A ravenclaw student must have donated all of those sweaters.

[@rachelmaksy]

Zoe Hahahaha RIGHT?!

[@Angel-tc8fq]

Zoe yess! 😂👌👌

[@retroreceptionist7571]

Ravenclaws represent!!!!

[@ClarissaCullen101]

I just love your style. It makes me imagine a nice Autumn day in 1948. It's not too cold, not too warm and there's a slight breeze that makes the leaves fall every so often. The smell of warm apple pie is wafting out from a bakery window as a couple and their dog stroll around the town square window shopping. P.s. The black shoulder pad dress looks fantastic on you!

[@rachelmaksy]

WELP you just transported me and now I don't wanna return from my imagination hahaha. Thank you my love ❤️

[@maelialecoeur9735]

Clarissa Lee How can you be able to describe heaven that well 💖

[@lklkf2011]

You have to writ a book ...ur description and imagination are just amazing ❤

[@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961]

Awww I feel like this is a cozy little scene in a snow globe where everything smells like old books, puppy breath and cinnamon rolls and now I want to go live in that snow globe ... or maybe just vacation there... because now I’m irrationally scared about being shrunken down and trapped in a glass globe like some kind of genie.

[@kt7087]

my favourite item was frodo

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe I got him for a good deal. $2 for good boi

[@kt7087]

The Pinup Companion what a STEAL!!!

[@ItsRachelDarling]

That black dress looked like nothing when you held it up but WOW it looks so amazing on you!! You have such a knack for finding the best thrift store finds, the cat and goldfish brooch is the cutest thing ever!

[@rachelmaksy]

Right! I was so surprised! It didn't look like it had any shape at all!

[@kjaye2766]

I might just be creeping on you and your family but a house tour would be amazing, everything is so purdy! Unless you don't want me and the rest of the creepers to see your dwelling in which case I understand 🙈

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha it's definitely in the plans!! We're still trying to get rid of our ugly carpets which has been taking us a while. But after that, definitely!!

[@kaylamarie1796]

The Pinup Companion We don't care about ugly carpet. JUST GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!!!! (I'm just kidding I love you, so much!!!!)

[@_the_little_mermaid_]

AHHH I WANT YOUR CLoSET SO *BADLYY*

[@rachelmaksy]

Ariel ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@stareye8]

Same!

[@conflictpersona8]

The perfect profile pic was attached to this comment. Im dead 😖 LOLX too funny

[@claudiamiller5895]

That simple black dress with the leg slit looks absolutely stunning on you! It's like it was made for you. Also, I love the outfits you show in these videos because you make them seem so comfortable and wearable. If I ever have a job that requires more professional or office attire I'm definitely going to come back and watch your videos for inspiration.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much lovely!! 😊

[@paulawarner6521]

Random thought- I wonder if elderly people ever stop you and compliment your look or share stories about their youth?? I'm sure you remind them of being young or a loved one ❤

[@rachelmaksy]

Sometimes! I would love for them to share more stories, usually it's just a quick comment hehe, I love hearing about people's lives!

[@anoldfashionedcountrylife811]

I have often wondered that! Mrs.O

[@katjaanjuli]

I used to wear my hair in a “Rosie the Riveter” style bandana a lot & one of my older British coworkers told me I reminded him of his mom working at the factory during the war. It basically made my life!

[@RandomProductions106]

You only posted this a few second ago, but I just wanted to let you know you’re beautiful and amazing and just such a wonderful human being

[@rachelmaksy]

Jessie Allen Oh my gosh you're too sweet 😭😭😭❤️

[@helloyellow06]

You have really perfected the silhouettes that flatter you; you always look beautiful!! I don't have a Savers near me, but I have a few Goodwills, so I'll try my luck there!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much!! I've had some luck at Goodwill's before! May the thrifting gods smile upon you 😂

[@i.m1ss.y0u.s0.f4r]

Yeah I should go to goodwill too

[@lbeamer5782]

You have THE perfect figure for vintage dressing. I'm so scrawny and flat chested and tall I could never pull off these looks like you! Everything looks absolutely incredible!

[@joeskittles9573]

Holy wow! The pin at 9:24 is just like one that I donated around a year and a 1/2 ago! It was part of my grandmother's broach collection originally. Hopefully that one went to a good home too!

[@TheOllianders]

You look exactly like Peggy Carter in your first outfit! I absolutely love all these!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe thank you!!

[@elle.blanchard]

I LOVE how you subtitle/caption your dog hahahaha Also, I feel you with the same sweater in 3 different colors And my favorite items are the plaid buttoned skirt and the cat brooch 😊

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe thank you lovely!!

