So this is one of the things
that I felt so strongly about.
Like for me, this is a very different kind of closet edit.
I am in midlife, right?
I, I mean, you know, I don't know
if I should be wearing sleeveless anymore, people,
but the fact is, there are a lot
of clothes in my closet that simply don't work just
because my taste has changed, my body has changed,
and I don't want demons in my closet.
I want things that are going to be bring joy to people.
Yeah. (audience cheers)
So if they don't work for me
that doesn't mean they can't work for somebody else.
And, just a little fact, that there's the 80/20 rule, right?
We wear 80% of our clothes 20% of the time
and we wear 20% of our clothes
80% of 80 of the time. 80% of the time.
Which means you've got a lot
of things in there you are not wearing.
So, you know, (audience cheers)
this is not just about me and this sale, right?
This is also about like, hey
the economy is a little wonky right now.
Don't think about pre loved or vintage
as something that you can't give as a gift.
If you have something with tags on it
or you wore something once
this is still, I buy vintage products for
people all the time. all the time! All the time.
From jewelry, to books, to clothing of, of course.
Yeah. All the time. It's cool.
And I think that one of the things that
I felt so strongly about is that this is also another way
for you guys to see how you can edit
your closet, right? Right.
So let me tell you how I determine.
This is my litmus test, what goes and what stays.
First thing, if it is not an absolute hell yes
then it's a no.
That's right.
Right? Okay.
Amen. Right? (audience cheers)
Super, super, super important. And look,
there are certain things that you may be iffy about
and I'm gonna tell you what I think you should do
in that case.
So let me show you this.
These are all my actual clothes.
This dress, when I went through like,
my Gypset Bohemian phase,
(laughing) this was fabulous. But I just,
this is not me anymore. Right.
It's not that I don't love this dress.
Look at this. This is all hand sewn.
This is all hand printed in India.
This is an incredible piece, but not for me.
But somebody else is going to wear this, and I mean
I put this on, and I'm like, oh I should be picking
my chin hairs and, I should be stomping grapes.
(laughing) (audience cheers)
That was an in, I'm hoping for an invite to Italy.
All right. This dress, I'm gonna, I'm gonna just
breeze by it because we're gonna get back to it,
but this dress is just too small.
Okay? This is like six years and 15 pounds ago.
Like that's just the truth.
And it's perfect. I wore this once.
So I want somebody else who is going to enjoy this
for whatever to have it. That looks like
a six-year-old little girl to me.
(audience cheers) It's a little girl, okay?
This dress, this is pretty funny.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
I was up at, well, I don't know, 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM
and I got influenced, and you went to a latex-
by Instagram You went to a latex party?
No, I got influenced by Instagram
that I should have patent leather leggings.
Now let me tell you something.
With a t-shirt and a blazer and a boot
this is gonna look great on the right person
On me (audience cheers)
my thighs rub together and I make noise when I walk.
Let's go back to the two items that I was talking about.
This is a great litmus test for you
when you are thinking about what to get rid of, right?
This could be a blank slate.
Now, when I wore this, I wore it as a cocktail dress.
I wore it with super high heels.
There's the picture you can see
Good for you! and I wore- right?
Right. So that was a long time ago and you can't see
in this picture, but I was just wearing it with high heels.
But you can take a piece like that and think about it.
If it's in your wardrobe and you're not wearing it,
think about the fact, could I modernize this
to make it more my taste now? If it still fits, right,
how do I make it more of who I am now, not who I was.
So I restyled this
for somebody else. (audience cheers)
Instead of cocktail, I thought let's
let's dumb it down. Not dumb it down.
Let's, like, casual it down.
So I put it with like (audience cheers)
a biker, a biker, Cool.
a biker jacket biker jacket
and biker boots. and some boot!
And you could wear that with red tights
and it would look dope. Yeah.
So that's like, that's just not me.
That's for somebody else. (audience cheers)
But it's cool, Right.
Same thing with this. Really any kind of jumpsuit.
This is, this doesn't fit me anymore either.
Like I love it, I love it.
But I wore it, as you can see
with my friend when we were twinning.
But I wore it with a big scarf and a puffer jacket
and a big hat and like, you know, some boots.
But there is another way to do this that I thought
if I was going to style it for a new person
with a different taste Right.
to modernize it, how would I do it?
I would dress it up.
Ooh. So I thought, what can we do?
Oh, that's cool. I put it with
a velvet coat, (audience cheers)
tons of jewelry, and leopard print heels.
This becomes a completely different piece.
So my advice to you is if it's not a hell yes,
then it should be a no.
But if it's a hell, huh, that means
that maybe you can think about modernizing it in a new way.
Yeah. That it be,
that you are bringing it new life for yourself.
So that seems very important. I love that
velvet coat by the way.
(audience cheers) (chimes tinkle)
