I have been dreading this for a while now but it HAS to be done! My first time ever doing an extreme closet cleanout!
Hiya! Today, I’m embarking on a journey that both excites and terrifies me—an extreme closet cleanout! It's something I've been putting off, despite my slow and steady efforts to declutter and reorganize my wardrobe. You know that feeling, right? A closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear!
I’ve been refining my style lately, fresh off a color analysis and a delightful light spring makeover. With these changes, I thought, "What better time to dive deep into my wardrobe than now?" Inspired by Marie Kondo's life-changing magic of tidying up (yes, I’ve turned into a bit of a KonMari enthusiast), I’m all set to ask myself that crucial question: Does it spark joy?
For those unfamiliar, Marie Kondo champions a simple yet effective method to declutter your life, focusing on keeping only those things that bring you joy. And if you haven't already, check out her books or her Netflix show for a burst of organizing inspiration.
Now, let’s talk about the battlefield—my closet. It’s been seven years since I last did a full cleanout, and it’s time to face the music. My closet is a mix of blouses, dresses, skirts, sweaters, jackets, and a chaotic assortment of purses that really deserve a better home. Today, that changes!
Join me as I tackle different sections: the mishmash of shoes, shorts, pants, and hats, the over-stuffed drawers that hide treasures I forgot I owned, and my personal challenge—the shoe section I share with my husband. We're going in! The lightly worn items will find new homes via my Depop and Poshmark stores (links in the description!), while the rest will be donated to my local Women’s Center. It feels right to give back to a place that directly benefits those who need these items most.
So, with a full belly, caffeinated to the brim, and a limited window before mommy duties call, I’m diving in. I’m nervous but excited. Who’s ready to tackle this monumental task with me? Let’s breathe new life into my wardrobe and hopefully inspire you to do the same with yours.
Here goes nothing! Join me as I sort through piles of clothes, rediscover forgotten gems, and make some tough decisions on what stays and what goes. It’s going to be a wild ride, but I'm ready. Let's do this together! Are you with me? Let the closet transformation begin!
