I have closet clothes; I brought my closet
that I've had for over thirty years.
Oh wow. Okay.
Some of them, I don't, I wear sometimes,
like what I have on. Right.
And some of them, I just sit in the back of the closet.
So, how do I know when something is current
and trendy, and I should wear it,
or when do I donate it?
Let it go. Move on, yes.
Hmm, the Reagan years. (Audience laughs)
Anyway, we'll go through this later Jean,
that's a great question.
I also have things that are thirty years old
that I just, the monkey pants. (Laughs) The monkey pants.
Like I just, I can't get rid of them.
So, we did a little, I have a little quiz in the book.
And the audience took the quiz as well,
or is able to take the quiz and you took it,
I think, backstage also and it really just helps
to define your styles.
So if things don't match your current style
then you should get rid of it,
but what is your current style?
So, three quick easy questions.
The first one is, think about your closet.
And now pick three favorite items
and how do they make you feel?
A: Hip, B: Comfortable, C: Sentimental.
Gotcha.
Okay, then moving on to question two.
The latest fashion trends I see make me,
A, Giddy, I'll follow the ones
that seem easy enough to replicate.
Or B, Curious, I'll wait until
I see my friends wearing them.
Or C, Confused, What are these people thinking?
(Laughing) I think that a lot.
(Laughs) I'm usually C, right?
I do too. Me too.
I'm like, what? I was like, gauchos again?
(Audience laughs) I'm not buying it.
And then the third question is,
when was your best era, when did you really feel
like you looked amazing, you're really killing the game?
Oh, I like that, I like that.
So A is every era is my best era.
(Laughs) I said that one. (Audience laughs)
And then B, somewhere between first
getting married and now.
And then C, high school; it was definitely not high school.
Definitely not high school for me.
No, no.
So when you took the quiz, you were,
what was your predominant letter?
Was it B?
I think it was mostly B.
Okay. So you're kind of in the middle there.
You like to kind of stick to tried and true.
A safe zone, right. Yes.
The classics, which would explain why
you haven't gotten rid of any of this since the '80s.
(Audience laughs)
I think we can probably let this go.
(Audience laughs) (Audience claps loudly)
I mean, it's adorable, but it's a little thread bare.
(Laughs) She's so ashamed, she's like oh (mumbles)?
No, no. I think there's great things.
If your clothing is still working for you,
and it still fits thirty years, good for you.
Yeah, good for you. (Audience claps)
And it's just a matter of going through and editing.
So, how do we do that?
Basically, I will say, get one of these rolling racks,
they're about $60.
I love these and they collapse down.
They go under the bed as well.
Everything's under my bed, Rachael.
(Laughs) Not going there!
And basically, probably a good idea.
Basically, get everything out and onto the rack.
And then you're going to shop this,
just like you would a store. Oh wow.
So, if you see something, and you're like,
"God, I don't like that, why would I have that?"
It should immediately go in your donation box.
If there's something you have a question about,
maybe this, this is really, really quite classic.
I would say if you have a question about it,
you're not sure, try it on, hair, makeup the full thing,
look in the mirror, if you like it
and you would go out immediately in that outfit,
then that's a keeper. Good idea.
(Audience claps)
Then everything else, that isn't working for you,
you should, you should give away.
Okay, and that will really edit you down-
Not bad, he's making it sound so easy right?
He makes it sound easy. Into what really works.
And that circles back to what I said at the beginning.
If it's not really working for you,
if it's not making you feel good when you put it on,
it shouldn't be in your closet
because you want to start your day successfully,
with that great head space of, like, I look good.
Exactly, it's a healthier place to start your day.
If you're like, "Oh yeah, I look kind of okay today."
Yeah, exactly. (Audience cheers and claps)
