I miss my closet 😫 Sometimes I feel like I don’t know her anymore. I work from home so I haven’t worn about 90% of my closet since March. I’ve been trying to snap out of the funk and get reacquainted with my closet. It’s not always perfect, but here’s how I’m falling back in love with my closet:

OPEN IT! I mean really get in there. I pulled out pieces I used to wear every day and haven’t even looked at in FIVE months.

Try things on. Even if I don’t wear them out in public or around the house I’ve been trying on certain things just to remember how much I loved them!

Dress casual at least 2 days per week. I’m really not going anywhere other than thrifting and errands so instead of wearing yoga pants to these places I’ve been trying to get “real” dressed (jeans, maxi dresses, jumpsuits, etc).

Get fancy one day a week. I put something super fun and fancy on like this dress one day a week. I don’t leave the house in this but it’s fun to play a little dress up with things you love. (Although it would be fun to see the reaction on people’s faces at the grocery store in this 80s number)

Join closet challenges online. Early in the pandemic I joined a couple of fun rainbow closet challenges and I continue to do the #12Monthsofthrifting challenge. Gives you something to look forward to.

If you’re working from home, tell me how you’ve fallen back in love with your closet.

I love using vintage hangers for “on the fly”

I love using vintage hangers for “on the fly” decorating. I wanted to spice up this workspace but didn’t feel like spending money on new wall art so I found a few things around the house to hang and 10 minutes later I was done 👏🏽 #mythriftedhome

Anyone else only do their nails while you check emails? It’s my Monday morning ritual as I get caught up for the week 🤣

This has been a hot topic lately so I’m repostin

This has been a hot topic lately so I’m reposting this from our @rethriftrodeucepodcast page so you can bookmark it here too:
➿
Shoes
Wipe the inside and outside with Clorox / Lysol wipes. For suede and leather, use a special shoe cleaner. Spray the inside with Lysol. Use Goo Gone to wipe the soles to get price tags and gunk off. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to remove marks on leather shoes including the pricing on the sole
➿
Furniture
For soft furniture use a cleaner from a local furniture store or make a homemade concoction of vinegar, soap, and warm water. Put it in a spray bottle and scrub. Use the suction hose on a wet/dry vacuum to suck the water up. The most effective way is to rent a steamer form a local hardware store and steam your couch.
➿
Plastic Toys
Use acetone or alcohol to get the marker price tag off plastic toys. Spray with a baby-safe disinfecting spray. If the toy fits and it’s safe, wash it in the dishwasher.
➿
Clothing
Wash according to care label. If possible, use hot water whenever you can. You could also add vinegar to the last rinse cycle to get any “thrift store smells” out. I also like the dryer trick with a dryer sheet to make vintage stuff smell better. Use laundry sacks for delicate items and dry clean when needed. Hand wash with hot soapy water for items that can’t be washed in a washing machine. Use Tide spot cleaner for quick spot cleaning.
➿
Books
Wipe the exterior or pages with Clorox wipes.
➿
Stuffed Animals
Thrift stores sterilize items with the same chemical that exterminators use. However, I still avoid purchasing stuffed animals that I can’t clean in a washer. For other stuffed animals, place the stuffed animal in a laundry sack and wash and dry on regular cycle.
➿
Costume Jewelry
Use a jewelry cleaner (they are inexpensive at drugstores) and use rubbing alcohol to disinfect earrings.
➿
Dishware
Run through the dishwasher if possible. If not, wash in hot water. If the marker / price tag doesn’t come off in the wash use a Clorox wipe to rub it off.
➿
Housewares
Wipe items like frames or games with disinfecting wipes. Throw items like vases in the dishwasher or hand wash if possible!
