No Buy Week #21: DECLUTTERING and REORGANIZING my Closet - an Ode to All the Clothes I Ever Bought

hi everyone and for week 21 of my no by year we're going to start the massive process of decluttering everything in my closet so if you've seen some of the videos on my channel so far you know that I've been saying that I have too many clothes I know I have more than I need but how many clothes do I have exactly well today you're going to start finding out and I say start because I think this is going to be a multi-series process because I will be doing the decluttering method where you take everything out of your closet and your drawers and put it out and I will try on everything that I own and it's probably going to take several days I don't think I'm going to fit it all in one single video but stay tuned and you'll find out how many videos this series will span so today's first step is to remove everything from my closet hopefully I'll get some b-roll of what my closet looked like before I do have a walk-in closet it's pretty much the size of another room small room and I have it very poorly organized right now so I'm going to decide in advance what's going to go we what type of clothing will go wear and put things back accordingly as I use them so that's the plan I'm going to put everything out try it all on make three piles of definitely keeping the May and the definitely decluttering and by decluttering I'm probably going to relist everything to declutter on merari the resale app that I tend to use and go from there and some of the maybe clothes might need altering or styling to decide if I'm going to end up keeping them at the end of the day it's a little bit strange if you think about it to get this behind the scenes look at a stranger's closet but if you enjoyed it please like the video subscribe if you want to I make wardrobe content as related to my no by year but the majority of my channel is General Noby content checking in how it's going and making outfits with what I have essentially so anyway this is the first step and what I would like to think is the final declutter in my life of things so it's starting with my wardrobe and my closet my dresser and then I'm going to go to the bathroom and make up and flat surfaces my nightstand the top of my dresser Etc my book collection uh hopefully by the end of this summer season I will have gone through all of my things and done a careful conscious declutter so that I never have to do a declutter again now that I've stopped the flow of things coming into my life through doing this no bye and intending to take it Forward after the year is up um I hope to also be conscious about what I have and what I keep and how I organize it so stop the cycle of things coming in appreciate what I have and get rid of the excess all right I can't put it off any longer let's head to the closet and get this process started all right here we are in my closet and you can see there's a lot of clutter a lot of clothes I'm going to get some shots of the shelves in this closet so you can see more in detail all the junk that's on here there's stuff that's not closed I've got some scrapbook stuff my jewelry and Etc so these are my dresses this is my hanging clothes basically Oops I did not put that shirt back on the hanger but I'll do that before I take it out some black concert shoes these are my purses a lot of these are going to hopefully go on a shelf in my bedroom some this is my spring capsule clothes actually on this shelf right here my shoes and you might have seen those hats hats some scrapbook stuff belts a bag I don't know what that is probably can go in the trash hooks at the front of the door that's my bag of empties products that I've used up um some more bags heels formal shoes those are my husband's uh another scrapbook my jewelry's in that box right there um workout clothes winter sweaters and possible clothes to declutter right here and my shelves right here so I have my concert black down here and some books down there I think this is going to become my shoe storage the shelf right here and I think this Shelf with my active Weare is going to become books and I would love for all these floor spaces to be clear actually hi camera Inception and additionally I also have this chest of drawers so I've already kind of started pulling out some of it that's some of the pajamas but I generally have shirts and like loungewear tops sweatshirts in there this is the bottoms loungewear pants sweatpants leggings uh pajamas I think my socks and swimsuits are in here and this is uh baby clothes because we have a baby that's still sleeping in here and this is the underwear drawer so I'm not even going to open that one I will not be trying on underwear and swimsuits or pajamas in this trying on everything in my wardrobe declutter session oh my goodness and I already have the floor pile of clothes this is just the stuff that I've been wearing and isn't dirty enough to go in the wash so I need a better system of where to put these clothes as well maybe one of the shelves in the closet can be designated for this okay so now that you've seen the full expanse of the clothes that I own let's start taking it all from here out into the clothing Corner let's see how many trips this takes me [Music] okay I think I'm going to tackle the hanging clothes next probably going to keep them on their hangers and drape them over the chair that I talk from so then they'll be easier to put back um although