I think a headhunter once accused me of that.... she said I looked like a I was always wearing a costume. I think she just didn't like tweed or tuxedo shirts or my Oxford style shoes or the black bowler hat or...
Some people call it "cosbounding" when it's not disney bounding. I do like that closet cosplay is alluding to the fact that people are just using what they have though, with maybe one or two bought items to finish the look rather than buying the entire thing.
The whole time Rachel was in the Darcy look I was cheering “DO THE HAND FLEX!” Do I bring the same energy to watching Rachel’s videos as a generic sports fan? Yes, yes I do. Every. Time.
Half the videos I'm just relaxing cuz Rachel's voice is sooo soothing. The other half, I'm hyped and cheering Rachel on "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Do iiiiiiiiiit! Puff sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeves!"
@@Grimrose_04 I also have a dog called Frodo, and Frodog is a regular nickname around here. See also: Frode; Frodoggy-dog (sometimes sung like Snoop); MISTA FRODO (a la Harley Quinn) etc.
This entire video SLAPS. The lack of confidence in the Qui-Gon outfit was undeserved, it pulled together So Well. Watching you trounce around as all the characters is so much fun!
Every time you do one of these outfit videos, it's impossible to NOT immediately go hunting for balconette bras, intensely strappy belts, and blouses with huge sleeves.
I love it when Rachel wears suspenders and a bow tie because it always kind of looks like Amy Pond got into the Doctor’s wardrobe and is just going wild.
I would love to see a video like “a week of dressing like characters” where you wear these outfits out and about. You would accomplish your goal of wearing pieces you normally wouldn’t and you could let us know if anyone recognizes your inspiration. :)
My children ask that too! Only they are 4 and have no sense of what day it is so “is it the red haired lady with the dog videos today?” Gets asked about every other day haha.
Ciri’s outfit was giving me Inigo Montoya vibes and Carl’s outfit was looking more like Karen Gillan’s Amy Pond wearing Matt Smith’s Doctor Who outfit. Seriously loved everything you tried on though. Daphne was super cute. You’re such a creative genius.
OH MY GORD! That Qui Gon outfit was SHOCKING!! Absolutely loved how it turned out, I couldn’t see it in my head but you absolutely made it work. You’re so creative, I love watching you work. A true artist! *exorbitant chefs kiss*
15 but make it vintages in one! wow! I also love the solid encouragement Rachel gives us for everyday dress-up magic. "This? Not a costume. Just making myself happy everyday with my clothes."
The Carl outfit gave me 11th doctor vibes, but I guess he's also an old man so it makes sense Also I reeeeally like these character videos, they're really fun and for some reason inspire me to dress the way I want, so thank you!
As a gender fluid person, I love the mix of both very femme and masc clothing and looks that you do all the time. I dream of having a wardrobe as fun as yours someday. ✨
The fact I can immediately recognize your "closet cosplay's"/outfits in the thumbnail, that's top notch skill that you're able to pull these off perfectly with what you have
playing dress up is always fun, so 100% get the need to just go into closet and trying to get the vibe of characters one love via clothes without having to buy a bunch of new ones. Also that brown dress for Anja/Anastasia is amazing, and i kind of want one myself now.
Your Qui-gon Jinn is something I would legit wear as a regular outfit. It looks like it enough to identify it as a fan but "normal" enough to wear as everyday wear without turning too many odd looks. I love how it works on so many levels.
after you said Dr Octavius I couldn't unsee it- one hell of an outfit though, kinda want it. And that Anastasia look!! Holy shit it was so accurate and it looked so good on you :D Honestly this video somehow just became better and better (you have a Darcy bust?!), so many iconic outfits
I just rewatched the first part yesterday and was like : "oh boy wouldn't it be great if there was a new video kinda like this one ?" Goddess Rachel listened to my thoughts and prayers and answered them
I love how you put outfits together and they always look adorable. I liked how Frodo looked up at you sweetly while wearing the Kiki outfit. I love poet shirts. While rummaging through my closet, I found a romantic white poet-style night gown I bought many years ago that never fit until now. Oh, the off the shoulder, romantic novel style swishing that will take place in my home now
Ahhh, I loved this. Each time I was like, man how are you gonna top this, and then she goes ahead and does Jeff Goldblum, and Qui-Gon and so many other awesome characters. I ask for nothing more. This was beautiful 👌
How to make me want to do "closet cosplay" on a daily basis... I just love to see you trying to put together a character's outfit, based on what you have in your wardrobe !
