hey guys it's Riann and today we are
going to be cleaning out my closet I
have to say I'm pretty embarrassed the
state that my closet is currently in is
a little bit atrocious but that's ok
I need to clean it out and I figured I
bring you guys along with me so I have
my trusty garment rack right here what I
was thinking of was I was going to
take everything that I'm going to keep
and put it on the garment rack and then
everything that I'm going to give to
Goodwill or take to sell at Buffalo
exchange or put on Poshmark I'll kind of
like just fully take out kind of put
over here and then I'll organize
everything the way I want it and put it
back in the closet at least that's what
I think I'm going to do I'm not like a
hundred percent sure but let's go ahead
and see how this goes I hope you're
bracing yourselves because this is what
we're working with my closet has not
been in this bad of a state in a very
very long time the way that I usually oh
gosh have to sneeze no it's not gonna
happen for me the way that I usually
organize this is I usually do it by
color and then within each color I do it
by sleeve length and then pants and pant
length sleeve length path like and then
next color so that's kind of what's
going on in here first of all the first
item that I have in here
we need help the first item I have in
here are a pair of these pants from
Stevie sister these are relatively kind
of like new to my closet so I'm going to
keep these over ha the next thing I have
not yet worn and this is from Everlane
I absolutely love Everlane they are
really committed to making things in an
ethical way and being very transparent
about pricing and about making sure they
pay people enough for the labor that
they're doing so I really like that I I
feel like I have to clean this because
like it's a little starchy but it is
basically this like pajama style shirt
that you could wear with like jeans and
I really liked it so definitely keeping
this haven't worn it yet really excited
to wear it
the next thing in here is my Stevie
sister tie top so I'll be keeping this
perfect for summer next we have an empty
hangar so I'm going to put the empty
on the other end of my rack oh I said
everything I was going to keep I was
gonna leave in here huh or I was going
to no yeah I said I was gonna put the
things I'm gonna keep on the thing right
yeah okay I'm still gonna do that this is so confusing
The next thing Ihave in here is my Tenley tea dress
from Stevie sister I love it oh I love this
piece
okay this I'm super excited for this for
spring this is a vintage denim Dolce and
Gabbana dress I'm definitely going to be
keeping this I bought this in Italy at a
vintage store and it has like the little
Dolce & Gabbana tag on the back here and
just it's very cool so I'm definitely
going to be keeping that and it'll be
perfect for summer as well there's next
thing I'm like super unsure about
because it is a DVF wrap dress 100% silk
it's classic it's everything I just
never wear it though so I don't really
know about that I think I have to keep
it because it's a DVF wrap dress and if
I get rid of this I just have that
feeling that like I will forever regret
it so I'm gonna try and work this into
my closet a little bit more next we have
this skirt that I got from Jing limited
recently and I just love that it's like
super flowy and it's made of tulle and
it's just it's so great so definitely
keeping that there also from Jing
limited they are kind of like I think
this is called a paper bag top pant but
basically you tie it at the top so I'll
be keeping that also this next item is
from Stevie sister - sorry all these
things that are newer from Stevie sister
and Jing limited have been on this side
so that's why they're all kind of the
same but this is the Seville skirt and
I'm obsessed with this skirt so
definitely keeping that as well these
next few items have been to the dry
cleaner the first one is my linen dress
from Mara Hoffman which I love so so
much I just love this yellow and the
other one is my theory trench coat which
I'm obsessed with as well but they both
just need to be cleaned
so I'm gonna need to find some hangers
for those and what else okay so I'm
probably gonna put these away because I
had them for fall kind of like on a
hanger but I probably don't need them
anymore because we're going into
spring/summer now but I have my Burberry
scarf these two are from Yves Saint
Laurent and then this is a red beret
this is definitely something I'm going
to keep this was originally from Lulu's
it's just a basic sort of like tank
top I don't know about this next dress I
wore this a lot the past I think past
two summers and Springs
um I just don't know how flattering it
is on me so this is a big maybe for me I
don't really know where to put this okay
I'll keep it for now and then okay I'm
gonna put a maybe pile maybe pile I wear
