CHRISTINE'S OWN CLOSET CLEANOUT · Uncluttered and Unfiltered: The Podcast For Women Over 50

0:04
Welcome to Uncluttered and Unfiltered, the podcast urging
0:08
you to let it go and don't look back, with nationally acclaimed
0:12
professional organizer Christine Stone and self-proclaimed Hot
0:17
Damn Mess radio and TV personality Eden Kendall.
0:21
Welcome everybody to uncluttered and Unfiltered, the podcast for
0:25
women over 50. My name is Eden Kendall
0:27
Christine Stone of neatly designed as a professional
0:29
organizer. And we have had episodes before
0:33
that are organizing based and not every episode deals with
0:37
organization. But when we do, after having as
0:40
many episodes nearly three years, we've touched on the
0:44
closet enough times where a lot of people can read the script
0:48
back to us. So please go back in our
0:51
archives and in search put closet.
0:54
You'll find a lot of episodes that'll start you from scratch,
0:57
including the organizing Aiden series.
0:59
But this is unique because today, friends, Christine Stone,
1:04
who keeps a very organized closet, she can't help herself,
1:08
right? Today she is going to share her
1:11
recent experience cleaning out her own closet.
1:14
Yes, that's right. She took her own advice even
1:17
though she, like I said, maintains an organized closet.
1:22
But this time she actually went in and as though she was her own
1:26
client. Right.
1:28
Did the thing. I sure did and it was painful so
1:31
I can relate to all my clients. I think it's probably a good
1:34
thing for you to every now and again put yourself through it so
1:36
you can. Yes.
1:38
Remember. Well, here's the thing.
1:41
I think when you're in your 20s and 30s and 40s, it's a
1:46
different closet clean out. When you're in your 50s and I'm
1:49
62, it's this one was a tough clean out for me.
1:55
And so and I was shocked because we were already going to talk
1:58
because it's spring and it's a perfect time to clean out your
2:02
closet and transition into different seasons.
2:05
But when I went to do it myself, it wasn't only about spring.
2:09
It was like, I, I'm not going to wear this anymore, ever.
2:14
Like it wasn't that there was anything wrong with it.
2:16
I my body's changed. Or maybe even on the inside of
2:20
your body where things don't feel.
2:22
They don't feel right. They don't feel right for the
2:24
first time ever. So you gave yourself a good hard
2:27
talking to. I did, and I mean, we'll go over
2:30
the the obvious things you do when you're going to clean out
2:34
your closet. And of course the first thing is
2:36
you want to remove everything and start from.
2:38
You did that. I did.
2:39
I removed everything and I only put back what IA 100% wanted to
2:45
wear. I had a maybe pile, which is
2:47
where I'm talking about how I felt like things had shipped it
2:52
and I tried them on and some of them honestly still had tags on
2:57
them. And I said what was I thinking
3:01
when I bought this? What frame of mind was I in?
3:05
Was my daughter with me? Cuz she's a culprit.
3:07
Sometimes she'll say mom, you look great in that.
3:10
And then I get sucked into it. Yeah, you know, buy it.
3:14
So out went the first thing was the tight fitting clothes.
3:18
Now, I wrote this down because I feel like there's a difference
3:23
between tight fitting clothes and defining your waistline
3:27
there. To me, that's a big difference.
3:30
OK, tight fitting clothes are like they fit tight everywhere.
3:33
They fit tight in your chest, they fit tight around your
3:36
booty. They fit everything.
3:39
It's a tight little dress. OK, gone, done over.
3:44
And even my daughter did what she normally does.
3:47
You still look great in that, which to me is the kiss of death
3:54
for your age. You know, I was waiting for her
3:56
to say that. It's like, how does your body
4:00
shift? You don't like your legs maybe
4:02
anymore your arms are a little flabby or your butt sagging.
4:08
You know gravity's. It's a thing.
4:11
It's the law, right? Not just a good idea, it's the.
4:14
Chest has changed. You know what I mean?
4:17
Your droopier, your larger, whatever it may be.
4:21
Your waistline has changed and you just don't feel the way you
4:26
did 10 years ago or five years ago.