Love when you ran into the chandelier... I'm not the only one 😂 also when you took off the jacket on the Dr. Malcolm look I got real Dread Pirate Roberts vibes 👌🏼
Thank you so much for embodying some of the most underrated characters who are my absolute favorites! ❤️ Also when I tell you I YELLED when the Anastasia dress came out! So good!!!!
This has been one of your most suspenseful videos - I was on the edge of my seat the entire time asking myself, “When will she clunk her head on that chandelier? “ Riveting! Also, The Mietrich was a great style mash up.
Ghibli-bounding should definitely be a thing! A pity I didn't come up with that when I visited the Ghibli museum two and a half years ago. Especially loved the Darcy and Malcom outfits, too!
I've always wanted to recreate Jane's outfit but I never found the right skirt or blouse that felt right so I'm excited to see what you've come up with. I love your work Rachel!
These outfit videos are my FAVE. The one thing I always have trouble finding is interesting belts! I'd love it if you did a video about accessories and how to add them onto an outfit 😊 Also PLEASE Ghiblibounding!!
I love the Jane and Mr. Darcy (w/o wig) outfits best! I just realized while watching that part of the reason you look so good in practically anything you wear is because you exude confidence and fun! It's also part of what makes these videos so enjoyable and pleasing to watch :)
I am a heterosexual woman identifying as female, but from the age of 14 and heavily influenced by the style of David Sylvian of the band Japan, I have always been drawn to, and worn, masculine tailoring. As a huge vintage style fan, I "channel" Jeremy Brett 's iconic Sherlock Holmes for every occasion I can. I am now 56, have silver and grey hair and I can tell you, dressing up never stops being fun. I love these videos, Rachael . Thank you.
I buy clothes by thinking of casual cosplay, so... I'm down for this videos all day, every day. I'd love to see a disnet princess themed closet cosplay. It'd be so cool!
Rachel just sits down in the intro and I just said aloud: her hair wow! It's so glorious! And the color is so good! I'm trying so hard to be patient and grow my hair that long... 🥺
Anastasia was perfect!! Well, they all were but she was especially perfect. Have you ever seen the movie Legend with Tim Curry? The dress Mia Sara wears when she transforms and meets Darkness would be such a fun make. Maybe a Lady Darkness version?
I am excited to see the return of this format. I think I have watched your 2020 closet cosplay video about a dozen times. Also, don't apologize for all of the pants. You absolutely rock them.
The thumbnail looks like you dressed up as the whole cast of Disney Atlantis At once and I'm here for it 😂🖤
. . . I would watch the heck out of that video
This is the best comment and I love it... ❤ 😍 💖
That would be a good video too!
Yesss!!
Best video idea!!
“Closet cosplay” is my new favorite phrase to describe my daily attire
I think a headhunter once accused me of that.... she said I looked like a I was always wearing a costume. I think she just didn't like tweed or tuxedo shirts or my Oxford style shoes or the black bowler hat or...
Yeah, baby :)

@@TheGillianReed oh I like that lol
Rachel: this outfit isn't reading daphne
Also rachel: in an absolutely stunning daphne outfit
Literally my husband happened to glance at the screen at that moment and said 'Is she Daphne'
And the delight of Rachel's never before seen lovely thighs!
Omg I know right I was like "what are you talking about this is an amazing daphne outfit" so cute
@@kevinruby9241 dude wtf
@@kevinruby9241 what?
The whole time Rachel was in the Darcy look I was cheering “DO THE HAND FLEX!” Do I bring the same energy to watching Rachel’s videos as a generic sports fan? Yes, yes I do. Every. Time.
I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING :D
Half the videos I'm just relaxing cuz Rachel's voice is sooo soothing. The other half, I'm hyped and cheering Rachel on "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Do iiiiiiiiiit! Puff sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeves!"
