    Hyeeelllooo!! As you might have noticed, I am on a massive Declutter Spree (band name, called it) lately and I felt like it was time for another closet PURGEEEE. The last time I did one of these was over a YEAR ago, can you believe that? These clothes were due for a chuckin', I'd say. I was much more strict on myself this time around, and ended up getting rid of a LOT of vintage. Well, you'll see, hehe.
    ENJOY!

She is creative and exciting which keeps him on his toes as to never be bored. I will still be watching her channel when they are old farts.
      Side note: I really wish she didn’t take the negative comments to heart. Seeing Sad Rachel makes me sad, and she doesn’t need to change a damn thing. It’s her channel! No matter what one does in their life, there will always be people for it and people against it, so be you and let those that like you like you for who you are, and those who don’t can suck an egg.

I couldn't do half the creative stuff Rachel does (mural of dreams in the bedroom? 😭) but I could organize the crap out of the emails, professional calendar, and finally this closet. There. I've said it. Now I can go back to enjoying her lovely personality which is like 💯 why I'm here (content? No. I'm here for the almost bff hang out time. Lol).

    Rachel, you need some thin roller blinds or fabric roller blinds for your windows. Not only will it prevent the outside world from seeing your scantily antics but it will also provide even lighting. They are also cheap and easy to install and you can get them cut to fit your windows. The brackets are small and you can remove the blinds pretty easily if you don't want them to stay in your windows all the time.

    For the clothes that I only wear occasionally (but still really love and cannot part with) like fancy dresses, vacation/beach clothes, etc, I keep them in vacuum-sealed bags and put them in a faux-antique chest ('cause real antique chests cost too dang much, lol) that doubles as a end-of-the-bed-table (there's a word for this, I'm sure) in my bedroom. That way I don't have to buy a new dress every time there's some type of Fancy Function™ or a vacation (what are those again?), but I also don't have all my fancy-clothes taking up space in my closet all the dang time.

    My late mother-in-law had the best closet organize hack ever. Every New Yesrs Day, she’d go thru her closet and turn all of her hangers backward. (Where the opening of the hook was facing out.) Then throughout the year, as she’d wear and wash her clothes, she hang them normally. (Where the opening of the was facing the wall.). Then the following New Years Day, she’d take all of the clothes that the hangers were still facing out and donate them. Then she’d start all the way over.

    To save your sanity (and your coffers, milady!) DO NOT WATCH 'All Creatures Great and Small". If you have not seen it already, it was a show produced in Britain in the 1970s based on a series of books about being a veterinarian in the 1940s English Countryside....It's a wonderful show with a sprightly opening song.....but the costuming is so gorgeous that your bank account will scream in terror because of your shopping.
