@@goldies6909 i know....her intro is long and it doesnt seem like she has organized the points she wants to make!

My mom does the same lol

GREAT IDEA!!!!

I do the same!!

This is what my mom does👍

That's very common in our culture 😂👌🏻

Don’t worry! I don’t either haha

Joy of life hehe

I don’t have one 😭

I don’t have one either 🥲

I literally have only one double pole rack and a few storage boxes to store my clothes

I've done the same thing. I love seeing everything all the time.

Definitely what I need... Need to see my clothes because I f forget what I have & then buy what I don't need...I have an extra room, I'll just make that back room into my closet.. Thanks for the idea 🌹

The idea is great, but we should remember that cheap fast fashion stores like H&M are not the place to buy things sustainably. They have very poor working conditions for the factory workers, and their clothes are low quality and won't endure many times of use, which leads to huge amounts of clothes being thrown away after just a few uses. Fast fashion is one of the biggest causes of global warming, natural resource abuse and pollution. I also must add, that most of H&M(and also other brands) clothing material contains elastane, which makes actual recycling impossible. So when you bring the clothes to the store, they basically just burn the clothes with elastane or trash them, it is not actual recycling. Take your money to sustainable, planet-friendly and conscious stores instead! Invest your money in high-quality pieces that can last for years. It will not only save the planet and make you appreciate your clothes more, it also saves money in the long run, when you don't need to buy new clothes to replace the worn out ones every ½ years!

Unfortunately, this service has been shut down because of the pandemic, I hope H&M resumes it someday.

Here is what I bet they do with those clothes. There are people called factors who buy used clothing by weight. I learned this being president of a womens shelter board all the socially conscioius well off wives donated clothes to us for our women residents and to help them get a job ....they desperately needed business wardrobes. We also accepted furniture donations so we could help them furnish apts etc. We eventually ran out of storage space so the director asked my permission to SELL these things the excess, to a factor who came to town periodically to buy by weight from Goodwill and the other charities. I gave my permission when I saw the incredible QUANTITY we had stored. We had some generous local women! These tings had become things that were in the way of the staff etc. So we had a periodic infusion of cash to our operating budget. We were bursting at the seams and never could use that quantity of stuff. Lots of charitable organizations have to do this this. It is little knwon becaus they dont want to discourage donations of ANY kind it would be insulting to supporters. Now I live in Guatemala as a retiree. These factors ship that stuff heremand of course other places ie sell it to wholesalers here by weight after shipping with the shippimg costs added into the price and a profit for the importers. These are in 100lb packs sealed. THIS is the distribution system for.used and alsomnew excess manufactured clothing from the USA. All of the used have been washed in big machines before exportation. Also, large dept stores will only discount items to maybe 50% off they typically DONT go. down to 80 or 90% off certainly not the better stores. Store chains would rather DONATE them and write off the retail value against profits. Yes...that is what they do. We get end of season items from LAST season here, tags are supposed to have been removed but people doing that often miss items. Sometime the hangtags are on with the full.price sooooo I buy my favorits brands HERE... of course no selection options as to color or size are available but I often go once a week....usually new packs are delivered every week just before the weekend. My saving grace is no one here knows American brands... they dont know that Ralph Lauren or Banana Republic is often a better quality garment than H& M or the named lines WalMart sells. I know. I skip the cheapies and fill my wardrobe with last years Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic etc etc etc. My size 10 or 12 is not popular here. Guatemalan women are most often short petite sizing 2s,4s, 6s mostly, a few are larger but the young women who buy most of the items are tiny sizes. They also want bright sparkly clothes...gee gaws, we are not talking undertated elegance. Bright colors really DO look best on them....browns and camels they particularly avoid those are core wardrobe colors for me. So is navy which theybavoid prefering black ehich is too.harsh for memso I get alot ofmoptions and canmbe picky. Thee items I like sit there, YAY. Of course there are professional.women doctors, lawyers, my dentist, etc millionaires and multi millionaire women here too ...the latter fly to Miami to shop. I know some of them. They wear some designer items but they also wear the brands I like for sportwear. They would not he seen DEAD in the mercado to shopmand of those womennfrom professionals up, it is not done ..their maids shop there. They send their maids OUT there to buy fresh veggies and fruits. it's a lively thriving place. It has grown in quality the years I have lived here. Sometimes they get nice new shoes and boots and even handbags...I have some gorgeous things even vintage store clearouts so I have a few real designer gems found there dresses jackets evening wear. Prices are ridiculously inexpensive. Blouses, slacks, skirts, tops go for $4.00 doesnt matter if it isTarget or Ralph Lauren or vintage designer. Blazers are usually $6 or 7. Dresses unless really special are under $10.00 they do get fewer dresses and fewer really gret quality dresses. These are rare finds. Shoes are $5.00 if new, $1.00 a pair if used. I dont buy used footwear. I have several pair of upscale designer loafers and driving loafers and sandals five or six pairs of quality heels and a couple pairmof evening shoes all good brands I dont bother with the cheap stuff there is just too much of it. That is mostly what I wear everyday. The sneakers though are all cheap knockoffs. I do find new Sperry boat shoes which I buy sometimesmfor vacations/cruises. I also find boots and cowboy boots made for women even Justins make it down here. I have three beautiful classic colored and design BRAHMIN bags I love...one is faux brown croc and the most originally expensive is a briefcase style black a classic both of these two bags are still being manufactured and another caramel colored one. All were in perfect condition. I have a smaller real alligator reconditioned relined 50s snap close top handbag from 1950s obviously from a vintage shop somewhere, how it got here I cannot imagine. No vintage Chanels or very collectible bags etc though. I have nice new leather and suede jackets very high quality. I can afford to be fussy about the ones I buy because we get LOADS of them. I have a sequin bomber jacket and a silk one I will wear this Fall since they are in style again they are only a few years old. Coats, blazers outer jacket styles if you buy classic ones recycle back in style. I have my favs. This is one thing about living here that is great fun. I never buy anything that LOOKS used even that reconditioned relined vintage alligator classic handbag was in mint condition. It just isnt worth buying anything scuffed or abused in any way. I have to control myself, there is TOO much available here and new things are always arriving at the Pacific port, mostly from the western coast of the USA. I am right now going through my seasonal wardrobe and regifting things I no longer want in bags to my favorite vendors...I dont resell them, they are gifts to the people who treat me so well. I am known to do this periodically and those hundred pound packs used to go for $100 pre Covid likely they doubled in price since then as shipping and truckingcosts etc have gone up here like everywhere The things they dont sell after a few weeks they resell to other vendors who service smaller and smaller towns higher and more and more remote in the mountains or lower altitudes where it get VERY HOT for cheaper and cheaper prices..This is the most well off town in the entire country it is a toursit town and week end getaway place for capitalanos with many boutique and upscale hotels and a few backpacker places for young international.tourists. I am not the only gringa who shops this way...it is a recreational hobby for some others who love clothes. I have taught several new women how to do this here ...introduced them to my favorite vendors etc.The only thing I still buy from the USA when I go there are my bras. I stock up then and often shoes....I am hard to fit in shoes. BALI bras and panties are made made in EL SALVADOR.close by and we get shipments. trucked into the mercado. Mostly I buy the panties they are new and unused of course. I prefer a different brand of bras that fit me better but they have lovely new bras sitting there in the mercado freshly manufactured but for whatever reason overruns etc sitting here now.