@@Emm_Er same!!
Okay but tell me how the Darcy outfit looks like Lizzie raiding Darcy's closet and stomping around Pemberly imitating him 🤣
Just stopping in front of random objects and going “hmm, not handsome enough to tempt me” and moving on 😂
His reaction, of course, should be to wear one of her bonnets and follow her around pretending to be Lizzie
LOVE IT
While still not changing his tone while talking lol
@@emz58440do you like movie clothing would you buy something like this
"It's like Disney-bounding but Ghibli-bounding" I think a lot of us NEEEEEEED a full Ghibli video! I think you would make a gorgeous Howl :)

Sewstine made one where she called it ghibli core. You should definitely check it out!
YAAAAS!!
YES YES PLEASE
YEAAAA
alternate title: Rachel Maksy being absolutely gorgeous and slaying every single article of clothing in her closet (again)
Right? This video was next level - nailing poses, looking amazing, being creative.
This!
EXACTLY ❤ 💯
Rachel dressing up as Frodo: Puts on brown velvet outfit.
Frodo: “Well that looks nothing like me.”
Frodo vs... Frodog
@@Grimrose_04 I also have a dog called Frodo, and Frodog is a regular nickname around here. See also: Frode; Frodoggy-dog (sometimes sung like Snoop); MISTA FRODO (a la Harley Quinn) etc.
Rachel: yeah this next outfit may not read Daphne
*proceeds to look absolutely like daphne with the gorgeous red hair*
WOW that Anastasia dress is astoundingly accurate 🤯
I'm late to this video, but my jaw actually dropped when she showed it! Can't believe the accuracy *Italian finger kiss*
"this may not read as Daphne"
* proceeds to perfectly morph into Daphne *
PRECISELY WHAT I WAS THINKING
came here to say this exact same thing! xD
It was my favorite outfit, I felt the vibe of old scooby doo
Yes!
Rachel: likes playing dress up
Also Rachel: giving thousands of people Halloween inspo for years to come.
I think the Rachel “I don’t wear pants” Maksy of the past would be proud of who you’ve become today.
This entire video SLAPS. The lack of confidence in the Qui-Gon outfit was undeserved, it pulled together So Well. Watching you trounce around as all the characters is so much fun!
Right? The Qui-Gon one was one of my favorites!
* t r o u n c e*
Every time you do one of these outfit videos, it's impossible to NOT immediately go hunting for balconette bras, intensely strappy belts, and blouses with huge sleeves.
Serious strong urge to go thrifting for belts, shirts with puffy sleeves and brown pants.
That black shirt for the Jurassic Park outfit had me flying to Google
Rachel’s giving real retro Kim possible vibes today and I’m here for it
(Also potential video idea?)
I’d be behind that video 100%
Behind it too
Oh snap Kim Possible but make it 1940’s
@@jessicaclakley3691 yes! As if kim possible was like a 1940s German spy or something!
Yes! Cartoon caracters but retro!❤️
I love it when Rachel wears suspenders and a bow tie because it always kind of looks like Amy Pond got into the Doctor’s wardrobe and is just going wild.
Yes!!! That was my exact thought xD
„Isn‘t life just one big closet cosplay“ That‘s a great motto to write on the door of your closet!
or your headstone
The Anastasia look... I'm in love! That piece has all of the best elements the 80s had to offer 😍
I would love to see a video like “a week of dressing like characters” where you wear these outfits out and about. You would accomplish your goal of wearing pieces you normally wouldn’t and you could let us know if anyone recognizes your inspiration. :)
“Isn’t life just one big closet cosplay?”… she says while looking like Kim Possible.
Ps. I got SO excited about the Anastasia outfit 😍✨
Every Friday my child wakes up and spends the entire day asking “Did Maksy post her video yet?” We love you Rachel! ❤️❤️
Obviously your child has excellent taste.
My children ask that too! Only they are 4 and have no sense of what day it is so “is it the red haired lady with the dog videos today?” Gets asked about every other day haha.
@@davidblum7125 Thank you, she does!
Rachel Maksy and pizza are how she knows it’s Friday 😂
My kids know we watch on Saturday 😁
Rachel: Here's some outfit ideas for ya.
