this is everything
no no my biggest regret this is japan
this is japan really uncomfortable and i
don't know why i put myself through that
in my 20s
[Music]
look how much room this method saves
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
oh hey are you here for the semi-annual
closet clearout party
oh you are welcome cheers uh
to decluttering and the changing of
seasons my drink of choice this time in
case you're wondering is iced coffee
the last time i did this was in the
spring summer
i cracked open a bottle of champagne a
la sex in the city and i had a great
time by myself i put on music i was
trying on clothes
and i had a lot of deep honest
realizations
about things that i had bought in the
past colors that just don't work for me
no matter
how badly i want them to because i see
other popular
fashion vloggers or celebrities wearing
so yeah i got rid of a lot last season
so this is more of a closet
changeover rather than like a clearer
where i get rid of things cleaning out
your closet helps you to
realize the things that you don't
actually wear and you shouldn't actually
keep purchasing so it is good to do
these clean outs
also i have gone through a lot of styles
through the years
everything from like skater girl to
dolly lolita
um you guys know a lot of you guys know
so
i have come to build a style that i
think
works really well for me and it's very
like long-lasting i would describe my
style now as
um sort of a minimal neutral classic
look i like to invest in a lot of
classic pieces that will last me for
years
i do like to sprinkle in trends here and
there because i do like to create
fashion content
but when i'm buying trendy items i like
to go for things that i know
i will wear for a couple seasons at
least and i choose colors that i know
will work well for me and i know that
will work well with
other items in my closet so that i can
get a lot of use out of them maybe we
are gonna change
my closet to fall winter so i'm gonna
put all of my spring summer clothes away
i like to do this because i like my
closet to be clear and concise to the
things that i need
this makes putting together outfits
really easy and just makes me mentally
more clear
[Music]
the first thing i do is take everything
out of my closet and put it on my bed
before i used to just take out the
pieces that i want to pack away or that
i wanted to donate
but i usually start off pretty good and
then i end up getting lazy and just like
uh
i might wear that i'll leave it in my
closet so this method
forces me to really think and just be
more honest with myself
i'm going to place them in sections onto
my bed here is
the sweater section yes and then i also
can't sleep until i get it all done so i
can't procrastinate and make this last
for days
it's a little bit messy it's a little
bit messy
okay you wanna help me the next step is
to separate everything
into four categories one is stuff that
goes back into my closet that i will be
wearing for the fall winter
two stuff that will be packed away for
spring and summer
three stuff that will be donated so that
i'm getting rid of
and for stuff that i'm not really sure
about but i want to hang on to
i have these cupboards at the top here i
like to take these pieces that i'm not
really sure about and store them in
there
and then i see if i reach for them at
all this coming year if i reach for them
once or twice then i know that i want to
keep them and i'll put them back in my
closet because sometimes when i'm doing
these clear outs
i'll just get on a roll and i'll be like
okay i haven't worn it get rid of it get
rid of it and then i'll want that type
of item again and i'll have to
repurchase it
and that just defeats the whole purpose
of this so
um having this sort of transitional
thinking about it area
um helps me for
this that i actually bought this year as
vets were just starting to come back on
trend and i got really excited and ahead
of myself and i was like
ooh it's pastely it's knit it's the best
vests are back i'm excited i want to
wear it when i wore
it it just doesn't uh do anything for me
yeah you see no
i don't know i feel like this does
remind me of days when my mom used to
dress me and i had curly hair
no no and then there is this long
cardigan
i didn't reach for it at all last year
but this season's fall winter is just
beginning so i think i'm gonna put it in
the transitional pile and see if i reach
for it at all in the next few months
but i did buy a similar cardigan this
year that also has buttons so it's able
to close
and it has a hood so it's just like a
new and improved version of this this
one i've had
since i lived in japan so for many many
many many years
so let's see i don't know i think it
might be time to part ways with this
dress too it's been in my think about it
pile for a while now
and i never reach for it so i think it
no longer serves me
all right we are now ready to fold the
clothes that i want to put back into my
closet
so i'm going to teach you some folding
hacks both to save space
and also just make everything look clean
and tidy
and clear so that you can see everything
we're gonna start off with
a thick crewneck sweater so first look
at your sweater
imagine the middle point and then fold
your sides into that middle point then
we will
fold this into three
and there you have it
[Music]
now for pants you want to lay them flat
fold the ankles
up to the waist and then fold the bottom
part up and the top part down
flip it over roll the sides and tuck
them into each other
this method works for all bottoms as you
can see here i'm doing it with leggings
or you could do it with shorts
it also works really well for tops it's
kind of the same sort of approach you
want to fold
the sides into the middle then divide it
into sections of three
and roll it up flip it over and tuck the
sides into each other and then here's a
great way to fold your sets together so
lay your bottoms on top of your top
again fold the ankles up to the waist
roll the bottom of the top
up in three sections flip it over and
tuck it into each other and that's it
it's so compact and you can see from the
front exactly which pajamas they are
and it really works for any length or
any material so i always had issues with
sweater dresses if you hang them they
get the marks in the shoulders from the
hangers because they're quite heavy so
the best way to do it is to fold it in
half
slide a hanger through the underarm area
with the dress laying on top of it
then just fold the arms and the length
of the dress through the hanger and then
there you have it you can place it back
in your closet nice and neatly
you know what else looks nice and neat
organizational time lapses
[Music]
look at that look how much room this
method saves
i just got rid of look
i got rid of a couple of spring summer
pajamas and my halloween pajamas and
that's it
[Music]
some items that i am donating are pants
that are either too small or the cutting
just doesn't work for my body shape
yeah i really love the colors of this
jacket but i just haven't worn it i
