50 pieces too, but have more like 100 total and half is boxed up because it's not in season. But that's usually counting shoes and some bags. And girl you gotta get some velvet hangers! So much nicer for your shirts so they don't get that annoying hanger poof on the sleeve. Pretty cheap sets are at home goods or Costco!

@sarahaustin7932 Год назад

I'm saying this from personal experience, I would hesitate getting rid of pieces that you don't think you're going to fit into after your pregnancy. I did that after my daughter was born and sure enough, I got back to my pre-pregnancy size and regretted getting rid of some clothes.

@KyleeMaedje Год назад

My husband told me to please expand my horizon 😅 most my clothes are black, white, grey, and a touch of maroon. I am waiting to lose the baby weight before buying anything new. I struggle spending money on myself but can jump on spending money on kids in a heartbeat lol (mama of 4)

@anniew6085 Год назад

This is so great, thank you!! P.s where is that jumper from please?

@valerie718 Год назад

Fantastic video! Very helpful. I didn’t see any shorts. Do you not wear them and why if I may ask?

@raquel5401 11 месяцев назад

on the spaghetti strap dresses, I stopped wearing them because I hate strapless bras and won't buy them anymore. However, I have one strappy dress that I love, and have had for years, so what I finally did was buy a long line sports bra so it looks like a tank, and I wear that under the dress.

@victoriacharlotte6808 Год назад

great video! I am the same with collecting so many similar jumpers/tops in the same colour, different tone/shade. BUT I disagree when you say the two brown ones are the same. One looked like cashmere, and one was giving college vibes. I also really think the cashmere looking beige jumper suits your skin colour

@maryssaann Год назад

I gave up on a lot of “wardrobe essentials” I would see when doing research for my own capsule wardrobe. I like having options, but it comes mostly in jeans and tshirt styles. We just don’t have many fancy events or places to go to and our family gatherings never require anything special. I live in tshirts (long and short sleeve, thank you MO as a fellow native!), sweatshirts, cardigans, and jeans or shorts. I don’t even own a pair of heels anymore. Four kids with one being a six month old is all I have to say for lack of variety 😂

@jgerrets7862 Год назад

Hi , love your video's ❤

@mf3610 Год назад

I use nippies by Bristol 6 instead of strapless bras and it’s so comfy and easy. Granted it would likely be best for A and B cups Also if you are just worried about sizing post-baby why don’t you put those things away in a box for a season and check in after baby!

@louisetilbury3443 Год назад

Thank you. Good to see someone else have the same internal arguments a I do. 😂

@caseyrichter1572 Год назад

For future reference, The Everlane Way High jeans are 👌🏻 they have more of a wide leg but hug the booty just right and have stretch

@LightsHannahAction 6 месяцев назад

You could bring the comfortable jeans to the tailor and just get them a little more fitted around the legs. 😇

@HaloReachMaster11 Год назад

The only trend I follow is Pantones color of the year. I will usually purchase something in that color just to feel up to date. Funny, the purplish dress your parents bought you is close to Pantones color for 2023. Digital Lavender.

@tawneeappleby2786 Год назад

I love how you don’t keep things that don’t fit or don’t make you feel pretty I need to do that. You mentioned breastfeeding I was curious what your opinion on extended breastfeeding is? I love hearing your point of view. I feel like it’s always backed by so much research ☺️

@FunnySpruce Год назад

I got rid of some of my favorite dresses, thinking that I would not fit into it again. Now, I am wishing that I had not given into my hormones, as they were such good quality dresses. Now, I know I could have fit in them.

❤❤❤ You are about to have a baby!! Praise God! These are my favorite videos! I want to use your Amazon link to purchase the outfit in same color. Can you tell me the color and size you are wearing please? I was going to choose Large only because my waist is comfortable in 28" waist bands. I am right now about 27 1/2" waist. Do not like tight elastic on stomach. Never ordered anything a large usually Amazon mediums because Chinese sizes. Hope to hear from you soon. I am ready to hit the button! 🎉🎉🎉 You are having a baby!!! Blessings from NC

@shellieirwin4561 Год назад

Skip the strapless bras and where a sports bra under the strappy dresses instead

@therecianmcpherson1298 Год назад

Margaret your so pretty by the way if you were to take a plain strapless dress and style it with layers of jewelry weither gold or silver depending on the color of the clothing and wear a nice simple shirt underneath but no writing

@heidilucas5222 Год назад

Out of interest do you factor in the material your clothing is made out of when you decide what to keep? I’ve been trying to convert to a natural materials wardrobe for a while but sometimes it’s so hard to find certain pieces that are made with just cotton/wool/silk etc…

@FFlores79 Год назад

I feel you so much on the strapless bra...or any bra with an underwire and pushup. Can i wear nursing bras without a wire forever 😂😂😂?

@ashleymatney6078 Год назад

I feel the same as you! I had a cyst that ruptured right near my bra line. I was desperate to find a bra that didn’t hurt me or make me uncomfortable. My friend told me about those shapermint brand bras (I got the true kind daily wear ones) and oh my word, I bought two to try and then went and got me two more. Most comfortable I’ve ever owned. Didn’t know if you knew about them and just wanted to share, friend! I think I paid like 40ish for a two pack so not too bad. Have a nice day!

How many times will you highlight being a mother in a declutter video? Very interesting indeed. You are dominated by the identity of “motherhood”, and you are spreading this with your words. Moreover, glorifying motherhood is no more than an extra burden placed on mothers. Please read and research a bit.
