Join me on a journey to transform my cluttered closet into a curated collection that fits my everyday life perfectly. In this video, I take you through the process of decluttering, letting go of items that no longer serve me, and embracing a more minimalist approach. With a realistic mindset, I create practical uniforms tailored to my lifestyle, ensuring each piece serves a purpose and brings joy. Get ready to witness the transformation as I streamline my wardrobe and rediscover the joy of simplicity and functionality. I am breaking away from overbuying for my "fantasy self" and only having a wardrobe that fits my "realistic self".

I realized a couple years ago that I really only ever feel like wearing T-shirts, button-up shirts, and sweaters with comfortable bottoms and shoes. It is so liberating to be able to look at outfits and say, "That's so pretty, but I'd probably never wear that unless I was playing a character on stage."

My closet thanks you! I went in there & cleaned out two medium sized "trash bags" worth of clothes to include coats. Much of the things I still liked, but what good is liking an item if you don't wear it... EVER? So, the bags are in the back seat of my car ready to be donated. One rule I have made for myself while thrifting: I do not allow myself to look at clothes. I have more than a plenty so no need to even look.

It's sooo true about the "fantasy" person we're all buying for. I'm 36... if I haven't become this fantasy person who wears cool blazers and dress pants or wears fairy dresses, it's never gonna happen lol. You've motivated me to do a big purge that I've been needing to, and focus on finding the fewer, high quality pieces that are missing from my REAL self's wardrobe.

VERY GOOD!!! So true about that fantasy person we buy for, Nice Job!!!

Love how you put into words what many of us are doing. We have all shopped those fantasy clothes that end up not worn and taking up real estate. I recently did the same as you. Losing 20 lbs was my motivation. It took several times through but now i have only those pieces I absolutely love and are timeless. Good work girl!

Love the truthfullness of this video..In my 30's and 40's I was the woman who coordinated everything..clothes, handbags, jewelry, scarves..2 years ago I turned 60 and just looked at all that I had accumulated and realized I truly was wearing about 10% of it. I donated over 50% of my things...over 300 pieces to a community clothes closet that supplies clothing to women in need. I felt good about it and I miss none of it. I still have too much... but find it soo much easier to choose daily what to wear and am doing the "hanger flip" method to see what I wear now..and am going to purge again this summer. Keep motivating people- we need too see realistic purges like this.

I did this a few years ago after I retired from work. I downsized my house and now my closet is only 36" wide, so it was necessary. I now have more stay at home clothes and a few dressy outfits. I don't miss all those extra clothes and your right, my stress level has dropped.

@obsidianbeauty76 2 years ago

This video was HUGE help..A uniform for my different tasks makes so much sense and that fantasy self is so true. I have evening gowns, found at a thrift store, but still nowhere to wear them..this helps so much..

@janetslicer3637 2 years ago

That's the first time I have heard somebody put into words, what I am doing. Yes, the fantasy wardrobe I never wear. Shame on me. I start tomorrow. And I am cleaning it all out! Touché!

@brookeburgess190 2 years ago

I just finished cleaning out my closet. I got tired of having clothes that didn’t fit or no longer matched my lifestyle. Now, I can go in, pick an outfit and be me! We are totally on the same sheet of music. Simplify for more joy!!!!! Another perfect video, girl! Much love!❤

@cathleenmiller8407 2 years ago

I watched your video last night of the closet and you were absolutely right more than half of the clothes in my closet is something I wanna wear not that I do wear same with shoes only ever wear tennis shoes. I can’t tell you how much you inspire me, and everybody else that watches your channel. and I know you’ve been overwhelmed and thought about giving it up but please don’t ever give it up. You bring so much pleasure to so many people and we need this right now. thank you for all you do.💕

@pamelapeterson2987 2 years ago

Great video. I like your idea of creating "uniforms" for different activities. I recently did a major clean out. I'd already done a clean out a couple years ago where I got rid of everything that didn't fit or I didn't love, but I still had a lot and it created too many choices. In all, I let go of about 40 pieces. I thought I might have regrets about some of them, but that hasn't happened (I did make about $250 selling on eBay and to a local second hand store. One of my criteria was to keep neutrals and items in just two accent colors that I know look good on me. I'm so happy with the end result!

@ginny736 2 years ago

I take one bag to a nice Consignment Shop to sell and one bag to Goodwill to donate twice a year (Summer and Winter). That keeps some mad money coming in and my closet organized. And I too buy gently worn clothing on eBay when I see something I like that is too expensive and also shop after season items at my favorite shops. It’s a great system that I’ve had for many years. Glad to see you on board! 👍🏻👏🏻

@briarrose3155 2 years ago

I'm there with you. You're inspiring me to keep going. Everything will have a home or donated by the end of February.

@tyrajoseph4943 2 years ago

You have given me the courage to purge and declutter my clothes too. I have loads of clothes bags to sort through. Thanks for sharing.

@RitaVernoy 2 years ago

I love the concept of the uniforms! I’m going to get started on that, I have been purging my closet little by little this past year, so this will give me a better system for what I need vs my fantasy self. Thankyou😊

@lisadavis4279 2 years ago

I agree with this explanation. Many of us have a vision of our fantasy life and what we would wear in it. Thats why we buy too many clothes for events that we don't go to, clothes that we don't work out in and for dates we don't go on. I haven't seen your other videos. Maybe you explain this in other declutters. I would like to see what you decluttered and why you eliminated the item. It's helpful to have some background. Also, are you selling or donating those items. If you are selling them, maybe you could share your size. Maybe someone would want to buy them. As a reseller, this could be good for your business and good for the planet.

@laurajeffcoat4731 2 years ago

Laundry was on my agenda today and I missed your live 😞 but I was able to watch as i took a break. Sherri thank you so much for sharing this video. So needed to see it and I absolutely agree. My reality self needs to do this immediately. Thank you for opening my eyes. Hope you have a wonderful week. See you in the next one 🤗💓💕💞

I'm 66. I don't care about fashion, brand names, etc. I'm not buying for a fantasy self. I believe that I buy because I'm afraid that after retirement, we won't have the money for more. I always buy second-hand or clearance/sale/coupon, etc. I've lost weight and purged a couple of times, but still have a lot of clothing. I've decided that anything else I buy will be better quality stuff. I'm having to buy more warmer clothes cause with the weight loss has come being cold. Something I could never imagine when I was young and a lot heavier. So, fear seems to be the motivation for me. Love you and your videos, Sherri! Could watch every day.
