Hello my friends, it's Nina and welcome back to my closet
today I'm going to clean out my entire closets
I always choose the warmest time of the year to do this.
It is so hot outside, but that's okay
I actually filmed a video of me cleaning out my closet last year
It was literally around this time last year
in June / July. So happy anniversary
I still haven't sold the clothes that I meant to sell
one day I will get those up on my depop
If you are interested in any of the clothes I want to sell in the future
you can follow me on depop
I don't know when i'll actually do it
But hopefully sometime this year
because I actually really do want to sell my clothes this year
But anyway a year passed, my style has definitely changed a lot
I want to go full konmari method
Get all my clothes out
sort through them, take out things that I don't need
take out things that don't spike joy
I really want to try harder this time.
So without further ado I'm going to empty out my closet
Ah, okay
I'm going to do it
The reason why I'm cleaning out my clothes is because
I'm actually kind of worried about my closet
My closet is much smaller than the last closet in the last video
I already had to downsize a lot, like half of my wardrobe was already gone
But for some reason I feel like this little rack is going to break
on the sides the paint is starting to peel
I feel like it's slowly moving down
There's a little hook here that also holds the rack and it's kind of bending downwards I think
and also there's a little crack in the wood.
I don't know if it was already there, but that also worries me
I feel like this time I could definitely do a better job
I'm of course thankful for all the clothes that I have
but as I got older I bought my own clothes
found my own style and I just kind of need to let go of my old clothes
a lot of my clothes are from high school, college, it needs to go
I'm going to empty out my closet, put everything on my bed
I'm going to sort thru clothes over there
and then down here I have a suitcase
luckily I'm not traveling because of obvious reasons
so I have a big suitcase
I'm going to fill that up with clothes that I want to sell
So there's a lot going on but we have all day to do this.
I guess we'll start
I generally just want to get rid of clothes I don't wear anymore
things that I haven't worn in months, maybe years
things that don't go with my personal style
another thing I'm realizing is that if I do want the clothes back
I can always get it later
for a lot of clothes I just don't realize that it's there so
I just want to kind of let go of it
Sometimes you need to let go Nina.
It's okay to let go
so I'm going to place these down on my bed
Just a big pile. It's just a lot to go through
I'm going to take out most of my winter clothes for now
because they are going to go in the back
I want all of my summer clothes out here
and then the winter clothes in the back
and I kind of just shift them as the time goes
we've got turtlenecks. This is like a nice spring piece.
It'll be right around here
more summer clothes
These are more of my newer pieces.
These can come out.
I don't have the arm strength for this
over here
We are approaching my winter clothing
a nice big coat.
I already see pieces I can get rid of
over here
i haven't touched these at all
hello, wow
Okay, all of my hoodies are in the back
I don't wear a lot of these anymore
oh I completely forgot about this
So I went to UC Berkeley
go bears!
I'm probably going to keep this till the end of time
Wow things are falling.
This is good for you Nina.
i think this is a nice summer activity
my summer blouses, dresses
finally my vests and some dresses
so I got rid of everything in my closet except for these things
these are newer summer pieces that I'm definitely going to keep
this is literally all I have in my closet
and that is the end of this video, thanks for watching.
I'm kidding. We have so much to go through.
I will show you the rest of the closet
This is all I have now
these are some newer pieces and I have not seen it this empty since I moved here
and here is the pile of clothes that I have to sort through
I probably should have worn comfier pants for this
Yay
time to say goodbye
This is going to take a really long time
okay, my desk is a little messy
Let me clean that. also need to hydrate.
Why did I choose to wear high waisted pants?
I also do not know
so the konmari method, there's a lot that goes into the method actually
I always use marie kondo's folding method
that folding method changed my life
I will show you guys when I go through my dresser, that-
i forgot I'm going through my dresser
but with the konmari method, it's about choosing joy.
I'm reading her website
It encourages tidying by category not by location
beginning with clothes and moving on to books papers
i'm not doing any of that
I'm only doing my clothes.