4:29
So when you're cleaning out your closet, and I say this not only
4:33
to myself, but to everybody I help, you have to make your
4:36
closet for who you are today. I held on to those things for
4:41
like a year thinking, oh, I'll like them, I'll feel better in
4:44
them. But the reality is I'm 62, not
4:46
52. And people say, well, age
4:49
shouldn't matter. I'm sorry.
4:51
It matters to me at least. It matters because you, you
4:56
really, in my opinion, can look so amazing without trying to
5:02
look so youthful. You should look.
5:05
Fabulous without trying to look. Yeah, Hold on to your youth.
5:09
You know what I mean? You can look classy.
5:12
You can look elegant. You can look timeless.
5:15
You know what I mean? Yes, I do, I do because the, the
5:20
tight, even the jeans and we've talked about this, some of it is
5:23
a Florida thing just because we are in Florida, right.
5:26
And so we, I don't feel a lot of the year like even wearing
5:30
anything that's going to be heavy and tight.
5:32
However, I think it goes way beyond that because I don't even
5:35
want to be in an air conditioned room wearing something that's
5:38
super tight. Right.
5:39
Well, that's another thing we do live in Florida.
5:42
So to wear things like you said that are super tight in July,
5:46
you just are like that's. Not happening.
5:49
And then so let's get on the topic of shorts.
5:52
OK, let's. Do it now.
5:53
You're a runner. She has amazing legs.
5:56
Thank you. I'm going to say it right here
5:58
and now. I, on the other hand, am not a
6:00
runner. And you know, years of Miami sun
6:04
through my youth getting a little spotty on the legs, you
6:07
know what I'm saying? And just age in general, you
6:11
know, I've even talked to you about my knees look different,
6:14
you know what I'm saying? Everything changes.
6:17
So even shorts I went through and was like, oh, no, these are
6:23
like the shortness of them, how short they are to me.
6:28
I had to get rid of quite a few. They're just too short.
6:31
Too, too short. Yeah.
6:32
So that was eye opening because instead of getting depressed,
6:37
though, I said, I'm going to buy ones that are classy, timeless
6:42
and fit my figure for who I am now.
6:45
I'm not wallowing in this. So what do you do in that
6:48
instance? I'm just getting back to the
6:49
actual logistics of a You then make yourself a note.
6:52
You write that down so that you don't feel so I don't know,
6:56
afraid even to just get rid of a bunch of shorts.
6:59
You you have a list going saying this is how I plan to replace
7:02
these. Yes, I make lists.
7:04
Anything that I get rid of that I feel needs to be replaced,
7:08
it's just in my phone under notes.
7:10
But I make a list because when I'm out and about or if I'm
7:15
ordering, you know, my vitamins online and I see that I can
7:18
order something online from Amazon or whatever, I will, I
7:23
will order at the same time, whether it's undergarments,
7:27
socks, whatever. So, and that's another thing,
7:32
now that we're on the undergarments topic, I realized
7:35
I really needed a separate space because I have so many now.
7:39
Whether it's, you know, the Spanx underwear, the Spanx bras,
7:43
the Spanx cammies, the Spanx. And you like honey love too, by
7:46
the way, right? I have a whole one piece of
7:48
honey love. I mean you know where it's a one
7:51
piece shapewear and I wear those a lot now.
7:55
I mean where I didn't used to. Because of what makes you just
7:58
feel smoothed. Out.
8:00
OK. I feel like it makes you more
8:01
smoothed out and not so lumpy, you know?
8:07
So now you've had to createspace for something.
8:10
Created space OK for those or I did not before shoes.
8:17
All right, here we go. Here we go, here we go shoes
8:22
that did get me a little bit ladies, I'm going to be honest
8:25
because I was a high heel shoes girl on 5/2.
8:29
So I love me a heel, OK. But the last event I went to,
8:34
which was a few weeks ago, I wore like high heel stiletto
8:38
shoes and well, let's just say it took me weeks of foot
8:42
recovery and ice baths and, you know, going to the chiropractor
8:48
and everything else because I was in such pain.
