“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!
Real conversation I had with my husband while we watched this together... (*Rachel deciding to keep majority of skirts*) Husband: Her husband is going to give her so much crap for keeping all those. Me: Maybe. But in her house tour video Rachel casually mentioned he played Magic...which means Husband (a recovering MTG player & card hoarder): OH...he no longer has the high ground 🤣
at first I thought you meant a sickly Victorian child wandering the streets in a nightgown was declaring to the night air that this video was "The greatest aesthetic since whiskey grandpa" 😂
Today: Rachel is purging her closet. Tabs a skirt. Tries it on and decides "Donate!". 3 months from now: Rachel walks through the same consignment store and finds the same skirt. " ooh! Hellooooo beautiful. You're going home with me!"
She should have kept the green skirt reserved for Christmas, though. It looks so beautiful and really, while brown sure is nice that green was awesome.
I do I actually would love to just have a day outing with her. Even if it's just a I don't want to do anything day. Seems like an awesome person. My 15 year old loves her.
I get worse at it with every purge, because it hurts so badly that I am more and more careful with what I buy after that. So that next time I'm choosing between perfectly curated items that are perfect for me...🤡
My husband’s company transferred him every five years and the rest of us moved along with him. We have discovered that you should keep anything that you have a single doubt about. 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.
When Sponser!Rachel came up I literally gasped and said "She's so pretty!". My opinion on your bangs does not matter, BUT if you were looking for it, they're wonderful I love them
YES!! When the video started I was all “she’s so pretty, does she even know?” Then sponsor Rachel came on and I was like “who is this vixen and where does she find the audacity to be so breathtakingly GORGEOUS!?” In short I too dig the bangs.
Festive + western = festern: typically used to describe clothing a "city slicker" might wear when trying to fit in at a rural setting. Including but, not limited to: ho downs, square dances, dude ranches, etc.
Heheh how did y'all know I went back fiddling with the slider and was trying to get a good screenshot of that exact skirt so I could try and sew it?? 😂
I feel like i went over to a friends house while they're packing and i'm just chillen on their bed while they go through their clothes. I love these vibes. Your content makes me feel less lonely sometimes.
I felt deeply connected to Rachel when she waved around the poofy pirate sleeves, as if that in itself was proof of the garment's value (which is is). So excited for you!
That green dress is so cute tho! Very "forest fae who doesn't want to steal you away but really is obligated to but will do it in a friendly way" vibes. Also caboose ruffles
I know everyone has the "what if I ever need to visit the Queen???" dress in their wardrobe, and I would like to point out that formal events exist. If you're just going to need to drop another obscene amount on a dress for a wedding or similar event.... just keep your small selection of fancy stuff.
Yes, that one gorgeous mid-calf length sleeveless dress from black rose-patterned brocade. I've had it for almost 5 years. Never worn. Still not getting rid of it))
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
It's really hard leaving a home you've known your entire life. Maybe it would help if you took a piece with you that you can incorporate into your new home? Like a knob or a light fixture? Or even a plant from the backyard?🙂
Rachel! I have no idea if you'll see this, but today I made myself a renaissance overdress to wear to the ren fair next weekend and I SELF DRAFTED my own pattern using tangential knowledge I picked up from watching your videos and my foggy memories of my mom teaching me how to sew when I was like 10. 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!! Thank you so much for making this moment possible, and for being such a constant source of joy, humor, and puns.
@@anenglishlife7210 measure carefully. it always springs back shorter than we think it will... cut longer than you think you will need to... take much less off than you guess you should. .. a tiny bit can still make a big difference. .
The “feel that Bilbo energy” is the highest peak of peaks possible on the UA-cams. I never felt so spiritually connected to anything in my life before. Thank you. ❤️
Am I the only one who found herself actually yelling out loud "Donate!" or "Keep!" whenever I disagreed with Rachel's choices in this purge, as if I had the power to reach back in time and through the interwebs and change her mind?
hehe--I kept saying "Rachel--c'mon you're supposed to be purging...LOL" I get it though---I've recently don't some closet purging myself and then---I went out and bought a new wardrobe because I needed to. I had been working from home for about 14 months due to Covid lockdown and then we were told we were going back to the office in July and I Felt it was a good time to purge my wardrobe and buy me a new one..
