00:00Staying, staying, staying, staying, staying.
00:03I don't need two of these, I guess.
00:05I'm Beatrice, a video producer at Refinery29
00:08with a side hustle as a personal organizer.
00:11This is Annie, fashion editor at large at Refinery29.
00:14And these are most of my clothes.
00:18I help people transform their spaces
00:20by changing the way they think about their stuff.
00:22Step into my office.
00:24Let's see it.
00:25My problem is this.
00:27I have a lot of clothes.
00:28I like clothing.
00:30It makes me happy, it brings me joy.
00:32It's a collection that I've always been tinkering with, curating.
00:36I'm a thrower, I'm a smusher, I'm a shover.
00:38This has gotten out of hand and I'm ready for some serious help.
00:43It's just a lot of stuff.
00:45And I think people rarely take the time to assess what they have.
00:50There are things in here you haven't worn yet, right?
00:52Yeah.
00:53All that's coming out, this coming out, this, all of this.
00:56You take that, I take this.
00:59We're gonna empty the whole thing and just end up with the stuff that you love.
01:02My heart's beating very fast right now.
01:05Let's do it.
01:06All right, it's time.
01:26I feel nauseous.
01:28Why?
01:28I am very, very, very overwhelmed.
01:30T-B-H.
01:32There is an attachment because I grew up not really buying really expensive clothing.
01:38Things have value beyond the label.
01:40It's about what they represent, how they make you feel.
01:43I love all of these pieces.
01:45They do bring me joy.
01:47And yet, and yet.
01:54These are a keeper for sure.
01:56Next.
01:56Keeping.
01:58Now these.
02:00Obvious keep.
02:01This needs a little glue, but these were a gift for my friend.
02:05They say, when I found these, I realized they're kind of how you make me feel.
02:09I can't get rid of them.
02:10It's a card.
02:11I see a price tag, never worn.
02:14But that doesn't mean I won't wear them.
02:18It's the same thing.
02:19They're not the same.
02:21The higher ankle on this makes all the difference.
02:24She has a reason to keep every single thing that she owns.
02:28So it's going to be really hard.
02:29We have to get rid of some stuff.
02:32So we have stuff that we still have to go through.
02:36Stays.
02:37Stuff we're keeping.
02:39That is my favorite shirt.
02:42One of.
02:43Stuff I need to try on and decide.
02:45Oh my gosh.
02:46And is this where it just like covers the hoo-ha?
02:48It just covers the giveaway.
02:51Like I'm not going to Burning Man, so.
02:54Sell.
02:55We are making so much progress.
02:59Keeping.
03:00Okay, I'll get rid of these.
03:03I don't want to, but I'm doing it.
03:08We did it.
03:09We did it.
03:10You did it.
03:10You did it too.
03:12Thanks.
03:13It feels good to purge.
03:15It does.
03:16I think this is going to be like an awakening.
03:19I shouldn't let it get to this.
03:20Good riddance.
03:21Get rid of it.
03:22Burn it all.
03:22No, just kidding.
03:23I'm going to donate it.
03:24I'm going to give it to my friends.
03:25And it really brings me joy to see it go.
03:31So I'm going back in.
03:32I'm putting everything back in a place that makes sense.
03:35Dresses with dresses, blouses with blouses, et cetera, et cetera.
03:38Starting with the biggest items first.
03:39I'm putting all of her dresses to the far right.
03:41Everything that's super long will be in the corner where it won't get fussed with.
03:45Right where your eye hits is where I'll keep things that are a little bit more open.
03:48So you can see the floor if she wants to put shoes down there.
03:51I try to get rid of any of those flimsy dry cleaners hangers just because they don't look nice.
03:56I'll put them on nicer hangers that kind of blend in instead of stick out.
04:01It'll be a clean slate.
04:07You ready?
04:16You're a genius.
04:19Do you like?
04:20I love it.
04:23Oh my god, those hangers make all the difference.
04:27Wow.
04:28How about the shoes?
04:29Like get the shoes on display, right?
04:31Shoes on display.
04:33What?
04:34I am so jazzed about this.
04:37I'm glad.
04:37Beyond.
04:38You're a life changer.
04:39You do boss work.
04:42You're welcome.
04:44I'm gonna go hang out with my new closet.
04:45Bye.
04:46Well, I hope you learned a little something about cleaning out your own closet.
