- Hello Darlings! In this weeks video I roast my younger self and her fashion sense haha! It was so cringe looking back on all my old outfits and I'm so glad my style has developed over the years (thank goodness!) Let me know in the comments if you went through a weird fashion stage too!
Thank you so much for watching!
Lots of love,

It’s funny how many vintage lovers come from that 2000s “emo” look. I’ve never seen someone come from a hippie look!
A lot of “alternative” people love vintage stuff
Yep! I was emo/scene and now I’m trying to commit to vintage style.
@@melissam597 me!!!
I went from hippie to vintage. As a teenager I was really into Woodstock music, 60s social activism and culture (minus the drugs haha). I was already interested in earlier decades as well but it didn't really occur to me that you could dress as if you jumped out of a Carry Grant movie. I think it also would have been too 'mature' of a look for me at the time. I did have a tiny heavy metal phase in-between. Then back to hippie. Now I am in my 30s and loving the 1930s-50s. The style is just the right amount of classy and playful, gives me confidence and it is just really fun! It's like age-appropriate dress-up haha
I came from the “hippie look” as well
I was born 1944 and I absolutely love seeing how you are recreating the 1950's Teens and Women in the '50's tinted their hair with powdered Henna, which came in a gelatin capsule. The routine was to dump the capsule contents in a container of water and pour it over one's hair after shampooing. Lemon squeezed into a final rinse also was used to combat the alkalinity of shampoos. Other things from the very late '40's - early '50's were CARE packages to Europe, Oreo margarine in a bag with a packet of yellow food dye (butter was still restricted for years after WWII ended). Families only had one car. We still grew veggies in aVictory Garden behind our house until early '50's. No air-conditioning so families sat outside - either on city stoops/stairs or country porches. Stayed outside as long as possible until the night temps dropped. Hand fans while sitting in church with windows open to the breeze. Spam and eggs. Stockings and garter belts - pantyhose was seen as extravagant when it first was introduced. My father bought the first TV in our neighborhood in order to watch Queen Elizabeth II Coronation! - and half our Bronx neighbors crowded into our Living Room. Children played outside unsupervised until streetlights came on. Children ate at meals and no snacking. Monday was wash day. Tuesday was ironing. Clothes were hung on the line to dry according to size and category (sheets, shirts, towels, and last - socks). neighbors judged each other according to their laundry. Our pantry was always full of preserved fruits and veggies until late 1950's. TV antennae's on the roof, that the poor men risked their lives adjusting .Windows were cleaned with Johnson and Johnson glass wax and old newspapers. All women knew how to sew. The first half of the '50's was quite different from the 2nd half of the decade.
Thank you so much for sharing all these memories 💕 My Dad was born in 1947. He passed away last July. I could sit forever and listen to him talk about how life was when he was growing up.
thank you for sharing , it's gold to like minded people to hear how it was , funny only hours ago i was cleaning the kitchen window with paper towel off of a roll and windex window cleaner and i was thinking how as a kid in the 60's we used a bit of methylated spirits and newspaper and i haven't even seen a newspaper for over ten years , on hot summer nights we didnt use the lights to try to keep the heat down i the house and just slept with a sheet and the small electric fan rotated back and fro until we'd fallen asleep and dad switched it off , a tv repair guy my dad knew loaned us a colour tv in the early 70's to watch the olympics and most of the neighbours came to our house to watch colour tv , it was new in ozzi then
@macpduff2119 I was born in 1945 and lived in Staten Island, NY. I remember a lot of this, but my mom never learned to sew! I was very particular in what I wore, even as a little girl. At 77, I still am! I think Sage (also my granddaughter's name) fits the vintage looks perfectly!! 💕
It's funny, my mom was born in 1950 and she does not like this aesthetic at all. I like to dress 40s and she says I look like her grandmother lol
As someone who is in the awkward in between phase, this gives me inspiration to commit to vintage. ☺️
Maybe you should hire me to hang around wherever you are😁 I'm still in the "bum" stage; tres chic😂 No one will notice anything awry with your hair or clothes!
@@gohawks3571 we'll be bums together 😆
@@brittanyw3057 😁😁😁
Can you not wear a mix of “normal” and vintage stuff though? That’s pretty much what I do, couldn’t commit to just 1 style I don’t think ☺️
Same here!