Me: Ah yes, the movies and series rewatch reminder.
Honestly same lol
When the picture of Kiki popped up, both my daughter and I excitedly exclaimed "Kiki!". She loved it! This video was so much fun!
Ciri’s outfit was giving me Inigo Montoya vibes and Carl’s outfit was looking more like Karen Gillan’s Amy Pond wearing Matt Smith’s Doctor Who outfit. Seriously loved everything you tried on though. Daphne was super cute. You’re such a creative genius.
I imagine being a belt in Rachel's closet and on days like this just going... WEEEEEEEEE!
Love this 😂
The matrix outfit was like what if matrix was portrayed in the 1940s, a reverse futuristic AU, i love it
I love that the Darcy bust was one of the first things unpacked after the move.
I was waiting for the iconic line, "There's a gift shop!"
That video still makes me laugh !
The Matrix look is actually great, but I can't help but thinking Rachel's operative name would be something like Dial-Up.
OH MY GORD! That Qui Gon outfit was SHOCKING!! Absolutely loved how it turned out, I couldn’t see it in my head but you absolutely made it work. You’re so creative, I love watching you work. A true artist! *exorbitant chefs kiss*
Ooo that “Matrix but make it vintage” was a LEWK! I need to try that one!
Also that Anya look from Anastasia… chefs kiss
That Rick O'Connell one was gorgeous! Brendan Frasier our beloved! You so did him justice, bravo! And all of the other outfits were gorgeous too!
Okay. I have GOT to know where she's finding these blouses with GIANT sleeves. Because I NEEEEEEEEED them
Darcy blouse is from Garden of Heathens
The black one is by Vixen or Le Femme En Noir by michelline pitt I think!
Meee tooooo!! They are awesome! I never found cute sweater with big sleeves so I made one myself!
I get mine from Dillard’s
I have the sense that your house is absolutely loving having you swoosh around in costumes. You and it are the perfect match.
15 but make it vintages in one! wow! I also love the solid encouragement Rachel gives us for everyday dress-up magic. "This? Not a costume. Just making myself happy everyday with my clothes."
Rachel!! You missed a perfectly good "Grandmama, it's me Anastasia" with that outfit at 9:00 ! totally looks like Anya xD
Your energy in this video is just contagious! And I am HERE for a full Anastasia, that would be so cool 💕
Yes! Rachel would rock all the Anastasia outfits!
The Carl outfit gave me 11th doctor vibes, but I guess he's also an old man so it makes sense
Also I reeeeally like these character videos, they're really fun and for some reason inspire me to dress the way I want, so thank you!
As a gender fluid person, I love the mix of both very femme and masc clothing and looks that you do all the time. I dream of having a wardrobe as fun as yours someday. ✨
Yesss same 🥰🥰
Right??
Her masc looks are GOALS
I'm here to let you know my 4 year old little girl said "Wow ! Mummy she's beautiful" 😊
Thank you for the lovely content , sending love from England ❤
The fact I can immediately recognize your "closet cosplay's"/outfits in the thumbnail, that's top notch skill that you're able to pull these off perfectly with what you have
Also Rachel finding everything she needs in unconventional places: opens random door
“NIce I have a bow tie”
It's like she bought a house shaped TARDIS. *Opens a closet door* oh look a spot-on cosplay for Rick O'Connell
playing dress up is always fun, so 100% get the need to just go into closet and trying to get the vibe of characters one love via clothes without having to buy a bunch of new ones.
Also that brown dress for Anja/Anastasia is amazing, and i kind of want one myself now.

the Jane outfit espeically would be so cute to just wear out casually, the top is so flattering on you!!!!
Rachel, your creativity knows no bounds! I'm always surprised with how well you manage to translate character's outfits into real life! 🥰
Wow ok
I got major “Crowley from Good Omens” vibes from the Matrix outfit! And I loved it!
I’m always so happy and joyful watching your videos 💛.
I made a Matrix jacket like Neo's out of faux distressed leather. It looks so cool! Love your takes on the outfits!
Argh that sounds awesome!!!!!!!!!