A rule I try to stick to when I clean out my closet is: if you say "I don't know" at any point, it's gone! It has helped me immensely. Also, always keep secret pants.
Rachel, my closet hack for moving hack is to leave them on the hangers and just slip a trash bag over a bunch of them and tie it up. When you get to the new closet you just hang it and remove the trash bag! ❤️
So many so stinkin cutes! My new rule is: "As long as I have less skirts than Rachel, I can buy more." I thank you for your unknowing contribution to my life!
Did anyone else immediately go like "No, I want that! Don't donate it!" when you saw a piece go into the donate pile that you like?! I collect odd, beautiful, and vintage pieces too, though. More than I really need.
off topic but that mirror is such a dream. I'm so happy for you guys! can't wait to see your new house! edit: also I'm loving the 60s/70s vibe with sponsor rachel. your blouse is adorable and your bangs look super cute straightened!
I love the green dress from the end, I also feel you should know it's entirely ok to get dressed up for no reason. Point that dress looks amazing on you and you should wear it whenever you frickin want to. It hugs you just right, does wonders for your features and hair, and works so well with your skin tone.
Absolutely massive W for thrifters in your area 😭😭😭😭 there is such huge joy in being in the right thrift store on the right day and finding a bunch of similarly themed cool stuff, clearly donated by a cool person cleaning out their closet (well... and you always quietly hope it isn't the worst case scenario because that'd be really sad 💀)
We are moving over the next 2 months and I am NOT looking forward to moving my clothes. Watching clean out and pack up videos helps me get motivated so thank you!
I so admire your ability to try so many things on in one day. My closet is a fraction the size of yours, and yet whenever I do a closet purge, I give up actually trying things on…like…immediately. Also, wishing you all the best with your move, but I also know in my heart I will look back with nostalgia on the Maksy-drops-it-like-it’s-hot moments to hide from the neighbors.
Moving from a "home" is so much harder than moving from a "house." Just let yourself feel all the feels, but think positively of the future and all the fun things you can do in your new house, soon to be home. You've got this!
I'm nosy and like seeing what's in someone else's closet, so this was definitely a fun watch! 😄 I meant to comment this on your last video, (apologies for how sappy it is) but when I get sad thinking of things like this (change in general) I just always remind myself that I'm getting the best of both worlds; you get to keep all the wonderful memories and time you spent there forever while also having a new place to love too, so it's a win-win -- especially since the best parts of the house are coming along with you. (Your family.) Anyhoos, good luck with the move 😊 hope everything goes well for you!
I was feeling proud of you everytime you said donate, I think you are getting better! Maybe there weird coming from a stranger but you've got a lot of us cheering you on and supporting every ‘swooshy=keep’ moment too 😁
Yay!!! We love a good closet purge. Good luck with the move, Rachel ❤️ Sidenote: I also have a pupper with the all important nubbin, and may I just say… 👌🏻
My family's military, we just moved, and I'm revisiting my organizing/purging chaos-feelings with this video! Best of luck to you, Rachel, REMEMBER TO HYDRATE!!
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. That way you can transport them and just hang them up again, instead of having to pack everything in boxes and rehang it all.
This is exactly how I sort through things. If there is even a hint that I’m going to regret getting rid of something, I keep it and hope I’m strong enough to get rid of it another day... I’m also moving right now- so I feel your pain and wish you luck with yours!
There's a proven corollary of Murphy's Law which I call "Crafter's Dilemma"... Any time you go ahead and get rid of something you've been hanging onto for a decade, within a week it will inevitably prove to be EXACTLY the item you need for a new project... 🙈😹
Rachel, I LIVE to watch people sort through their 100% cute closets and purge things. The chaos is a bonus. I hope your moving process goes as smoothly as possible and that your new house is lovely!
