- Hello, welcome to my living room floor.
Today, we're going to clear out my wardrobe.
Well, I'm going to clear out my wardrobe,
you're going to watch.
This is a video that a lot of you requested,
so I'm delivering.
What we have is a massive pile of my clothes over there.
Those are the ones that are currently in my wardrobe,
and then over there, there's a load of coats.
In this box,
(grunts)
we have all of my hoodies and jumpers,
and then next to me here are two suitcases
also full of clothes because I filled them up
when Dan moved in to make space for his clothes.
Right, we're gonna see how this goes.
First of all, I'm going to play some music,
not royalty free, and organise all of these clothes
into piles of types of clothing, and then I'll be right back
to actually sort through them and get rid of some.
(jazz music)
Okay, we made it this far and I'm already sweating,
like a lot.
I'm kinda disgusted by how many clothes I own.
One of the things is the season thing,
so you need clothes for both seasons,
By both seasons, I know there's four,
but there's really just two, like cold and hot.
My problem is dresses, so even just,
this is the dress pile, this one.
The biggest pile is the dresses,
and just going through them now I'm like,
I don't want to get rid of any of them.
Alright, I need a system, where am I gonna put my piles?
This is the thing.
I know, suitcase.
We'll put the (mumbles) shop stuff in the suitcase.
Right, whew, let's begin
with long-sleeved tops.
As you can tell, I wear long sleeve tops.
This one's staying because I wear it all the time.
This one I got at a clothes swap at Lina's house.
This was actually one of Lina's tops that I now own.
We should count them.
(jazz music)
17 long-sleeved tops.
(grunts)
This one is staying.
I love it, I love it.
It's got like the open-shoulder thing and it's new.
This one can go, this one was a bad purchase.
Velvety, weird creasy stuff doesn't suit me.
This one can also go because I have another plaid shirt
and it doesn't fit over my boobs,
and I prefer the other one.
Nope, not special enough.
Yellow top, staying.
Yellow stripy top staying.
Oh god, this is not gonna work very well.
Elephant blouse. staying, see-through black thing staying,
fancy green one staying, the other plaid one staying.
Jesus, right okay, this isn't going so well.
I think this one can go.
Di-di-di-di This is a bit odd, where did I get this?
Oh the stripey one is staying because it's new.
This one is staying, this one is staying
because it's my merch.
Duh-duh-duh, says in spirit, like in the spirit of drunk,
which I am now all the time because I'm not drinking.
I've had two drinks since surgery.
Both on separate occasions
and both times just went straight to my head,
straight to my head.
Maybe these two can go, I do love them.
They have been around for a really long time.
You've served your purpose well, good-bye.
How well did we do?
I don't know, best to count the ones we threw away.
So I have 12 left.
Oh I'm not ready to move on to dresses, let's do jumpers.
This massive box, okay.
We have the VidCon hoodie.
I love this hoodie
and also, it fits Dan as well.
So it's double-purpose.
My green hoodie, I wear that all the time.
This is my Jeremy Loops jumper,
this is my other grey hoodie which my Zion Canyon one.
Sorry Jeremy.
Good enough hoodie.
This one is staying, obviously.
Yellow, staying.
A niche hoodie, um, this one's really soft
but branded ones can go.
This is the other grey one I have
which is my Hufflepuff one, staying.
I'd forgotten you existed, so I think you're going
and then you can stay.
(jazz music)
Seven, eight
(sighs)
that's still so many.
I got rid of three.
(grunts)
I'm bad at this.
This is hard, why is this so hard?
To be honest, these two hoodies serve the same purpose.
I've had this green one for so long
and I just wear it constantly.
Bye, VidCon.
I think I might get rid of these two as well
but these are like my fancy hoodies,
everything else is so plain.
Right, we've got the yellow one, which I love.
We've got the Hufflepuff one, which is staying.
Good enough, staying.
Maybe the Zion Canyon goes, maybe that one goes as well
and then fancy hoodies are staying.
Don't judge me.
Right, let's do other tops, short sleeved tops.
Okay, how many do we have?
21, Jesus.
Okay, let's go.
This one, thank you served me well.
Again these two, I've had these so long and they look
and they look so damn good with black jeans.
I need to get me another pair of black jeans.
Right, these are staying.
This one, staying.
Sorry I just love stripes.
This one, staying.
This one you can go.
This one, go.
(jazz music)
Okay now we get to like the kind of plain t-shirt
but the thing is I like wearing these for plane journeys
so I might just have to say goodbye.
You can go.
That was a bad purchase.
These kind of t-shirts I don't think really suit me.
