Rachel is the best - the best cheerleader, best cat lover, best advice giver on shoes one can walk miles in.

Beyond obsessed with Rachel and her answers. She is the kindest, most supportive soul on Substack. Loved seeing her here! X

Truly! We are lucky to have her in this community. I’m just sitting here in awe wondering how this superwoman has three jobs when she seems to be dedicated to making feel other people feel good full-time!

This interview was SO good! Like another commenter, I also loved buy answers, not questions. What a great piece of shopping advice. Rachel's style has definitely influenced me. I also live in a hot climate, though desert dry rather than Miami humid. It is hard to find fashion inspiration for hot weather dressing. I also have a large preloved Hermes Kelly that I wear to death and it gives me joy to look at it. (PSA - larger Hermes bags tend to fetch lower prices on the preloved market.)

Thank you Sharon!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the piece and got as much as I did out of Rachel’s wisdom! 🌹

AWW - MUTUAL! Darling friend!

"I believe in paying for how a piece advances your wardrobe and makes you feel." And also buy answers, not questions. As always, the best advice from Rachel, even if we don't agree about Tibi - but it certainly advances her wardrobe in ways it didn't mine! ❤️

These two nuggets there are EVERYTHING. It’s completely putting in question a lot of how I see value! Rachel *advances* my shopping decisions and my way of thinking about fashion hehe.

LOL! Louise, yes! And I am grateful for you.
