Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Today, I'm going to be tackling and doing an extreme
declutter of my clothes and my wardrobe, it's all got a little bit out of hand. As much
as I try to be tidy, every now and then I really like to take all my clothes out, look
at what I have, donate what I don't want, and sell what I'm not wearing anymore, and
just have a good clear out. We're also soon going to be moving house, so we're trying
to declutter every single room, and I feel like my clothes really, really need this.
So I hope this gives you some inspiration, and I hope you enjoy this video. If you're
new to my channel, I would love you to consider subscribing because we have a lot of cleaning
and decluttering to do, especially with our move coming up. But yes, without further ado,
let's get into this. Okay. So let's start out on a positive note
and that is, I want to show you, if you were to walk into my bedroom, you would probably
think it's quite a clean room. But the truth is, all the mess is hidden in these wardrobes
that we had built in. These are mine, and then Matt has a sliding wardrobe nearer to
our bed. But it's now looking like this. I have this random pile of clothes in the corner
where I have just been shoving big jumpers and things. And also, the drawers are looking
like such a mess. I normally have beautiful KonMari folding, but over the last few weeks,
I think we've just been so busy and it's just all been a bit of a rush.
So, although all of my children's wardrobes look quite clean, this is the state of mine.
And I'm also going to be doing something that I've been meaning to do for so long, I'm going
to be switching out the hangers as well. I have loads of different hangers, from loads
of different places, and I've always had that. But I actually, recently, saw someone on YouTube
that got all the same hangers, and I really do like the velvet hangers because it holds
your clothes better. So I'm going to get rid of all these hangers, I think I'm actually
going to give them to my children. And then I'm going to switch them out for these velvet
hangers that I ordered on Amazon, I think I've ordered two boxes of 50. I'm really hoping
that that is enough, it should be. But first off, I'm going to start off in this wardrobe,
which is all of my dresses. If you know my channel, you will know that
I love to wear dresses. I wear them the majority of the time, so I really do have a lot. So
I'm just going to get all of those out, look at which ones I want to keep, which ones I
want to get rid of. And while I'm doing this declutter, I thought I would show you that
I'm reading this book called Atomic Habits. When I say reading, I'm actually listening
to it as an audiobook. And I love to do that, I feel like when I clean and I'm also taking
in information, I feel like I'm having me time and I'm being productive, but I'm also
learning something. And this book so far, it's so good, it's all about how the very
small habits that we do every day, make up who we are and how successful you are, and
if you reach your goals or not. And it's really making me think about the habits that I do
day to day, and I really need to sort out my fitness habits and my healthy eating habits.
I'm so up and down with that. But anyway, going off on a tangent, you can
see, I am just getting all of the dresses out. Matt keeps some of his shoes in my wardrobe
as well, so I was just tiding them up. But anyway, I'm now going to go through each dress,
one by one, and consider whether I've worn it in the last six months, if I still love
it, or if I would rather donate it or sell it. I'm also going to put the old hanger to
one side and then use some of my new hangers. (singing)
Note to self, stop buying colorful dresses, and I do not need any more denim dresses either.
Oh my goodness, that took quite a long time, so I thought I would play that song for you
guys. But I'm so much happier with how it's turned out, there's more room. You may have
seen, I tried to put it in some kind of order. So I've got the long dresses on the right,
and then my casual dresses in the middle, and jeans on the left. And I think that switching
out all the hangers looks so much tidier, and it's going to mean that my dresses aren't
going to keep falling off the hangers like they used to.
Now I'm going to move on to my drawers, which are just horrendous, I'm actually embarrassed
to be showing you this, guys. But I'm just going to do it in the KonMari way, get everything
out, put it into a huge pile in the middle, and then sort through all of my clothes, one
by one. And then I'm going to fold them in the KonMari way of folding, which you'll see
in a minute, I'm just giving my drawers a wipe down because they were a little bit dusty.
But yeah, the KonMari way of folding, I think I've shown you guys before, but it's basically
making these little parcels, so that when you open your drawer, you can see everything
that you have. So I'll show you how
I do that.
(singing) So now I'm putting all of my clothes back
in my drawers, in their little KonMari parcels. Obviously, this doesn't look as perfect as
she does it, but it still means that when you open the drawer, you can see what you
have, and you can just easily take it out. So I've done the bottom drawer for all my
gym wear and lounge wear, and the middle drawer for all my t-shirts. Now I'm going to tackle
all of my hanging tops. So they're mostly jumpers, and shirts as well, and I pulled
out that pile that had just been adding up to the one side. So I'm just going to dump
everything on my bed. And then I also have these two baskets where
I keep accessories like handbags, scarves, and sunglasses, and I have not gone through
them for so long. So I'm also, quickly, going to do that, get rid of anything that I don't
want to keep. It's actually so easy to declutter when you know you're moving, because you can
also ask yourself, do I actually want to move with this? Do I want to pack this up, put
it into a removal van, take it with me? So I'm actually finding that that is making me
a little bit more brutal, because I probably would have held on to all of those handbags
that I've just put to one side. But now, I'm just going to go through all of the shirts.
And again, I'm putting the old hangars to one side because I am also going to be changing
them. And yeah, just again, see what I want to keep and what I'm ready to get rid of.
(singing) And finally, I'm going to organize that random
pile of clothes that had been shoved to one side of the wardrobe. It was mostly denim
shorts, leggings, t-shirts and jumpers. So I'm going to fold all of those up and then
find a home for each thing. But I can't actually believe how many rainbow jumpers, and rainbow
t-shirts I have, I've only just noticed from editing this. I also organized my top drawer
of underwear, socks and bras, and I'm using these little boxes that I got from Ikea. I
didn't show you organizing that, I thought you probably don't need to see my underwear
for that long. But I'm so much happier with how it's all looking. And that's it. I hope
you guys enjoyed this video, and thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you in
my next one. Bye guys.