8:51
My back hurt, my calves hurt anyway, So when I got back from
8:56
that wedding I did a huge shoe clean out.
9:00
OK, huge. So anything that you felt could
9:04
cause that kind of pain? Yes, you said no more.
9:08
No more, no more. I mean, I just.
9:11
Can't I have to think that that's a hard, the hardest thing
9:14
to do? Because shoes, good ones are
9:17
expensive and when you get rid of them you're feeling that
9:21
angst of I paid so much for these and I only wore them
9:25
twice. Well, the good news is my
9:28
daughter is my same shoes. That is good.
9:30
So that's the number one good thing.
9:32
OK, my daughter, can I just tell you my daughter wears a child
9:34
size 3 shoe. My God.
9:36
So I will not be wearing her feet.
9:37
Yes, I will not be wearing her shoes.
9:39
But anyway. The next thing I did was consign
9:42
some that she didn't want. So I do consign things that I
9:47
think are of value. Yeah.
9:49
So at least you get some something out of them and you
9:51
don't feel too bad. I have to tell you, that was the
9:54
hardest part were shoes. Nothing else really bothered me
9:58
as much as the shoes because I'm so short and I do like heels.
10:03
So I wrote down what I needed to replace with which was like
10:07
wedges or block heels and I went on and bought myself a couple
10:13
new pairs so that I would have something to wear.
10:16
If cuz all my pants also are hem to hire shoes sure.
10:20
So I can't just wear flats with them.
10:22
Right. And you're not going to buy
10:24
pants off the rack that aren't gonna be long when you're fine
10:27
when you're in your height. So I don't want to veer off of
10:31
the shoes too quickly. I love the ones you're wearing
10:34
right now. We've talked about this before.
10:35
They have a Velcro buckle instead of a buckle buckle,
10:38
which is nice because you don't have to put your readers on to
10:41
buckle your shoes. And when you bend over, you just
10:44
Velcro. You don't have to be down there
10:46
too long, yeah. I love the they I have a couple
10:49
pairs in different colors and that's another thing when
10:51
something does fit really well, especially a shoe, I often buy
10:55
in another color just so I because generally if you go back
10:59
a year from now or six, they don't make them anymore.
11:02
And then you're like, why didn't I order it in another color?
11:04
Anyway? So shoes was a whole nother
11:07
thing. Now I'm experiencing some foot
11:09
things and we are planning a whole episode on that.
11:13
National Bunion Day is coming up and we are going to make sure we
11:19
have a podiatrist, somebody that is knowledgeable to talk about
11:22
this kind of thing. And I'm more interested in this
11:25
than ever before because for the very first time, I had achy,
11:30
achy feet the other day. Just so much so that I felt like
11:33
it made my whole body not feel. Well, welcome to my world.
11:36
Well, I've never had that. Before it's.
11:38
Brutal. And I felt like I I was even,
11:40
you know, telling my partner here at the TV station, you
11:43
know, it's like when you get a hangnail, you get the one toe
11:45
hurts and your whole body hurts. So, you know, it's just.
11:50
High heels, I mean even even block high heels can be like
11:56
start the knee pain, the calf pain, the low back.
11:58
Yeah, when you get older. I I was a flight attendant and I
12:02
had to wear stiletto shoes. Oh my.
12:05
God it was. Required by the airline, you had
12:08
to walk through airports in stiletto shoes.
12:11
You had to be on the airplane in stiletto shoes.
12:14
You were allowed to change them to these, like, flat little
12:17
slippery looking shoes to serve, you know, food and beverage.
12:22
But then and before the flight ended, you had to put your
12:24
stiletto shoes back on when you walk down the aisle to make sure
12:28
everyone had their seatbelts on. And so I think that did a lot of
12:32
damage to my feet from yours. I imagine so.
12:35
Doing that and now I'm paying dearly for that.
12:38
But anyway, that's just a little.
12:40
Sidewalk. So that's a little thing you
12:41
could tell your daughters, but they won't listen, so don't they
12:43
bother? And another thing I did recently
12:47
is I never remove the tags or get rid of the boxes of for
12:52
shoes or clothes until I've tried shoes until I've walked
12:57
around my house, like for at least an hour in them.
