I got rid of 75% of my clothes and I'm so much happier ✨ 

Who is decluttering with me? 🙃

“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor - it's anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.”

Minimalism has reminded me that the purpose of clothes is just to cover my body. I used to travel with checked in luggage but now I can travel with just a carry on bag and I love it. Freedom from attachments and opinions.

I like that you touched on how it's not all about practicality. During my journey, I went through a period where I hardly spent on new clothing, and wore items from years ago. I loved the frugal and minimalist lifestyle that it promoted. However when I turned 30, I realized that my clothing styles did not fully reflect other things I value - personal expression, creativity, and aesthetics. So, I'm back to purchasing beautiful pieces albeit through an intentional lens. I don't think the past times were wasted, because it helped me to understand what I truly value and now spend my money in an intentional way.

So realistic. We need to stop buying so much; especially as a emotional attachment with distraction from what we actually need to address. As a Life Coach, I often encounter this issue with clients.

I love how conscious and self reflective you are about not living in excess. Definitely inspires me to do the same 💛

My closet currently doesn't reflect my style either. Crazy how hoarding onto things can make us feel so overwhelmed, yet we do it anyways lol. Really need to start decluttering my space!

Great reminder that it’s ok if it takes time. It meaning anything - decluttering, life, learning, growing

This video really resonated with me. Clothes is the one area where I struggle to be a minimalist. I tired a capsule wardrobe for one month and I didn’t really enjoy it. I’ve decided to stop feeling guilty about owning a lot of clothes. I wear them all and they fit in my space! Thanks for sharing!😊💞

Not just clothes, but I’ve been doing the same for mugs and kitchen ware too! This is a great motivation to clean out my closet!

I started decluttering a few months ago, taking out clothes and keeping a maybe pile, a for sale pile, and a donate pile. I've been looking through things in every room that I could reduce. My kitchen is already 80% clutter free. But going through my clothes was emotionally draining...I felt really overwhelmed. After months of going through them, I'm finally ready to let go of 80% of my clothes, shoes, cosmetics, jewellery. And yes, it is incredibly liberating and freeing.

*It's amazing how we have a closet full of clothes but only gravitate to a few items, it's like a mental uniform we unconsciously built for ourselves. Im still decluttering and building a wardrobe that I'm content with, im so happy for your new season in life. Ive been adsense from RU-vid lately will be catching up on your videos* 😊💕

I LOVE the little dogs in the video. I love when the short hair dog wags its tail while laying down..Super cute. Or hearing their nails on the wood floors. Love dogs period! I'm the same with my wardrobe... I have sooo much, very organized, but also find myself wearing the same things on my days off.

I’ve been decluttering my wardrobe and trying to have a small curated closet since 2014. I used to the girl who shopped fast fashion as a hobby & had closets (plural) stuffed with clothes. Now I have the least amount of clothing I think have ever had but I feel like I have way more to wear. Beautiful video as always Sophie 💕you make such meaningful content.

This video made me motovated to change my life! My wordrobe is making me exhausted every day and at the same time I was afraid to even begin the process of declutering. Now I now it's good for me and there's nothing to be afraid of. Clothes are just clothes

I absolutely adore decluttering! I have a hard time decluttering my closet but I have been selling a lot of books I didn't like instead. Seeing the new space in my room (and the money in my vinted wallet) make me really happy!

I can relate. I never had many clothes, but you actually have saved me when I had been thinking that I need more. Thank you so much and don't be guilty it's just a mistake that you made in the past. You can be greatful for realizing it. 🙏🥰💙

I appreciate that you talk about how clothes are more than just a need to cover our bodies-self-expression through clothing and my personal style makes me profoundly happy and I often see minimalism turning into essentialism and presenting that as the only real way to be minimalist

I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. I am starting a new life for myself and had been praying and meditation on how to get rid of my old clothes and detach from co-dependency. I threw out two small bags of cloths today now I'm ready for the big job. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this. I feel like I can take on my new business projects now and become successful in my finances and regain my independence.