I am a phenomenal woman but
there are other phenomenal women out there.
Right, this one's staying.
(grunts)
Okay so, my favourite band the First Aid Kit,
I talk about them a lot.
I've seen them lots and lots of times.
This is a t-shirt I got, I think, the first time I ever went
to see them about eight, nine years ago
and it was such a small gig that
they were selling their own merch.
I don't even know if it fits me anymore.
Ugh, what do I do?
This will just be like one of those t-shirts on the worst.
It will just be one of those t-shirts that I wear when
I'm painting or something, doing housey things,
building IKEA furniture.
Superhero, I talk about mental health.
I have no idea where this came from, goodbye.
Ugh, stay curious.
Sexplanations merch, I'm sorry Lindsay.
Go watch Sexplanations, it's great.
Plain black top, you know what, it's not necessary
and this one, this one is staying.
I love this, sparkly, sparkly pink.
Right, how did we do?
Eight, nine, got rid of over half of my t-shirts.
Right, good work.
Next, skirts.
Okay, this is going to be hard.
So we have seven skirts and four of them are like long ones.
I love this but never wear it.
These two are like too many skirts I wear all the time.
Now we're into my long skirts.
Look how beautiful it is.
This one, stunning.
This one, stunning and then this one, stunning.
Do I have to get rid of any of them?
This one even though it cost me the most money,
brings me the least joy.
Ah, it's so cool though.
Yellow one, you're definitely staying.
You're definitely staying, you're staying.
Right, do you know what my Mom always said,
if in doubt, chuck it out.
Right next, shorts.
Now I don't ever wear shorts except for summer.
Also, I have no idea if any of these still fit me.
I bought these when I put on all that weight.
These I got in a cherry shop too.
They're so cool and their great for summer.
Also great for summer.
Also great for summer but not my favs, so you can go.
Hot pants, never wear hot pants.
We've got rid of two, that's fine.
Right, we have back here trousers and like vest tops
and then pyjamas and playsuits and dresses.
Let's do the vest tops first.
Again, these are all like summer.
This I love, always wear in the summer.
This one, not so much.
This one, yes.
Right, I love the colour of this but
this material you get any water on it or anything
and it just like ruins it and you can't wear it
for the rest of the day but it's so nice.
I have to keep this, it's gorgeous.
Okay, I love wearing this.
I don't think it suits me, it served its purpose.
This I love.
There's a colour theme going on here
but how many yellowy, orange vest tops does one woman need?
This one can go.
Dun-dun-dun-da this, so I wore this
for buffer festival last year on the red carpet
and I'm obsessed,
I've got to find another reason to wear (mumbles)
Oh no, another yellow vest top.
This one has to stay because it's Hufflepuff, sorry.
Okay, blue vest top you can go.
This is a bad purchase and has no use to me, goodbye.
Okay I don't know how many we got rid of then.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Five had stayed and they're all the same bloody colour.
Hmm, I literally got rid of the grey, the purple
and the blue things and just kept all
of the yellow, orange, gold.
Next, jeans.
Okay, these can go because I haven't actually tried them on
since leaving hospital so I don't know if they still fit me
but I was meaning to replace them anyway because
of the massive hole in them.
Okay and then we have two like loungey wear things.
This is basically all I wore when I was ill.
Do you know what, I love these, I'm gonna keep these.
These can go, these are boring.
Then I've got like my summer pair of jeans.
Again, probably too big for me now but
I'm gonna keep them anyway just in case by summer,
once it get warmer I put on more weight.
I need to buy a pair of black skinny jeans.
That's like next purchase.
I've got two like cas spring jackets over here but
they're both staying, I've already decided that.
Okay next, playsuits and jumpsuits and things.
Right, this, okay this I love but it's broken.
I remember it being broken somewhere.
Now this is a very easy sewing job for someone who isn't me.
I'm gonna keep that and practise my sewing skills
cause I really need to learn how to sew
cause I love this, it's so nice.
Right another summer playsuit, gorgeous, love it, love it.
Dungarees, staying.
This spotty, collar playsuit thing will it still fit me
because that was when I was my biggest, ah, we'll see.
This one, love, love.
This I just like have owned for so long
and wear all the time I love 'em, I love 'em.
So looks like we're not getting rid of any of them.
Next, pyjamas, I accumulate lots of pyjamas.
Hogwarts ones, these are staying.
I'm entitled to all of this space,
which is sold out, I'm sorry, staying.
Random big blue top, you can go.
Strawberries, these are like my summer ones.
I like the summer strawberry ones.
Some random shorts.