Keep only those things that speak to the heart and
discard items that no longer spark joy
Thank them for their service, then let them go
love that.
So it's basically about being mindful of your items
There are six basic rules of tidying
rule number one, commit yourself to tidying up.
I am committing myself
We are going to do this, even if the sun goes down
I'm going to be here because I literally cannot go to sleep
I sleep there. I can't sleep there
rule number two, Imagine your ideal lifestyle
rule number three finish discarding first
tidy by category not by location
rule number five follow the right order
rule number six ask yourself if it sparks joy
We're going to see if it sparks joy or not.
First. I'm going to hydrate
i swallow really loudly
water is so delicious
I am going to start now
like I said, I'm going to sell most of these one day
So here we have a vest. I haven't worn this in... I don't remember
I wear this a lot when I was younger, but it doesn't spark joy anymore
You have been great to me, but it is time that you move on now.
Thank you very much
time for you to go
I put the vest away, here is another vest
I actually do wear this vest a lot because I do like the black color.
This still sparks joy,
so I'm going to keep it
here we have some dresses
I think it will look better on someone who's taller than me.
this dress is a bit too long
So I think I'm going to give it away.
Thank you for your time.
You're going to move on.
This is a silk shirt
I recently thrifted it.
I am going to keep it.
This looks nice tucked into some pants or tied up
This is my one jacket for exercising.
I have to keep this
i put clothes away and then I ended up getting rid of more clothes
there were some pieces that I wanted to keep it then I just decided to put away.
So I got rid of more pieces as I put them back in my closet.
It's looking a lot emptier
It's looking better actually when I look at it
I just see clothes back to potentially wear
I'm going to go through this last pile
these are very high waisted
Oh, here's my merch
I am going to keep it obviously
if you want my merch it's always in my description
Wow, I have finished sorting through every single piece
I finally got to look at all my clothing pieces again
And I think I narrowed it down to only clothes that I will actually wear.
I actually got rid of a lot
So let's put these back and then we can move on to my dresser.
I can actually sleep tonight
Okay, so I have finished going through my entire hanging closet
I used to not be able to move my clothes around like this
Look at how much space we have now
and then back there
We still have a lot of space if I push this all the way through
lots of space
But I just want to give them some room
but now my clothes can breathe
and these are just my favorite pieces to wear
I've also sorted them from winter to summer
So I have all of my go-to stuff here
and then I have all the space for other clothes
I feel so much lighter
and I'm sure my rack also feels lighter as well
I'm gonna just take all of these I got rid of this much clothes
Another tip if you want your closet to look organized
just have all your hangers the same color.
I have this random white one
look at that
and there we have it
I have cleaned this closet.
I don't know if it looks very different but I think it does
I have my blouses
I have some light jackets, light sweaters, cardigans
and over here I have all my winter stuff
and these are winter items that I definitely wear.
I just have to remember winter is coming
I kind of wanted to get rid of more
but I do wear a majority of these
this closet is finished
I am going to move on to my dresser.
That is where the big mess is
i needed a break.
I'm not even halfway there
but we pushed through anyway
I kinda want to take a nap
I'm not gonna do that though
okay time to do it
so next I'm going to take out all the clothes from my dressers
and put them on bed, sort through them and then put them back.
Here we go
I'm gonna take everything out as you can see
I still try to fold my clothes
But the problem is everything just stacks on top of each other like this
and I can't do anymore
there needs to be less
Everything out. Here we go
done
it is now empty
I'm gonna do my pants after
actually nevermind I'll do it right now
just gonna take everything out
So many clothes I haven't seen in a while
both drawers are completely empty
it's time to sort
my knees hurt
let's sort
i'll also real quick show you how I fold my clothes.
So here we go
Push everything to the side.
So here we have a pair of pants
All you do is just fold it in half like this.
Then we're gonna fold in half in this way
You can tuck in this part if you want,
but I'm kind of lazy. I don't need to do that
and then we're going to fold into thirds just like this
and then your pants should be able to sit on its own just like that, magic
And then for a shirt, this is how I fold mine.