Erica Wehler - me too! I’m getting married in a few months and need to make room for my fiancé’s things. I live in an 1800s house so storage is limited...

Oh no! Haha! So glad my video was helpful!!

I still love everything! I’m such a sucker! So not honest with myself! 💖

You are so welcome!

2021+ now

It's amazing how they can make something feel new again!

Marina Jane is that just America?

Yes!!! And I totally understand it not staying white! Haha!

Yay! It's such a good feeling once it's all complete. It's the bad linked here in the color light taupe! www.liketoknow.it/ltk/6KZb8sUAvL6pzl6KHZPKwO

Oh I love that! Thanks for sharing!

How awesome is that, Christine - good going! :) Blessings, Shannon A.

@@SteveandShannonAnderson Thank you! Have a blessed day!

I keep my favorites or pieces that I think are beautiful! It's more decor in my room :) Using it as a seasonal capsule would be a good idea too!

If you want to know the answer as to why try you are keeping the clothes and don't know why then try self reflection. If that does not work try therapy. It may help you figure out why you won't get rid of your clothes and you wanting to keep it. Subconsciously there is something that you are not aware of as to why you are holding to the clothes.

This one! rstyle.me/cz-n/e3dfc99vue

Hi Kayla! I’ve never bought the Amazon hangers but I have bought the same hangers from HomeGoods/Ross. I broke a hanger once because I pulled on it to hard. But they’re pretty sturdy and definitely help stay organize.

@@gladysefron thanks I'll check it out!

Purchased these hangers when several ladies starting with Amanda & they have exceeded my expectations 🤩

I just wash them regularly and hang to dry! Have had them for years with no issues. They do get static so I usually rub them down with a fabric softener sheet if I need to.

Yes, I do that with old socks

It’s from Nordstrom but I can’t seem to find it anymore! It was originally from the brand LUSH and they changed to All in Favor if you want to try to hunt it down.

@@AmandaJohn doesn’t look like they carry it anymore. Thank you for your reply! Maybe I’ll find a similar one out there