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Very nice!!! That little pin (scarf pin?) in the 80s they used to be worn on women's lapels, on jackets, blazers, coats. Everyone around me wore them that way... Of course you can wear them any way you want, but thought you might like to hear that trivia, ha.) Enjoyed your vid, thanks! Have a great week!

[@rachelmaksy]

Good to know!! I'm glad I can wear it more than just with scarves cuz that was a little limiting hehe! Thank you love, you too!!

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

:)

[@ReadyMadeBouquet]

stick pins! they are also worn on hats!

[@elizabethscreations2814]

To know that you, you gorgeous gal Rachel, also wear sweatpants when filming, has simply made my month. Here's to all us gals who are done up to the nines from waist up and low key wearing comfy , chillaxing styles on the bottom half, while filming for youtube. :) Also that bunch of acorns and leaves were such a good find xoxo

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha YESSS

[@jessicabrissette4531]

Frodo is just the cutest! You can't go wrong with a corduroy skirt and that fish bowl brooch is adorable! Great haul m'dear!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you my loveee!!

[@LadyPirate37]

Yaaaaassss! I NEED that brooch! Proabably a one of a kind, which makes it that much more special, but ACH! So kee-yoot!

[@TheCommanderCosmo]

These are so lovely aaah I love watching haul videos! Especially yours! Also this is a really random detail but I really love that you use actually old music? With the whole sound of it being played on a record player. It's just so nice because so many youtubers use electro-swing and stuff like that which isn't my favorite (though there's nothing wrong w/ it!) I hope you had a lovely weekend and have a good week this week!

[@rachelmaksy]

Aww thank yuh!! It helps that the older music is public domain and free to use, hehehe. I use electro-swing for more upbeat videos for sure but nothing beats the feeling of the actual stuff! ❤️

[@andizana]

Yaaaayyy you make me wanna go vintage! But I'm perplexed between other alternative styless

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehehe just do it all!! There are no RUULEeeeeeSS!

[@kaisailona685]

What other styles are you interested in ? :)

[@sebastiansilva5065]

27kiddnothing do both like a mix of both lol

[@paige558]

The dress you're wearing during this video is stunning! 💗💗 sooo beautiful

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much!! It's so autumn-y hehee

[@sheilas1283]

Paige Davis Isn't it? The colours really suit her!

[@PaleMagnolia]

When you said the blue dress was a bit short I was like "what, it looks like the hem of the skirt would hit me about mid-calf, why is she saying tha-" Then I remembered. You're 5'9''. Yeah, I guess it *is* a bit short after all.

[@rachelmaksy]

PaleMagnolia Hahaha yup, it's a struggle 😂

[@PaleMagnolia]

The Pinup Companion On the other hand, I am what the fashion industry calls "petite" (read: a dwarf) and everything is Pilgrim Fathers length on me!

[@clover2556]

PaleMagnolia to be fair, it’s easier taking up hems than letting them down, especially modern narrow hems

[@MissCV20]

Honestly, your hair looks really pretty in this video. Love the outfits you put together, it just works and you look so gorgeous, so put together. Very nice. 👏🏼

[@rachelmaksy]

Claudia D. Vazquez Thank you so much lovely!

[@kimberlyplayer]

That black dress on you is everything! Hope you still have that for a rainy day!

[@emilyfaye2104]

You're style is so beautiful! You kill the vintage style game for real. I love your channel and Frodo is the cutest!!

[@MarJan0509]

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you my love!!

[@abbiegrier207]

FRODOOO! His name is Frodo! Such an adorable, beautiful and silly dog I stumbled across your video, and loved it! Those clothes were definitely made for you bc they fit your body and personality sooo well. You got super great items! ps-loove your style, and your home looks so cozy!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee he's my little hobbit!! Aww thank you so much love!! 😊

[@1920sgirl]

This was soooo much fun, yes, more of these, please. :) The black dress looks totally amazing on you. Love all the jumpers, too. I can't wear wool, so I always have try and find cotton vintage style jumpers, which can be a bit tricky.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you love!! Ohh that must be tough, I feel like wool is eeeeverywhere. I wonder if they make more polyester ones nowadays!

[@1920sgirl]

True and I love wool, I think it's fab, but just sooo itchy. Can't wear polyester or similar either only natural (non-wool) materials. :)

[@melinaramos8755]

Can we see a closet tour? So many skirts/belts- how do you store them all? If you ever do a meet up you should do it at savers! Much love!

[@robincarter5192]

he black dress looks like it was made for you!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you love!!

