HUGE Closet Declutter | Going Minimalist 

Someone in need is going to love those clothes you decluttered. Well done!

Since I decluttered to a capsule wardrobe, it is so easy to get dressed. The pieces all work together giving me a large number of different outfits. Love it.

Hi Ali! I love decluttering as well! But if it sparks joy, keep it! Don’t deprive yourself. Minimalism means something different to everyone! I like how you pushed yourself to get rid of more because you knew you could do it and challenge yourself! Keep up the good work

Sometimes it’s hard to let go. But once you do, it’s out of sight out of mind, plus to donate it to people in need is amazing and awesome karma.❤

I have been putting off my winter declutter and you just gave me the motivation!!!

Minimalism is a long journey. I started back in 2019. I was the smallest kid so I got all my siblings, parents, grandparents and cousins handmedowns. My first declutter I had 734 items. I only were hoodies, sweats and my work uniform so I was pretty overwhelmed. I declutter once a season and for this fall I only have 64 items. Now I have MUCH too little and do not like the clothes I have. It’ll be slow and intentional from now on because I swore to only sew (except what I can’t make like sweaters etc) my clothing. Plus I don’t like any clothes on the market. I wish you well :)

I just found your channel and watch your other declutter videos today - so excited you're doing another deep declutter! I'm going to go through my closet again while watching! So inspiring. Keep it going! It's like an onion. I've been decluttering since 2017, and it's getting better and better. Keep it up!

Yay!!! I’m working towards minimalism with you and will be doing the same thing again!

Hi Ali, I just watched both your videos on decluttering clothes and think that you have done an amazing job. Clothing has been one of my biggest hurdles on my decluttering journey and I have done countless purges. These days I try not to bring in any new items, and if I do they are well thought out and replace at least one or more items. Currently, I am on the lookout for a grey cardigan which will replace 2 really old and shabby cardigans. I find I want to hold on to items so that I have choices and variety, but that makes it harder to find the things I love to wear. I have found Kim Bedene's videos really helpful. In one of them she outlines how you can work out how often you wear a particular category of item and therefor how many items you need in each category. Other videos help you to identify your preferences in style, colour, fabric etc.

Love this video!! You made it look so easy and inspired me to declutter again!

Great job! Very motivating!! I love to have extra room in my closet!

First of all, you have such a pretty smile :) and also this is such a great idea to try to get your closet down to like a certain number! Definitely going to try it

I LOVE this video!!! it was so satisfying to watch

Your videos are very motivating to me!

Great job!

Great job! I’m working on my dresser and closet Right Now! It’s hard but I know I’m gonna love the result.❤

Good afternoon Ali Marie. What can I say? These videos just keep getting better and better - motivating and inspiring. Superb production values and superlative content. Your cleaning and organizational skills are impeccable. Thanks so much for a tour of your cozy home 😁😁😍😍

You did great!

Way to go!

Really great cull, I'm proud of you, too.

I really like how you went back through the clothes you had left multiple times and got rid of way more that way. You should try the 10 item wardrobe for fun and just put your extra clothes in a box temporarily. Who knows, you might want to stick to it forever. Madison Gray has a lovely 10 item wardrobe. Only high quality pieces you love.

Amazing video! ❤

Good job!!

Very motivating! Thanks for sharing. 😊

Great video. 💗💗💗 Stick with black hangers. Or white. Donate the rest. Also, hang all of the clothes in the same direction.

I chose 3 main colors that can mix and match with 2 neutrals that go with them....based my decluttering on that when I had to get more brutal but now anything I take out goes together and looks put together..I admit it's tough cutting a fave just because it's the wrong color

Great job❤️🥰

You did great! Something you might want to try if you'd like to thin your clothes out some more over time is put your hangers on the rod backward. Then as you wear the clothes, turn the hanger the right way. It's so easy to keep track of what you're wearing or not wearing with this method.

You did so great

I think you should keep that puffer jacket for use in travel. If you lose it, you won’t care. San Francisco and San Diego were actually cold. So was Boston. 😮 I take well worn sleepers to wear in the hotel, then toss them before checking out. 😊

I find that what helps me let go of things is to ask myself to pick out things that I know I absolutely love and wouldn’t part with first , rather than starting with picking out things I don’t like, because really I like everything I own. I would also say that you probably don’t need 9 sweatshirts since there’s only 7 days in a week, but I mean I get it. And if you live in Florida, the sweaters are cute but you really only need a few especially if you have nicer jackets to cover you, our winter is really not worth all that money spent on winter clothes. Just some food for thought that has helped me in my decluttering :)

I'm trying to go towards minimalism too. This was super motivating! I like the idea of counting and having a goal like that. Typical closet declutters aren't as motivating anymore. I need more minimalist content!

Uniform hangers. One color.

you don't need to get rid off so much stuff, if you feel comfortable with this quality it's ok. also you can create a little pile with sentimenals like bike shorts from school or smth you think to keep

Really nice you are donating your items. I feel like so many content creators literally just want to flog their poshmark! I know it's not in the "true" spirit of minimalism, but please do keep socks if they are still usable. No one will want used socks, and they just contribute to landfill - especially as you'll probably just need to repurchase some at some point. I stored away 10 perfectly ok pairs last year, and left 10 pairs out to wear through. They've all got holes now so I brought out the stored pairs. Win-win.

Great work! Don't make it about a number though. Keep what you actually love and wear, and wear those items until they can no longer be worn. Otherwise, you may end up buying those items again. Its also the most sustainable solution for things you have already purchased. If you don't love items, of course, giving them to someone who needs them is also great.

That pile was not so bad...I have 205 TOPS, and that's after decluttering a year ago. Yes, I could get rid of more, but instead I just stopped buying. Whenever I'm bored with wearing my favorites I 'shop my closet' like it's a store, and find something no one has seen me in. if you live in a cold weather area, you really need two separate wardrobes for summer vs. winter. I use a set of five boxes that are in the top of my closet for 'off season'.

Another video I watched the clothes she kept she turned the hangers around to see what she wore at the end of the season and if she had not worn them she donated it.

Wow

omg are we on the same journey? I’ve been decluttering everything!

My problem is I love all my clothes it’s hard to pick, what if it’s my last day? It must be the perfect outfit to die in 😅 help

You are going to regret dropping all the hangers when you have to pick them up again.

Wow u lyk me I hate alot but I luv clothes

You think 142 is a lot?!? Girl I got 142 t-shirts alone 😭😭

Google job only 7 days in a week xx

Sorry for this comment but I think you should stop obsessing with the numbers and actually keep what you love but are unsure about, u can always go back to it later

I’ve always wondered when is the age you just decide to stop wearing crop tops lol does someone come give you a letter telling you it’s your time? 🤔 Obviously not just a funny thought, I wonder when my time will come

Girl, it doesn't matter if you're 21 or 31, crop tops can be classy and stylish if you know how to dress them appropriately! Don't let that deter you from having one or two.