I guess I'm going to be trying them all on so I'll still have to take them off anyway but I'm just going to do that to keep it more organized it's a little bit of a scatterbrain process and this is actually my wedding dress that I still haven't gotten to wear yet so I'm actually not sure if this is going to continue to be stored right there or if it should be stored somewhere else but that's a decision to be made later I will not be trying this on though [Music] [Music] this is a box of mailing supplies that I keep for reselling so I will be using some of this when I declutter the clothes that I've decided not to keep [Music] [Music] it's the shirt that I'm saving for Christmas the first failure of my Novi this year let me know if you've seen that video already [Music] [Music] okay with that I think I've emptied everything in my closet all the clothes and the non- clothes so uh let me show you the empty closet and now that I've completely blocked off my dresser drawers we got to dump out those as well so wo all right so here we go no clothes on the racks nothing on the floor I'm going to take that hat out but those are my empty shelves empty floor empty everything couple of hangers and shoe racks the top here I think I don't want to put anything on there CU that's just going to make this space look cluttered uhoh had a rubber band and I'm taking everything out of here can I keep my bag of empties just cuz that's not that's where that's going to stay and my wedding dress I'm going to try to find another place for that I think okay let's go do the dressers dresser drawers okay now that I made an extreme mess of my bedroom we are going to go ahead and get this dresser cleaned out I'm going to move that music stand and basically get everything from here onto the [Music] floor and now we have an empty dresser you'll have to trust me uh this is baby clothes and the bottom drawer is now completely empty I can't open it though CU there's so much stuff in front of it and just to take you for a full pan of the damage here um your girl has a lot of clothes so now when I say I have too many clothes you know exactly what I'm talking about that's a scrapbook that I that I made by hand um those are my husband's shoes over there but these are my shoes I have a few more pairs downstairs that I will get for the try on um yeah closet cloes concert black pile pajamas swimmer underwear is buried under there somewhere hats belts um the stuff that was not closed that came out of my closet kind of sitting around over here and this is the the floor pile of clothes that I already had going on so I have a lot of work to do so needless to say I have a lot of work to do ahead of me everything is going to have to earn its place back in my closet or back in one of these drawers all right let me take a little break and I'll see you in a bit I am not looking forward to my husband's reaction when he sees what I've have done to our bedroom and probably going to have to get this tied up in a matter of a few days or he's going to not be very happy okay I'm back I think I've decided to start with an easy win I'm going to put away my pajamas first because I'm not going to try those on but I can designate a drawer for pajamas I think that's reasonable hopefully it's going to be pajamas and swimsuits so one half of the drawer will be like the frequently worn stuff because I wear pajamas every night and the other half will be like the rarely worn stuff because I actually don't wear swimsuits very often this was supposed to be the bin of things I'm going to declutter so let's get that out and usable pajamas are going to go in the bottom drawer here I have two pairs of summer pajamas my pajamas are all from jerf Avenue except for the pairs I have from print fresh but most of those are actually probably going to be resold second pair of summer pajam shorts and the shirt and then wintry or non-summer pajamas I have the long pants and long sleeve shirt version of those same fruit print and then I'm going to hang on to one pair of print fresh pajamas just these unicorn print cotton poplin so they're a good option if I want like a more full coverage pair and I think that's all the pajamas that I need so two pairs for each kind of season plus the extra cotton pair let me find the other print fresh pajamas that I own and put them in this bin of stuff to declutter so another long pair in hot pink this is a shorts pair in the blush pink leopard print I have another pair of the shorts short sleeve set in the horoscope print maybe I'll keep one pair of the shorts as well for now just in case because I already own them and I don't want to declutter too rashly and then I have these night shirts and I don't even know do I need to keep one or not for now I will hang on to one I have two of these I'm going to declutter one and keep one again I don't want to declutter rashly because I already own this stuff and using what you have is always going to be more sustainable than buying new things all right so that's all my pajamas I guess guess I have uh 1 2 3 4 five six seven options for pajamas in there now okay I guess the rest of this drawer would be swimsuits I might try to find a little box like this one that will go in the drawer and hold my swimwear all right that's a good fit now let's at least let's sort out the swimsuits so that I can start going through them I also found the tote bag that came with the print fresh pajamas I'm actually going to keep this but