[@Arovarel]

You look so nice in blue tops 😍 How do you manage to not get strange bumps in your skirt when you tuck in your top?

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you my love!! Hahaha I sometimes do! It depends on the material I think, like if it's a silkier top, it comes unbunched really easily 😂😂

[@marilynshines6038]

Everthing looked so nice on you, bur that black dress! It was gorgeous!!!

[@amberlynn9679]

I like your "it has pockets" dance

[@yulis8940]

Thank you for a wonderful autumn entertaining while I'm having my tea, like the best possible video for it *.* the black dress I think was my favorite, sometimes when I have time I'm embroidering things like elvish or flower ornaments around the collar, so much stuff to do with a black dress like that) also, I just want to ssy that those bloopers at the end are the best)

[@rachelmaksy]

Oh my gosh that is SUCH A GOOD IDEA. I need to teach myself to embroider!

[@safetytess]

SO MANY GREAT FINDS!

[@rachelmaksy]

😊😊😊

[@aiwxo]

I love that black linen dress, so simple but could easily be so fancy!

[@HeathsHarleyQuinn]

It's fun coming back to your really old videos and seeing just how drastically your style has changed.

[@sewingwildoats]

BEST. STYLE. EVER! Also, I need to find me a plaid skirt too!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you cutie!!!

[@jasminegilbreath5899]

That black dress is perfect!!!!

[@dianeshiffer364]

I love how you take modern garments and style them so that they look vintage. That talent utterly eludes me. I also love how freeking adorable you are. 😘

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much beauty!!!! You're too sweet! ❤️

[@LSSYLondon]

OMG the skirt with buttons AND pockets- I died. LOVE! And the black dress is so CHIC! I hope you didn't get rid of the shoulder pads. You rocked them.

[@micki3520]

I literally want to jump in my car and go to Savers now, it's only 3 min away

[@jasminflores9989]

I need more of these in my life😍 and you style the pieces so beautifully😭 you make it look so easy lol

[@rachelmaksy]

Ahh you'e too sweet!!

[@InAnotherCatsle]

That cat brooch is everything! Also, that shoulder pad dress was perfection on you.

[@boukelobe]

Haaayyy, I know you did thise video a 1000000000 years ago. And I want to say I love your styling tips, and I absolutely love the first combo with the blouse and super love the long skirt. So keep doing you theeennnggg girl. 🤩

[@thestorytellersdiary]

Ummm. It looks like someone is going to come into your house at 2:17, should I freak out or is everything okay?

[@rachelmaksy]

Vintage Psycho Lol it's my husband 😎

[@thestorytellersdiary]

Awww okay, creep factor has been dismissed. ♡

[@sarahsmith2783]

That black dress is FABULOUS on you!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you lovely!! 😊

[@valentinazora9086]

You inspire. Youre comical. Youre adorable. Youre amazingly authentic and perfectly you. We adore you.

[@kamadesign8140]

You look fantastic in that long black dress. Very Jessica rabbit. Fabulous haul by the way. If you ever tire of that sweater on 2:30 you can send it to me ;)

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much love hehehe ❤️

[@madeleineackos4385]

So many cute things! I almost bought that exact brooch awhile ago- now I'm sad I let it go! :) Everything looks lovely on you, although I don't envy your needing to tailor those pants :') taking pants in at the waist is horrible. *cue Mad World*

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you lovely!!! Hahaha I'm hoping with some ironing I won't need to tailor them and just make them work cuz I want to avoid it at all costs 😂😂

[@madeleineackos4385]

I really hope you won't have to! Hoping right along with you that the iron works haha

[@BeatlesRock03230]

I'm obbessed with that blouse for your first outfit

[@teataster3546]

You make vintage look so easy to achieve. Some of the items you've chosen turn magical when you pair them up with the right accessories or perfect skirt. Needless to say, I love these types of videos and hearing you rip those price tags was oddly satisfying :))

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee aww thank you so so much!!

[@felipefaraj9004]

9:42 That’s actually a Ascot pin, I believe, and and It’s supposed to keep an formal ascot in place. BUT it can also be used as a cute little pin, I’m sure no one will notice.

[@anoldfashionedcountrylife811]

Don't rip tags off with your teeth! ( Mother of 5 here, sorry) 😃 Lovely choices!! Your skirts are wonderful. Blessings Mrs.O

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha I knoww I knoww. That last one hurt 😂😂

[@seltzermint5]

oh man me too...I cringed with every rip, teeth or fingers. haha LOVED the video but I just wanted to hand her some scissors so badly.

[@detsnumber1]

Loving the kitty cat pin....so cool!!!! Some great finds there i wish i could find such doll pieces. Also Frodo is just soooooo darn cute.