I used to purchase items because they were "unique" or because "I don't have anything like this in my closet" but I have actually learned that in most cases if I don't have anything else like it, it's because it's not my aesthetic and I won't wear it. 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.
The process of selling my home has been a never ending nightmare of postponed closing dates and living out of boxes. Thank you for sharing your move journey, it's lightened up my own journey.
I for one definitely wanna see all the cute clothes! I love how each piece has a story, memory and a vibe.... grandma nun? lost victorian child? lay frustrated victorian? these are GOLDEN!!!
You have a unique ability to rock anything you put on. Your palette covers pretty much any color the paint department can mix, and any pattern in existence (and the ones that don't just yet). You'd make a space suit look elegant and sophisticated!
I came home from work (I work three jobs at the moment I’ve been awake since 7am and it’s now 1 am) I had a mental break down and cried for an hour, seeing this was up while I was trying to have dinner literally made me feel so relieved thank you for my life your videos make my day
Rachel-- for the pieces you're keeping, but haven't worn in a while, it's a great time to rediscover them!! You have some beautiful pieces of clothing and you always look so lovely!!!!
Rachel ducking out of view of the window when Frodo barked is the most relatable thing I've ever seen on YT. 😂 "Nevermind me, I'm pretending not to be home!"
My favorite closet haul video activity is shouting "Yes, donate it! You go girl." back at the TV while I drink coffee knowing I have a closet upstairs with clothes that I haven't worn in ten years. 😂
Good luck with the move. Hopefully, it won’t be too stressful. Be kind to yourself, weeks like this can be very trying on the soul. It is a PROCESS! Thank you for sharing your journey with moving. To shoot, edit, and post during this time, shows how committed you are to not only this channel but also to us (your viewers/subscribers). Again, thank you!
“The older I get, the more I realise I don’t have time for basic.” R. Maksy 2021. I can’t decide if I need that as a cross stitch pattern or a tattoo, but damn if that didn’t resonate… Also this was the kick up the backside I needed to do this myself as well, so I did a ‘clear-out-along’ with it. Thanks for sharing this!! Good luck with the move.
I know it doesn't help but....the green "Christmas use " skirt was so so nice 😂. I've been moving several times but I'm super trained in packing things so it has never been a problem. But the problem was leaving my rented apartments especially as one was my first "finally moving from parents house"one. I've moved alone two times ,and two times I've cried a river. Moving is always hard, in mind and body, but you're going towards a new starting point of your life. Changes are always precious.
Your content is so wholesome and cozy and also highly recommended when I look up autumn vibes 🍁 this video inspired me to actually go through my laundry that’s been piled up all month
Girl...cry as much as you need too. Moving is ROUGH. It is really hard when you have been in a house for a while. I am not a cry-er but when we bought our house and moved this summer... waterfalls.
My mom passed away a couple of years ago, but she and I loved watching Bernadette Banner and Cathy Hay. I have no doubt she would have loved your videos, as well as volunteer as tribute for the clothing donation. Thank you for bringing up happy memories. 💜 Also, you should do a subscriber spacial for your clothes donations. I would definitely pay for some of those skirts. (and I usually hate skirts)
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!👏🏻👍🏻💜
You should make a video using the pieces you want to assign to characters/creative pieces! Also, best fashion show I've ever seen. Approving mom vibes 10/10.
You're an inspiration, I am stubbornly resolved to be excited for the time I get to have my own space and charge over my own life (even though I am terrified lol)
For the pale green dress at the end, you could totally do a “Tinkerbell: But Make it Vintage” cosplay!!
Edit: Guys, she did it!!
that's exactly what I thought! It's so gorgeous
I was thinking more of Tiana, but tinkerbell too omg
We were screaming Tinkerbell as soon as we saw the dress!
Or Tiana but vinatge!