it doesn't need to be in one of my drawers all right where are you [Music] swimsuits okay I found the first swimsuit that I think I'm definitely decluttering I got this to wear as a maternity swimsuit actually but um it was still too short for me so it really rode up in the back I only wore it one time I wonder if it's weird to resell a swimsuit but I think I'm going to leave that up to the person who might buy it um it's clean um like I said I only wore it one time and then I washed it it's it doesn't have any stains or anything weird on it it's a maternity wear swimsuit so maybe somebody would like to get that for cheap um again I will leave that up to the person who might buy it no judgments coming from me the rest of my swimsuits I think I will have to try on to decide which ones are worth keeping so I'm going to make a little pile of those over here I don't think I'm going to post that footage though maybe if I make a patreon later you can get the swimsuit try on but not on this channel [Music] this is a swimsuit bag I'm not sure if I need to keep this and I don't think it needs to be in my drawers [Music] either update I found one more thing that needs to go in my pajama drawer it's this tank top it's just one of the cotton rib by skims I do have the shorts I just need to find those and then this will also go in the [Music] pajamas all right I know this is a really weird way to show it but these are my swimsuits and for somebody who like never goes swimming I have 1 2 3 four five 6 seven seven swimsuits plus two black bottoms I don't actually know if I have a top for those bottoms I just mix and match with what I have but yeah I I don't know I will have to try these on and evaluate in private and right about now it's looking like we've made absolutely no progress which we haven't made any progress over here but uh there's the pajama drawer so the pajamas all fit nicely here that sleep shirt may or may not be getting deed I'll wear it a few times and see and that is my swimsuit spot in a nice little box there so I'm going to go ahead and close this drawer oh maybe I'm not because there's stuff in the way that's awkward okay so at least there's that we're not even going to look at the top of the dresser CU that's an issue for another day another declutter should we do some socks and underwear next since that's the other category that I'm not going to try on let's do it [Music] all right now I know I have more pairs of underwear than I need but as long as they fit into my underwear box I'm not going to worry about it for now and I'm just going to go ahead and put that back in the drawer we'll actually do the top drawer of the left side now and that will be my new underwear drawer we'll see if I can fit my socks in there too underwear bras and socks that's the goal and then I want the rest of this to maybe be active wear all right I'm just going to go ahead and do the socks and tights and bras and other stuff and I will see you in the next clip okay so we're going to take a little break and do the Tryon for all the shoes that I own I've decided we need to get out of this space for a little bit and get some of this clutter back in the closet and the shoes are going to be fairly easy because I know I'm going to keep a lot of those and we're going to see how they fit on the shelves and maybe How many pairs I might need to get rid of in order to get them all to fit comfortably and how to organize those you know heels sneakers boots Etc so I'm going to go ahead and get this massive basket of shoes downstairs so that I could start trying those on so next time I see you I guess you'll be looking at my feet foot content incoming [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] oh [Music] okay so you've just seen all these shoes on my feet hopefully and I put away the ones downstairs that live down there so like the Crocs are my outdoor shoes for the back yard the birken stocks live down there one of them by the front door in case I need to go out and get the mail and then the other one in the laundry room where we keep our shoes that we wear on a more daily basis two pairs of sneakers so the vas and the New Balance ones cuz they kind of go with everything and my two pairs of athletic shoes are down there as well the no solo sandals are down there too my more kind of dressy sandals for work and those Crocs so was that 5 six seven birken Stocks by the door eight pairs of shoes that I left downstairs and you might be thinking that eight pairs of shoes would be enough for a normal person but you know what I'm not normal I have a shopping problem or I had a shopping problem and I guess I also never got rid of shoes so some of these are years old and because I have so many I can rotate them without them wearing out so it's good and bad I guess anyway so these are going to become the new shoe shelves I'm going to see how to best organize these by putting away the ones that I like the most first and seeing what kind of space we have so I'll show you the Shelf after I put them all away obviously the high boots aren't going to fit on any of these shelves they're just too tall so they're just going to live right here um I think the cowboy boots oh they actually do fit so it's just that one pair of boots that have to be out do they fit on the bottom no they've got to go maybe on this shelf right here so let's let's start with those these were a gift from my husband so when we were dating um it's like back in like 2018 so