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehe thank you love!!

[@janelleraven9775]

I live in Maine. The nearest Savers is a couple hours away in NH. I'm so jealous because you find the best stuff there it seems! Love your videos! You're such an inspiration.

[@edgelordlilly_6507]

Early squad where ya at??? Yes I'm that person.

[@rachelmaksy]

Lilli Lafer Hahaha makin' me feel all official ❤️❤️❤️

[@1Shelbez]

That black dress is everything!!! Slay Girl! Frodo is the cutest.

[@kaocazbaubo]

That black dress looked like it was made just for you. Perfection!

[@smiley32190art]

Thank you so, so much for showing the clothes and all the items on. I love to see what they look like! And _DAT ACORN_

[@22mendonca]

As ever super entertaining, enthralling & beautiful. I love everything you purchased. Thrifting is sooooo satisfying doll. 💰 Big love to you & Frodo...I adore him!!🐺Xxx❤❤❤

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you my beauty!!!

[@chibiloki]

Yas! Buy all the blouses, 40s-eque sweaters, and full skirts. Well, save some for the rest of us. ;) I love the colors of all three sweaters. Also, the fabric covered-buttons on the little playsuit/dress give it a nice vintage vibe. Plaid is love, also long rows of buttons, so yeah, I’m with you on that skirt. I feel you on the shoulder pads, but wow that dress looks like it was made for you. A scarf pin seems like such an obvious idea, but somehow it never occurred to me. Thanks for sharing all the cuteness.

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you lovely!!

[@sweetyetunrefined9335]

Rachel I'm down a hole binging your thrift try-ons, and I'm not crawling out any time soon!!

[@StephanieLuff]

You do a great job of showing how it's not just one piece that makes you look vintage. It's the whole package-clothing, hair, makeup, and accessories all tie it together to look vintage without being costumey.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you love!! I'm forever shocked how much JUST hair and makeup can transform an outfit, it's nuts!

[@passionfruitfruit]

Omg! I NEED that giant acorn in my life SO bad!! 😍 The pin can be also used for hats. Great finds! 😊

[@starr6465]

Loving you Channel, you show us the way to a reasonably priced, practical Vintage wardrobe

[@tayar1585]

I have never been so jealous over a brooch. Amazing find

[@aSavvyWriter]

I always love the end-of-video bloopers! And these haul videos make me want to try thrifting again, though I will always play the "Find the ugliest _______ in the store" game.

[@rachelmaksy]

heehee thank you love!! Oh I've found some pretty hideous items before 😂😂

[@KennyFortaleza]

Obsessed with you(not to the creepy Halloween level yet). Binge watching all your vids! 😍😍😍

[@elaineplate8921]

Great haul! My favorite is the blouse with the full sleeves and pointed collar. The belted skirts paired with a blouse or sweater are very flattering. The cameo is a stick pin; they were mostly worn on blazers in the 1970's. Yay, disco! TFS.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you love! Good to know hehehe

[@anamae03]

I love all the outfits! that black dress was very Morticia Addams! Beautiful!

[@kelseyreyes3776]

That red/stripe dress is the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen!

[@lilacchocolate]

Ohhh loved that brooch!!! 🐠😻 But I especially love the fact that you take the time to try/style your finds, it is much appreciated! Plus, you look stunning in all of them!!! 👏💕

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much lovely!!!

[@bluejay5531]

Love the way you style the clothes! I The black dress was fabulous on you, and I also particularly loved the first sweater you tried on! all very cute

[@phirah79]

I love the plaid skirt you got. It makes a perfect winter outfit. I'm also obsessed with those kinds if buttons on a skirt. And I love all the sweaters. I would have dozens of sweaters if I could get away with it. I love your channel and vicariously living through your clothing hauls and look books, etc.

[@rachelmaksy]

phirah79 Thank you so much!!! Idk what it is about those kinds of buttons on skirts but I always gravitate towards them 😂❤️

[@k1tkat-kate]

OBSESSED WITH THAT BURGANDY STRIPE DRESS OMG

[@andreelynn]

That lil wooden acorn was my favorite, but EVERYTHING was so cute!

[@LadyPirate37]

I adore everything about your content, Rachel, but just at this precise moment, the outtakes at the end that you often put in are my favorite thing in the world! Thank you for making my Monday kick off right! ☺️💋

[@rachelmaksy]

Hehee thank you my love!! ❤️

[@aquilafernanda8194]

My favourite piece is the black dress. It's perfect on you! I'd really love to watch a video showing your closet and how you organize your clothes and accessories.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you love!! That'd be fun! Although it's kindof a huge mess hahaha 😊

[@ELizbeth135]

That black dress is STUNNING!! 😱🤩😍

[@sarahwatts1524]

That broach is fantastic! Your videos always make me laugh and brighten up my day. ❤ I'll have to go hunting for more vintage things near me now!!

