Your new dresses are beautiful and I really admire the fact that you know exactly what you like. I am an avid reader as well and love that you include books in your videos. The garage looks great and just shows what can be done in a short amount of time if we just take the first step. Keep on inspiring us Hilary!!

Hi Hilary, i love your dress collection, I am a sucker for tiny floral print. I stopped buying polyester, I always feel warm and uncomfortable, if I see something I love and the label says polyester or a mix with polyester I put it right back on the rack… I love cotton, and linen especially for the warmer months.i just bought my slip on shoes on Amazon and received them two days ago, also a neutral and a black…😉

I also don't enjoy polyester. I've been struggling to find clothing that isn't polyester in my price range though.

@christined2495 4 ай бұрын

@@rosannasauereisen2827 I know it’s crazy everything in the stores is polyester, to be honest I find the nicest tops at thrift stores, all good name brands that are cotton, it makes such a difference But sometimes I go thrifting and walk out with nothing, and sometimes I find the best bargains….

I wanted to mention it since I know you like Sophie too. :)

I have tried to shop on thred up multiple times but I am always disappointed in their prices. Locally I can thrift quite a bit cheaper. But toddlers and babies make it harder to thrift right now so I decided it’s better to thrift for just a few dollars more than spend even more buying new. I did a few specific searches and found a few good deals on thred up! Thanks for the inspiration!

@OldWorldHome 4 ай бұрын

I relate 💯 to this! Yes the prices are often higher than a thrift store, but I can search specific terms, from a seemingly endless stock, from my home, have them delivered, and easily return what doesn’t work. I’m willing to pay a bit more for the convenience and selection! Hope yours work out!

Good morning! Happy Thursday! I wait for your vlogs honestly. Have missed a few either when I am sick or on breaks or sometimes life happens and I never get to you tube. Just want to say that after I am done watching your vlogs I feel energised and motivated either to clean or organize, I do read a lot so that's added bonus with book recs and then cooking of course! Love doing that so finding new recipes is added bonus. I do not eat meat but I can always replace it with veg components. Overall you are the best. Aah..forgot to mention the dresses...the ones you kept are what I would keep too, I also loved the orange one but wish the lining was cotton, I don't do polyester either. The problem with me I have dresses as old as 10 years that still fit me and look as new, I don't wear them as often and I don't want to donate them as yet but that doesn't stop me from buying more. I have never tried ThreadUp , maybe will look into it. About the books right now I am reading Angels on the clothesline, a memoir by Ani Tuzman..on the 3rd chapter but it's really good.I also have The Second Husband by Kate White which I plan to read once I am done with this one. Will try to get All the sinners bleed next, Thanks much

Our garage looks the same this time of year especially when three seasons of weather happen in the same week or even the same day. Book recommendation for you: The Rook by Daniel O’Malley, released in 2012. It’s a mystery set in England about an obscure and mostly unknown British government agency that protects the humans from non-humans. It’s not science fiction nor is it paranormal and it’s not scary. There is cursing but there is a lot of tongue in cheek humor. I’ve read it and listened to it several times. The author has written two other follow up type books which I don’t think are nearly as good.