I am not going to get rid of these ever these Ugg boots are kind of my outdoor shoes for winter time so like they replace the Crocs when it's too cold to wear those uh sticking with the boots these black Chelsea boots from Doc Martin are kind of my winter snow boots so three pairs of boots will fit on that one shelf this is not looking too promising uh the bottom is probably the least accessible so I'm going to see if my heels can go in there I really love these boots these are like my first big girl nice shoe purchase they're gani I get compliments on these all the time these are anina Bing I got them secondhand off I think the real reel or something like that they're pre-s scratched so I don't have to worry about banging them up perks of secondhand shoes that were obviously also much much cheaper that way all right these gold sandals are like my reasonable heels for dresses and summertime more formal wear so I will be keeping those likewise with these silver ones they're like the other option I have so I might do the heels sideways so that I can fit four pairs in there that actually works quite well okay I like that a lot all right now sneakers I am very into sneakers and I have several pairs that match with my husband actually these two pairs we both have these are the year of the tiger and these are cobalt blue gazel I had these before they were cool okay I had them years ago before they were cool let's try those up here will they fit I think I might have to do sideways as well then I can get my onitas in there I have two yellow pairs I might have to move these boots to be sideways so that I can fit four pairs because it looks like every little bit of space is going to count and then I can fit my Converse high tops that might be as good as that's going to get okay now we have one more shelf up top these are my esper drills and I didn't know if I was going to keep these but when I tried them on they were surprisingly comfortable and I thought they looked really cute and classic so I don't think I should get rid rid of these hastily I'm going to put these up top all right these sneakers are going to go up top as well I wonder if I can fit more pairs on the top since these are going to be the smaller pairs let's try it out got to keep my cobalt blue burket stocks okay bringing it in to show you kind of the [Music] top okay I'm still one pair short of being able to fit them all I wonder if I put my heels and the Slimmer shoes together if they'll fit four across all right the answer is no not quite but I may have just managed to fit five pairs on the top shelf so this might be workable now what have I got left down here I have these pink heels which I've literally never worn out they're a little bit too big so the back just doesn't hold my feet I have these Citrus slides with the lemon heel I have these red heels that I've also literally never worn and I just got them because they were like $5 at a thrift store these are Kate Spade the other ones I also thrifted so I think they're going to have to go just because I've never worn them and I don't have space I could put them up top but I said I didn't want to put anything on the top shelves I guess I'm going to put them up there for now just to have a place to put them but they are on the chopping block so now this is what we're dealing with we have shoes up there that I don't want to have up there we have five pairs of shoes in this shelf and then four in each of the other shelves down there we've got the heel boots and the the heels cowboy boots Uggs Adidas and onitsuka and like my random nicer shoes and girly sneakers and then right here is my one pair of tall boots the Tony bianos okay all right I'm not mad at this so far maybe except for those shoes up top and then plus the eight shoes I have downstairs 6 7 28 29 pairs of shoes and guess what I also have five pairs of concert black shoes that are not on this shoe shelf so I might have no choice but to put the concert black shoes down here or down there or maybe even on one of these shelves actually that's maybe the next best idea is to get my concert black over here all right bye for now um I'm probably not done with this video yet but I will see you next back in the bedroom okay I changed my mind I'm going to put these three pairs of shoes in my decluttering bin and I'm just going to live with that for a little while seeing if I ever miss them over the summer and go from there but as you can see now that you've seen all the shoes that I own how ludicrous it is that I had some shoes on my wish list at any point during this year so those via slides and the black chunky sandals um obviously I just don't even need any more shoes in my life so unless I end up decluttering any more of my shoes I don't think I'm going to have the space to get anything new in all right we have another dresser update I have my bras and under underwear up here and there's still some space in the drawer and I prefer it that way so that I can kind of dig around and find what I want more easily without having to go through a jam-packed drawer so I'm going to leave that as it is and this drawer might just be dedicated entirely to socks tights to go under skirts I don't mean like leggings those will be active wear but um how does one declutter socks is now what I'm wondering cuz I have lots and lots of pairs of socks and I don't wear all of them but socks are the kind of garment that wear out relative frequently so do I need to get rid