[@rachelmaksy]

Aww yay that makes me happy hehe ❤️

[@smileyraw]

I love how you put things together!

[@marta_sanders]

Wow those dresses!!! Each one even more beautiful than the last. You have GREAT style lady! And rock those shoulder pads! They look good.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much!! I was surprised how much I didn't mind the shoulder pads hahaha, they can stay 😂

[@LifeMeetSteph]

That scarf pin is sooooo cute! Love the way you totally rocked the vintage style for less, amazing!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much my love!!

[@bodyofhope]

That black dress was worth $80 alone! Loved that on you!!! Where did you wear it? You can dress it up easily, or it would also look great with a peter pan collar if you want to make it more casual.

[@nerdy_unicorn_fairy]

My favourite items of your (now 3 years ago XD) haul are the checkered skirt, the giant acorn box and the pin with the cat and the fish jar.

[@noodle5622]

I’ve been binging your videos since last night and let me say, I’m so happy I’ve found you! Vintage clothing has always inspired me and I love the style, but I was too nervous/scared to wear them. I always felt a more modern style fit me... But honestly, you’ve made me feel so much more comfortable in what I want to wear! I know this is an older video of yours, but your editing it so funny and you seem so genuine. I’m so excited to go thrifting soon to find some ~vintagey~ looking pieces. Also, the fact that you make sure your viewers know that they don’t have to splurge on vintage clothing to dress vintage is such a blessing! Thank you so much and I’m so excited to watch more of your videos!

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

I think that for a beginner wanting to dress/look vintage, a great idea is to find an image of an outfit that you might like and take that with you when thrift shopping (or secondhand shopping as I call it here in Australia) - and look for each of the different items you need. I saw you (yes you) referencing an image once when showing how to put together an outfit when shopping online, and so I decided to go one step further and use this idea out in the wild. Honestly, it really helped me to find the things I needed and also kept me “focused”...because I’m easily distracted and I get slightly anxious in .... shops, around more than 3 other people... anywhere outside with people etc etc (I’m now distracted by you showing your beautiful acorn container ... I love it 🥰). Anyway, that’s my 2 cents worth of advice. Byeeeee🙂🐿

[@bambootcha666]

Everything looks absolutely dreamy on you! You're a genius when it comes to styling the pieces as well

[@VidiiVodii]

Gahhh! You're literally my style icon! I don't really own anything vintage but I'd like to! If I could, I would. Edit: so I bought some reproduction vintage and it was really fun! I just felt like I should update this comment since I did.

[@SuzieLivesInHerHead]

That giant acorn is amazeballs. I obsess over acorns. They're the best!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha same!!!

[@AllTheButtons87]

Am loving the large acorn and the sweaters!

[@sarahingerson6202]

That plaid skirt is goals. Along with the main striped dress you are wearing in the video. So cute. Also, you can totally rock those shoulder pads.

[@NocturnalBlaze]

I would never have imagined that that simple black dress could be in any way vintage-looking, but as I saw you modelling it, it was just perfect and so classy, I loved how it looked on you!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much love!! I think the shape of it definitely helped but I wasn't expecting it to look as retro as it did, haha!

[@aholman0313]

I’ve been waiting for summer so impatiently but now you’re making me miss fall again. GAH!

[@kathleenfarris8710]

You have such a flair for styling modern clothes to look like authentic vintage! Talent!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so so much lovely!! 😊

[@mellisak8504]

Treasure found! That black dress is amazing. I'd totally love and wear that cat pin!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you love!! It's the cutest!

[@micki3520]

I love these, they help me when I go thrift shopping to try to pick vintage style things. I love Savers

[@rachelmaksy]

Aww yay! YES it's the best hahaha

[@darkhappiness7554]

THE BROACH WAS EVERYTHING!!! & The cute little pin too :] Love everything ou bought & also, thank you ALWAYS for trying them one & showing how you will pair them. :]

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee aww thank YOU lovely!

[@GrammyVulture]

I loved the skirt with the buttons, and the silly puppy. 0f course I love you too!👍

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you my love!

[@AlessInVloggerland]

I have a Savers down the street and have NEVER thought to check it out! I now know what I'm doing tomorrow! Thanks so much for sharing! I loved everything you got.

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee aww good luck!! May the thrifting gods smile upon yoooou 😊
