Really practical tips. Unfortunately or not, I pretty much always look like I slept in somebody’s van. No walk of shame, just always have projects going so I’m always a bit mussy. Shoes: Have at least on pair on hand that are clean and shined.
Yours is the only van channel I have seen that shows van life can be clean, neat, beautiful and gracious. There is nothing fake, deceptive, frenetic, out to impress or show off. It's wholesome, beautifully presented, inspiring, and I usually learn something important. Other times I just enjoy your company. Thanks for coming back. So glad you felt like it!
Thank you Dee. You may not realize it, but, you are a fashion icon in the van life world. Always put together and attractive. Many blessings to you and safe travels.
Dee, you are one of those people that no matter what you wear, you look wonderful. I love that you present topics like this for van lifers. Along with keeping one's van clean and neat, it is also important to ensure you are presentable in public. We men don't really concern ourselves about fashion but that our clothing is functional. I like to look neat and clean. The clothing I wear most times are shorts, tees made of non-wrinkable, wicking materials. Like you, I love shoes and have 10 to 12 pair in my van, including western boots (for dancing...lol). Once in a while I treat myself to a night out 😃😊. I donate a lot of clothes to Goodwill and will replace them with fresh items. I keep my dress up outfits covered in either a suit bag or in heavy plastic ( contractor bags) and hung on a mounted clothes bar. My tees, shorts, underwear are stored in one of the upright three-drawer plastic bins. Every item is rolled rather than folded allowing more variety of clothing selections.
Socks tip - use all same light color and all same dark color so you don’t look down at work & and find you are wearing 1 one navy & 1 black or 1 khaki & 1 cream sock from an experienced dresser in dark room. Hard lesson learned😂
Basic minimal travel wardrobes are easy. Been doing them for years, but packing for a safari in Kenya and Tanzania was life changing for me. We were limited to 15 kilos including carry on That is a carryon sized suitcase. My subsequent wardrbe choices have pretty much reflected that same mix and match minimalism, as a result. I always have a single flash silk top that takes up no space or weight for a ritzy night on the town, plus a string of fake pearls that will dress anything up. Black looks terrible on me, as do scarves, so I rely on kharkis, reds and purples with black or grey pants. I also have a few floral or loud printed arty tee shirts as options for my base layer. A couple of merino jumpers/sweaters and a red and khaki fleece jackets. I avoid really cold climates as much as I possibly can, so no ski gear, but a good down jacket for sure and another that is a bit more arty. Arty is definately my style!
Hi Dee, My wife and I are in Our 5th year of full time travel. Our vehicle is smaller than Yours so I think We probably are Minimalist. My clothing is 2 of everything. 2 T’s, 2 Underwear, 2 shorts, 2 long pants, 2 pair socks, long Johns (top and bottom, 1 Long Sleeve Dress shirt, light pullover hoodie, light down jacket, gloves, baseball hat, and winter hat. Wife’s is similar with 2 of each with additional underwear and socks. Shoes are flips, sandals, and hiking shoes. Merino wool is Our preferred fabric and all must be shed wrinkles fast, dry fast after hand washing. Colors are, like You suggested. Neutral, go with everything and layer, easily. Sorry, Wordy comment, I know but Your topic, today was spot on, as We were just going through our clothing to see if there were things We needed to change going into Summer. Thank You. Look forward to All your videos. See You out there.
@@ekdaufin1485 Actually, not doing laundry “all the time.” It takes minutes to wash out clothes. With right clothing choices, drying is fast, as well. Proper washing when near laundromat, etc. For us, it’s multi use, layering, and simple clothing styles and colors. May not be tight for Everyone, but, It works for us.
👋👩🐞I ❤️ how much information you share about all you have learned over time on your van life journey ! Thank you for sharing! Great video 👍🤗 Be Safe/Be Happy - I'll see you on the next video 🙂
Great ideas... "dressing up" to go shopping or whatever...i find that earrings and a dash of lipstick, keeping hair and nails neat (I'm a polish fanatic but that's probably not most) makes me feel confident. TFS 😻 Britt
I love this video Dee, I am not a van lifer, but I am now retired and work mostly outdoors around my home. I've always worked in suits, heels, full makeup, etc. I did give away 90% of my wardrobe. However, trying to establish a useful, minimalistic wardrobe that works for me now is new territory. Your advice, the 80/20, what fits, keeping items that don't wrinkle (no rips etc) , and textures such as the merino wool blends is very helpful. Most everything you talk about in all your videos is very applicable to my life. Thanks so much Dee, have a wonderful week! 🥰😀
I am loving wearing Minnetonka Moccasins or boots more all the time. They allow my feet to move naturally. No arch supports allow my feet to exercise the natural arch & get stronger. Getting them wet is fine. Just let dry naturally & brush the deer skin.
