If you’re looking for an easy way to organize and store your wild rags, try a hanger organizer!
Not only is it convenient to hang in your closet, but it has individual slots that you can use for each of your wild rags.
Depending on the one you find, it may be single or double sided. Either way, you’ll have a nice, easy solution for your unruly wild rags that keeps everything organized (and doesn’t take up too much space in your closet).
Plus, the clear pockets let you see exactly what’s inside!
I think it’s safe to say I have an obsession with wild rags. My collection is 30+ strong (with a few more currently in the mail), and I try to incorporate them into most outfits. Especially in the winter!
Here are three ways that I style my wild rag:
Traditional style
Simple twist
Big ole’ bow

It’s been eight years since I won my last – and favorite – buckle.
2012 Western National Finals
I was showing Kahluas Fancy CD, “Baby”, at the Western National Finals in Reno, NV. I remember knowing my score in the first round, and being bumped out of the finals by the last horse. I had picked up our arena bag and was in the middle of unbooting at the stall when I heard over the loud speaker, “Holly Wilson, please report to the main arena.”
You’ve never seen a girl move so fast. We trotted back in and went straight to the announcer. And would you believe it – they had a score change after a review and we were in the finals. Woo-hoo!
After our second run, we ended up in seventh. Which to me, might as well have been the championship. This was our first show on a national level, and we showed up.
Tips for Trophy Buckle Cleaning
Since this buckle – including all the others – is so special to me, I like to keep it clean and shiny. Here are some brief tips:
Tools of the Trade
A dirty buckle
Jewelry cleaner for silver items (I like the Grandma’s Jewelry Cleaner)
Old toothbrush
How To
Spray the jewelry cleaner onto the buckle
Gently scrub in circular motions
Once you’ve sufficiently scrubbed, rinse with water
Pat dry
Ta-da!
Please remember that I’m not a professional, but I do clean a pretty nice buckle. If you have questions about caring for your buckles, you could always reach out to the buckle company who created it! Their name or logo is generally on the back.
