Do you ever open your closet and stare at the rows and rows of clothes and think I have nothing to wear, even though it's literally bursting at the seams? You pull out jeans that don't fit, tops that once made you feel confident, but now feel off. And a dress that's been hanging there since your last kid's preschool graduation, and now they're in high school. And yet you still can't bring yourself to get rid of them because maybe they'll fit again. Or maybe they represent a version of you that you're not quite ready to say goodbye to. Exactly. So what if cleaning out your closet isn't just about organizing your space? What if it's about rediscovering yourself? Welcome back to Midlife and Glowing. I'm Alicia. And I'm Nicole. And today we're diving into something that's equal parts style therapy and self discovery. Your midlife closet reset. Because let's be real. At this stage of your life, your closet can feel like a museum of who you used to be clothes from your corporate years, your stay at home years, your I'll start working out again years. And somewhere between all those eras, it's easy to lose sight of who you are now. Today we're talking about how cleaning out your closet can actually help you reconnect your identity, your confidence, and your energy, and we'll walk you through how to do it without overwhelm or guilt. This episode is actually part one of a little two part series we're doing on closets and confidence, so grab your cup of coffee or tea or maybe your favorite mocktail because we're about to make your next closet clean out, empowering, and a fun act of self-care. You know, I think it's easy to underestimate just how emotional a closet can be. I mean, sure it's clothes, but also memories, identities. And expectations all hanging there on little plastic hangers. Oh, for sure. And I think especially in midlife, you know, your body's changing, your roles are shifting. Maybe your career looks different or your kids are growing up, your wardrobe ends up being kind of a mashup of every version of you. Right. Yeah. And I'll say, I especially feel this lately. You know, I have a whole portion of my closet, uh, for when I used to go to the office and I had my corporate girl outfits. And, and I haven't worn those in years. And now my daughter is, she's doing an apprenticeship right now, so she's working in an office and she has to wear, you know, business clothes every day to work. She's been digging into that section of my. Closet that I haven't, you know, seen or looked at or used those clothes in, in so long that it's actually making me feel, you know, a little nostalgic and it mm-hmm. It kind of makes me miss it a little bit. Not necessarily the job, but the connection and the identity that I had during those years. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I can definitely relate to that. I also have a bunch of professional outfits that I see every day. That. I mean, I honestly don't know if for one, I'd wear them again, but, but I'm having a hard time thinking about getting rid of them for some reason. You know? Um, and it is a little bit nostalgic. It makes you think about the, the time of your life when that was your identity. That was how you dress. That was how you, you know, put yourself out there in the world. And, you know, it, it's interesting. I went, I mean, when you go into your closet every morning, it feels a little bit like your past is staring back at you for sure. In, in that situation, you know? Like, remember when you used to fit into this or used to wear me when life looked like that? I mean, it's also no wonder women feel stressed or deflated just trying to get dressed in the morning. Right? And you know, I've noticed that women often blame themselves like, mm-hmm what's wrong with me? That nothing fits right anymore, but really nothing's wrong. Your body changed, your life changed, and your style just hasn't caught up yet. You know, I really wanna emphasize. The styles change, you know? Yeah. What once worked, you know, in the past, like the low-rise jeans, gosh. Mm-hmm. My closet was full of those in high school, but now I can fit into a low-rise jean, but absolutely not. I am not comfortable in them. Like, no, I, I like a higher waist. That's my comfort. Mm-hmm. I like to kind of feel, uh, let's call it secure. Uh, yeah, let's call it secure. So, you know, I like that. But it's funny because I often clean up my closet. Um, but there are a few pieces that have stayed in my closet and have not made the cut, you know, since high school. Mm-hmm. And, you know, I have a pair of, jeans that I kept. They were my favorite jeans in high school. Uh, they were leis, uh. Loved them. And it's funny because I took'em out and I'm like, and I showed my daughter, I'm like, these were my favorite jeans in high school. And she tried'em on, she loved them. She wears'em now. So, you know, there are a few pieces that's awesome that mm-hmm. You know, are worth keeping. And another piece that I, uh, hung onto, and it's funny because now it's back in style, uh, is Birkenstock Clogs that I had in war in, in high school. And now they're, they're back in fashion, so mm-hmm. Sometimes it pays, to keep mm-hmm. Some of the pieces. yeah. But as long as it's not Right. What makes up the majority of your closet? Because Yeah. When you're just standing there staring at pieces that don't fit, that don't make you feel good, then That really is defeating the purpose