I know it’s natural enough to cringe, but I actually think seeing people’s baby stages of style is super adorable and endearing and you can see the gears turning in their head :)
I was always wondering if your style was always like that whole vintage aesthetic, but it's nice to see how people's style will change over the years, I love it.
I was laughing at the glitter bit!! I loved Gunne Sax and had several dresses in the late 70's and early 80's!!
Lmao. I worked for Jessica McClintock and sold so so many!!!!
@@cynthiadavis5227 back in the day, they had them at Anthony's in Lubbock, Texas. It was a clothing store that sold clothes for Men, women and children.
Gunne Sax! Oh man, I always thought they were gunnie sacks, like dresses that were made out of some kind of vintage bags or something😂 I had no idea it was the name of designer clothes... Showing my ignorance yet again...
Vintage fits you so much better. You smile a lot more wearing vintage. 💚💚
I think all of us dressing vintagey now went through a weird transitional stage where we didn't have/couldn't afford many actual vintage or retro pieces and didn't know how to do our hair or makeup XD
As someone who went through this, this is on point. I went from wanting to dress like a founding father(A.K.A. Hamilton) (so many cardigans) to wearing a mix of modern basic clothes and trying to get a somewhat 50s look. Then in most of college it was button ups and khaki pants. Last year I recently wore more skirts and now have a style of 1940s woman or 1910s man(shirt, suspenders, and khakis). This was when I really got the vintage style more refined. :)
I love the picture at 6:00 mark with the fur coat. I immediately thought of the actress Susan Dey who played on the Partrige Family TV show. Thank you for sharing your transition pictures.
I loved that picture too! Looked like a Vogue 60s shoot or something
Hi Sage, You are absolutely adorable in ANYTHING you wear. Girlfriend, You have so much class and style you could easily make Hefty Garbage Bags look so fashionable and trendy. Your beauty shines inside and out. 🌺
I know! She's so mean to her past for no reason, too.
You were 100% made for the style you have now !! I love it ❤
This was a very interesting video about your style evolution. In the 2010s, I was very interested in the 1920s styles. I had been watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries from ABC, and loved her hair, and clothes! I had my hair bobbed, and tried to dress in what I thought were 1920s style clothes. I bought a few cloche hats, and wore them almost everywhere! When Covid hit in 2020, I couldn't go to the hair dresser anymore, so it grew longer, and I tried some 1940s style updos, and wore a bandana on my head, like Rosie the Riveter! I started curling my hair, and arranging it in various styles. Now I just curl my fringe, and put the rest up into a pony tail. I wear jeans with the cuffs turned up, and a nice top. I suppose my current style is 50s casual. I don't have any vintage clothes, but use what I have. I haven't gone to a store for three years! The cost of living is way up because of Covid and the War in Ukraine, so we make do and mend! Mom says the way we live now reminds her of the dirty 30s when she was a child. There is gas rationing, now, and we don't do a lot of driving. Anyway, I feel as though we are all living in the 1940s during the war! ~Janet in Canada
I can honestly say I take so much more than style away from these videos - as someone who has had depression and found routine hard again after lockdown - the videos you do on lifestyle have really helped me to enjoy the simple things again such as finding time to set a nice table, try new recipes and take time to do make up - you’ve made such an positive impact! ❤️
Aw Em thank you so much for sharing that. I’m so glad to hear you have been enjoying the videos and taking time for yourself to enjoy the little things! Xx 💕
Your comment touched my heart. I have just found Sage's videos. They're so enjoyable, and I didn't know why until you put words to it. Thank you! It really is the simple things that engender peace and contentment.
@@AmericaCirclingTheDrain they are really lovely videos aren’t they I love watching and listening to them they are nice and calming somehow ❤️ take you back to the little things that matter xx
I'm much older than you and went through my serious vintage phase way back. Clothes were so available and so cheap! I only wish I had half of what I let go of. Not to mention beautiful hats and amazing costume jewelry. You've helped me remember something that brought me a lot of joy. Thank you! P.S., I agree with other's comments, often you're a bit too self-deprecating. Give yourself more grace. You're bringing a lot of joy to folks, including me.