Thank you for the tips. I also carry a handful of beautiful large merino/cashmere shawls, nice to put around your shoulders when it is getting a little bit cold - and can dress up a basic outfit perfectly. And in winter time, I just need them to keep warm.
Great tips Dee!😎👍 As a guy, my fashion life is simple in Vanlife.😁 Shorts and T-shirt is 90% of my wardrobe. I totally agree with colors that easily blended together for top and bottom.
Thank You Dee - I am so happy you decided to keep making video’s as I really connect with your information, you inspire me to think outside the box! Another great and helpful video.
In my experience, there are many people these days, particularly young people, who look like they slept in the park, not a van. Dee you're always wonderfully kitted out, you'd look good in anything! Check out men's clothes too, they are often cheaper and more practical. Clothes are often unisex now, particularly outdoor gear. Men seem to hate colours so there are lots of good colour choices left! Thanks Dee ❤
Welcome back. Guys have it made. We wear t shirt jeans and shorts. If you've ever seen Walmart Ian's people look they just got of bed and came in the store without changing clothes. Lol.
Hi Dee. With planning you have quite the wardrobe. 🙂👍 Thankyou for sharing what works for you and maybe for others. Safe travels. Happy to see you back ❤️☕🚐
I found this very useful, even though I don't live in a van or camper I do live in a very small basement apartment with not a lot of storage so it's important to have only what I need and of all things I have the most trouble with clothes so thanks 😊
So many great tips for any situation. I love having a black and navy unfaded jeans in my wardrobe that I wear when I want a classy look. Love your storage suggestions. Van organisation is so important for mental health and wellbeing.
This is easily the area that's least covered, at least in the channels I watch. Being a guy, this is not something I put much thought into generally. Which means I mostly look like a bum! :) The only exception is in hiking/backpacking gear.
Lol! Yeah…It doesn’t matter if you aren’t planning to be doing anything but hiking and outdoor activities. But I often need to dress ‘business casual’ and not look like I just got back from a backpacking trip 😜 for work and conferences, etc.
YES. YES. YES. No reason not to show your best look on the road. Three secrets to share. #1 Capsule Wardrobe (some have it down to 40 items) #2 Packing Cubes (I traveled for six months with 7 cubes in a 32" LL Bean duffle bag & two 18" long compression bags (for footware and outerwear.) #3 Do hand laundry almost daily. Wring them out then lay on dashboard then cover with a microfiber cloth the same color as the dashboard. Even on the cold days its dry in 12-18 hours. So rarely have dirty clothes. Finally no rule you have to return with the same clothes you left with. Consider routinely swapping out a couple new pieces a month. I just feel better with something new in the duffle.
You always look very well put together girl. Sporty, stylish, comfortable and beautiful! Van life or not, you are rocking it in the fashion department.
I love all 5 tips,they would be so helpful for when i go visit family. It would definitely help with packing and knowing i can pull out of the bag ready to wear. ❤ your videos
❤ Good Idea! You don't have to worry your in your PJ, when an emergency happens,or a stalker waiting for you! Plus you are ready for the next Day,less cloths to wash!👍👌🤞✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌞🌄
I don’t live in a van but I tent camp a lot and I mean a lot, I always bring one decent simple outfit in case I decide to go to a restaurant but the rest of my camping clothes…… is just about what has stains or some rips because I know I’m just going to ruin my regular clothes. Again I don’t live in a van though, it just takes me a couple of minutes to change to nicer clothes since my Gazelle tent is very roomy. Good advice but what I really want to know is how is it that you’re hair always looks amazing. Thanks for the tips.
I watched this with the chat from last night scrolling by as the video progressed. Was fun to see people commenting along with you, Dee! Some really great tips there. You really always do look so put together. Your ideas are obviously good! 😊
WOW! I love it. Not only practical, logical but uniquely stylish. All basic but quality. You know Dee, I really understand. I owned my own 18-wheeler for 7 and 1/2 years. Lived out of my beautiful customized semi truck home. Space was premium and important real estate inside my tiny home. I thought similarly about wardrobe. I was going from one extreme weather to another so like you everything on board that I might need, had to be there. But not too much, because every piece has to serve several purposes exactly as you stated. I could be in the Yukon one day found myself in Florida the next week. I appreciate your summary on frabrics. Thank you for finding this video for me. I really appreciate it. I'm thinking about going out on the road again and I just enjoy your videos so much. ☮️💜
Very useful strategy, like your style, you look great! . Even if I love colourful clothes, when I travel I opt for neutral colours except for light large scarves ( pop color ) they don’t take much space and I can use them around my waist over a bathing suit , neck, shoulders, head when I ‘m cold, protect myself from the sun , use them with magnets as a privacy screen on my hatch ( I like when they float in the wind), and finally even to wrap things to carry on walks. Also I like to have a more dressed outfit if I’m invited for a special occasion. Have a great week!