13:00
I give it an hour because if they are still hurting my feet,
13:04
they go back in the box and I return them.
13:07
I did that last week. I returned 2 pairs because I
13:10
just couldn't make them comfortable.
13:12
And that's another thing I'm like, I'll make them
13:14
comfortable. You can't make them comfortable.
13:16
They're either comfortable or they're not comfortable.
13:19
In my opinion, yeah. And I took one pair to have them
13:24
stretched by the Shoemaker. Wait, what?
13:27
That's a thing you do. Yeah, you can have your shoes
13:29
stretch. OK, Actually, you know what I,
13:32
as I think about, I do remember I've had that I had to get for
13:36
some event, I was some wild race where we had to wear combat boot
13:41
kind of things. And I mean, I had to wear, they
13:44
said to wear, put them in a bathtub, and then you put on
13:47
three pairs of socks and tried to walk around in them for an
13:50
hour or two. So that must be what they do at
13:52
the. Yeah, I don't know, but it
13:54
works. They probably take your shoes
13:56
out and put them in their own bathtub and walk around.
13:58
And walk around in my shoes. So, man, yeah.
14:02
But it works. It really does work.
14:04
So if there's a pair that I absolutely love and the only
14:07
part is is like the width. Part.
14:10
But still, I keep the box because if they still fit the
14:14
same when I get them back, they go back.
14:18
Yeah, if they still kill my feet and they hurt, then it really
14:21
didn't work. You know what I mean?
14:23
So also with clothes, I can't tell you how many clothes I put
14:28
on, and I'll say I'll wear that later.
14:31
And then I don't wear it and I put it on again and I'm like, I
14:35
still don't want to wear that, which means it's going back
14:38
because I've tried it on twice now and I still don't like it.
14:42
So I'm a big advocate. I'm finding out about return
14:46
policies at stores before I ever buy any clothes from them
14:49
because if they don't have a return policy, I don't buy from
14:53
them. And if they have a terrible
14:56
return policy where you have like 7 days, I don't buy from
14:59
them. And you really should know a
17:39
return policy before you buy something.
17:43
I'll tell a story very quickly simply because we we think we're
17:46
going to be stretching this conversation into two episodes.
17:49
So I'll tell you very quickly. The skirt I'm actually wearing
17:51
right now is from Nordstrom Rack and I bought it in a size that I
17:57
thought would, I don't remember if I just didn't try it on that
18:00
day, but it's Nordstrom. I figured, OK, you know, easy
18:03
return. So I could not find the receipt,
18:06
but I had all the tags on it and I thought, OK, then I'll just
18:09
exchange it. Well, I went back and they were
18:11
not. First of all, I felt like it was
18:15
just the luck of the draw that the guy that was helping me was
18:19
kind of accusatory looking at me.
18:21
But it turned out we used our phone number so you could, they
18:26
could pull the receipt up. So my advice is always, even if
18:30
you don't want to join those little rewards clubs, you should
18:34
because they save your purchase in there.
18:36
And if you do lose the receipt, often times, I know at Ulta they
18:40
can do it. They can pull it up on your
18:41
phone number and they can instantly confirm that yes, you
18:44
did buy it from them. Well, or have them e-mail you a
18:47
receipt. That way you don't have to have
18:49
the hard copy. I always say that anyway because
18:52
it's just less clutter, like paper clutter.
18:55
If that's an option, take it, let them e-mail.
18:58
And then I have a folder that says receipts 2025 and then I
19:02
can put them all in there. And when I'm looking for
19:04
something, it's right there in the folder on my computer.
19:08
But that's so important, especially as you get older,
19:13
because your, your emotions on how you wear things changes and
19:18
you got you can't if keep the tags because if you feel like
19:22
taking it back, then you don't feel guilty because you just
19:25
never wore it. Once you take the tags off game
19:29
over. So you know, they, they really
19:32
don't want to take them back. I'm trying to think accessories.
19:39
Belts. Belts.