Ah okay so, these ones, da-da-da-da
my mom bought me these
when I was in hospital and we've got bad associations
with them so, goodbye.
We've got massive shirt thing, it's very cool but goodbye.
Dun-dun-dun-dun, my give me space pyjama top,
bom-bom-bom we're gonna keep them.
These ones, don't really like these anymore
and then there's this top, this shirt, which I love
and I do have the trousers of them somewhere.
I'm gonna keep this cause I would like
to find those trousers again.
Time for dresses.
(jazz music)
Oh wow, okay 30.
There's some obvious ones in here that I'm like,
yeah definitely get rid of.
This one, that can go.
This one doesn't bring me joy.
This one doesn't really bring me joy.
This one doesn't fit me anymore.
This one doesn't fit me anymore cause it shrunk in the wash.
Another Halloween costume.
These three are ones that I love and kept aside
when I gained the weight cause they didn't fit me anymore
and I kind of like hoped to fit in them again
and I haven't tried them on since so I don't know
if they fit me anymore.
I'm just, ah, I love them so much.
So I'm gonna set them to the side and I'm gonna try them on
after filming this video and if they don't fit me,
they're going, if they do they're staying.
These are staying, I bought these for last summer
and they'll last me a million other summers.
Ah, I love this, this is a cherry shop buy for me as well
but it's like a size too big for me so it's probably
like even more too big for me now.
I'll put that in the try on pile cause it's just so cool.
This one's had it's time, farewell.
See this is cool but probably a bad purchase for me.
I just don't think it worked for me, goodbye.
Oh this is so nice, I love this.
Why is this so hard?
I really should have read that,
Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up book first,
maybe that would have helped me with all of this.
Okay we have two sequin dresses.
Ah, it's getting caught on the other ones.
We have the long sleeved green one that makes me look
like a Christmas tree.
I really thought I was someone who
didn't have that many clothes and didn't shop that much.
Well, I don't shop that much but I definitely seem
to hold clothes so this is how we end up in this situation
where I genuinely like don't know what to do.
I'm freaking out a little bit.
Have we got rid of any dresses so far, we have.
Why is this so hard?
I want to keep all of these.
Right, do you know what, both of these sparkly ones can go.
They've had their time, they've had their time.
No one needs all of those sequins.
Let's pick the ones that are definitely staying.
So, some of these dresses, I have owned for so many years
and they've served me so well.
(jazz music)
Can't believe I just got rid of a yellow thing.
(jazz music)
I think there's actually 31 dresses there
cause I didn't see one at the bottom
but that one's staying.
And this, I've worn this twice and
like I'm not against wearing it again to other things
like I can't get rid of this yet, look at it.
Right yeah, if I got to keep all of those too
then we got rid of half of my dresses.
Oh except for those ones over there that I'm gonna try on.
Okay, maybe we got rid of a third of my dresses, we'll see.
Next is just like sports wear.
Guess who's not exercising right now
because they literally can't,
me but I would like to be able to exercise again soon.
That would be great.
Right, there we go, we got rid of loads of them too.
Oh crap, I've just seen my pile of coats.
(grunts)
Leather jacket, staying.
Main coat, coat, winter coat, staying.
Fancy winter coat, staying.
Funky anorak, waterproof, staying.
Boomer jacket thing, you can go.
Right, we've got two denim jackets.
The only thing is that this one is like embroidered
and personalised, I can't even remember how these fit me.
Ugh, I love it.
Goodbye, you stay.
So what, we got rid of three coats, that'll do.
(jazz music)
So here is the pile that is going away.
That is getting donated.
Goodbye clothes, you have served me well.
Here is what is staying, dun-dun-dun-dun.
These bags are full of books and other bits and bobs
including lots of sex toys that
I shall also be getting rid of.
Okay, I hope this was somewhat entertaining.
If it wasn't then it was your fault because you asked
for this video or is it my fault
because I didn't make it entertaining?
I'm sorry, I'm trying to clear out my wardrobe here.
There's a beautiful pile of clothes here
that I shall be giving away.
But yeah, I would recommend clearing out your wardrobe.
It's an exciting time and definitely makes have
to make a lot of hard decisions.
This has been difficult and exhausting and
I want to go back to bed but I'm gonna have
to sort out all of this mess now and put my clothes back.
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed this.
Please give the video a thumbs up if you did.
Let me know in the comments your strategies
for clearing out
cause clearly for the next time that I do this,
I'm gonna need them.
Don't forget to subscribe and hit that notification bell
so you know when I upload a new video and
I'll see you soon, bye.