Oh no ! My English is not good…I’m French speaking. I guess I wrote mean instead of ment? I just don’t know how is it possible to talk to you, which I would love
Also I like socks with motifs and Color they are like a smile at the bottom of my pants. Lately with aging and grey hair I’ve switched from black to dark blue, in French it is called bleue marin. I live just north of Vermont border in Quebec province.Cheers!
Excellent info I’m really loving the mosquito suit.. mosquitoes absolutely love me... they stalk me and follow me wherever I go. I can’t escape them. I run but I cannot hide 😢😂 I’ve heard you talk about Marino wool before. I need to get a few items and the gladiator shoes and and and... oh my husband is going to hate you but I love you ❤ Btw you are looking great! Your skin glows and your hair is looking so healthy. The break is doing you good Lookafteryoursweetlovingself ❤❤❤❤
Great ideas Dee, & nice to see you back ,we have a boat & I have to keep the clothes aboard for both cold & hot weather, when it comes time to go home,I take all dirty clothes & linens & wash,iron & pack away for when we go out fishing again. It is a 36 ft. Fly-bridge cruiser built in 1989. A bit old but just what we need to go fishing & crabbing in. We are in our 70’s & this is our retirement, . Keep the videos coming at your leisure. Elaine from Queensland,Australia.
Very helpful tips, you always look so stylish. No way you have that many shoes!!!! My tip is don't wear your shirt inside out. ;) Oh that has happened to me a few times, ha ha.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful and useful clothing information. Your rolling wardrobe is well equipped. Everyone stay warm safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Hey Lady Bugout!! I really like your advice to dress appropriately, I am going to make more of an effort. You are too much and so good to see you back on the ol box!!
Hey Ms. Dee. gotta say your system works for you! I have heard from Cindy (my wife) many times, "Your're not wearing that are you?" I reckon I don't put much thought on my appearance.That's just me. I hope your path will bring you to Fredrock this fall, we plan to be there for Jonnie and Bev's meet-ups, would love to get to meet you. Take care of you, have a great day!
I have grays, browns blacks as well. For pops of colour and ease of storage I use scarfs - light summer and warm winter ones. I don't wear jeans as i find them hot in the summer, cold in the winter and take forever to dry. 💐 😊❤🇨🇦
I have a base wardrobe that is mainly grey, back and dark blue. To add pops of colour I have two very lightweight sheer tunic tops that will go with all my base colours. They dress up even basic jeans and black long sleeve top and a pair of dress boots. They take up very little room and are very easy to launder..
Great video 😊. Great tips no matter where you live. I have two rules for clothing, never pay retail (when I travel I love to check out the small town’s on the way, (they always have thrift stores) and when I buy something, something has to go. I don’t live in my suv, but I live as if I do, especially when it comes to “stuff” . As always, great job 😎
Hi 🐞 out just got here so I’ll have to watch from start ❤️❤️❤️❤️much love happy travels to you and you always look wonderful too thank you for sharing 😇
Hi Dee. I really enjoyed all of your tips today. Can’t believe how much clothing you actually fit in…that’s awesome to have that much choice. I want to try merino wool, I’m hoping to order a couple pieces to start that first layer. Thank you for your inspiration. Awaiting my first van trip, once the black flies leave. Cheers from Eastern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Love every thing. I think my favorite outfit of yours is the khaki colored pants with the white shirt where you also wear the straw hat. I like it because it’s breezy, stylish and comfortable looking. Very well put together. Love the pictures at the end of this video. Do you ever wear a dress? And do you use accessories to change up your looks for a special occasion? Is jewelry an option for vanlifers? Oh the rabbit hole of questions I could have.
Thank you, Rita!!! I think plenty of vanlifers use jewelry and other accessories. My skin reacts to metals even good gold or silver so if I wear jewelry it is usually some kind of stone on a natural cord 😛 I used to carry a dress. I went to my nephew’s wedding a while back and wore it but ended up leaving it with my sister-in-law because I’m over 3 years that was the only time I ever wore it!!! I figure I can get a nice outfit for special occasions if I need to.
That was some very helpful information. Not only did you explain the number of items in each category, you explained the 80/20 rule you use and the different types of material you wear too. I have closets full of clothes that I have bought and never worn. I plan to get rid of most very soon and I will use your methods. I will be watching this one again. Haha. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you to all who joined me! So fun!
Really practical tips. Unfortunately or not, I pretty much always look like I slept in somebody’s van. No walk of shame, just always have projects going so I’m always a bit mussy.