19:41
I don't know what happened. Some of my belts fit, some of
19:44
them did not. OK.
19:46
So that was another thing I had to say.
19:49
What the heck? OK, so going through all your
19:52
accessories, purses, clutches, I went through all of them.
19:57
Some of them were really fancy and dressy and I was like, I'm
20:01
never wearing this again. That's just not my lifestyle
20:04
now, you know what I mean? So going through items like
20:08
that, that maybe you used to go out a lot to really fancy dressy
20:13
events, now, I mean, I just don't hold on to the long beaded
20:18
gowns or those type because it's just not.
20:21
Where I go or what I do and so if I do need something, which is
20:25
very rare, I'll go and buy something for that occasion.
20:30
And you can always consign those type of items.
20:33
It's just they do want those type.
20:36
Of items and you know, I've been experiencing rental clothing
20:39
rental and I've really enjoyed it and I think if I had a very
20:43
fancy event to go to, I would 100% if it if we were a gown
20:48
kind of situation first look at some of the rental.
20:52
Companies. Absolutely, Absolutely.
20:54
Because then you just return it when you're done.
20:55
When you don't even have to get it cleaned.
20:56
Right, it's great. And another thing I did, and you
20:59
always laugh at me. But what I decided, even though
21:03
I've always been a neutral kind of gal, is as, as I have aged,
21:12
I've kept it very neutral. I mean, I'm, I'm always known
21:16
for wearing black, beige or white and then a pop of color in
21:21
a belt or a purse or a pair of shoes if I get brave enough.
21:25
But I I just think as you get older the pop of color should
21:30
maybe be in the accessories and not so much in like the shirt or
21:36
or the pants can be a pop of something but the blouse stays
21:40
simple. And that's for you because yes,
21:42
some people pride themselves on being like the bright, you know,
21:46
they what they feel great and because it elevates their mood.
21:50
So everybody is different, but like, it's very elegant what
21:52
you're wearing right now. The pop of color is actually a
21:54
metal and it's gold and it's very, you know, understated and
22:00
yet very eye-catching. So I I like that.
22:04
Well, you're welcome. Well, I also think I
22:06
accessorizing is so easy now because you like I.
22:11
I buy some jewelry from Bauble bar.
22:14
I don't know if you've ever heard of them.
22:15
Where is that? Oh, it's online and they sell
22:18
really great. Look for less jewelry.
22:21
So you're not spending $5000 on a necklace that is kind of
22:25
trendy. And then when the trend's over,
22:27
you're like, why? And it's Bauble bar.
22:29
Bar and I buy a lot of those type of items so you can dress
22:34
up an outfit, you can make it elevated with your earrings, but
22:39
I just feel like even traveling, keeping it neutral because you
22:42
can mix and match when you're traveling versus that one floral
22:47
blouse that OK, you have the one floral blouse.
22:51
I just you know, I save like any kind of prints or patterns for
22:55
like summertime in maxi dresses and that's another thing I've
23:00
really gotten into the maxi dress because of my legs.
23:04
Yes, I think that's another thing I've really embraced is
23:08
like the maxi sun dresses, the maxi, you know, dress you can
23:12
wear with a Jean jacket or a little jacket over it because if
23:16
you don't love your legs, it's a great way to look great.
23:21
I like the whole idea of stop worrying about it and just cover
23:26
it up, you know? Right, that's what I think.
23:29
I also, you know, it's funny you say that.
23:31
I started to say just stop thinking about it and cover it
23:34
up. Like I went and bought a lot of
23:36
like those ankle length, you know, summer pants and linen and
23:41
said, I'm going to stop worrying about it.
23:42
I'm just going to cover it up. So buying a lot and if you find
23:46
a pair of pants that you really love, that flatter your body,
23:50
that make you feel good, buy them in a couple different
23:53
colors, maybe black, beige, white, Navy, you know what I
23:58
mean? Red.
23:58
Just kidding. Yeah, no, Red, that stresses her
24:02
out. Just the very idea of it.
24:04
Let's see, what else? Sneakers.
24:09
That's my latest, latest obsession.
24:12
Why? Because my feet hurt all the
24:13
time. So sneakers.
