hello my friends it's nina and i am cleaning out my entire closet today
i've been meaning to do a little spring cleaning for the longest time
it's june now, i've been wanting to spring clean since march
now's the time!
for this video i wanna get rid of at least half of my wardrobe
just because this is an accumulation of everything i've had since high school
i need to move on with my life
i need to let knew clothes in
i just went online shopping and i got a lot of clothes
and i need room for that
that's what we're going to be doing today
my method is loosely based on the konmari method
but not really
because i don't have time to think about joy
for every single piece of clothing that i have
i just wanna get rid of things i don't wear anymore
but without further ado let's just get started
so i'm going to donate and sell clothes
i'm gonna sell the clothes that i think you guys would like
and then just donate everything else
i don't know where i'm going to sell the clothing
i've heard about poshmark so i think i'm just gonna use poshmark
but right next to me i have a large suitcase and two trash bags
i might need more trashbags later on
but i'm gonna put the clothes that i'm gonna donate in the trash bags
so i can give it to goodwill or any thrift store with ease
and then i'm gonna put the clothes that i'm probably gonna sell into a suitcase
just so i can move it around easily
i like that it has wheels
the pieces of clothing that i'm trying to get rid of
are clothes that i only wore in high school
or clothes that don't go with an outfit
or clothes that i just haven't worn in so long
my biggest dilemma with clothes
is that a lot of them are cute but i can't put them with an outfit
i'm trying to get rid of that
that's like half of my closet
i don't know where to start
marie kondo says you should take out all your clothing
and then sort through them
i might do that
but i don't really know what to do
so i think first off i'm gonna go to the sides that i don't touch ever
this is probably the area where i touch the most
i just realized what i said
i really wanna try to get rid of stuff that i just won't wear anymore
because my style has changed
you change a lot
even if you wore it a lot back then
that doesn't mean you still wear it now
like i thrifted this shirt
but i haven't worn it in a very long time
it's just not really my style anymore
so i think i'm gonna sell it
because i know that maybe one of you guys will like it
i'm gonna put this in my selling pile
and if i ever want it again i'll just take it out of suitcase
so we got one down
this shirt
i haven't worn this shirt in a long time either
and i'm trying to picture what it could go with
i think my style changed enough that i don't need this anymore
i haven't worn it in probably two years
you know what nina if you haven't worn it in that long, it's time to go
but i think one of you guys will like it as well
so i'm going to put it here as well
i think taking out your clothes might have helped a little bit
because it literally forces you to look through your clothes
instead of just kind of passively going through them
i think i'm going to do that for my dresser though
by the way we are going to go into my dresser
i haven't worn this jacket in a very long time
i don't think i've worn it once when i lived in this house
so i think i'm going to sell this as well
it's just now i wear sweaters or i wear hoodies that i bought recently
this is from my freshman year of high school i think
i think i'm gonna donate this one
just because it's really been through a lot
so i'm gonna put that into my trash bag
now this, this-
why do i keep doing that
this is a black hoodie with this plaid thing on top
i literally put it over it's two different pieces but i put it over
just to save room
i haven't worn this so i think this is going to go too
i'll put this one in the donating pile
but i think i will keep this because i know i might need a plain black hoodie
and already we have so many hangers
we have four
how do we only have four
this is taking longer than i thought
ok
oh my gosh
we have taken out this much clothes
now i have a lot more space for clothes that actually match my style
and now i'm going to hang all of these up here
look at how many hangers we have now
i'm proud of myself
these are all the hangers that used to hold clothing
now we have reduced it
to this much
now we are going to sort through the clothes that i have
before we get into my dresser
because if i go into my dresser
this is going to be one huge pile
and i'm never going to get through it
so i'm gonna fold these clothes right now
this is my donation pile so far
let's get started :)
i finally finished rolling up all the clothes
now that we're done with the closet we're going to move on to my dresser and
get rid of eVERYTHING
i'm so tired
here we are at my dresser
this dresser's from ikea
i used to have two but
now i have one because i didn't have room for two
i've been meaning to take care of my dresser for the longest time
as you can see i do that method where you fold the clothes and stack them together
i think that's part of the konmari method as well
the stacking method allows you to see each shirt
but over time i just accumulated so many shirts
that i actually began to stack them on top of each other like this
and i just can't see any shirt anymore at this point
so i'm going to get rid of as much as i can
there are just so many shirts that i don't wear anymore
so i'm literally just gonna get rid of it
like, i don't know what this is
so i'm going to make a pile of shirts right here
i have this skirt that i just had lying around
that i should put inside my dresser