I look like I sleep in a van even though I sleep in a house.
Lol it happens!!!😝
Me too
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 me too!

Thank you Dee. You may not realize it, but, you are a fashion icon in the van life world. Always put together and attractive.
Many blessings to you and safe travels.
Lol… I highly doubt that. But I’m glad some people think so😛
Your color scheme isn’t boring! You wear basic neutral colors which can easily be mixed & match! You look neat and classy!
Thank you, Joyce!!!🥰

You can imagine the variety of clothes we need in Canada ❤
Yes!!! More layers than I put on😝
...just in one day...
Inspiring video even for sticks and bricks!
10 pants (1 converts to shorts)
12 tops
1 shorts
10 outwear
2 base layers (winter)
3 bralettes
7 underwear
7 socks
10 shoes
Yep 😝
Very well done! Thanks for the ideas! I'm good right up until my dog jumps on me 😅
Lol… I understand that because I’ve got a lot of friends with dogs😆
What dresses you the best is your smile 😊.. be good! Bye 👋
Aww thank you😁
Socks tip - use all same light color and all same dark color so you don’t look down at work & and find you are wearing 1 one navy & 1 black or 1 khaki & 1 cream sock from an experienced dresser in dark room. Hard lesson learned😂
So true! Although, I hear that style is in these days-mismatched socks😆
You’ve given me ideas even though I don’t live in a van.
Glad it was helpful!🤗💃🏻🙌🏼
Basic minimal travel wardrobes are easy. Been doing them for years, but packing for a safari in Kenya and Tanzania was life changing for me. We were limited to 15 kilos including carry on That is a carryon sized suitcase. My subsequent wardrbe choices have pretty much reflected that same mix and match minimalism, as a result. I always have a single flash silk top that takes up no space or weight for a ritzy night on the town, plus a string of fake pearls that will dress anything up. Black looks terrible on me, as do scarves, so I rely on kharkis, reds and purples with black or grey pants. I also have a few floral or loud printed arty tee shirts as options for my base layer. A couple of merino jumpers/sweaters and a red and khaki fleece jackets. I avoid really cold climates as much as I possibly can, so no ski gear, but a good down jacket for sure and another that is a bit more arty. Arty is definately my style!
Sounds like a great experience and a great wardrobe!!!
Dear Dee so glad you are back!
Thank you Vicki
Hi Dee, My wife and I are in Our 5th year of full time travel. Our vehicle is smaller than Yours so I think We probably are Minimalist. My clothing is 2 of everything. 2 T’s, 2 Underwear, 2 shorts, 2 long pants, 2 pair socks, long Johns (top and bottom, 1 Long Sleeve Dress shirt, light pullover hoodie, light down jacket, gloves, baseball hat, and winter hat. Wife’s is similar with 2 of each with additional underwear and socks. Shoes are flips, sandals, and hiking shoes.