I loved when you say dont feel guilty, life happens. That i'm keep telling myself every day because its so true! Thank you for the video it was inspiring to watch 😊

As I was watching this, I had to pause it…I had an overwhelming excitement to pare down my own wardrobe! I was able to declutter about 60% of my clothes! I have wanted to do this for years but couldn’t get myself to do it…feels so freeing! Thanks and God bless you!! By the way, I did finish watching your wonderful video after making my own capsule wardrobe 😉😌❤️

hi doggy, thankfully you live in paradise so light clothes are easy

I recently found your channel and let me tell you, it was so relaxing and in a way brought me relief seeing these videos of people going through something I'm struggling with and I absolutely felt 100% more motivated to finally tackle my closet! Tysm

Thank you for this. I'm starting to declutter as I'm going to be travelling and just need that freedom. I love your videos. They bring so much peace. Thank you xx

Your videos are so inspiring! Thank you so much for them. They‘re not just changing my outlook on life, but also help me finding my way after a breakup again

girl! you don't know how much your videos help me! God bless you❤

I watched all of your videos recently, and you truly not only inspired me, but also changed me. You are one of those healers God made to make someone's life a lot better. Thank you, Sophie. I owe you a lot 😊

your voice is so calming it actually made me emotional, beautiful message x

Your videos are always so peaceful! They definitely ground me! Thank you!

You are so inspirational. Your essence is powerful & so beautiful. You are enough just showing the world your presence. You've never carried the persona that needs to put on a show. I absolutely adore you.

Lol thank you for this. Currently struggling with the same things right now. Tags on clothes never worn; dealing with weight gain and loss; clothes that are too big or can’t fit into. Feeling guilty for all the money I have spent when I was less financially wise.

I’m glad you touched on how you fluctuate on your weight quite a lot. I feel like throughout the month I have to wear different sizes of the same clothing because of menstrual bloating/weight gain. Thank you for making me feel like I’m not the only one!

Thank you, I have done this over the last few years! Your channel is always a gentle reminder to go through things that you know longer need or serving you💕

Your voice is so soothing. I play your videos whenever I want to relax.

5:22 EXACTLY. I HATE getting rid of clothes and stuff for this reason only!! I'm so glad you said this because when I realized it was almost dumb to feel this way I started to be WAYY more productive

Love this, and love your slow and intentional approach. I started doing a version of P333 in February 2013 to wear all my items which was really helpful and eye-opening. Then we had kids in 2015 and 2017 and that threw my wardrobe needs into utter chaos, but I eventually embraced the seasonal change and am now working my way to 100 year-round items (I live in Missouri, where we have two longer extreme seasons and two short mild ones, so having a variety of coats, footwear, and clothing weights is important). In this season, that feels great; lots of variety, but a good signal-to-noise ratio.

p.s. i love clothes! Minimalism and FRUGALITY are 2 different things. Just because you're a minimalist doesn't mean you only need to own 3 clothing items. You can minimize useless relationships and own all the clothes you want to if you love those. Cheers!

Another poignant upload: THANK YOU! I've been slowly going through my possessions and mindfully letting go items that no longer brings me joy, or simply no longer fit the new lifestyle I've curated. You're so right in your statement that "things are just things". The elders in my family had a different way of raising this life provoking topic. Whenever they saw us kids being wasteful with our money buying things we truly didn't need only so we could say that we owned them, they'd always remind us that "at our funeral, the only thing inside our casket will be us". It took a few years for my mentality to actually absorb these words, but I am so grateful that I now understand their full meaning.

Just watching one video from you made me feel at peace and appreciate the things I have more, thank you!

I just started this journey again yesterday ,ur timing is just perfect thanks for ur beautiful soul i really love what u share ❤️🙏

Viewing clothes as collection pieces and not just disposable items really is eye opening. It makes me pause and put more thought into items I want to add to my collection. Thanks for that! Love your videos.

I love the concept of using a suitcase to store all of your items! I also love how your sweet doggy lay inside the case!! So cute!!

I love this approach. its very kind to yourself.

Love your videos ❤ They are so calming yet meaningful and I always find it relaxing to watch.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us❤. They have definitely inspired me to take a plunge into decluttering my wardrobe and give slip to the items I have not worn in 2-3 years but it was me who was attached to them and not the other way round😩. Thank you 🙏once again. Lovely video with such a lovely, soothing voice.

Thanks Sophie 🥰 Made me feel much better after thinking of buying new clothes. Now i feel much contented and looking forward to declutter this month 🙏

Wow what a RELIEVE NO GUILT but to LEARN OUR LESSONS It is a much MORE HEALTHY WAY to look at this.THANK U Sophie

Cluttering is a lifestyle. I love that and I’m finding that to be so true!

this is so relatable.. I feel like I'm letting go few things in my head when I decluttering.. love this video

Nice video and a lovely way to think about what's important in life. I will start decluttering too , I need to do it, to start from scratch, new beginnings... Leaving behind and letting go what stops us from growing and becoming a better version of ourselves. Thanks for sharing your thoughts , you are such a wonderful soul , sending you hugs 😊

thank you again sophie for reminding me that less is more. 💌 i will definitely reevaluate my closet once again

I love how you said your viewing your clothes as collectibles 🙏🙌🙌💕 that’s exactly what I’m working on ❤

Story of my life ... I did the very same thing after I started watching your videos . I love you and I thank you Sophie .

