Joan Rivers: “Store accessories in a plastic bag with your outfit”

For someone who can be more bratty than at mouthy little kid, this tour of Joan Rivers’ secret closet by the women herself is fun, useful and endearing. Loving her mantra:

“It ain’t about price, it’s the look.”

 

During the tour she states:

Fashion should make you feel happy. We’re all our own Barbie doll. Anyone who takes fashion seriously is a fool,”

She explains. “What’s the worst that’s going to happen? You’re going to go out somewhere, and you’re going to put something on, and you’re going to look like an idiot. So what? You can take it off, and it doesn’t matter.”

 

And her expertise regarding all things plastic extends to her tips for storing accessories:

“When something works well with an outfit jewellery-wise, I store them in a plastic bag on the hanger of the outfit…then when I go to wear the outfit again I never think ‘what will look good with that?’.”

 

I’ll never look at a Zip Lock baggie while wrapping the kids lunches for school again without seeing Joan’s face. Mornings could just become much more interesting…

    What a great idea to put the accessories with the outfit.   It would only work if you had lots of accessories, I guess, and didn’t double up with every outfit.  I suppose you could take a pic and store that instead.

    I love your site and whilst I had my kids many years ago, I still consider myself a young and trendy Oma to my 3yr old and 11 month old grandchildren who I have 2-3 days a week.

    The pic is from my LA trip with my daughter last year, we had our hair done at DryBar to come home.

      Wow you’re gorgeous Poppy! Can’t believe you are an Oma – what an inspiration. 

      I think you are right about Joan’s tip – it’s fine if you’ve got loads of things, but your photo idea is a great one. Thanks for sharing. x

    Wow! She has so many accessories and sparkly clothes! I guess designing her own range she promotes it by wearing it all. I just love Joan. I am afraid that a lot of my accessories do double duty with lots of outfits, not to mention that many are gold, so could be an expensive option to bag up and leave with the outfit. I do often do this when travelling though! Plus I bag up the kids undies and socks and put them with their shirts and trousers, but all in huge big zip lock bags from a catering supplier- saves so much time and keeps everything organised in the suitcases- they don’t unravel all the ironed and folded shirts and trousers.

      Mummaducka, totally agree, can be hard for the rest of us (and I like sharing my accessories around too!) 
      LOVE that tip about packing the kids clothes together – brilliant! x A

    I just adore Joan!! Mr Sonic and I watch Fashion Police together and she never fails to crack the both of us up with her quick wit and sharp tongue. I love her fashion philosophy – fashion is supposed to be fun. Who cares if an outfit doesn’t work? Take it off and put something else on. LONG LIVE QUEEN JOAN!! xx

I'm also the mother of two little boys, who I credit for the motherhood induced fashion rut that I fell into sometime between the labour ward and now…

Here, we're sharing tips, ideas and inspiration to make it much, much easier to navigate motherhood in style.
