the time has come again... it's time for another MASSIVE closet purge... (clean out my closet with me!) today we're doing a bit of a spring cleaning reset, closet edition! i decided to go through my closet and declutter as much as i could, getting rid of (aka donating) items that don't fit me anymore, don't spark joy, or i don't wear often because they were probably an impulsive thrift purchase. hope you enjoy this size 16 midsize plus size closet clean out! xoxoxo

I think a follow up video could be you styling the specific pieces that you're on the fence about because you're not sure how to style them and then decide whether to keep them or not. You may have done this before, or maybe Alexis did this.

I love that a handful of items were either thrifted by me or thrifted with me hehe

[alliekauffmann]

I remember when you got that pilgrim shirt and I was like "oh no Carrie" but I knew you had to go on your own journey with it. ❤

[Jayjay-kxio]

Fun fact absolutely no one asked for: the first video of yours I ever found and watched was a closet clean out yearsss ago. I absolutely fell in love with your channel so every time you post one it gives me a serotonin boost of nostalgia 😍

For Drew’s old flannel, have it made into a pillow or teddy bear!

[gneissschisty]

For an introvert who never leaves your house you do have a ton of going out stuff 😂

[Mirandathedragon]

Not me talking to you thru the screen like "GET RID OF IT" "YES THIS IS CLASSIC" lollll

[mag]

Carrie: I'm going to be ruthless with this Carrie: I'm gonna hang on to this 🤣

[susanma]

When you have several items that are very similar, like the overalls, trying on each pair, one after another, really provides clarity re what's working and what isn't. I know this wasn't a try-on video, but if you truly wanted to winnow them down, that's what I'd suggest.

The scream audio as you dropped the sweater was HILARIOUS, I don't know why it struck my funny bone 😂😂

[beaw]

The pipeline of "I love this I can't wait to style this!" to "What was I thinking?" with the little berries and creme man in the corner had me! I feel that all too well lol!

[mariacarbajal]

I would love to see you doing like a clean out of gym clothes and short tops like drawer stuff! Cant get enough closet clean outs!!

[shinjinir]

I love it when you do these!! Just a thought-- you might want to change the way you hang your sweaters because they can stretch out big time at the shoulders. I fold mine in half and basically drape the body of the sweater + the arms of the sweater over the hanger (google will probably explain this better than me lmao)

[angelicaholmes]

I can't with the Tris scream as you yeet the shirt 😂😂

[crisstice]

For the black and white Drew’s shirt-turn it into a shadow box project or a special pillow as a keepsake. 😊

For dyeing the sweater: the fabric composition matters much more than the type of clothing. If it's 100% natural fiber (cotton, rayon, viscose, etc.) it will likely be super easy to dye, especially to a darker color of the same tone (warm or cool). If it's 100% synthetic (polyester, spandex, etc.), that is probably the second easiest to dye. If it's a mix of natural and synthetic, it probably isn't a good candidate for dyeing. Use Rit dye remover first to remove as much color as possible, then use a Rit dye of the corresponding fabric type (natural or synthetic), followed by a fixative (Rit sells this as well). I just dyed a few pairs of thrifted pants and would be happy to walk you through the process!

CARRIE! Please list the slip dresses. We’re the same size and I would totally buy these from you off poshmark or whatknot 😭😭

[stephanie]

I went to Plato’s closet sold them 63 items for $156 ❤ is the fastest way I got $$$ 😊 the rest I just donated it 😍

[karina-sbth]

If you get really sweaty to the point where you can't wear the clothes you want, then maybe you should look into getting preventative botox! I can relate to sweating for no reason at all and it has really helped me. ❤❤❤

Helpful tip! For the items you haven't worn much, but think you'll wear more, put a date of 6 months out on a post it. Impale the post it on the hanger. If you wear it before the date, throw the post it away. If you haven't before next declutter, it's gotta go!