Thanks for this lovely video. I loved seeing your precious fur babies.

I have soooo many cloth hangers left. But it feels free,it feels good.Thank you Sophie.

I am decluttering my dearest Sophie 💗🌷for two mornings now and this is a video I really needed to inspire me and to ease the process psychologically!! Thank you so much 🥰🥰🌼🌼🌼🌼💗💗🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Love this thank you and also loved that you were talking straight to the camera

Wonderfully inspiring! Thank you for sharing and taking us along the journey with you. I think it is much more simple when you live in a climate that doesn’t fluctuate much. I live where all four seasons can present in a single week. But I do believe that a wardrobe can be just as minimal and simple as this. It takes an incredible amount of discipline and knowing what you like though. I am in a phase where I have definitely spent a lot of money and collected a lot of clutter with clothing, not really knowing what I like and what is practical for my life and where I live. I have so much storage in the garage of my heavy winter clothes… Every time I walk out there I realize just how much I have! I do have a couple of bins holding quarantine items or otherwise known as maybe items. I definitely like a slightly dressier style, but I think somethings are a little bit too much so. I don’t wear them but I wishfully wear them if that makes sense. So they almost seem like they get use. It’s very silly. Anyway, this is incredibly helpful and inspiring and I appreciate the time you took to film your process. I cannot wait to hear about the changes happening in the next couple of weeks!

You've inspired me... I've been meaning to declutter... again. Already live quite minimally but I find that spring is the perfect time for another cycle of release and rebirth Love the video as always Sophie! And always grateful when the dogs make an appearance 😍

Love your 2 fur babies. I've been decluttering my closets today...finally. Exhausting but so satisfying.

I recently cleaned out My closet too and made sure to let go of pieces that don't spark joy anymore or maybe don't fit me right anymore. I have a small closet to begin with but I get easily overwhelmed so I prefer it this way plus I am really cautious about where I spend my money and clothes is not a priority. this was a lovely video and I love your message behind this decluttering ✨️🌿

Thanks for your honesty

Thanks for sharing, this has really inspired me to go through all my clothes and be realistic about what I wear and what I really need 😊

I love that you are poshing some stuff too! I love shopping and selling on poshmark and love seeing second hand items find good homes! Thank you for sharing this!

Wow just one suitcase! This is really inspiring, and I need to hear this because my closet is sooo in the need of decluttering. Thank you for this video 💕

Love your aesthetic! Lovely video 💕

You're an inspiration. Can't wait to start decluttering my closet this weekend!

Girl you are glowing day by day 🥰🥰🥰

Congratulation to this great decluttering session! I can connect so much to it right now, since I moved into a new appartment with my boyfriend. We decluttered our kitchen for straight 12 hours, that was insane! It was crazy how many items we accumulated over the years. I set the goal to ask myself everytime I want to buy something, if I will really use it or if I can use something I already own instead.

I’m so glad I found this video 😭🥹 thank you 🙏🏼

Great video, so happy to see your process! thanks for sharing!!

this is soooo timely, I am organizing my closet now 💖

Ur voice is soo soothing 😍😍😍

Oh my word!!! 😩😩 Today I was on my wardrobe clearing out my clothes, because I'm on my minimalism journey and u were part of my inspiration. Wow I'm surprised this video came on the same day I was cleaning out my closet. Plus I like Mark Zuckerberg style of wearing the same color clothes so I'll clear up my mind. Step by step No rush

Finally finished decluttering while watching your vid!! I've got rid of 2 bags and a half full of clothes that im not using anymore. I felt so much better that i could now close my cabinet easily lol This is really helpful, and i feel like it is almost therapeutic to get rid of my old clothes. I've been struggling to clean my closet because of feeling lazy and procrastinating, so watching your video helped me to finally declutter. I love thiss!

This was really helpful Thank you! Your fur babies make me smile 🥰

I think what I love most in this video is the reminder not to feel guilty. My life has transformed in more ways than one the past year and a half and it slowly was minimizing and decluttering, mostly because I live in an insanely small studio in Santa Monica, CA. However, amongst that transformation I still was holding onto tendencies of…holding on and accumulating even if it looked a bit different or seemed to be beneficial but I continues to grow in my heart and mind and that has been leading me to go deeper and deeper into minimizing. I definitely am not a minimalist and have just technically started my journey. Going back to feeling guilty I have gotten rid of so much stuff that I have never used, or worn, and even in a lot of cases “just bought” so literally buying it, having it for a short amount of time and turning around and getting rid of it and that usually happens because I am trying to be more and more honest with my self but it literally feels a bit gut wrenching. I do definitely offer to give friends things first and foremost which brings me a lot of happiness with no guilt. I am trying to be a bit easier on my self too because I am an artist so I have a lot of art supplies which is pretty inevitable but secondly, my space is so small so I try not to beat my self up too much. My best friend has been on this journey for a long while and she has a family and the past week or so we have been FaceTiming and going through our stuff together and getting rid of things, it’s pretty amazing. I have done this without watching many videos at all but have subscribed to a few channels and I am super happy to have come across yours! Thank you, God Bless 🤍