of the socks that I don't wear as much or should I hang on to them for when other pairs inevitably wear out this is the question I think the other thing that I'm going to do is put my coner black tights in there as well I used to have those in the closet by my black shoes here they are in this box I don't need that bag um but I have my concert black H hosery hoery in there um I might even keep them in this box for ease of for ease of access and then I guess the plan is to have maybe these two drawers for active wear like active Weare tops active Weare bottoms um we'll see we'll see how it shakes down and then perhaps use one of the two long shelves in my closet for the sweatshirts and sweatpants instead of having them jammed in here cuz they're kind of bulkier um I don't know I'll keep you posted see you in a [Music] bit okay update I've decided not to declutter the socks right now I'm just going to put them all in and see if they fit and if they don't fit then I'll see if I need to get rid of some but we will apply the container concept and just go until the space is [Music] full all right I might have found all the socks and tights and situation is not super great in there like the organization leaves a little bit to be desired with the long tights the winter socks and the summer socks um but we're going to deal with that later we just need to get all this stuff back into its right place and um see if it fits in the spaces that I've allocated for it okay so another small update is I have to go to work so um I'm playing a concert this afternoon hence the black shirt although to be honest I think I've sweat too much in it now after doing all that moving uh and I'm going to have to change so I'm going to go to my concert black pile back there and grab a new outfit for today's concert and maybe come back and tackle a little bit more of this later uh which means the light might get worse and it could be kind of dark uh sorry about that in advance okay bye for now okay so made it back from work I actually decided the shirt I had on was fine uh didn't care if it was sweaty anyway but uh look looking at all the stuff around me here I decided I need another easy win so I am going to do my try on of all my concert blacks because I think that's going to be another category with really low decluttering I'm going to take all of that stuff right here the black pile and there's a couple of pairs of shoes and go ahead and film my Tryon for just that category of my wardrobe okay so current mission is to try on all of my concer blacks so I have the outfit I've got on and then I'm going to change my pants one time and try on all my tops try on all my bottoms try on all my sweaters try on all my dresses and shoes and probably not necessarily in an orderly fashion so if this is enjoyable um feel free to subscribe and stick around I'm Alexa by the way nice to meet you I don't know if I'm going to talk through everything in this Tryon but the first outfit is jerf Avenue I have on the jff Avenue favorite pants the Breezy shirt in black and this is a belt that my parents got from my husband but it turned out to be too small for him so I wear it the shoes I wore for this were these heels some crocodile print heels from Macy's and as I change outfits I'm going to be putting my stuff away in the closet I kept the Breezy shirt on cuz I just added the Breezy pants just to show you these and then both of these need to go in the wash so Breezy pants Breezy shirt this is a set all right this is a pair of pants from the brand beta brand which are dress pant yoga pants so they're elastic waist very comfy and they're velvet this top is from Marcel I have a series of tops from Marcel they just have beautiful designs nice uh soft fabric too so I think I'm going to go ahead and go through all the tops that I have now with these pants and maybe I'll do it without talking so that we can make some progress here [Music] and this is the last of the tops by Marcel I forgot to mention that my shoes are Charlotte Olympia cat Flats I got them on Poshmark there little cats with a headband on okay now that I've got a comfy top on still I'm going to do the pants because the next few tops are ones that I'm less sure about that I wear less often so I want to get through the pants that I know I really like and get them put away and then we'll go on to the the B Team concert black that I might end up decluttering this is my second pair of dress pant yoga pants from BET brand and my flats are all birds they're just comfy I don't mind walking to the concert venue in these there are two pairs of shoes that I don't have to change out of to walk from the car to the concert the other pairs I take a separate pair of shoes to wear to walk in and I change into them at the venue this is the one skirt that I have it has some slits so I have to wear hose under it like long tights CU you can't have that on the classical stage but otherwise I really like it and it's going to stay it's from cost these are the pants that I've had the longest so I think I might have had these actually since either high school or definitely had in New Zealand um I like to fondly call these my Lord Voldemort pants because they're they're swishy like kind of like the robes that they wear and they're just an Easy Choice next are the silk Pants from fendy I got them secondhand for like $40 so I think the brand definitely played a part in my decision to buy them they're silk so they're kind of a