of. Right. Using, yeah. Feeling good in your, clothes, your identity, and your skin. Right? Yeah. Using style as a form of selfcare, right? Mm-hmm. For sure. Yeah. I mean, if you do keep too many of those too, like we often talk about clutter, right? Whether it's physical or mental, that impacts your nervous system. So your closet could potentially be a source of dysregulation for you. If you're surrounded by things that remind you of who you used to be. It keeps you in a stress loop. Yeah, for sure. You know when you're standing there in the morning thinking, Ugh, nothing fits. It's not just indecision, it's frustration, guilt and identity confusion all rolled into one. And decision fatigue too. The average woman makes over 35,000 decisions a day. And if your morning starts with 40 micro decisions just to get dressed, that's energy. You don't get back. Yeah. You know, I think I'll throw a little quick style tip in here, ladies. Get yourself some good two piece sets that takes the guesswork outta getting dressed like. Mm-hmm. When you have those two piece sets, you can get ones that are of course more like a sweatsuit, but you can get some really chic looking two piece sets that are still comfortable. Mm-hmm. That still put, you know, like are very put together and boom, no more decisions. You know, I love that. Top bottom done. Don't have to worry about putting together an outfit already done, or speaking my language. Yep, exactly. I like this. So, you know, I think a closet clean out is more than just spring cleaning. It's energy clearing. So you're literally creating space for the woman you're becoming. So let's start with the signs. If you're listening and wondering, do I actually need to clean out my closet? Let's go through the checklist. Number one, you wear the same three outfits on repeat. Number two, you have clothes you haven't touched in over a year. Number three, you've got jeans in five different sizes. Just in case. Number four, you feel worse, not better after opening your closet. And last, number five, you're holding on to clothes that fit a version of you that does not exist anymore. If you nodded to at least two of those, you're overdue for a reset. And this isn't about guilt, it's about freedom, right? And I like to think of it as an inventory of your energy, not just your wardrobe. What's taking up space that's not serving you? And the interesting thing is when you start letting go of physical clutter, your brain follows. Studies show that decluttering reduces cortisol levels. So this isn't just aesthetic, it's physiological too, which is why we're calling it a midlife closet reset. Not a purge, because it's not about getting rid of everything, it's about realignment. And I can absolutely attest to this. I had a closet in my office that was kind of a catchall for everything. Not necessarily clothes, but after I went through and organized and decluttered. Oh my gosh. I felt so much better decluttering. It just really, it makes such a big mental difference. Oh, a hundred percent. I couldn't agree more. Um, I had a death pile on my kitchen counter. That's what I was referring it to it as, because it was kind of like a catchall, like something in the mail came. Then I'm like, oh, I might have to do something with this, or, you know, whatever. The kids would burn something home, put it on the pile, and I'm like, I'll get to that pile. I'll get to it. And then it just became this. Overwhelming like monster and yeah, then I just like, I never got to it'cause I'm like, oh gosh, if I start, you know, whatever. And then I decided, okay, you know what it was every time I'd look at it, which you're in your kitchen a lot, and to have like a space that was just constantly giving me like anxiety, I'm like, you know what? That's it. Yeah. Enough is enough. I need to tackle this death pile. And I did. And it wasn't even that bad. Like it didn't even take me nearly as long as I thought it was. But it was just all like the action of doing it, right? Like it was, I built it up more in my head. And I think we often do that about things, you know, especially, oh yeah. You know, like a closet clean out or you know, whatever it is. And I can say that I feel so much lighter now walking into my kitchen. not seeing that pile anymore. It's clean, right. Counter space, and it just feels good. Yeah. Knowing that I, you know, I kind of have my shit together right now. I mean, that might change, but like currently I really have my shit together. Currently. It feels good. Yes. Yeah, and I think that's, you know, often how you feel when you tackle these types of things, you know? I, mm-hmm. Personally, I like to do a closet clean out like multiple times a year. You know? Mm-hmm. You can do it as many times as you want, but when I start to, you know, kind of pass over the same thing over and over again, I'm like, uh, it might be time that I let that go. So maybe I need, mm-hmm. I have other pieces that I should, that I need to let go as well. So maybe it's time to do a kind of a cleanse. and I know my daughter always likes it when I do a closet cleanup because she winds up, uh, filling her closet too. I, I always give her first dibs of, that's always fun. Mm-hmm. She gets first dibs on, uh, what comes outta my closet. So she's not mad about it, although she still is like, mom, don't you need to do a closet cleanout again? Exactly. I think you're about to. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sometimes what I will do if I'm like, uh. Closet's getting a little full and I haven't mm-hmm. You know, I think it's a good rule of thumb if you bring stuff in, you need to take stuff out. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And sometimes I, I don't always get a chance to do that. Um, so if it's starting to feel a little more full than I can handle, I'll tell her, Hey, go in my closet and choose five things that you would love to have in your closet, and I'll see if I'm okay. Parting with them. And oftentimes, well, that's fun. Yeah. She'll pick things that I don't, that I'm okay with parting with, so. Mm-hmm. And the bonus there is that it's actually still in your house. Exactly. Right. So if you wanted to wear it again, you could. Exactly. For sure. For sure. So, oh, that's awesome. Okay, let's get practical. I wanna share the five step framework I personally use and also teach inside our midlife glow edit style guide for doing a closet reset that actually sticks. Step one, set aside an hour. This isn't a when I have time. Project block one hour. Literally put it in your calendar where you won't be interrupted. Phone on silent door, closed. Maybe your favorite playlist going. There we go. Let's make it fun because if you wait for the perfect time, it won't happen. Treat this like a self-care date with yourself. One hour that's all about clearing out the noise and making space for ease. Yes, and remember, your goal isn't to finish your whole closet. It's to start, and you'll be surprised how much clarity and energy that first hour gives you. Okay, step two, do a fast first pass. Now, this is where the magic begins. And I mean quick magic. Do a fast sweep through your closet and pull out anything that's obviously worn out, outdated, or you know, deep down you'll never wear it again. I think that's such a great idea of doing a fast first pass because I know like the longer you give yourself time to think about, like if you know, okay, I haven't worn that in a year or a half, you know, I know that this, when I wear this, it just doesn't feel right. But there's some reason that you're just like still hanging onto it. Like just quick like tear off the bandaid. Just go for it. Yeah. This is the low hanging fruit, the sweater that pills beyond repair. The jeans that just don't fit right anymore. The someday dress that you've been side eyeing for five years? Yes, and don't overthink it. Like I said, go with your gut. If it says it's done, it's done. Toss those straight into a donation or recycle pile. Or if you have a daughter or a friend or a family member that you think would like it to give them dibs at it, those quick decisions build momentum. Step three, try on what's left. Once you've done that first, pass, what's left deserves your attention. Try things on. Yes, actually put them on your body. Focus on fit, comfort and how you feel, not how you wish you felt. You know, I actually will sometimes tell my daughter, okay, I'm going to clean up my closet. Can you just be around to give me an opinion? Because it's okay to be unsure too. Yeah. You know, like if you're like, Hmm, I think I really like this. Sometimes it's nice to have that. Confirmation too from a friend or a family member, whatever that can tell you. This is where you ask the three big questions. Would I actually wear this next week? Does this fit my body as it is right now? Is this aligned with how I wanna show up? And if the answer is no to any of these, it's time to let it go. This isn't about size trends or guilt, it's about honoring your present self. And don't forget to check in with your body. If something makes you fidget, suck in or slouch, your nervous system is telling you it's a no exactly. And clothes should make you feel grounded and confident. Not self-conscious. And I'll also say that, you know, when you're going through your closet, you discover pieces in your closet that you maybe were like hidden behind something else, or you didn't even realize were in there. So it's like opening this new world now it might become a new favorite. I have had this happen, or I've gone through my jeans and I'm like, oh my gosh, I forgot about these. They were hiding behind the others, you know, because you just put back and if you can't see all of your clothes. Sometimes they hide behind other things and you know, you discover new favorites again. So it's actually pretty fun. Yeah. That's funny you say that because I was just thinking about this the other day, the fact that, um, so you know, it's just Chris and I, we don't have kids and I keep up with my laundry pretty good. So, which means that I'm always. You know, I feel like I'm always pulling stuff from like the top of my drawer, so I'm wearing like the same, you know, four T-shirts or the whatever, four pairs of pants or whatever it is, over and over, but it's because they're on top. So, you know, doing this kind of thing is a really a great way to, like you said, kind of discover things that you totally forgot about because you just don't see them. Right, right. It's, it's absolutely visual. You know, it's kind of funny. Mm-hmm. I was like, I have a lot of clothes. Feels like a confession. Yes. I love fashion. Okay. It's my passion. Um, so I have a lot of clothes and. I have different places for them. Uh, maybe in the house. Let's just say that. That's not just all in my closet. Okay. And, um, I have a cabinet in my office