Here is the front.
We're gonna put the front on the floor? on the surface?
basically, this is the back
and then we're going to fold it into thirds like this, just like that
This is Marie Kondo's way
Just like that and then you fold it in half like that
turn upside down then fold it into thirds
and then it should be able to sit on its own as well
Just like that, how cute
so same thing again
The back is exposed
gonna fold into thirds again
fold in half
flip it over
and then roll it into thirds
There we go
See that? then they can neatly sit like this in your drawer
Now I actually wore this top in my last closet clean-out video
I kind of don't visualize myself wearing it anymore
how the turns have tabled
I think I'm going to give it away
So I haven't had coffee or caffeine in a week now
yet I feel great
you go Nina
All done
time to put this all back
so I like to put my everyday shirts around here
and then everything else here
The difference it truly makes when you take everything out
and then sort through it
I didn't even realize how much I took out
but I have so much space
Thank You Marie Kondo
done with that
Moving on to this drawer
putting my pants back in
I'm gonna have my denim here
and then every other pants over here
So this is everything I got rid of I have to organize it
the bed is empty
I have some clothes that I need to hang up
and then I actually have to go through those drawers.
That is just bedding
So I just have to go through the top too.
But if I do that then I should be done
all empty, it literally took two minutes.
This drawer is also empty.
Those are just swimsuits
these two drawers that I was looking through
Were very packed
that it was hard to look through those drawers.
I want to finally condense this
So basically those two drawers the top one is my workout clothes,
skirts and shorts
the second drawer is just pajamas and comfortable clothes
time to fold
There are plenty of clothes that I can give away.
Let's do that right now
Everything is neatly folded now it's time to go back in
So here is our clean pajama drawer
I have more but they're in the laundry pile
Then I have just comfy pants here
then here i have my skirts. all of my skirts and pants that don't fit into my other drawers
then I have my workout clothes here
some comfy shirts and my swimsuits that I never wear
and now my drawers are complete
that drawer has my bedding and this drawer has just underwear
I'm going to fold these up and this will be my suitcase.
I actually filled the entire suitcase
I really need to sell these
that's going to be one of my 2020 goals
I'm going to put these on my depop one day.
I can't believe it closed
all done.
Ok, I'm going to finish up by putting some new pieces of clothing
This is only just a few pieces.
I have more clothes in another room.
That's my filming room
I left a lot of clothes there just because
that room is closest to my front door
And so I can throw those clothes on if I need to go out
if I ever go out
But I just brought back some dresses
Let me know if you guys want a video where I try on all my clothing
that video has been done many times
But I would also like to attempt to do that
So I'm putting all of my dresses over here
where I can easily access them
I have my white blouse
going in this blouse section
got this short dress, gonna go next to my dresses
I love how everything is organized now.
I have a nice cardigan
gonna scoot you over, plenty of room
I have a flannel shirt and this is gonna go right next to my other flannel shirts
easy access
actually, I think my denim jackets should go behind my flannels here.
And then finally, I just have this nice midi dress maxi dress.
I'm going to put it with my dresses once again, how
how adorable
everything is here. This looks like a summer wardrobe.
Wow I've been filming for so long
but we have finished cleaning my entire closet
my entire wardrobe
all good all done
I filled an entire suitcase full of clothing
I am going to get on selling those
there are some clothes that I would like to donate as well
If you are interested in any of the clothes, you can follow my depop
i will of course eventually clean them.
They are mostly good quality
Look out for some clothes in the future.
But that is it for this closet clean out.
i am so satisfied with my closet
it is all just stuff that I would wear.
This has been a great experience
I've been meaning to clean my closet for a very long time.
Everything's just easier to access
high-five to me. high-five to you too.
I hope that this motivates you to clean your closet
look through your items
Let go of things that need to be let go of
I am tired
I have been cleaning for four hours
but that is it for this video
Thank you guys for watching and I will see you next time!
Goodbye my friends :)