I de cluttered my closet and kept about 30 percent of what I had. It feels so 😊 good, I even feel lighter and feel that I’m putting all of my wardrobe to good use because every single piece in my closet serves a purpose.

i love her style its so summery and i just love summer

I love how you brought up the point to take our time decluttering and building a more minimalistic wardrobe. “Maybe” piles definitely take the pressure off :) Also, yes to eliminating guilt! We are trying and that’s what matters! Excellent video, Sophie… another winner! 🌟

I am constantly decluttering, it's a never ending journey but a pleasant one 😊

wow,you have a great voice for calm storytelling!

Your pups are too cute! 🥰 One laying in your suitcase & one on the bed wagging his tail…happy pups!🐶🐶

I love the green dress with your woven like bag! That dress is just awesome!

I'm so glad I found your channel !!

Love your sweet energy and healing voice. Love from a growing RU-vidr 💕

I love your hair and I love your style ✨

Any philosophy doesn’t improve our lives, we do! Taking action improves our life.- Love that 😍 Also your voice is so relaxing, I feel more calm about decluttering just hearing you talk about it.

So inspiring!! And I am so excited for your next videos! I started my own yt channel a couple of weeks ago and your videos giving me the balance I need next to my busy life haha ❤

I decluttered again 2 weeks ago and it was sooo..exhausting. I left some in the maybe pile (inspired by you) :) levaing them there for 3-6 months and if i don't wear them i just donate or give it to my mom. I look through my closet every 3-4 months. My life is so much easier and different because of minimalism. Thank you for the inspiration! :)

Thanks for doing & sharing this! I think that it‘s time to let go of clothes that made me feel „safe“. It‘s ironic that these very items are slowly burdening me. I guess I should feel safer within me, so that I won’t be in need of guarding myself with clothes. Just enjoying what they do for me in a natural way :)

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

This is an amazing video thank you!

Wonderful video and insight as always, hope things are well with you! Sending hugs.

I love this channel . Thank you 💕

I don't have a capsule wardrobe but I would consider it a curated one. I did a series of declutters over the last year and now wear about 80% regularly, the rest is either season or event specific. I still have some items that could probably be moved along and I definitely have some gaps I want to fill, but pretty much the only time I have to think about my clothes now are when all my work clothes are in the laundry lol. It really is a great feeling to know you enjoy wearing everything in your closet. Plus I realized I truly love wearing dresses in our hot summers, so I can go find new items for next year I wouldn't otherwise have thought to get.

I like that “things r just things, Clothes are just clothes and we are the one attaching emotions in them”, everyday i watch ur vids, it makes me want to declutter more.

Hey Sophie your style looks good I love what I see great points you made thank you for this reminder.

I live in a dry hot climate and adjusting my wardrobe took time. I started by defining my style & life style. I love classic, bohemian & modern shapes. So these three things are my faves in that order. I have a casual lifestyle. I edited my closet, which meant taking out things I knew I didn’t wear or no longer fit. Then I organized what was left, I used matching hangers and hung about 2/3 of my items. I also can now manage those items better since I can see the bulk of them. I kept the maybes in the closet. I have since gradually moved out things (I just donated 4 tops, & 2 bags & 1 wallet). I have 8 pair of shoes 7 two handbags. Mostly only use one of those bags and I take really good care of it. I have the rest of my things in 3 drawers in my dresser. Undergarments, t-shirts, lounge sets, workout clothes & jeans. My method for adding into the closet is I only replace it if it’s an item I really wear. I do mostly buy basic colors (it’s just what I like) and I coordinate those items better like this. I will also only purchase better quality items when I replace an item. Brands I love-Universal Standard, Chico’s, Gap, H & M (Conscious Line). I will find other brands that suit my size and age range and life style. Shoes Franco Sarto, Converse, Thursdays Boots, Office of Angela Scott. Bags-Coach, Kate Spade & Etsy. Your closet looks great and I love that you have things where you can see them. This is always going to be an ongoing process but it’s actually really fun learning how to add to or replace with the perfect items. You end up with things you really love. 💕

Love your videos so much! I'm doing this exact thing right now. So glad to know I'm not the only one