As the Virginia Slims people used to say, "You've come a long way, baby!"
Omg yes! I remember those commercials! 😂😂
You look like a super model in the picture with the fur coat!
I too wish I was Shirley Temple. I’m 17, and currently dress (almost) full time vintage, so I really enjoy this video. It gives me hope that someday I’ll be as good at vintage hair as you are 😂
Do you see yourself wearing vintage for the rest of your life now, or do you ever think that there will come a day when you want to go back to the modern day styles? I think it's adorable by the way, I was just wondering because you seem to be a very curious and explorative person when it comes to different styles.
I'm a bit late, but I used to dress (and still do at times) more hippie-ish and now I'm moving to a more 50s style. So it's cool to see another vintage dresser like me! :)
I love vintage because I grew up listening to old radio programs, watching old television shows, and getting into old jazz, big band, and crooner music. However, I dressed hippie in high school, and then halfway through I became goth (everything dark and spooky). While I love vintage and sometimes wish I had made that plunge, I ended up decorating my house vintage, but remaining goth. I like your channel because you don't just dress vintage, you also do a lot of research into past decades, as I have done and still like to do. Thank you for showing your style evolution. I can't wait for the next video.
I think you looked adorable no matter what you wore. You’re just beautiful and built so lovely. You pull all the styles off. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VINTAGE STYLE!!!
I wish there were some days where the whole world could dress up and live like this. It’s beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
I’ve always loved wearing swing dresses and petticoats. My mother and grandmother always dressed so beautifully and I’m just following in their footsteps. My husband loves me dressing vintage and I adore wearing it ❤️👗👠
Girl! You're simply adorable, even in your "cringy" stage! I recently found you and have just been binging! Love your videos, they're such a relaxing treat 😌 💕
Btw...I'm 37 and I have ZERO style lol! I just wear anything (mostly leggings and sweaters) 😂
I'm almost 55 years old and would say my style is frumpy, old grandma 👵 so I really enjoy watching your videos. You have such a cute style and way about you!
aw, this is such a sweet comment. it made me smile
I’m laughing at your commentary. I dress vintage (recreation) a couple times a week. My biggest struggle wanting to exercise in public the morning but not being able to go because I’ve got a wet set!!!! 😫 Everything literally revolves around my hair.
😂😂😂
What's a wet set?
@@martinemikita9281 Hair is up in curls and damp, waiting on it to dry.
I wouldn’t look back with all the knowledge you have now, I’d look back at all the fun you had and how much joy each phase brought you…each step was a transition into where you are know. Be kind to yourself.❤️
Ahhh this is on my list of to-dos as well, it's been eleven years since I first started my blog waaay back when and it'd be so fun to look through. Also I didn't care about fashion till I was about 20, can relate so much. I can't stop giggling at the socks and sandals combo.
Your hair looks glorious in this video!
Heheheh so much fun looking back! Yes, I can’t wait to see one from you! Thanks so much Kristina 😊💕
You look as lovely now as you did then...like most of us we grow a bit wiser....on fashion & food. Take care & hugs.....from PA in USA
I’m so glad I ran into your channel! I also used to dress like a hippie then I transitioned into vintage and I get so many compliments. When I dress down people don’t even recognize me lol.
This is the video I needed. Thank you Sage! It made my day better knowing that somebody I look up to went through the awkward style transition that I am currently going through. Please never stop posting videos!
Awww it makes me so sad to see you looking back at your past self with so much unhappiness. You might not have been as put together as you are now but you were still beautiful. Absolutely not a drowned rat. So happy you found the fashion that makes you feel good about yourself, as well as looks awesome!!! All the best!
I love wearing vintage! I'm more of a 1965-1975 era dresser, so I really loved your peasant blouse! 🤣
Sage: I look silly in these photos.
Also Sage: Very beautiful in every photo.
I guess we are all our own biggest critic, which I understand.
Always adorable but you’re especially aesthetically delightful now. As in all things, finding yourself as you progress is the sign of a life well lived.
You looks so cute in all the pictures! The one at 5:45 could be from a magazine. So chic!
