The whole “grown woman wearing a children’s skirt” thing is why I never buy anything above a midi. I look like I’ve been thieving from defenceless orphans.

[@kaylamaenot3247]

I feel like for a lot of vintage gals, myself included, when you first start your journey your wardrobe looks a lot more pinup/rockabilly because that's what's more easily available? Then as your style matures you learn what you actually like, and how to style modern things you like to fit that style. The shortness of the bird skirt and the grey pencil skirt definitely read more rock-a-billy to me.

[@rachelmaksy]

For sure!!! I've noticed that's the journey a lot of us take hahaha

[@shayebear8464]

When you ducked when you saw the UPS guy.. I relate to that so much! I don’t leave my house ever either and when people unexpectedly show up at my house.. I’m hiding. Lol.

Oh god, i just laughed so much seeing her duck... like, she's changing in front of the whole internet but hides from the ups man.. i.love her so much

[@kimberleecatena]

Hannah B yesss!!!

[@5Seed]

I have found after many a closet clean out, that I’m not the kind of person that can sell clothes. The energy and effort required is too great. I donate EVERYTHING regardless of value (even my wedding dress).

[@sebastianmaker6798]

Nothing wrong with that! But as someone who used to work for a charity shop, make sure you donate in season. People often bring their summer clothes in when fall is starting and we simply don't have the room to keep clothing that won't sell for the weather. So either going through the clothes at the start of the season or saving it for next year is super helpful.

[@5Seed]

@@sebastianmaker6798 it's a very good point and I only donate things I think would sell. I've always said if I think I could get a few dollars for it on facebook I'd donate it. Otherwise its rags.

The Algorithm brought me here. Why I don't know as I'm an just an old guy. But since I'm here I have a story that I hope will resonate with you and yours. A while ago I went to an estate sale. While waiting for it to open a woman walked up totally in 50's period. Hat to shoes. She looked terrific. She looked like my mom did back then. I asked her if I could take a photo and she said yes - and thanks for asking by the way. We got to talking. She dealt in vintage clothing and shopped estate sales. Makes sense. I asked if she wore vintage everywhere she went and she said no. After the sale she was going to an assisted living facility. It's what she does as often as she can. She wears her best period clothes and goes to talk with the people "in the home" as mom would say. Here's the part that chokes me up every time....She said the women perk up and talk about their clothes and their lives. The men take her hand - talk about their wives - and cry.

[@mimi1968100]

The sparrow skirt would make a kickin apron. Love it.

[@anditeaspoon6118]

Dude I thought the same especially after seeing some vintage 60s aprons yesterday

[@mindylu32]

You talking about Ronald Weasley instantly made me think "OMG Rachel needs to do a look book for a young Molly Weasley!!"

[@conflictpersona8]

OMG I hope she sees your comment... she would kill it

[@WithLoveKristina]

I need to do a closet purge and film it. I have a lot of true 1950’s vintage I SHOULD let go that I can’t because... 50’s in my size is hard to find. But I like the idea of a revolving door closet - one in, one out. Also small closets and never leaving the house, I also don’t need that many clothes so... yeah.

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha it's a constant struggle!!

[@kaylal9790]

If you're up for a sewing project, a 1920s dress would be really cool to see for the upcoming New Year!

[@angelicamunoz9541]

I love the orange dress. I know it’s “plain”, but I see plain as a pallet that you can transform into what you want. Your current styles fits you very well, very interesting on you.

[@hayleyjo_co]

i really appreciate that you're so aware of your fashion consumption! i feel like there's such a culture of consumerism as entertainment here on youtube and its easy to forget that your clothing footprint can leave a big mark on the planet. it must be especially hard to be conscious of that when you have fashion as an element in your youtube channel. promoting reselling and apps like poshmark makes such a huge difference, so thank you!

[@rachelmaksy]

It definitely gets tough, thankfully I love vintage and thrifting so in a way it's recycling already 😂

[@courtneynelson2486]

I’ve been going through the same exact thing over the years, shedding my hardcore vintage stance and leaning into my fandoms and other interesting styles that draw me more now. It is weird to let go of things you’ve had for a while, and I don’t wear red any more either for the same reason! I just want to look interesting in neutrals 😂. Loved this, love everything our doing bb.

I love your mismatched socks. I live in mismatched socks. You're the absolute best Rachel. You've inspired me to teach my 11 year old daughter to see.

Sometimes, doing a purge helps you appreciate what you have in a new way. I think it's good. And I'm glad you decided to keep some things, because you can see them with new eyes and wear them again with a new intention! Xoxo

[@Ferrousfibers]

I'm currently in the process of turning my closet into a 1920's-1940's neutrals/aviator/ Indiana Jones villain/ Peaky blinders capsule wardrobe and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has strange fashion inspiration. I am also a serial closet purger except I purge before I get new clothes and end up with nothing to wear!

[@ScreechTheMighty]

When Rachel wore mismatched socks and was indecisive about getting rid of things...I felt that. Also, don't be ashamed of holding onto some things! If there's one thing I learned from Marie Kondo, it's that being mindful and appreciative of what you have is the most important part, not the number of things. You re-discovered those skirts and appreciate them still, so it's okay to hold onto them. Also, can't wait to see what you put in the shop!

[@SheHuntsZombies]

I find as I get older and wiser (lol..right) I have gotten a lot better about having a revolving closet, also credit to one of my best friends friends, she is is tres chic and has always lived by that philosophy so I always want to aspire to that and I think I am a lot better now! I used to keep sooooo much sentimental clothing, there a few things I just cannot give away but my husband and I have a storage bin with them folded away. May be cool to dig in one day in the distant future.

This place rakes in $10,000 per month without even trying! Yay! Rachey would love it! But I had to fire the cleaning ladies because they were bringing over their boyfriends! And I was having to clean up behind them! Naughty Naughty Anyway, not this Colonel, Military Pilot/Airline Pilot is now the "cleaning lady" for these properties! Don't worry, I bought a nice wig to play the part! Yay! And by the way my Rachey, I'm constantly going back to New Orleans to stay at your Airbnb there! We loved that place from the first time we stayed there. (About two weeks after you uploaded, 3 Days in New Orleans!) Anyway, while on Bourbon Street, I saw a t-shirt that said, "You can live in any city in the United States, but New Orleans is the only city that lives in you!" Jesus loves you!

[@an81angel]

Could you do a vintage Christmas ornament DIY video, please? Also, have you ever considered making a mock collar for your sweaters? get a cheap blouse with a collar you like cut out enough of the collar to attach it to a tank top or bra.
