The advice given by many youtubers and bloggers is to get rid of anything that you haven't worn in a year, but when you reach a certain age, you realize that a year is nothing. It's the blink of an eye. I don't get rid of anything unless it's hopelessly out of style by several years, or too worn to be presentable.

Totally agree. I have some thrift store leather jackets, waiting for me to lose a few pounds. They are more neutral styles and not trendy or dated for their age, so I can add them in again and again. I got the. Separately but carefully considered them for their style fit and color to match most of my wardrobe. They cost me very little, like $25 or less. I could never replace them for that. If I want trendy, I can go to Walmart for a sweater etc. I like quality on a budget. So I look at the sewing, fabric content, details. If it’s not good quality fabric (like a random purchase that suited a particular season or I needed for an outfit, it goes. In my 60s now, so I’m not changing my style or falling for *hot trends* as much these days. I did the same with denim jackets. I have about 8 of them, also different cuts, colors, and moods. I have space in my closet and will wear them once or twice a year each (except for the more snug ones). Same for my scarves too.

But if I ever want to wear a (blue blazer/ballet shoe/messenger bag/etc) again, is this the version I would want?" If the piece was never right to begin with, I let it move along. But if it's a great version of that item, I stick it in storage and don't worry.

Cocktail dresses and formal wear I’m also slow to throw out or at least the dresses that are expensive and well made. I’ll also add that you might be slow to get rid of purses and handbags that are excellent quality. The style may change, but vintage is always in style.

Thank you for this video about being mindful on what you declutter. I sold some vintage Coach bags some time ago, and I’ve regretted that decision.

I have good quality leather boots and flats (I don't wear heels) from more than 20 years ago. I kept them because I couldn't bear to part with things that were so nice, well made, and fit me comfortably, but I didn't wear them for about 15+ years because they all had square toes. And now - ta da! Square toes are back again, and I have a lovely wardrobe of shoes/boots for the cost of getting the leather refurbished or just shined up.

I almost spit out my food because I was thinking about silk scarves just a second before you introduced them hihi Indeed they have to be kept, especially because they are the easiest way to elevate an outfit ! And they do not take that much space in a closet

About 30 years ago, I decided (in my Hippie phase) that I would never wear silk scarves again, and I dumped all but a few. Big mistake! I still miss the ones I gave away. And now, I have piles/drawers/hangars full of scarves, with no plans to get rid of any of them!

I highly appreciate these tips as I'm looking to slightly change my summer/spring wardrobe! There are a couple trend pieces that I've realized I'm tired of wearing... That, plus I'm not someone who likes the head-to-toe, structured corporate style all the time. In place of those items I've decluttered, I'm adding more basics back into my closet that I can wear on an everyday basis, and that are appropriate for the job I currently have in reality.

Great advice, Audrey! I’ve never heard this before. As you spoke I recalled a royal blue blazer I donated. Your advice is brilliant! I never heard or read this advice from anyone else.

I recently downsized, so a major purge was necessary. I am pleased to tell you that my well-made blazers, coats, dresses, skirts, belts, handbags, and shoes made the cut. The trendy/“disposable” (often made of polyester and/or rayon) clothes and pieces in poor condition as well as my not-so-favorites were the ones that were eliminated. Years before the move, I just wish that I kept that designer blazer, which I felt pressured to get rid of, I will just say, during a terrible relationship. I also wish I kept the coat dress my mom wore in her twenties (that she herself thought I should donate to the local garage sale) and a Pendleton tartan skirt probably from the 1980s (I later found a fairly similar replacement at Poshmark.)

Hi Audrey, I've been following and loving your content for a while now, and want to request a topic for you to shed some light on. Could you talk about balancing fluctuating sizes with an intentional wardrobe? Currently I'm at a weight that's higher than usual for me, causing most of my clothing to fit poorly or just not fit at all. Part of me makes me want to go out and purchase new items, but I don't know if my current size will stay this way, and it would be a huge financial investment. So curious to hear your thoughts on this!

You are my favorite fashion KZitemr! Your style isn’t like mine but I would love to dress like you. Your videos are so helpful and I learn a ton from you. Have you done a video about belts? I’m not sure how to include them or which ones to buy to go with my outfits.

Funny you mentioned silk scarves 😅 I have a handful of vintage Hermes scarves that I was thinking about selling. But decided against it. I’m not wearing them rn but probably will in the future.