Great video, your beautiful in every picture. I think the accessories are a huge part of completing the vintage look. My grandma had a huge jewelry box full of "costume" jewelry. I think it would be interesting to see a video about how to accessorize a vintage look. Shoes, belts, scarves, jewelry, hair combs etc by the decades! Lol. I just realized how much work that would be. Maybe a series?
What a great idea!
So Nice to see how you got into the fifties style step by step! 😊❤ I am 53 years old now in 2023 and I was always fond of different clothing and colours since I was a teenager in the eighties. I love sweet flowerdresses, lace and this spring I finally bought my first swing dresses in a vintage shop with new items and accesoiries and I love them; where them every day! 🌹💋🎀 💅🏻I already bought a dress for autumn with longer sleeves and thinking about a petticoat! I really like your vintage home video’s! 😃👍🏻
i am in the beginning stages of dressing vintage! i love finding vintage pieces and styling them to my liking. This video inspired me to not give up on my style because at the moment my style is quite messy looking since I am just starting! thank you for this video xx
Style evolutions are so fun! Most people really are constantly changing!
Hi, I'm so glad I found your channel. You are wonderful.
Many greetings from warm and sunny Germany.☀️
What a wholesome leap into beauty! Gosh, I wish I knew what Aussie phrase might be right, but from a USA vantage point, you certainly have us beaten for your embrace of something wonderful. I think you have really done a great job with your style, and chosing your own direction. That's confidence, and it has served you well! And I love your greeting - "hello darlings!' - so sweet.
I just discovered your channel a few days ago. You are adorable! Like a time traveler. Thanks for sharing your incredible style with this subscriber.
I love this!!! I myself am a fan of vintage fashion, but my best friend loves hippie and 80’s fashion. I love your channel! You make the best videos!!! ❤️
I love your style before and now. I have a variety of styles. I also love vintage
The period closed just suits you perfect I know some of us should have been born in a different time
I love your hair when it's brown and curly, you look adorable.
You’re so pretty! I’ve had a similar transition. I have dressed more hippy ish for years and now this past year I really like dresses that look vintage and want to start making my own.
A woman this beautiful could not possibly looks weird in any style what so ever. Very cute in all her styles!
I'm currently trying to revamp my wardrobe from slobby tees, leggings, and zero style to that of a more 60s "peacock revolution" look and it's proving to be very fun but difficult!! It's really nice to see someone's style evolution to see where you've come from and remind myself it won't happen over night, and yeah I'll probably look back and cringe a little BUT I think what's important is that we've embraced ourselves and stepped out!!
Love seeing the change over time. Im old (57) now. I just wear what's comfortable. I love the vintage look. Finding the clothes and shoes seems to be the hardest part. Thanks for sharing!
You look amazing, even growing up! My style these days is like, does it fit, is it comfortable, is it pretty... In that order (I'm 61) I love the clothes from Cracker Barrel lol lots of lace, color, comfort, and it makes me look good so there ya go lol
The clothes from cracker barrel 😍😍😍😍
Cracker Barrel sells clothes??
@@dianaking1106 yes. I work in the gift shop and they have Beautiful clothes!
I binge watch your videos when I get depressed cuz you always make me smile. This is the best uplifting video! Funny that I feel like I can relate to your fashion fumbles! 🇺🇸🌻💜
I dress a blend of true vintage, modern vintage and tomboy. Currently just working on the homestead, so I don’t really want to destroy good clothing farming and working on the vehicles so old T-shirt’s and board shorts are most commonly worn this time of year. When I do have the chances to go out, I like to dress up. I’m intimidated by doing hair and make up as I never really learned how to from someone and YT (and your tutorials) have been a great help!