24:15
Thank you. God, they are trendy now.
24:18
Very trendy. Very trendy, so that makes me so
24:22
happy. So of course I have a great
24:25
basic white sneaker that has a little platform, which I love.
24:29
I wore that to the golf tournament last weekend so my
24:32
feet wouldn't hurt. And then I have so many other
24:36
different types. I'm gonna have a leopard print
24:38
sneaker. Look at you.
24:42
For the Jaguar games and then, you know, so are you into the
24:46
sneaker? Yeah, I just got.
24:48
This the this the. I just, I just got a pair of
24:52
Reeboks that are white. I wanted leather, yes, for the
24:56
tournament, for the golf tournament that they have here
24:59
in in our city every year. I'm not a golf fan, but it's a
25:02
very social event and you do a walk around a lot and you do see
25:06
the women out there in their uncomfortable shoes.
25:09
And I always shake my head and think, OK, right, first rodeo.
25:14
But yes, so and I do like you. I like that they have a little
25:18
bit of a platform, but I'm going to start branching out too.
25:22
I like the idea of getting some patterns or some things like
25:25
that. That would be really fun.
25:27
And I live in that the I see this more and more too, but I
25:32
have a pair of shoes that are like, they're not Uggs, but
25:35
there are like an off brand of Uggs that are just.
25:37
And I just when I'm walking around the TV station, you can
25:40
see all of the anchors, all the reporters, everyone's wearing
25:42
them because nobody wants to stay in those high heels.
25:45
A. Day no, but I.
25:47
Can't believe in them, they would look ridiculous.
25:49
But you know, that's where a fun pair of sneakers has become very
25:53
on trend. You will see someone in a maxi
25:55
dress even with sneakers or or. A Oh, I saw that a lot.
25:59
Yeah, a lot, sure. And remember in the 80's, the
26:02
preppy, you know, where everyone would wear the suits in New York
26:07
City to go to work, but yet they had sneakers on.
26:09
Absolutely. Because they were walking
26:11
through New York City to their job and they.
26:14
And that was like a huge trend, yeah.
26:16
Of if you were a working woman, you would wear tennis shoes.
26:21
To work, but now I'm seeing the guys leaving them on all day.
26:24
Yeah. Oh, the guys are totally
26:26
embracing the casual shoe thing, I think.
26:29
Oh yeah. So really, I had to make room
26:31
more for tennis shoes because those outnumbered regular shoes
26:38
because, well, I work in tennis shoes too.
26:41
But I'm saying to even to go out, you know, I'm wearing
26:45
tennis shoes more. And so I think what you have to
26:49
know is as you age, things you used to be able to tolerate, you
26:55
can't. You just can't tolerate anymore
26:57
in fashion and so. Stop trying to take up space.
27:01
Well, I like the idea that you're realizing that you have
27:05
more room for this and less room for that.
27:08
So you need more room for tennis shoes and shapewear and
27:12
undergarments, and less room for the high heeled shoes.
27:15
Yes. And I also, I really have
27:20
decided to invest in maybe a little more pricier items as an
27:26
investment because I think if you can wear it year after year
27:32
after year, you've already paid your money's worth.
27:35
Other than some of the Amazon products I have received, and
27:39
I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying the ones I've
27:42
received, the quality is not that great.
27:45
It just, it isn't and it doesn't fit great.
27:49
And so I've really wanted to invest in like I invested in a
27:54
really nice blazer. I've worn it a million.
27:58
Times you. Have I've worn it so much and so
28:02
and it's comfortable and it's doesn't it wears well, you know
28:06
what I mean? Sure.
28:07
So I think as I have reached this age investing in certain
28:12
pieces, not all the time, but that I know I could wear year
28:17
after year especially. And by the way, no matter what
28:20
anyone tells you, cheap shoes are not comfortable.
28:24
You can wear them. I'm not saying you can't.
28:27
I mean, I have target shoes I wear.
28:30
I mean, but more expensive shoes and I don't know what they do to
28:35
them. I don't know if they line them
28:37
in gold or what they do to them, but they seem to be so much more
28:42
comfortable. And I mean, I haven't even
28:45
bought them. I've just tried them on.