Look forward to All your videos. See You out there.
That’s very minimalist! It’s so much easier. I’ll get there some day😛
@@LadyBugout Everyone is different. Key is to be happy with the choices but willing to adapt, as needed.
But you are doing laundry all th time and weather prevents drying often. How can you two have less space?
@@ekdaufin1485 Actually, not doing laundry “all the time.” It takes minutes to wash out clothes. With right clothing choices, drying is fast, as well.

I think so too-not for others as much as for ourselves 🥰
👋👩🐞I ❤️ how much information you share about all you have learned over time on your van life journey ! Thank you for sharing! Great video 👍🤗 Be Safe/Be Happy - I'll see you on the next video 🙂
Great ideas... "dressing up" to go shopping or whatever...i find that earrings and a dash of lipstick, keeping hair and nails neat (I'm a polish fanatic but that's probably not most) makes me feel confident. TFS 😻 Britt
Hey Britt! Yes, I agree it’s good to find those simple things that make you feel confident!
So glad to see your are still giving tips for thoes living the van life.
It’s good to be back!

Getting them wet is fine. Just let dry naturally & brush the deer skin.
I’ll have to check those out. I love shoes that feel like you are barefoot and allow toes to move☺️
Thank you for the tips. I also carry a handful of beautiful large merino/cashmere shawls, nice to put around your shoulders when it is getting a little bit cold - and can dress up a basic outfit perfectly. And in winter time, I just need them to keep warm.
That’s a great idea! Shawls are so useful🤗
Yes and easy to store in a cushion cover!!
You keep getting more beautiful, Dee 😍 Van life agrees with you!
Aww thanks! I agree that this lifestyle is good for me🥰
Great tips Dee!😎👍 As a guy, my fashion life is simple in Vanlife.😁 Shorts and T-shirt is 90% of my wardrobe. I totally agree with colors that easily blended together for top and bottom.
Men get away with a lot more clothing-wise. Even if you’re clothes are messy, it won’t get you looks in public the same as a woman.
You always dress well, Tim!
Thank You Dee - I am so happy you decided to keep making video’s as I really connect with your information, you inspire me to think outside the box! Another great and helpful video.

What no storage shed! I thought a shed was required for life. LOL
You are definitely organized! 😎
Lol…no shed!!!
Welcome back. Guys have it made. We wear t shirt jeans and shorts. If you've ever seen Walmart Ian's people look they just got of bed and came in the store without changing clothes. Lol.
Lol…so true😝

Should of been a model🥰
That’s kind of you💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼
You look cool in all your clothes. Like a model❤
Aww that is kind of you to say! 🥹😎💃🏻
My style is 1940s fashion, so I will be curating trousers, blouses, knit cardigans, shoes and coats, etc from that era 😊
Nice! That’s a perfect way to do it☺️
I only manage to get out of my sticks and bricks without wrinkles about three days a week. LOL
Lol…it happens😝
So many great tips for any situation. I love having a black and navy unfaded jeans in my wardrobe that I wear when I want a classy look. Love your storage suggestions. Van organisation is so important for mental health and wellbeing.
It’s amazing how nice a pair of unfaded jeans can look!!! ☺️
This is easily the area that's least covered, at least in the channels I watch. Being a guy, this is not something I put much thought into generally. Which means I mostly look like a bum! :) The only exception is in hiking/backpacking gear.

