A few years ago heard a few tips about closet cleaning and it worked for me…..Can’t decide on a yes or no for a few items….Hang it in the closet with the hanger facing ‘hook out’. If you wear it replace it normally. When you clean/ organize the next time, if the hanger has not changed, it becomes a NO. The other tip is when you buy something new, discard something old. This has worked for me.

I’m giving myself two extra years on the “not worn in one year rule”, which I usually follow, because I’ve only left the house a few times during the pandemic. I have many beautiful, current clothes that I wear more when out and about. I’m re-starting the clock this spring, assuming that this Omicron wave finishes the pandemic stage of COVID-19.

Love all your videos! Just retired about 5 months ago and need to clean out and refresh. Being in sales working with Architects, Engineers and designers, I had a certain business style….. now I need a retirement style! I watched your basics videos and have a lot of pieces, just need to refresh. Thanks for the motivation!

First time I’m organizing my closet, at age 68, not only is my small closet cluttered but also I don’t have the basic essentials in my closet. I suddenly decided that it’s time to make changes in my closet and my clothing. Feeling overwhelmed, decided to search on YouTube and I came across your channel!!! I think I’m off to a good start!

Since I live in a tiny(450sqft) condo with a closet that is super small, I need to seasonally organize my closet. So now that it's winter, all of my spring/summer things are in storage bins on a very high top shelf including summer shoes! Since I am limited in space, every item needs to mix and match with at least 4 other items! And nearly everytime I purchase something I purge something! Plus I do the color coordinating thing too! This has been a learning curve as I lived in a 2300 sqft home until I downsized. I found out quickly that 3 or 4 pairs of jeans in my go to mid rise, straight leg style in black, dark rinse and light and 2 skinny leg in black and dark rinse are all I need! It can be done! Because of this, I've upgraded my style a bit as I don't have a lot of room for sweats and athleisure wear. I have to get as much bang for my buck as possible so I depend on multiple sweaters, blouses or T's and blazers to go with my basic jeans and pants. I'm a lot more dressed up than most of my community but that's their problem!

I’ve never seen so many white blouses except in a store and even there usually much less! I have one. You have a wonderful functional closet and many beautiful clothes. My rules vary though due to weight gain and loss so I have my fat clothes, mid weight and thin clothes. Also I keep clothes much much longer and find I will wear them maybe even several years later especially as styles and trends go in and out. I have two closets and one is like yours with just the clothes I will wear this season. Thank you for sharing.

I cleanse every season (However I have given myself a pandemic grace period). I'm one of those that turn my hangars backward in the beginning of each season so I can see just what I really wear!! I feel better when there are 'spaces' that I get to fill with new items! Thank you for the inspiration.

Well done! Succinct and extremely practical. Thank you.

Enjoyed your video. This is the first time watching your channel. Building a new wardrobe. I have losted 80 lbs in the last 9 months. I have bariatric sleeve surgery on April 27 2021. Now am a new person. Am 65 years young.

Hi Beth. I love your shoe storage trick...one heel in - one toe in. I tried it and it did save space on my shoe shelves! Wow, you sure have a LOT of clothes!

[debbiemonroe]

I wish I had that closet. I am going to get rid of everything this weekend that I have not worn in over a year. Thank you so much!

[sharonpanetta]

Beautiful closet! So many clothes! Beautifully organized!

[nancysmith]

Omg Beth your talking to me. I’ve taken over every closet in my farmhouse. I did donate a lot but still have to much stuff! These videos will be made for me. I can’t thank you enough for this!

[ypfbpne]

Love your you. I'm cleaning my closet, tommorow.

[lindapowelllindadawn]

Great advice! You've given me that push to tackle one of my closets today on a wintery day. I have thrifted a large wardrobe, which has been great, but I can only wear so many clothes. It's painless to donate items back to the charity shops. And it feels so good to see a clean, organized closet!

[Surferess]

I just love your ideas, most of which seem to work for most women. I am an anomaly and change weight 10-12 pounds at a time, and my sizes literally range from 4-12. This adds another level to your flow chart there. I simply cannot throw away things bc they are 2 sizes too big bc I will likely be that size again in 5 years.

[teresaibarra]

Excellent and dynamic explanation about closet organization! Thanks Beth!

[kimberlyberlin]

Beth, I just have to say that I love your current video intro. It shows all of the areas we need to focus on as women, not just fashion. I'm excited for the Back to Basics theme you're starting too! Since Covid hit I haven't been out and about so I am very reluctant to apply the "If you haven't worn it in a year get rid of it" rule.

I'm 36 but enjoy your content! Great info!

[joannebryant]

I needed guidance on this very topic (was feeling a bit overwhelmed)! Thanks for such relevant and timely content.