28:46
I'm like, what is in these shoes that make them more comfortable?
28:50
It's it's. Is it the Levair?
28:53
I don't know, I wouldn't even try them on because I don't want
28:55
to ever know what I'm missing out on.
28:57
Oh, well, and that's the thing, I sat there and I looked at this
29:00
woman in the shoe department and I just did it just because I'm
29:04
like, I have to know, Yeah, what is it about?
29:08
And you're. Talking about like a Jimmy Choo.
29:10
Or no, not that Veronica beard, but they were like $400.
29:15
That's still very expensive. I was gonna say, I mean, you
29:19
know, that's still something I'm not buying.
29:21
But anyway, but I was interested because I loved the style.
29:26
It was timeless. It was beautiful.
29:28
So I said, OK, I'm just going to try it on.
29:30
Big mistake because that's all I've thought about ever since I
29:34
left that shoe store. But I said to her, what is it?
29:39
Why are they so comfortable? They even have a heel on them
29:43
and they are super, super comfortable.
29:46
And she's like. I mean, they can knock anything
29:49
off, why can't they figure it out?
29:51
I. Don't know but the and then of
29:52
course they've been on my brain but.
29:54
I mean if if Walmart has a Birkin bag now.
29:58
Right, right, the. Working so.
30:00
Hard a working. How come we can't have some
30:04
Jimmy Choos from the Walmart? Yeah.
30:07
So I thought it was definitely an adventure and it was really
30:10
great for me because I'm so spring is such a busy time in my
30:15
profession. So now I feel like I'm even more
30:18
connected to people because I've really, really looked at myself
30:22
and said this is. Hard.
30:25
I mean, this is hard as you age, you know, to really have a talk
30:30
with yourself and say times are different, my friend.
30:34
You know what used to work? Doesn't work anymore.
30:37
You know, I have an idea for a full episode that we can do
30:40
another day, and I know it doesn't sound at the surface
30:41
like it is one, but I think an episode entitled The Maybe Pile.
30:46
Yes. Yes, someone should write that.
30:48
Down the maybe pile maybe? Put that in your phone notes.
30:51
Write that down. No, I think that's a great idea
30:54
because the maybe pile can live for a couple days.
30:58
Yeah. It'll be faster because if
30:59
you're feeling icky. Right, like you're bloated or
31:02
you eat a. Piece.
31:03
Of that night or you know, you know what I mean like it's just
31:07
you feel yucky. It could you could be on the
31:11
fence about those clothes. It's just because you're having
31:14
a yucky day, right? But most of the time for me, it
31:18
wasn't that. It was like, you know, this ship
31:20
has sailed and you know, but like you said, that's.
31:25
Another title let's I don't know what it would be about, but that
31:28
Ship Has Sailed is a great title for an episode.
31:32
Yeah, when that ship has sailed. I love this.
31:35
Yeah. So ladies, the bottom line here
31:37
is OK remove everything out, get rid of the things you no longer
31:43
need, use love or make you feel good when you look at yourself
31:46
in the mirror. Can sign, donate, give to a
31:49
friend, a sister, color code your clothes.
31:52
It's so important to do because it prevents you from over buying
31:55
the same things you already have.
31:57
Change your hangers. Change them please, I'm begging
32:01
you. Make them all the one the same
32:02
color. Same thing.
32:04
Maybe think about the flat ones because those will save space.
32:06
Exactly, if you have a small closet, the slim line hangers
32:10
and above all keep a bag in your closet and if you try something
32:16
on and you're like I'm never wearing this again, don't hang
32:19
it back up, put it in the bag. All right, there you go.
32:23
OK, So what we've learned here is, well, first of all, we want
32:26
to tell you this. Please tell, tell our podcast
32:28
about just one friend and join us in our ladies only Facebook
32:32
group. That's the spiel for that.
32:35
So basically what I'm hearing you say is when it comes to
32:38
shoes that hurt your feet and all the other stuff, you can let
32:43
it go. And don't look back.