I’m so glad it was helpful, Marie!
Thanks for sharing. Downsizing and layering is the way to go. Your color palette is very practical and sporty chic! Love it.
Thanks! I try 😝
You always look nice Dee. All great tips. Thank you!
Thank you, Dee!!!
❤ Good Idea! You don't have to worry your in your PJ, when an emergency happens,or a stalker waiting for you! Plus you are ready for the next Day,less cloths to wash!👍👌🤞✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌞🌄

I'm in trouble. My entire wardrobe looks like pajamas . Excellent tips. Clothes, too many is a weakness for me. And I am n9t fashionable.
Lol…hey, if they make you feel good, go for it!!!
I watched this with the chat from last night scrolling by as the video progressed. Was fun to see people commenting along with you, Dee!
Some really great tips there. You really always do look so put together. Your ideas are obviously good! 😊
Hey Coralie! It was fun to be ‘live’ with people. It inspires me to think of doing a livestream for sure now! 😛
WOW! I love it. Not only practical, logical but uniquely stylish. All basic but quality.
You know Dee, I really understand. I owned my own 18-wheeler for 7 and 1/2 years. Lived out of my beautiful customized semi truck home.

Yes, mosquitoes can be menacing!!! Lol…well, I hope he sees the logic 😝
The verdict is as often as possible to rehome the good use items 😀👍
Agreed!!!
I always put all of my red colors together in the same area of a bin or drawer and label the outside.
Great idea!!!
hey Miss Dee, so glad to see you back, like all of your followers
Thank you, Glenda!!!🥰
Great ideas Dee, & nice to see you back ,we have a boat & I have to keep the clothes aboard for both cold & hot weather, when it comes time to go home,I take all dirty clothes & linens & wash,iron & pack away for when we go out fishing again. It is a 36 ft. Fly-bridge cruiser built in 1989. A bit old but just what we need to go fishing & crabbing in. We are in our 70’s & this is our retirement, . Keep the videos coming at your leisure.

Thank you Elaine! It’s good to be back. That’s a great way to stay organized and ready to go!!!!🙌🏼💃🏻🤗

Very helpful tips, you always look so stylish. No way you have that many shoes!!!! My tip is don't wear your shirt inside out. ;) Oh that has happened to me a few times, ha ha.
Hahaha I have had that happen on occasion 😛

Thanks, Michelle! Glad it was helpful🤗
This is great! I'm a merino girl too!
It’s a great fabric!!!☺️
Hey Ms. Dee. gotta say your system works for you! I have heard from Cindy (my wife) many times, "Your're not wearing that are you?" I reckon I don't put much thought on my appearance.That's just me. I hope your path will bring you to Fredrock this fall, we plan to be there for Jonnie and Bev's meet-ups, would love to get to meet you. Take care of you, have a great day!
You do you!!!🙌🏼💪🏼💃🏻
Great video. Now I feel much validated for having 6 shoes and 1 winter boot in my van. I like variety.
Lol…It’s still crazy to me that I have so many 😝
Thank you for sharing all those tips. I have mainly black clothes. I do like cotton though as I love the soft feel of my cotton tops on my skin.
You are welcome! Yes, cotton is soft!!! ☺️
Dee you look gorgeous anything you wear
That is very kind of you to say. Thank you☺️
Miss ur energy ❤️💫🙏