little bit fussy and they're really cool like you have to wear them during summer because they're not warm um ah here's some ear plugs hearing protection for the win I have to see how they look on because I know they're like kind of slim at the bottom and I just don't know if I love the silhouette but they are very comfortable now I wanted to try this last top on while I still had the high-waisted pants because it's a little bit cropped and I wasn't sure about it now that I have it on and I've looked in my little mirror right here I think it actually does look pretty beautiful it's got quite an open neck some Ruffles on the sleeves and I guess I don't really see a reason to get rid of it I need to wear it and see if it's comfortable to actually do performances in I have before but I haven't worn this for a long long time uh this is a New Zealand secondhand find so for many years ago so this is going in the must wear pile you know I guess the top does still work with a mid-rise pair of pants it's not too too short so that's nice this is the other pair of pants from jerf Avenue they are a little bit too long so I've got them folded up at the bottom I actually don't mind the cuffed look and I might just keep them like that I could also get them altered get them tailored or do it myself while I have some suit pants on I'm going to go ahead and try the three Blazers and I'm going to put the mic down so I'm not going to talk l [Music] [Applause] next up is an outfit that's seriously beautiful but it needs serious alterations and it needs professional help like I can't do this myself I got this set from Imad Ado and it was a brand I think it's from Nigeria I found out about this brand when the blackowned businesses were more spotlighted and I discovered this and thought it would be perfect for concert black but I ordered a size too big because um you know I was following measurements but I really didn't want to have to return to Africa and I thought well I can get things made smaller but I can't make them bigger if they don't fit so the top as you can see is just way too big um I need that like seriously taken in but it has a beautiful shape and it hits at a nice length with a little scooped hem and then likewise the pants there's a lot of material they just need to be taken in a little bit like that and they kind of make a statement so they're obviously still a very wide leg pant but the material is very nice and it's kind of more of a fashion option so I probably need to make it a priority to get this outfit into a wearable State I realized I forgot to try on my hanging tops I did change into my other my Beta Brands easy to slip on and off and am going to do my hanging tops with these pants on so this is a Saison silk Cami and it still has the tags because I haven't worn it to perform yet I think the reason that I hadn't worn it yet was I thought the straps needed altering but I actually don't think they do so great it's ready to go I can take the tags off and wear it it'll be great for summer or under one of those Blazers these are the other shoes that I'm okay to walk to concert venues in because they're a very sturdy pair of loafers and they have a silver star on them again I will show you the details now back to the rest of my hanging tops of course I wear this one with a black tank underneath which I don't have right now this one and the last silk one are both from the brand [Music] [Applause] [Music] Saison these last three options were actually fast fashion so the first one was Zara the second one with the sheer sleeves with Sheen I'm ashamed to admit um and this one is Urban Outfitters so this was actually sent to me in error I ordered something else and this came and then the sheen one I've had for years like like I remember wearing both of those in New Zealand and again um before you know the information mistakes I I made mistakes um purchasing from Brands like that but now I know better and I don't continue to purchase them and I'm continuing to wear what I have so this one I've actually never wor still has the tags and it's actually backless so I don't think I can get away with this without a shirt underneath but it is in fact a mini dress so that's kind of an interesting silhouette with pants so I kind of like I like how it looks from the front I would have to wear a tank top to cover the back we finally reached a top that I don't really like my mom got this for me which again maybe means that I've been wearing it since high school and I feel like the sleeves are just awkward cuzz they're like a little beyond the elbow length it's got this knot and asymmetrical neck and it's like not really form fitting but it's not uh billowy and loose either like you can't really tuck it in it's just kind of drapes I know that I've kept it so long just because it's practical and easy to wear but this might be something that I declutter this is a sweater dress I would have to wear it with tights um but it's for winter and it's got shoulder pads it's not the most flattering like it's not exactly figure hugging but it's a comfy one piece option for winter and it's warm now these shoes are kind of my pride and joy for concert blackware they have silver balls on the heels so I wear these anytime I want to feel a little bit extra I'll bring them in for a close up I've had those for literally years and I never want them to wear out so I'm really careful with these this was a fabulous dress during maternity Seasons um obviously