The twilight phase !! Same here 😂😂 always had to put on some glitter 😂 so embarrassing now…but hey I am not alone here 😅
The picture with the $10 thrift coat you look like Victoria Beckham. Just found your Channel so I am going back through your videos. I am a 61 year old grandmother of 10 from the United States and I adore you and your channel ❤❤. I have never had the body shape to pull of the vintage look but my now 95 year old mother has wonderful pictures of her and my father during the late 40s ( they married in 1948) and 1950s and they both dressed so stylishly - even going to the local park on a Saturday afternoon they were dressed up. After me and my sister came along (1959 and 1961) I never saw my father in a suit ( he was a plumber by trade) so it seems parenthood just made them fall apart fashion wise lol. We use to have some local thrift stores nearby and when I went inside it was like going to my grandparents house. I wish I lived close to you because my mom is now in memory care, she has Alzheimer's, and we sold our childhood home. I kept some of the furniture she and my dad bought when they got married - really nice but now need some work, solid mahogany furniture. I have been paying for a storage unit to keep them in for several years now hoping I would find a way to use them but I haven't and I actually need to downsize what I do have. No one where I live is into vintage sadly, they take the older pieces and modernize them with chalk paint 😱 and I couldn't bear to see that done with my parents furniture. Sorry this is so long, now back to watching you videos!
I love your original hair color! The 50's hairstyles is what I love the most!! They are so beautiful and timeless!
This makes me real nervous for looking back at pictures of the vintage clothes I love so much now in the future. If that makes sense😂
You were very brave to share those photos with us, Sage. They’re not as bad as you think. We all went through questionable fashions as teenagers before we find what works for us. I was a teenager in the 1960s; you should see some of the outfits I wore!! You definitely hit your stride. I enjoy your videos very much.
That post twilight phase pause lmaooo. Do a lot of us relate sadly I have photos
It was neat to see how your style evolved. I love flare jeans and wide legs pants still. But I’ve always loved the vintage style, don’t think I would commit to it. IT was a time when people cared how they looked and took time to look good and not like they just fell out of bed.
This channel makes me happy! Thank you for always brightening my day ♥️
So fun. I am thinking of going vintage! I definitely have my workout clothes as my everyday clothes, then some pretty dresses that don't embody one type of style. I would love to do a 40's early 50's look, for when I go out anywhere. I'm starting to learn to sew, and hope to sell this style of clothing one day! You are so cute and funny and NOT boring! We all love you, have fun!
i'm late to the party but i find this so inspiring in a way, i'm coming out of my hippy fashion sense (still have the mindset, i always will) and am leaning more toward the 50s style, it's awesome to see that this happened to someone else lol !!!
I’ve been thinking about going vintage for a while now. Watching your videos and reading up on different 1950s 40s and 30s styles is helping me make my decision to convert to a vintage lifestyle.
I think vintage 1940's, 1950's style definitely suits you. That clothing style flatters your figure. I laughed at the outtakes- thank you for leaving them in. Your channel is the best escape! Thank you.
That is quite a transformation! The vintage style suits you so perfectly. You look younger and sparkling! And I love Shirley's 1940s style too! I've been wearing vintage for about 12 years now and she's definitely one of my style icons! I actually have a couple of her dresses!
Thank you very much for your story, you made it very clear, visual and fun. 😂 you are a very inspiring person and your videos motivate me to come up with something new in my vintage routine, thank you so much Sage. 😊 I wish you strength and patience in your studies and inspiration in your work. ❤
Gypsy or peasant tops will never go out of fashion. They've been popping in and out for decades now. They're officially a classic piece to have in your wardrobe. Same goes for fur 😉... If you find vintage furs, hold on to them! They are a fashion relic, but always look and feel luxurious. Throwing out furs that already exist is a huge waste and doesn't fix the past. We should cherish them and the life that was sacrificed.
Hi Sage, as always you always look beautiful and always with a smiling face. Thank you for sharing ❤️💕
You are Now Queen of the 50s Lovely. God Bless keep up the good work.
Really enjoyed this, it’s so fun looking back! I’m trying to dress more vintage now and it’s good to know that it takes time to get there ❤️
You totally rock the vintage look! Like really well,I think certain styles fit different people, my style is bohemian hippie,and I wouldn't have it any other way. Although you inspire me to try somthing different, hairstyles and all,maybe one day I will try to convert to vintage style....in the future.either way always enjoy your videos, and you always look so glamorous 💄👠👜💃👄💖
I truly adore you, and am so happy I found your channel. My 2 year old granddaughter likes you too. You look lovely in your vintage clothes. Keep it up!! God bless.
