A vintage dressing story of my own; a art teacher said I looked like I should be in a painting.

So my two styles are: for Spring and Summer it's more cottagecore and more summery colors, like a Picknick in a flower field in France and for Autumn and Winter it's dark academia and Goblincore and more forest and earthy colors. Both with a vintage twist, of course.

When I started dressing more vintage, I was so nervous and just decided to do it. The 1st interaction was a complement and that was it. Sometimes I worry that I am too dressed up. But I always end up with nothing to worry about. I do get concerned that people may think I appear elitist, but hopefully not

I really love 1930s-40s inspired styles and sort of modern versions of Edwardian style. I'm very early in the journey and just starting to look for items, so right now I basically just have a few fun skirts with modern tops. Will definitely be trying the twist and push situation, maybe it'll make it look more vintagey 😁

I've had some strange comments in the past, but most of the time it's in admiration. 'History bounding' before it was called such! Your tips are common sense and lovely. If people watch 'All Creatures Great and Small', the authentic clothing there (right down to the 'wrapper' worn over clothing for housework) show us that vintage dressing - wartime or otherwise - was not always glamourous. Many days it was just the wool skirt, shirt, and hand knit sweater that you'd worn a hundred times. Your recommendation to get a few separates is spot on, because that's literally what the average girl had, with only a few special things here and there. Blessings, and thank you for this timeless and useful content! It's not out of date now, and I doubt if it ever will be. :D

Me when you showed your blue statement dress "😯😯😯 aaaah I LOVE IIIITT" 😂 so gorgeous.

These are amazing tips! Especially the hair- twist and push is my go-to with a low pony and a ribbon! I call it my “Belle pony” 😆

I bought a beautiful handmade skirt this year. It's beautiful brown colour and so flowy😍 (is that even a word? 😂)
I try to avoid fast fashion when looking for 'vintage-inspired' stuff and it makes me feel like my clothes are more one of a kind ☺️

I like to call my style vintage grandma/ storybook librarian. right now im obsessed with drapping offbeat cardigans over my shoulders like a cape as well as wearing cat eye glasses and saddle shoes as well as pearls.

Love the twist and push! And how you’ve always worn exactly what you wanted! ♥️♥️♥️

Personally i am the most into mid to late 1930s western European fashion (mostly casual or sporty menswear rather than formal) but I did not find the courage to wear it out to public yet as whenever i put it on I face harsh comments from my family, therefore i just take it off. But talking about that, i have just ordered two SJC shirts today that should be a lovely addition to my wardrobe :) Also, a great video for all of the begginers out there, keep it up, love your content!

Also wanted to say that I love all eras of vintage fashions but for Textile Art/Prints my favorites are the 20s (Art Deco) and the 60s (just fun, fun, fun)🤗

New watcher and im getting back into vintage fashion after a while away thanks to some weight gain and other factors. I cant say what my favorite current piece is, but my favorite piece used to be a 1970s side button closure skirt from my Oma that was perfect really for any era as it kind of danced the line between a line and pencil skirt with two simple darts. U prefer clothes in the style of late 1950s and early 1960s where some more streamlined styles were coming into popularity but a fuller skirt would not be unusual either.

I adore call the midwife although recent seasons are certainly crawling out of my favorite fashion era, but I love it regardless. The new season dropped on Netflix recently and I've just not had the time to watch it yet!

Hi! Lots of good tips here. I love that you love vintage fashions.🥰 Next time you are in town, we can go to Western Costume in Hollywood.👍 It has tons and tons of the stuff and you can find some real treasures there!💕

Awesome video! My main way to find inspiration is to use Pinterest. I have hundreds of pins of stuff that I like, as well as my "fashion icons" (loved yours haha, mine are Jyn Erso from Rogue One meets Floor Jansen from Nightwish, with some vintage styles thrown in the mix - yes it's weird lol). It's pretty depressing though to think about outfits when you work from home. I have invested in tops mostly since that's all you see on Zoom calls!

Upvote not just for great advice but for adorable tuxie cat!

[StephanieCanada]

You gave away my secret with the Twist and Push!! But no, it is seriously the easiest.

[Kazberhaf]

Lovely video as usual, and I particularly enjoyed the part when your cat started stringing the bow 🤣