but for now i'm just gonna lay my shirts here
my style has become pretty simple and basic
that i just like having shirts of 20 different colors
i like black white grey
some colors
and i also like a bunch of shirts as pajamas
i wore this shirt a lot in high school
but i think it's time for me to get rid of it
i don't know whether to sell this or donate it
i think i'm gonna sell it because i feel like you guys might like it as well
so i'm gonna throw it over there
i have two of the same shirt for some reason
but i don't wear either shirt
but it's also nice to have a striped shirt in your wardrobe
i'm gonna donate this
and then i'll keep this
i wear this graphic tee a lot
so i'm just gonna put it over here
good now we have cleared this entire section
we're going to go further
these are shirts that i rarely wear
because they're literally stuffed in the back
this is why i need to get rid of clothes because
i never access these
i have this striped shirt that i'm not gonna wear
put it in the donate pile
i have a long sleeve that should probably go into my closet now
now that i have a lot of space for anything
i'm gonna put this back in my closet
i don't even know what this shirt is
personally i don't wear this anymore
i think i will sell this
ok now we are finally going to stack my clothes back in
let's do this
so it stacks nicely
i'm gonna put my t-shirts in the front just because
it's summer, these are the shirts i'm gonna need the most
i'm gonna try to put the most used shirts near my hands
and then the least used shirts to the side
oh boy now i have way too much space
so this is the final result
i'm pretty proud of myself, i got rid of a lot
and i have room for more
and it just feels lighter on my soul
so now that we are done with the t-shirts
it's time to move on to the pants
my pants drawer is so full
it can't close properly unless i push my clothes down
so it is time to get rid of some pants
first off i'm gonna take everything out
i'm gonna divide them into piles
my denim pile right here
i'm gonna try to stack my pants this time too because
my pants have been stacking on top of each other horizontally
that prevented me from seeing my pants in an efficient way
so i'm going to try to stack these up
now that we've emptied out this drawer
it's time to put everything back in
i don't really know how i'm going to do this
i've been cleaning for so long
that doesn't work
how did she fold pants
i need to see marie kondo's way of folding pants
i'm gonna fold it the marie kondo way
because i want these pants to stack up
she says first things first to fold it vertically in half
and then fold it into thirds, we're going to do this
pls
omg it's a miracle
thank goodness, i'm gonna fold it like this for all my pants
wow marie kondo really saves your life huh
fold the pants in half
and fold it into thirds
oh this is so satisfying, ok
how do i go about doing this, like this maybe
then fold it in half
yes
now thirds
pls
eh kinda it's a really thick material
so i'm just gonna place it in the back right here
and i'm just going to fold all my clothes
these are my painting pants
as you can see
it's got some paint stains
first going to fold it in half
this is so much fun omg
then we're going to fold it into thirds
then it should be able to stand up on its own
yes, oh
oh that is so beautiful
and they all stack nicely
now it's time to pile them in
now sweatpants, i wear sweatpants all the time
i'm gonna put the sweatpants where i can access them the best
and then i'm gonna put my denim here
and fancy pants over here
and then maybe pajamas over there
pajamas and leggings and all that
this should work out, i hope
i like that this is forcing me to interact with my clothes once again
i'm gonna put in my leggings
that is so fun
there's really something satisfying about your clothes sitting
this is the best thing i've ever seen
i'm so entertained right now
now i folded all my leggings
i'm gonna put my leggings in right here
that's perfect
i might be able to fit everything oh this is great
now i'm folding my jeans
did you see that
this is a very spiritual experience
i feel healed
a lot of my clothes are in the laundry
so i gotta remember about those
and i think that is it for the pants drawer
it is looking amazing
everything is nicely stacked
i have room for another layer of clothing
i am satisfied
i have another bag of clothes to donate
i feel like i got a lot done
ok so these are the clothes that i'm going to sell
i think on poshmark
takes up a whole suitcase
and then i have three bags to donate here
and then one bag to donate here
so a total of four bags to donate
i got rid of a lot of clothes
the final thing i'm going to do is sort my clothes into sections
i want all my summer clothes out here
and then everything else in the back
i'm gonna put my winter clothes, business clothes, everything else in the back
that is what i'm going to do real quick just to complete everything
that was a lot of work
but i'm done!
these are all my go to clothing
i have a bunch of zipper jackets
a bunch of cardigans
i have my summery shirts
and then i have a lot of hangers for the future if i ever buy clothes
but that is it for this video
it is currently 5:30 pm
so it's not as late as i thought
i am very proud of myself
these are all the clothes that i wear all the time
i got rid of all the clothes that i don't wear
and i just feel a little bit lighter
so i hope this inspired you to spring clean your own room
or maybe now that it's summer, summer clean your room
i hope you enjoyed watching me suffer
i mean clean up
and i will see you in my next video
let's bring it in for a hug!
i'm a little sweaty but that's ok
goodbye my friends :)