bought it a few years ago and i wore it
one time to shoot that dynamite video
um so that right there tells me that i
probably won't wear it and i would
rather
give it to someone who will this is
another one of those jackets
[Music]
my biggest regret
still has the tags on it still never
wear it it was actually in my pajama
drawer it's literally two shirts stuck
together i wore one time to film a video
because i wanted to test out the two
shirts
but i could have easily just made it
myself
i'm gonna save this for our kids i think
maybe it will be cool
one day maybe we can put both of our
kids in at one front part is like this
and then the back part is like those
shirts that you can find
in wong kok for like five dollars ten
dollars
all right we come to my other major
regret my drawer of regrets
my regrets that i made regret and then
made again and again and again
throughout my 20s and that is buying
cute lacy
very padded bra i have so many of these
because i lived in japan for three years
and they
are the best at making really cute lacy
frilly
all these pastel colors so i have so
many of these types of bras that i just
never wear they literally sit here i
wear
maybe three bra i have the one i have on
which is like a smooth t-shirt bra and
lavender i have one this black one that
i often wear from calvin klein bra
that's like my skin it must be in the
wash
this one this is my favorite it's like
eight years old it was beige before but
now it's like gray
it's literally falling apart at the
seams
but it's the comfiest bra and good bra
like when it's worn in it's like a
baseball or mitt or something it
forms to your body and you just can't
get rid of it it's the best
so this one's my favorite so those are
the three i wear and the rest just sit
here and
they're kind of just like show pieces
here this is this is what i mean about
japan this is japan
this is japan they are so freaking cute
can i just show you the size of the
padding inside of here
i don't know if you can tell it takes up
over half of the cup oh
taytay 2.0 okay
i think it's time i face reality and
just get rid of a bunch
of this i feel like if you have one of
these bras which literally
sucks the life out of you when you take
it off you probably have it attached to
some random piece of plastic
because those little things they have
like little tiny pieces of plastic that
just fly away soon as you open it and
they just magically disappear so
um this is disgusting
here's another one also this version
of the stick on bra and then i have the
magic dips
so these are all really important if
you're modeling so you never know what
kind of
um top or dress or outfit you're gonna
be wearing so i always have these packed
in my bag
another thing i did when i was in my 20s
is buy really cute
lacy um underwear that was always really
uncomfortable lacy stringy very sexy
but the whenever you get underwear like
this that has a hemline
right in the middle it literally gives
you camel toe
all day long you'll look cute but you
have camel toe
and you're really uncomfortable and i
don't know why i put myself through that
in my 20s and i don't know why these are
still here to remind me of that
period i'm gonna get rid of these okay
if you buy
really thick firm elastic bands they are
so uncomfortable and they don't look
good under any
pants pretty much this is literally what
i wear
stretchy breathable comfy
neutral color this is what i realized in
my 30s
all of my clothes i just like neutral
colors because it goes with everything
it's easy to match i don't need to think
that much it's not fussy
same with my underwear take this as some
advice if you're around 20 or you're in
your teens
and you want to purchase really cute
underwear buy a couple
don't go crazy um invest in these kind
of pieces
because this is what you're gonna keep
forever and wear forever now don't get
me wrong i do have
like a few sexy ones still that are
comfortable at the same time like this
little red number
and like some more i have some more over
here some like
i got the selection depending on what's
going on didn't show you everything
there's some secrets i'm keeping to
myself okay
and lastly i'm going to unpack all of my
winter clothes that i had packed away
under the bed in the air
tight bags obviously when they're packed
away you have less clutter but one of
the reasons i really love this
is because you don't look at these
pieces for a long time
and then you see them again and they
kind of feel like new you feel inspired
again
so i'm going to unpack these and put
them in my closet or if there's pieces
that
just don't serve me anymore i'm going to
donate those
one of the pieces that i am packing away
for spring summer that i wear
time and time again one of my most worn
items is this
wrap dress in the past two years
i've really gotten into investing in
wrap dresses because they just look so
classic they fit nicely they like tie
around your waist to cinch it but then
they flow out so it's not too tight
around your hip area
there's also a really nice neckline the
v-neck helps to
elongate your torso a little bit uh
which i need help for because
i have a i have a shorter torso it just
makes the neck in this area look really
nice and elongated and i really love
this
sage green color another item that i
haven't worn
that much but i keep for sentimental
reasons
is this dress because i wore it on the
night that tom proposed to me
so i just always keep this for every
spring summer i always keep it in my
closet
um polka dots polka dots are something
classic that i reach for every single
spring
summer i have some in jumpsuit form
dress form and a denim shirt form so
black navy blue and denim are all just
classic fabric and colors
and also denim dresses this is one that
i've had for a long time now maybe some
of you remember it from my
lookbook i shot in paris but i wear it
pretty much every year
and this is a new one i added to my
wardrobe this year i work for the
benefit campaign
and i just love the cutting of it and i
will definitely be wearing it again next
spring summer
i am also packing away my lighter
very distressed denim the denim that's
very
in right now not that not that you have
to be on trend you should always wear
what's most comfortable but
i personally the denim that i'm reaching
for mostly this season that just matches
with everything and kind of works
is either straight cut boot cut flare
baggy more loose fitting jeans and ones
that don't have too much
distressing in them so yeah these just
feel very spring summer to me
so i am gonna pack them away i'm also
gonna pack away most of my jean jackets
especially those in lighter color
[Music]
oh
[Music]
all right and this is what my closet
looks like after
all that and honestly i really
enjoy looking at it now makes me more
excited to get dressed every day and
create outfits i feel inspired again
i feel refreshed and i feel ready to
move on to the holiday stuff i'm now
that everything is cleaned up and put
away i can bring
the festive stuff out so this channel is