where I have jeans. Not all of my jeans, but did all a good chunk of jeans and I can't see them all. Like I, and I don't have a great way to organize them that I can think of, you know, to see them all. So I kind of went through'em all and I pulled out all my jeans.'cause I'm like, I need to organize these better. I don't even know, you know what I have. And I'm, as I'm going through them, I'm like, wow. Why did I stop wearing these? And it was because they're at the bottom. I can't see them. Mm-hmm. You know, so I took a picture of my space and what I'm working with, and I asked you at GPT, how can I better organize these jeans so I can see them better? And it gave me a really great idea. So nice. I actually score. That's gonna be my next project, but I have to get a, I have to order a couple of dividers and things, but you know, sure. If you can't see it, then it's not serving you. So you need to find a solution and maybe you have too much. And in my case, that's probably the case, but that's okay. You know what, I'll wear that badge. when I die, she was a woman with 800 pairs of shoes. And that's okay. We all have to have our things. We, she left behind quite a collection. Yes. We all have to have our things, you know, some people collect Yeah. Figurines and mm-hmm. Whatever, stamps outta coins bells, right? There's some endless amount of things that you can collect and I am a collector of shoes and clothes, uh, but in a manageable way. I have my organization and I often go through and cycle. So let's move on to the next step. Step four, be honest about the just in case pieces. Here's where it gets real. The just in case pieces. Just in case I lose 10 pounds just in case I go to the fancy dinner just in case I go back to that job. if you haven't worn it in a year and it doesn't spark confidence, it's time to let it go. Those clothes are tied to old energy, old stories about who you used to be and holding onto them keeps you from fully stepping into who you are now. Exactly. Bless them, thank them and pass them on. Someone else might love that blazer that no longer fits your life. Okay. Lastly, step five, organize what's staying. Now comes the fun part, putting your space back together so it actually supports you. Group your clothing by type, tops, bottoms, layers, dresses, outerwear, and within those you can color code or arrange by season if you're feeling extra inspired. I know I like a good color coded moment. Oh yeah, I know you do. Uh, friends, when Alicia and I were kids, we shared a room for several years and she was so messy. This girl had stuff everywhere. She never made her bed. Clothes were everywhere. She was a mess, an absolute mess. And, you know, everything was everywhere. And a, a few years later, you know, I go off to college and I remember coming home from college one summer. And I went into her room everything was spic and span, and her closet was literally color coded and each item of clothing was hanging like a perfect one inch apart. I was like totally floored, but I do love this part. It's where you can start to see your actual style patterns, right? You'll notice what colors or silhouettes you gravitate towards, which makes shopping and dressing so much easier later. Yes, for sure. But I do have to say yes, I was an absolute mess for sure, but now I'm definitely more of a clean freak, uh, much to the annoyance of my children. But yeah, I like a good color coded, organized moment. You know, it was kind of funny because, uh. When I used to have friends come into my room when I was, you know, still at home growing up, they knew that I had a, everything in my room had a spot. So if I would leave the room, they would change around some things and I'd come back and I knew immediately what had been changed. Uh mm-hmm. You know, I'm sure there's, they're messing with you. They were messing with me, and I knew, and I'm sure there is definitely a, uh, diagnosis for this, but you know what? That's okay. That's all right. I'm, could be worse. Could be worse. Could be worse. Yeah. Okay. Moving on. When your closet is organized and only filled with things that feel good, getting dressed in the morning becomes a calm, confident ritual instead of a stress test, and it's one of the easiest ways to start your day regulated. Less clutter equals less stress. Exactly. And when you're done with the clean out, take a deep breath and set an intention for this new space. Something like, I only wear what supports who I am now. Love it. You're not just changing your closet, you're changing your relationship with yourself. Exactly. And that's what the midlife glow edit is all about. Making style, a form of self-respect, not self-critique. And if you're sitting there thinking. Okay, I cleared it all out. Now what do I actually wear? We've got you next week's glow bite is all about rebuilding your wardrobe without overwhelm, without spending a fortune, and without losing your style. In the process, we'll walk you through how to add new pieces that actually fit your body, your life, and your vibe right now. And yes, this thrift store totally counts, right? And I wanna take a minute to talk about why cleaning out your closet impacts your health. Because your environment and your nervous system are directly connected. When you see clutter, your brain registers unfinished business. It's like a low grade alert system constantly pinging in the background, which means higher cortisol, more fatigue, and more anxiety, which is why your death pile made you feel so anxious. Yeah, for sure. I totally feel that. It's like visual noise and when you clear it. Your parasympathetic nervous system, your rest and digest mode that we talk about all the time activates. So you literally breathe deeper, feel more calm. Yeah. I notice that every time I finish a clean out, it's like my brain sighs with relief. It's like my parasympathetic nervous system has been activated. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It literally is. And from a wellness standpoint, this is self-regulation. It, it is a simple way to calm that nervous system. And who knew tossing out old sweaters could actually double as a nervous system. Support. Hey, I love it. It's all connected. We'll take it. Let's touch on the emotional layer of this for a minute, because sometimes it's not the clothes you're attached to. It's who you were when you wore them, right? The dress from your honeymoon, the blazer from your dream job, or the jeans from before hormones hit. Letting them go can feel like closing a chapter, and it is right, but in the best way. Every item you release is a little energetic declaration. I'm done trying to fit into my past. Exactly. And midlife is such a beautiful time for that. It's not about loss, it's about refinement. You're becoming more you. Mm-hmm. It's like pruning a plant. You're cutting away what no longer serves so that new growth can come through. And if that doesn't deserve a good Mel Robbins High five habit in the mirror, I don't know what does. Amen. I'm always up for a good Mel Robbins moment. Absolutely. Alright, now speaking of letting go of clothes that no longer serve you after your closet cleanout session, if you find yourself with a big donation or recycle pile, another great option is to resell some of those pieces. I personally love using Poshmark. It's easy, it's quick and it's fun way to give your clothes a second life while earning a little extra cash. You can even put what you make towards your closet rebuild, or as I like to call it, your fun fund. So at the end of my own closet, cleanouts, I usually. I usually end up with three piles, and that's after I let my daughter go through. Mm-hmm. What I'm getting rid of. one to donate, one to resell, and then one to recycle. It keeps the process organized and intentional, and it makes it feel a little more rewarding too. Hmm. I love that. And I'm a big fan of that fun fund you mentioned. That's such a good idea. So once your closet is reset, keeping it intentional becomes a ritual. It's not, ugh, what do I wear? It's how do I wanna feel today? Yes. Style is energetic. It can shift your mood, boost your confidence, even your productivity. I know for me personally, if I'm in something that makes me feel good, I wanna do all the things that day. Mm-hmm. It really makes you feel like you can take on the day. It really boosts your mood. Um, I know one night my daughter, she hadn't had the best day that day, and at the end of the night she said, I just want tomorrow to go better. So I'm gonna wear a cute outfit. And it really goes to show that style really has an impact on how you're feeling at every age and every stage. I love that. That's awesome. I know that when, you know, I went from as many of us did working in the office every day, to when COVID hit, then you're having to work from home. So, you know, when I was in the office, hair and makeup clothes every day, so five days a week. Mm-hmm. And then when we were home, it was like, okay. I can stay in my pajamas. It was like a novelty, you know? And, because you thought, oh, this is temporary. I'll be going back to the office and it's like, I can wear my pajamas all day long. And then it, the days began to turn into weeks to months and you're not putting yourself together. And that started to take a huge toll on my mental state. You know, I looked in the mirror, I'm like. I don't even recognize myself anymore. I'm not putting in the effort. I'm not, you know, doing my hair and makeup clothes. I'm wearing my pajamas all day long. Yes, I'm showering every day, but I wasn't putting myself back together like I normally did. And that for me was like, okay, that's it. I know that for me, I have to be getting ready. I have to be doing my makeup, I have to be doing my hair and putting together an outfit, and it doesn't need to be a fancy outfit. It can be one of those two piece sets and you know, that's comfortable and still cute, but it at least showed for me that I care enough to put in that effort. You know, it doesn't need to take a long time. You can certainly, I know I can take a long time getting ready, but I, you know, I can also fast forward and skip steps. so even just taking for me 30 minutes. To put myself together, made all the difference for my mental state, you know, it showed. Mm-hmm. It triggered in my mind that I'm worth it. I'm worth spending the time and energy on, you know, and it really gave me more confidence, you know, like putting myself back together like I normally do every day, made such a big difference. Yeah, I have a friend that told me that exact same thing during COVID. She had said that exact same thing to me, and for some people it really does make a big difference. She was saying it was like almost getting depressing. Mm-hmm. You know? Oh, for sure. Like not doing it. So she, it was like, um, it just helped her feel better.