this is not the right bra I would have not a strap showing there but I can wear it normally and if I have a baby going on in there uh I just have a little cover up and I can throw this on to meet the elbow length minimum sleeves Rule and and covered shoulders now we're getting into dresses that I literally never wear so I have two black dresses and they just feel more formal but I haven't worn this in a long long time I haven't put it on my body and I like it a lot more than I thought I did so I think this is going to become one of my options for the more formal classical Masterwork shows I love how it's actually long enough for me as well and then I just have one last dress and some cardigan layers likewise another dress that I never wear but I also really like it I like the neckline and how it kind of goes down in the middle again not the right undergarment but obviously I would wear it correctly for a show and then to cover up I have this shrug and then three different Cardigans so let me rapid fire those [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] right now to put away all of that concert black and alleviate some of the mess in my room and I literally forgot to show you the most important accessory to my concert black which is My Viola I was actually going to take it out and show you with the final outfit but you know what I forgot and I've already changed back into cozy sweats and as you can probably tell from the lighting it's getting dark so I think I got to wrap this video up um this might have been enough footage for its own Tryon video so uh if this is the end of the video bye for now hello again everyone so I'm back in my corner although it's a far cry from my usual corner of composure and you know I'm in my casual home clothes I did try on all of my concert black and all of my shoes I think one or both of those components might be in this video well we'll have to wait and see until the end and I reorganized my drawers so I have my active wear in there already my socks and underwear and my pajamas and swimwear so those things have all been put away and my room is not looking as bad anymore there's still a lot of work to do as you can see I still have my kind of nicer clothes behind me I've got my sweaters my tops and tank tops summer clothes the hanging clothes so the next video is going to be where you're going to see me try on all this stuff over here and we're going to go from there so basically my order of events has been taking everything out of my closet and doing the easy wins for decluttering and reorganizing applying the container concept so deciding where I want things to go and letting the container decide how much of it I can keep right now and then the next step is going to be doing the harder evaluations of what I can cut down even more because part of the goal is to become more minimal in my wardrobe so that step is going to come after the initial organization of the easy Winds of decluttering the things that I really know I don't need and the container concept decluttering of having too much stuff to fit into a given space I've also moved some of the non-clothing items so the books went back on the Shelf in the closet where I want the books to go and the items that really don't need to be in the closet at all have been moved to their appropriate spaces so I had some games in there they're now in the games cupboard and some art supplies are now downstairs in the office just things like that so after I get through this the rest of this closet nightmare I might do a summer capsule video and see where we are with that with the goals of trying to combine work and home Weare have everything represented in a single capsule I think and I might do that by just wearing my clothes for a week and seeing what I gravitate towards what I choose first and using those choices to inform How I build my capsule we'll wait and see I'm going to have to decompress from all this a little bit before t in more clothing content possibly but definitely doing all this work and spending so much time with all my stuff has taught me some lessons about bringing more stuff into my life and then also the daunting task of responsible decluttering of the stuff that I'm going to let go of so I'm going to say goodbye to you here for this video it'll be interesting to see how long it ends up being I know I've filled up multiple memory cards and I haven't even tried on all the main clothes in my wardrobe yet so if you're still here leave me a comment so I know who watched the whole thing you might have to wait until the end of my wardrobe try on for the final organization reveal of my closet seeing as everything is still out here subscribe come back on Thursday or whenever that video gets uploaded to see the final results of my closet reveal with my new systems of organization we're going to have to tackle the flat surfaces next because I have so much stuff piled up on my dresser right there stuff piled on my nightstand stuff piled on my bathroom sink counter we're going to do the flat surfaces is next and I might take you along if that sounds interesting to you um leave me a like if it does so that I know that people want to see that okay I'm going to go now thank you so much for being here thank you so much for watching thank you for your support on this journey and I hope it was interesting to see a little bit of my closet all right see you in the next one bye for now [Music] [Applause] [Music] sh [Music]