Love the character choices. Also, I too slayed the whiskey-grampa look the other day and was so happy I had a name to call it by
The facial expressions throughout the Mr Darcy part sent mee 🤣
"Ghibli bounding" is genius and I definitely need to see more of it! 👏
I love watching the looks your little dog gives you each time! He doesn't know what you are doing or where you are going, but he is ready!!!
Exactly! Usually she goes out for a photo shoot, and there's so many things to smell in a new place.
This was adorable! I think you nailed Tinker bell's pouty expression.
The amount of joy I get from watching a stranger on the internet play dress-up is absurd. Thank you for the joy, Rachel. Keep on keepin' on! 😊
I love the Carl from Up look, and you look like Amy Pond decided to raid the Doctor's wardrobe one day. I love it so much.
My new favorite outfit in my wardrobe was put together with the prompt, “vampire from the future.”
Anna was gorgeous, Carl walked like an old sim 😅 fantastic. Tink could have her own "Tink but make her vintage" look. Loved it all *chefs kiss*
Oh my gosh, the Jane outfit was so simple but so good! It seriously looks like it could be from a live action adaptation.
after you said Dr Octavius I couldn't unsee it- one hell of an outfit though, kinda want it. And that Anastasia look!! Holy shit it was so accurate and it looked so good on you :D Honestly this video somehow just became better and better (you have a Darcy bust?!), so many iconic outfits
The green tinker bell dress looked so gorgeous with her natural red hair. She looked like bloom from winx or just some other magical fairy
Ooh she should try a collarless shirt with interchangeable collars. Endlessly awesome
So glad to see this type of video again. Also the Anastasia moment with Frodo, I could just see you both on a snowy hill, absolutely love it!
16:19 Rachel in her truest form: ✨whiskey grandpa✨
As much as I love The Mummy, as someone why studies Egyptology the Book of the Dead in hardback form will always make me laugh 😂 x

Just the facts that you love Brendan Fraser, Jeff Goldblum, thrifting, and sewing/crafting/all that jazzy artistics.

Io stavo ancora dormendo, ho aspettato sabato ahah😂
Thank you so much for embodying some of the most underrated characters who are my absolute favorites! ❤️ Also when I tell you I YELLED when the Anastasia dress came out! So good!!!!
This is where I realize that we have the same taste in visual entertainment..... And I'm (literally) here for it!
This has been one of your most suspenseful videos - I was on the edge of my seat the entire time asking myself, “When will she clunk her head on that chandelier? “ Riveting!
Also, The Mietrich was a great style mash up.
I wish someone made a video game with you as the main character. Adventure, seamstress, time traveling Rachel!
Man, videos like these just make me realize how much I want to completely revamp my wardrobe... I especially loved Anastasia! That dress is so cute!
The green dress actually looked so nice with your natural (as in non wig) hair. Something about green and ginger just works so damn well together
Rachel!! I want your closet!
I need more linen shirts and flowy trench coats in my life!
I loved this! I would love to see your take on Crowley from Good Omens and the other characters too since you've done an Aziraphale look in the past.
Just starting the vid she’s sporting a very Kim Possible look. I am using the line life is a closet cosplay from now on
As the Great Rachel is wont to say - 'So Stinking Cute' - nailed them! - thank you for making my Saturday morning that little bit brighter
Ghibli-bounding should definitely be a thing! A pity I didn't come up with that when I visited the Ghibli museum two and a half years ago. Especially loved the Darcy and Malcom outfits, too!
The Carl outfit also doubles remarkably well as an Eleventh Doctor closet cosplay
"isn't life just one big cosplay anyway?"
yes. yes it is. (especially when you have over a month's worth of Harry Potter t-shirts). words to live by.
I've always wanted to recreate Jane's outfit but I never found the right skirt or blouse that felt right so I'm excited to see what you've come up with. I love your work Rachel!
Cat's Costumery recreated it
That Qui Gon outfit was so good! Once you added the belt & jacket, it was perfection! 🥰
The other day my outfit theme was “mushroom hunter on a rainy day” and I love it

I always save them for Saturday morning and then have a cozy breakfast while watching 😊. The actual best part of my week