Yesssss

I wish I had Rachel's fashion sense myself, she makes me also want to reinvent myself.
YAY! I'm so proud of you, Franny!
It's so nice to wear clothes that are not only comfy and practical, but make you feel pretty 😊so happy I started wearing skirts again

I do I actually would love to just have a day outing with her. Even if it's just a I don't want to do anything day. Seems like an awesome person. My 15 year old loves her.

Uhhh did anyone else get this comment?
@@spookysiamesecat4214 Yes, sadly. The spammers are out in force. Report it.

My family's military, we just moved, and I'm revisiting my organizing/purging chaos-feelings with this video! Best of luck to you, Rachel, REMEMBER TO HYDRATE!!
And diet coke doesn't count as hydrate lol
@@camouflagejumpsuit nor does the iced coffee !!!
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. That way you can transport them and just hang them up again, instead of having to pack everything in boxes and rehang it all.
When she dropped that empty box on the floor... *chef's kiss* got some serotonin on the noise alone
This is exactly how I sort through things. If there is even a hint that I’m going to regret getting rid of something, I keep it and hope I’m strong enough to get rid of it another day... I’m also moving right now- so I feel your pain and wish you luck with yours!
There's a proven corollary of Murphy's Law which I call "Crafter's Dilemma"... Any time you go ahead and get rid of something you've been hanging onto for a decade, within a week it will inevitably prove to be EXACTLY the item you need for a new project... 🙈😹
Rachel, I LIVE to watch people sort through their 100% cute closets and purge things. The chaos is a bonus. I hope your moving process goes as smoothly as possible and that your new house is lovely!
Closet Chaos Rachel giving me Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski vibes. Delightful.
I used to purchase items because they were "unique" or because "I don't have anything like this in my closet" but I have actually learned that in most cases if I don't have anything else like it, it's because it's not my aesthetic and I won't wear it. 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.
I love seeing your clothes. I have a growing collection of clothes I actually like wearing.
The process of selling my home has been a never ending nightmare of postponed closing dates and living out of boxes.
Thank you for sharing your move journey, it's lightened up my own journey.
i hope it all goes smoothly for you.
Rachel: keep. Keep keep. Keep. Maybe, no keep. Keep.
Me: this the the content I subscribed for. Haha ♥️
I for one definitely wanna see all the cute clothes! I love how each piece has a story, memory and a vibe.... grandma nun? lost victorian child? lay frustrated victorian? these are GOLDEN!!!
You have a unique ability to rock anything you put on. Your palette covers pretty much any color the paint department can mix, and any pattern in existence (and the ones that don't just yet). You'd make a space suit look elegant and sophisticated!
I adored every freaking second of this... the tiny "keep" is now a noise that I involuntarily say, with no meaning, at random intervals.
RACHEL YOU'RE A PRINCESS
good luck with moving, I'm getting ready to fall in love with your next house!
Good luck with the move and thanks for giving us one last closet purge to close the chapter. You can do it!!
I came home from work (I work three jobs at the moment I’ve been awake since 7am and it’s now 1 am) I had a mental break down and cried for an hour, seeing this was up while I was trying to have dinner literally made me feel so relieved thank you for my life your videos make my day
Hey, take care of yourself !
You know what happens when you burn the candle at "both ends" ?! NO CANDLE ! :/
@@m.maclellan7147 ttttt thank u! I am trying to, hopefully I’ll end up staying only with one job if things go well ♥️♥️♥️
8:38 Dang it.... I absolutely love this one 😍😂
"the older I get the more I realize, I don't have time for basic" is my new life motto.
Rachel-- for the pieces you're keeping, but haven't worn in a while, it's a great time to rediscover them!! You have some beautiful pieces of clothing and you always look so lovely!!!!
i shall now always toss things whilst crouching down and saying: “keeep!”
"I don't have time for basic" is IMMEDIATELY going in my style inspiration journal, thank you so much
Rachel ducking out of view of the window when Frodo barked is the most relatable thing I've ever seen on YT. 😂 "Nevermind me, I'm pretending not to be home!"
