  • HELLO FRIENDS! In the midst of this chaotic closet purge, make sure you head to: acorn.tv and use my code "rachel" to calm yourself down with some brilliant British TV.
    Thank you so much AcornTV for sponsoring this video!!
    WELP currently publishing this video from the floor of my office, as everything is packed away!!! So wild. ANYWHO yes I hope you enjoy my last-ditch efforts to thin out my wardrobe before moving house. It's a bit of a mess and my audio/camera decided to do their own things but AIN't THAT JUST THE WAY.
    I hope you have some fun watching anyways! I love you all and I'm so excited to show you the new place!!

    “The older I get, the more I realize I don’t have time for basic.” I'm so glad that you're realizing that at a young age--it took me 70 years to realize that! I wore solid color everything so I could mix and match and then switched to all black because it worked well while working. Now I've switched back to my favorite colors Blue and Red and also Hawaiian Shirts.--Go Me!

    To those judging Rachel for keeping stuff: a closet purge doesn’t need to be half your wardrobe! It can just be a refreshing change, and slowly throughout your life you’ll whittle it down to only items that make you feel the most confident and authentic. Or, to quote miss Marie Kondo- spark joy 🤩

It is much easier donating once you arrive at your new place. When you say to yourself “why did I pack this”. It’s time to donate. I hope that your move is wonderful.

It felt so so good to spend my day making something from scratch, and while I get far too frustrated by sewing it to do it regularly, it's really freaking nice to know that I can have an idea and make it exist!!

      @AlexaFaie 2 года назад

      I'm honestly not sure which of my dresses would work for that. Perhaps I am overthinking it as it really depends (in my head) on whether its just a quick meet & greet style thing where she shakes hands with people in which case I have seen her shake the hands of people in casual jeans & tshirts. Or if its more formal affair where quite some time would be spent there. In which case it massively depends on the time of day. Wouldn't wear the long black velvet evening dress for an afternoon event, but would wear one of my tea length dresses if I could decide which print to go with. Problem is she has set colours she tends to wear & its bad form to turn up in the same colour as she's wearing. And since she wears a lot of yellow outfits and green outfits, that rules out a lot of mine... lol

    Moving hack for clothes for someone that's moved WAY too many times: just tape a bunch of hanging clothes together by the hangers, and throw a trash bag over the bundle to protect them from dust and the like.

Often times the meds do a half-way reasonable job of tamping that playtime down.

Learning to love a garment for what it is but also know that it doesn't fit with the rest of my wardrobe was a hard lesson to learn but it has freed up so much space and saved me money.

    1. New Edwardian style skirt you just bought + that first lace blouse that you couldn’t bring yourself to donate = fabulous new outfit? I see Gibson Girl potential, so no need to fret.
    2. In the new house closet(s), I think you may want to ditch all the mismatched thick plastic hangers. In their place, those extra thin velvet hangers will be your best friends. Sure, you’ll need standard skirt hangers with clips for the skirts, but for all the rest of your wardrobe, you won’t regret a nice, sleek, uniform set of velvet hangers that are gentle on your clothes and make the whole space look spiffy. Lots of luck on the big move! You’ve got this!👏🏻👍🏻💜
