Absolutely terrific series, I love the orderly way you go about this. Specifically describing the item you want is an excellent tip. I have also started using my “3 style words” when trying to decide between various versions of an item - say a white linen blouse. If I want comfortable yet feminine style, then I’m going to pick a flowy, streamlined style as opposed to a boxy cropped style with lots of big pockets… Even though I love the boxy style on the model or others, it won’t make me feel feminine, so I’d prefer the flowy version… Being armed with these descriptive words helps me not to buy things I won’t wear.

Great episode Emily! I declutter every season but for the last couple of years, I have less and less to donate or sell because of my intentional purchases. However, I recently decluttered styles that no longer fit my age and lifestyle. Can't wait to see the Canadian brand item you purchased! 😉Hugs from Canada! 🥰

Congratulations on your series. You've put alot of work into it and it shows. Great tips.

I now just put things in a crate at the top of my wardrobe. I wait atleast 6 months before getting rid of clothes. We often like to revisit clothes as our lives change.

I really really liked this video! I am so with you what regards a good whishlist, however, often it's really hard to find the right items!
I like so your personal styleso much! I really would appriciate more videos where you show your outfits and the brands you like etc.!

Love your channel, I do from time to time declutter my wardrobe. Anything that is uncomfortable or doesn’t suit me has to go🙂

[suzanschneider]

This series is great. You’ve helped me be So Much more intentional with my wardrobe.

[Myaussiehome]

Oh yes!! I'm a Dressing Your Truth secondary Type Two! Itchy knits are also gone.🎉

I find your videos very helpful but I wonder - have you got any tips on how to declutter clothes when you like everything you own? I'm at this awkward stage where I really like what I have, just wish there was less of it and I struggle to curate. I know this is totally a first world problem, but any tips on this would be so welcome x

Love the jumper. Nice texture and colour. Happy winter from another Aussie. ❤

Very helpful thanks Emily. I’d love to see a vlog-style video sometime where you take us shopping with you as you make new purchases - whether that’s in stores or charity shops - to show us what sort of stores you like and how you try on and decide what clothes to buy. Just a suggestion 😊

Emily, I am with you on the love of decluttering!👍. There is nothing better than a small wardrobe of things you actually wear and suit your current lifestyle. The spillover of successful closet declutters can have a positive influence on your whole house!
It is so freeing to let go of household items you no longer use or love!
I enjoy your practical content so much Emily!

Just de cluttered a beautiful vintage wool (lined) plaid skirt that’s very scratchy. 😔 The De Clutter Flow Chart looks like an excellent tool! Thank you!

P.S. Please show us how to style silver (or any color) ballet flats.

[Myaussiehome]

Can you show us your Spring wardrobe soon? I am starting to think about mine from watching this.

[lauralong]

I am enjoying your series so much. When I started, I invested in a decent full length mirror so I could see how my shoes look with an outfit. I had been using the mirror in the living room but that's not very practical.

I am a shocker at decluttering... I have a few items that I've had for decades that I can't bring myself to declutter but really should. I only wear them around home or to sleep in now...I'm not good at letting go 😆😉💖 Loved this video, Emily. Thank you 💗

[loregonzalez]

Great Video again!!!❤❤You inspired me to decutter my full wardrobe... thank you!!!❤❤

[rebeccarawls]

[Myaussiehome]

Yes I never declutter clothes from a season I am not currently in.