Aw man, this is inspiring! I don’t know exactly what style I wanna go for still, but it just makes me wanna put more thought into what I wear. And why commit to one style? Why not alllll the styles!
Oh I'm so glad I could inspire you! Yes exactly, you don't have to choose one era, you can wear all the styles that's so much fun! 😊💕
The first picture looks so care free and something that people wore on the beach in California in the70's and 80's where I grew up in Newport Beach
I had a Gunne Sax dress too and i loved it!
It's funny as we look back at photos and think, what the heck was i wearing-lol!
Your content is so good. You can start your own vintage clothing inspired brand. Those eras had so much good in them in every way.
We're so hard on ourselves! I think you had a lovely trajectory to where you are now!
Sage you look so lovely! Hope you're well!
As someone who is 5ft and had both long and short hair, I totally agree with you that shorter hair is more flattering!!!
I love it, how you were talking about the twilight stage😂 I remember that stage.
This is so sweet and inspiring! It's such a great video and message, no matter what era or style someone is gravitating towards - to take it slowly, add pieces as you find them, lean into what you love and what suits you most, and then let go of what no longer suits you as your style emerges. I love this!
In the Brighton picture the cut of the jeans looks just like mom's jeans in the late 1950's. Very cool. She had regular jeans like these, and for winter she had some that were lined with plaid flannel. You look adorable!
You looked gorgeous when you had the pale blue dress with the curls at the front.. it reminds me of allie in the notebook the hairstyle you had 😍
This was so interesting! Fun topic!
Also, you're getting sooo close to 100K subscribers.. ahhhh, so excited for you!!🙂💕
Oh God yes the shoe thing, it's so hard to find vintage shoes! Could you please make a video on vintage shoes?
This was so fun!!! I wore a Gunne Sax gown to a formal dance at my high school. They were all the rage in the late 70s.
Sage you are stunning, and always have been. Love the photos! 😁
I think we all went through the awkward phase, trying to figure out where we fit in vintage style. You look amazing!
I used to rock the hail outta Gunne Sax dresses. Very cool video 💚.. I saw that Voyager Book 📕!! My favorite Ever !!
I actually LOVE that white off the shoulder top and think you should have kept it... It's a very vintage-looking piece.
I love your videos. Vintage life and dresses were so beautiful, dainty, modest , feminine and you look fabulous in them. Keep posting them.
18:30 is EXACTLY the vintage style I love and I didn’t realize until you demonstrated this journey! 😮🤩 your current style is such an accurate reflection of your personality, you truly shine through! Although I think you are darling in whatever you wear! Thank you for sharing these photos. I enjoyed it so very much.
Ps. I am a hippie girl too 😂😬😂
Cute! We all go through style evolutions, esp. when you are low on funds. I remember buying crap from Target not cuz it was stylish but because it was cheap. I also went to college in the 90s so there was no ETSY then. Ugh! Terrible.
Currently I am looking into vintage. I'm changing a little at a time. I feel better about myself 😎❤
You look positivity radiant. pretty and happy with your newer look / outlook on style, etc .
I saw savers in one of your pics, i used to love shopping at savers with my sister, mom, and grandmother!
I've been trying to turn my wardrobe vintage...ish 🤭. Lacking funds here. I want petticoat and circle skirts, shoes, and a few house dresses (button down or wrap)
Otherwise, I style my pencil skirts and sweater blouses in a vintage way. Seam stockings and hair combs help to make it look more credible (badly need a haircut now that the hairdresser is reopened, my hair is mid back length 😳)
Be kind to yourself. ♥️ Whether that’s your past self, current or thinking of yourself in the future, be super, super kind. Nothing wrong with the clothing in any of these periods. Many of us don’t realize it & many just think it’s ridiculous to understand that, a negative thought, speech or action against one’s self or others deeply impacts human psyche. You carry this with you, it compounds, it shapes ideas, beliefs & dictates, the more you “negative”, how one feels about themselves, how well they’ll truly care for themselves & the ways they feel & care for others; often times putting other ppl well before themselves. It really does make all the difference to speak about yourself as you would anyone else you want to see having a positive opinion & outlook on themselves. Far more than we’re taught, for sure. -Sage was beautiful in every single picture & she continues to be.
