Let’s talk about something many of us don’t say out loud:

Our closets are full of clothes that don’t fit — and not just physically.

Some pieces don’t fit our shape.
Some don’t fit our lifestyle.
And some don’t fit who we are anymore — or who we’re becoming.

But we hold onto them anyway.

We hold onto the jeans we never got hemmed.
The top that gaps in all the wrong places.
The “petite” pants that somehow still need four inches cut off the bottom.
The expensive mistake we bought out of hope, obligation, or because we were just so tired of searching.

And listen, I get it. I’ve done it too. For years.

But right now, I’m doing something different — and I want to take you with me.

This Isn’t Just a Clean-Out. It’s a Wake-Up Call.

If you’ve been following me on YouTube or TikTok, you know I just launched a new interactive series called Closet Chronicles — and it’s not your typical closet clean-out.

This series is me, opening the doors to my actual closet and pulling out the pieces I’ve been holding onto for way too long — some I haven’t worn in years, some I’ve never worn at all. I’m asking myself (and you!) the hard questions: Why am I still keeping this? Does it fit my life anymore?

And here’s the fun part — you get to help me decide what stays and what goes.

Each week, I’ll show you pieces I’m debating, and you’ll vote:

• Keep it – and help me find ways to style it (either myself or with a petite stylist)
• Tailor it – if it has potential, but just needs adjustment
• Donate it – if it’s time to let it go for good

It’s a clean-out. But it’s also a collaboration.

And a conversation a lot of us need to have — out loud.

Petite Women Are Taught to Settle

We’ve been trained to take what we can get.

To buy the pants that “almost work” with high heels.
To pay for alterations — every time.
To make it work because nothing ever really fits anyway.

And somewhere along the way, that mindset doesn’t just live in our wardrobe.

It sneaks into how we move, how we speak, how we think about ourselves

Letting go of fashion that doesn’t fit is a metaphor.

It’s about refusing to shrink ourselves just to make something “kind of work.”

My Closet Was Full of Compromises

I’m not proud to say this, but I’ll be honest:

I had drawers full of pieces that I hadn’t worn in years.
Some with tags still on.
Some I kept because “I might need it one day.”
Some I kept because they were cute on someone else — just never on me.

And as I stood in my closet, preparing to film Chapter 1 of Closet Chronicles, I had to face the truth:

I wasn’t just organizing my closet. I was confronting every time I told myself I was the problem.

Every time I blamed my body instead of the broken system that never made space for us.

Letting Go Is My Birthday Gift to Myself

This month, I’m turning a year older — and I decided this is the gift I’m giving myself:

Release.

I’m letting go of what doesn’t serve me.

Not just to make room in my closet — but to make room in my mindset.

Room for clothes that actually fit.
Room for brands that actually see me.
Room for the movement we’re building together, one try-on at a time.

Want to Join Me? Here’s the First Step.

I’m not asking you to dump your whole wardrobe.

But I am inviting you to pause and ask:

• Why am I holding onto this?
• Does this piece reflect who I am today?
• Am I keeping it because I love it — or because I’ve been trained to settle?

That’s what I’m unpacking in Closet Chronicles.

And that’s what we’re talking about in the Ever Petite community — live now on Circle.

You’ll see me try on the questionable pieces.
Ask for your feedback.
Decide what stays, what gets tailored, and what gets donated — with your input.

And hopefully, you’ll start doing the same.

Because This Isn’t Just About Clothing

This is about control.

About confidence.
About reminding yourself that you are not the problem.
The industry is.

And together, we’re going to do something about it.

Petite women deserve better.

Better options. Better proportions. Better conversations.

And it starts here — in the closet.
With a deep breath.
A hard look.

And the decision to stop shrinking into what never fit in the first place.