@@skooliecarol8542 Nice!!! I'm in Canada😝meeting with some wonderful people here.
Nice...canada....where
I have grays, browns blacks as well. For pops of colour and ease of storage I use scarfs - light summer and warm winter ones. I don't wear jeans as i find them hot in the summer, cold in the winter and take forever to dry. 💐 😊❤🇨🇦
Awesome! Scarfs are a good idea🤗
I have a base wardrobe that is mainly grey, back and dark blue. To add pops of colour I have two very lightweight sheer tunic tops that will go with all my base colours. They dress up even basic jeans and black long sleeve top and a pair of dress boots. They take up very little room and are very easy to launder..
Great ideas! Love the tunics🥰
One of your best things is that fabulous hair!
Awww, well I’m planning on a video about it coming soon😝
The full length mirror is a real thing.I do the old army gig line( buttons on shirt belt and pants line up) and hope for the best
Lol yep… get those buttons lined up😆
Thank you for sharing, you're very organized.
Hey Rita! You are welcome☺️
Good tips that translate to a "male" point of view as well. Thanks Dee..
I was hoping that would be the case!!!
It wouldn't matter what you wore, you'd still look great.
Thank you☺️
Great video 😊. Great tips no matter where you live. I have two rules for clothing, never pay retail (when I travel I love to check out the small town’s on the way, (they always have thrift stores) and when I buy something, something has to go. I don’t live in my suv, but I live as if I do, especially when it comes to “stuff” . As always, great job 😎
Those are great tips, Rick!
Very helpful. This should be applied to sticks and bricks living as well. I’m ready for a closet purge!
That’s awesome! Hope it goes well💃🏻
Very helpful. Glad your back!
Thank you, Maria!
Thanks for all your tips - gone change my wardrobe!
Glad it was helpful!
There are days when I look like I got dressed in the dark AND in a van AND Walmartian style
😂🤣😂🤣
Very pretty, well put together .
Thank you, Jean!
You always look great. Safe travels.

Hi Dee. I really enjoyed all of your tips today. Can’t believe how much clothing you actually fit in…that’s awesome to have that much choice.
I want to try merino wool, I’m hoping to order a couple pieces to start that first layer. Thank you for your inspiration. Awaiting my first van trip, once the black flies leave. Cheers from Eastern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Great advice for any wardrobe. Thank you again for sharing. Have a blessed week!!!
Awesome! I’m excited for your first trip💃🏻💪🏼🙌🏼
Thank you, Kathy!
It's very difficult for me to select what clothes are necessary and what not. I'll take into account your tips! ❤
I’m glad you found it helpful☺️
Most of my clothes are black. If not. They are very dark. Only one print top. I like solids. Thanks for the wool tip.
I get that!!! It’s just easier 😛
Thank you Dee. Very practical and versatile.
Thank you!!!☺️
Love every thing. I think my favorite outfit of yours is the khaki colored pants with the white shirt where you also wear the straw hat. I like it because it’s breezy, stylish and comfortable looking. Very well put together.
Love the pictures at the end of this video.
Do you ever wear a dress? And do you use accessories to change up your looks for a special occasion? Is jewelry an option for vanlifers? Oh the rabbit hole of questions I could have.
Thank you, Rita!!! I think plenty of vanlifers use jewelry and other accessories. My skin reacts to metals even good gold or silver so if I wear jewelry it is usually some kind of stone on a natural cord 😛 I used to carry a dress. I went to my nephew’s wedding a while back and wore it but ended up leaving it with my sister-in-law because I’m over 3 years that was the only time I ever wore it!!! I figure I can get a nice outfit for special occasions if I need to.
That was some very helpful information. Not only did you explain the number of items in each category, you explained the 80/20 rule you use and the different types of material you wear too. I have closets full of clothes that I have bought and never worn. I plan to get rid of most very soon and I will use your methods. I will be watching this one again. Haha. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I’m so glad it was helpful, Leanne!
That was a lot of fun! Definitely go live sometime!!!❤
This has given me incentive. Not as scary as I made it out to be in my head😝