this when I'm gonna dress up this is a
Helmut Lang this is a raw silk dress I
absolutely love this it is just so
wonderful
good finally something we can let go of
this was a thrift find for me and it was
made but it's made by Lee dungarees I'm
actually gonna take it off the hanger
basically it's like a T back strap and
it's really cool it's knit I think I've
gotten my wear out of this one and I
think it's ready to find its next home
oh here we go I'm not sure about this
one this is a is a body suit from Lulu's
it's really flattering actually next
item is this sweater that says chic I
really love it in theory but I just
never find myself reaching for this so I
think it's probably best if I let it go
this is my All Saints leather jacket
this was definitely an investment for
peace for me I'll probably never get rid
of this this is by Sun and shadow and
it's a long shaggy like vest I think I
really really like it but I just don't
think it matches my style as well as it
could so I'm going to let this one go is
a velvet dress that I got while
thrifting and it fits me super super
well so I probably won't get rid of it
even though I haven't worn it lately but
it's just one of those things where it
fits me so well and it's a black dress I
think I should keep it speaking of
things that fit me well this doesn't
really flatter my body very well I don't
know why it's a like wrap dress you'd
think it would but something about it
just makes me look it's just not
flattering on my body type so I'm going
to let this go I'm really sad about it
because I didn't really wear it that
many times this next item is one of my
favorites it is a long velvet black maxi
dress and I love it so I'll be keeping
that for sure
this is an off-the-shoulder sweater and
it's really cool I like it a lot however
I
let me see this black off the shoulder
top as well so I probably really only
need one this one's a little bit comfier
for me so I'm gonna let this one go the
next item is this sweater it's really
cool because it's knit and it has like
all of these little it has like a really
cool kind of like design however I
didn't wear this at all that I can
remember this past fall winter so I
think I'm gonna let it go this is a
really cool Nike hoody I don't know why
it's hung up in my closet I need to fold
this up and put it in with my workout
clothes so next I have a famous black
blazer of course I'm gonna keep this
everybody needs one okay I don't know
about this this is kind of like a teddy
bear style coat it's black I have a lot
of black as you can probably tell um I
don't know if I want to keep this I
gravitate towards my theory trench coat
a lot more so I think this one this is
super comfy so I'm gonna keep this as
like around the house ware you know
when you downgrade your clothes from
being out in the world wear to around
my house wear that's what's gonna
happen with this guy he's cool he's got
like a little zipper on the side but I
just think it's been washed kind of a
few times so it's starting to look like
it's starting to pill a little and the
color is starting to go a little bit too
so I'm gonna keep this but I'm gonna put
it in with my like sweats this is my
mercedes-benz workout jacket again I
don't really know why it's hung up I'm
gonna put this in with my workout
clothes next I have my vintage denim
jacket this one is from Gap I love it so
much wore it the other day have another
pair of Stevie sister pants these are
incredibly comfortable so I am
definitely gonna be keeping these and I
love the stripe these are a pair of
pixie pants from j.crew I am really
upset that they discontinued these
because I love the fit and whenever I'm
doing anything that's like a little bit
more professional when you dress up a
little bit I love these pants for that
so definitely love the pixie pant these
are another pair of professional work
pants these are from Beta brand they
are professional work pants that are
made out of yoga pant material they're
super comfortable I have them in an
extra small petite yeah I reach for
these also when I'm doing something you
know a little bit more corporate these
next two items are formal dresses and so
they should really be I have another
closet on the other side where I keep my
formal dresses and so these should be
over there but these are both by likely
I love these
so so much so I'll definitely be keeping
these but I'm going to put these on the other
side so here I have two things on one
hanger which is going to drive me
ballistic so hold on let me fix that
really fast so this first thing is a
cream-colored
cami in 100% silk this is from Diane Von
Furstenburg I recently got this top it
is silk
it's from Everlane it's amazing I really
really like it so I definitely will be
keeping that as well this is a sheer top
I got six years ago I wear it all the
time still to this day I can't believe
it has held up this long and it has a