My favorite closet haul video activity is shouting "Yes, donate it! You go girl." back at the TV while I drink coffee knowing I have a closet upstairs with clothes that I haven't worn in ten years. 😂
Good luck with the move. Hopefully, it won’t be too stressful. Be kind to yourself, weeks like this can be very trying on the soul. It is a PROCESS! Thank you for sharing your journey with moving. To shoot, edit, and post during this time, shows how committed you are to not only this channel but also to us (your viewers/subscribers). Again, thank you!
This is exactly how my closet clean-out went when I moved a few months ago. I never realized how attached I was, and still am, to all my clothes.
“The older I get, the more I realise I don’t have time for basic.” R. Maksy 2021. I can’t decide if I need that as a cross stitch pattern or a tattoo, but damn if that didn’t resonate…
Also this was the kick up the backside I needed to do this myself as well, so I did a ‘clear-out-along’ with it. Thanks for sharing this!! Good luck with the move.
Tattoo in the style of cross stitch~ It would be very on brand
I know it doesn't help but....the green "Christmas use " skirt was so so nice 😂. I've been moving several times but I'm super trained in packing things so it has never been a problem. But the problem was leaving my rented apartments especially as one was my first "finally moving from parents house"one. I've moved alone two times ,and two times I've cried a river. Moving is always hard, in mind and body, but you're going towards a new starting point of your life. Changes are always precious.
This sent me on a delightful binge of watching Martin Freeman flipping the bird in peak Bilbo fashion. Thank you.
I like how on the third blazer, Rachel and I both went “Ehhhhhhh,” at the same time. It’s gotta go girl, we both know it. 😂
Me: "keep"
Rachel : "donate"
Me : "okay, then you gotta donate this too"
Rachel : "keep"

Your content is so wholesome and cozy and also highly recommended when I look up autumn vibes 🍁 this video inspired me to actually go through my laundry that’s been piled up all month
Girl...cry as much as you need too. Moving is ROUGH. It is really hard when you have been in a house for a while. I am not a cry-er but when we bought our house and moved this summer... waterfalls.
Not only does this get me hype for y'all's move but it also reminds me that I need to do a closet purge myself. ...Sugar sticks.
I’m moving also, and not looking forward to the purging stage! Good luck with the move. 😊
I recently moved. Yeah, the purge was awful.
I'm only 7 minutes in but is this just a video of you saying "keep" over and over again? Actually 100% relatable. Love it😂
My mom passed away a couple of years ago, but she and I loved watching Bernadette Banner and Cathy Hay. I have no doubt she would have loved your videos, as well as volunteer as tribute for the clothing donation. Thank you for bringing up happy memories. 💜 Also, you should do a subscriber spacial for your clothes donations. I would definitely pay for some of those skirts. (and I usually hate skirts)
I'm so sorry about your mom. Much love and light 😊, Cathy Hay and Bernadette are wonderful too aren't they?!
That pale green swooshie number with the ruffly top and no sleeves with your hair. Chef's kiss!
Watching this just reaffirmed, Rachel Maksy is my spirit animal. The struggles of “but what if…”
Your chaos makes me feel at home. Thank you ☺️ I hope your moving goes beautifully! I’m so happy for you 🥲 no more close neighbors will be lovely!
OBSESSED with the avocado cream gown at the end
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!👏🏻👍🏻💜
You should make a video using the pieces you want to assign to characters/creative pieces!
Also, best fashion show I've ever seen. Approving mom vibes 10/10.
Just moved last month and yeah…… i feel ya. Stay strong!!!!
You're an inspiration, I am stubbornly resolved to be excited for the time I get to have my own space and charge over my own life (even though I am terrified lol)
I can 100% relate to the weakness for swooshy skirts! It's one of the reasons I'm slowly transitioning my wardrobe to be more vintage inspired.
