    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!

      They are so lucky to have each other!! He supports her in all her endeavors, and is there to bounce ideas off of, and you can tell she really loves him for it. 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.

    Okay. I'm a exec. assistant and literally organize people for a living. Whenever we get these types of videos from Rachel I have the strongest urge to jump on a plane and go help. It's my jam. 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.

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.

    Rachel immediately assuaging my fears by having Frodo in the sponsor segment. I was worried now that she has a dedicated work space we wouldn't be seeing as much of him

    Me living through Rachel vicariously: *yelling at the screen as she picks up the first dress* "KEEP IT, Rachel!!! KEEP IT!!!... NOOOO!!!"
    Me in real life: Lives in a school bus and has approximately 2sq feet of clothes

    I’ve spent my whole maternity leave bingeing and rebingeing your videos. It’s felt like hanging out with a friend instead of being stuck at home during this pandemic. Thank you for being so awesome and funny 🥰

    Despite rarely leaving my house, I see no problem with owning 70 evening dresses. Do I wear them? Not really. Do I love them? Absolutely. I need something to go with my 60 different pairs of shoes.
    Also, I would die if Rachel had a depop.

      Forgive my ignorance, but what is a depop?

      @@wheard5166 oh gosh. I hope this doesn't lead to you spending all your money on this app! XD
      Anyway, depop is an app where you can thrift online from independent sellers. It's set up like instagram, so it's really easy to see things you like, and follow your favorite sellers. You can even get housewares.
      It's an addiction of mine. Hope this answers your question!

    I'd say we should rally together and get Rachel some CURTAINS to hide from the neighboroos but they'd probably just wind up as dresses

    Every time Rachel talks about hiding from her neighbors looking in her windows I think “Girl you need curtains.”

    Keep the fancy stuff and wear them to parties/theatre (when stuff starts happening again) and you'll always be the most glamourous person there and everyone will be jealous of you.