little pocket on the front right here
too so definitely keeping this really
love this top next I have my Stevie
sister wrap dress I love this dress so
much so this is definitely going to be
going in the keep another LA wardrobe
staple these are high-waisted Levi's its
cutoff shorts this is a black turtleneck
sweater wear it all the time this is an
asymmetrical white sweater from Jing
limited I really really like this so I'm
definitely gonna be keeping that up
until now things have been going really
smoothly but we were about to hit some
hard decisions I haven't worn this
sweater in a long time either but this
has just been one of the best thrift
store finds that I've had in my time and
I get so many compliments on this that I
just I feel like I can't I can't get rid
of it I didn't wear this this year in
winter did I how come I can't remember
winter it just ended I don't recall if I
wore this or not in the winter um this
is another maybe because it's from
theory which is one of my favorite
brands but I don't know what happened
because I was wearing this wearing this
wearing this and then all of a sudden it
started just shedding all over the place
so this is gonna be a maybe - next item
is a button-up Burberry and this had not
been something that has been in very
much in the past few years but I have a
feeling that this Burberry check is
gonna be pretty in for spring so I'm
keeping this Princess Diana dress
keeping you so I don't really know if I
want to keep this now that I have my
leather jacket from All Saints
I don't really reach for this anymore
it's pretty cool though and sometimes I
feel like I need to break up an outfit
with like some tan so I don't know what
I'm gonna do with that
but then I'm not sure pile okay I was
just thinking about these shorts because
I haven't seen them in a while and I was
like oh my gosh should I get rid of
those shorts I did not I got these so
many years ago I have no idea I think I was
in high school but they are a linen
neutral-colored short this is super on
trend for spring 2018 so I'm really
excited that I did not get rid of these
this is my theory jacket in army green I
don't really I haven't worn this in
quite a while I don't know what to do I
love it so much okay this is going in
the maybe pile I just I don't think I
can bring myself to part with this
because I have a feeling I'm gonna want
it later in life this is my Burberry
trench coat I will always always always
have this Burberry trench coat so I'm
going to keep that of course so to tell
you the truth I bought this at an
open-air flea market in Italy and it's
just a very basic like striped dress and
I have gotten almost gotten rid of this
several times and every time I almost
get rid of this very shortly afterwards
I wear it so I don't really know I think
I may be like in my head don't like this
dress that much but in reality it's just
a really great staple to have so I think
I should keep it because I actually do
wear it I've got two button up white
shirts these are great for corporate
situations so I will be keeping those
this is a really cute 90s neckline kind
of like blue dress so I'll be keeping
this because I think I think I like it
yeah this is a light blue turtleneck I
wore this not too long ago the blue a
trench coat from BCBG Max Azria yeah
it's really cool it's really 90s I like
that it's kind of shiny this dress has
little velvet flowers on it it's really
cute but I think the silhouette is
really similar to a lot of other things
that I have and I never wear this so
this is gonna have to go this is a dress
I got a long time ago this is from Urban
Renewal the line at Urban Outfitters
made from you know up cycled fabric I
love the silhouette I love wearing this
this is just a great it's a great
weekend dress you know this is a navy
maxi dress and I really haven't worn
in a long time but it's an it and my mom
told me that I should hold on to this
and when she says things like that I
listen because she's very wise so I'm
going to keep it this is a pair of
flared bottom jeans I don't really wear
these that often but when I want my legs
to look super long I do reach for these
so I think I'm gonna hold on to these
for a little bit longer see what happens
I reach for this sweet pink sweater all
the time in the winter time I've had it
for quite a few years so I'm gonna keep
that this is my millennial pink trench
coat this is originally from Banana
Republic but I got it at the thrift
store and I loved it so much this is a
pair of red pants that originally I was
really excited about getting but the
more I wore them the more I just didn't
think they flattered me that well and I
actually just ordered a new pair of red
pants because I want red pants but I
just don't think the fit of these is the
best it could possibly be for me so
these are going to go out I really like
this Tommy Hilfiger sweater in
theory I've worn it a couple times um
but I just never reached for this I'm
never like oh my gosh I can't wait to
wear that tomorrow no I'm not so this is
gonna go actually have some clothes that
are stacked right here and they are
going to be heading on their way out
this tank top and this is from Helmut
Lang it pains me so deeply to get rid of
this because it's from Helmut Lang and
it's so cool but I think it's time to
let it go I've had it for a few years
you know I've worn it quite a bit
actually had some good times in this
tank top but you know it's it's time
this is another Helmut Lang piece it is
a really cool long sweater and it's
olive colored I know my mom is going to
want this so badly so she can have it
a lot of these other things I just kind of
have already gotten a over alright so my
maybe pile is right here which is only
one two three four five six things which
is pretty good and then these dresses
just need to go on the other side with
the rest of my formal dresses so then
over here these are all the clothes that
I'm going to be keeping so the way I'm
probably going to do this is like creams
whites blacks and then you know red
orange yellow green blue purple but
backwards so let's see how that works
out I'm not really sure so these white
pants are here white top goes here this
is a white top with no sleeves so it
goes before the white top with sleeves
let's see I'm gonna pull some other
stuff over so these are like white
shirts with sleeves so these will go
right here did you um let's see what
else is white these are like creams so
cream will go right here next these are
definitely cream this is cream this is
actually more tan so let's do tan also
in its own little in its own color area
um okay this is like a tan Burberry tan
right um this I actually I don't know
I'm actually gonna put this in my
drawers because I just don't think this
needs to really like hang because the
only time I ever wear this is like if
I'm taking it on vacation no I don't
know I'm going to keep this um because
it's really good for vacation so I'm
actually just going to fold it up and
keep it in my drawers okay I think
that's pretty much everything in that
color story so I really don't have that
many prints but because this is both
black and tan I'm going to put it
between tan and black um so as far as
bottoms go I'm going to put these skirts
over here let's see these are black
pants so I will do the pants before the
skirts I'm gonna put these in the black
color story because there's more black
in them than there is like tan um let us
see what else is black here this is
black this is a black sweater these are
black this is a black okay these are
black like dresses so I'm gonna put my
dresses with the dresses over here these
black top this is a black blazer so the
Blazer will go after the tops just
because it's like even if the sleeve is
a little bit shorter which it's not it's
long but I put like the more the
outerwear between the like longest
sleeves and the pants so it'll go
like tank tops short sleeves long
sleeves outer wear pants dresses kind of
I don't know I'd usually kind of just
like put those in with the sleeve length
I don't really like categorize them
based on you know like being dresses I
just kind of like put them in with the
tops I love my dry cleaner so much um
they really go the extra mile and I
really never dry clean my clothes to be
honest so I dry clean my clothes
probably like three times a year it's
like once a quarter I'll dryclean those
things that I need to drycleaned so we're
gonna do the rainbow backwards like I
said before I don't wear any purple so
we're gonna go to blue um so as far as
that goes let's see let's do light blue
first or should we do a second oh let's
do it second let's see these are pants
so I'm going to take the pants and put
them here or ones at skirt and then I
have outerwear this is going to go in
between because this isn't really light
or dark this is very true blue these are
I would say light blue so put them here
this is a navy dress so it will go here
and I've got my shorts which will go
before this will go in the middle - yeah
that's good um maybe dress no this is a
longer sleeve do that and this is a
denim so I'll put it right here with the
other denims and yeah now blue is all
sorted doesn't it look so nice I love
doing it by color you really do so this
is black and white so since it's both
I'm just gonna put it on the very end
before the whites because it's kind of
like a grey and hopefully that won't
drive me crazy we will see so I was
going to do the rainbow backwards but I
think I like this a little bit better so
I'm just gonna put pink next to blue and
then I'm gonna have this dress and then
I'll have my yellow okay so now I'm just
gonna go ahead and take all of this and
put it in my closet
thank you guys for coming along with me
