My aunt calls it a brooch too so I can blame it on her :3 Recently stumbled across your channel - love your videos! Living vicariously through your channel 'cause my country is really hot - isn't exactly practical to wear vintage all the time x'D
I own approximately no vintage clothes and have never been interested in the style but the jokes and fluid editing in this video have me completely glued to it
The Pinup Companion I thought hardly anyone else did this as well as me, I'm so glad to know that someone as fashionable as you does it as well (my "fashion sense" is very messy and makes me look like a stereotypical grandma)
I do it too! Also with these long-cut shirts and 60's-like tunics which everybody was digging a few years ago. Mostly cause the thrift stores are full of them now, when shorter tops are back and fashionable again. So when I love the pattern, the sleeves, the collar - I just take it and wear it. Or I resew them, if I'm not too lazy for that (and believe me, 9 for 10 times I am :'D).
I feel lied to but also thoroughly impressed at how well you can disguise a dress as a shirt! Have you ever thought about doing a video on dressing vintage for different body types/sizes/shapes??
I highly recommend the Japanese clothing shop Axes Femme for vintage style pieces (especially if you're into a girly look) a huge portion of my wardrobe is from them! Very cute when mixed with vintage pieces.
Absolutetly! You have to keep in mind though that those items are made to fit asian women, so they are probably super short on most western people (just fyi if anyone wants to buy from that brand).
I'm not particularly tall, but I am fairly curvy and I can always find a few things that fit me. They certainly don't fit me like they'd fit a Japanese woman but they work.
thats a good idea if you're built like a japanese woman. i love love love a lot of the items i've found on japanese clothing stores, but the biggest size is about 3 sizes too small for me- and im not even that big, just a little curvy-chubby.
I started out on your hip dip video and almost burst into tears because hip dips are something I hate about my body - and now I may or may not be inspired to try out vintage
Dresses these days don't have any shape, just big rectangles sewed on each other (most of the time with a belt). Modern fashion is so lazy! Oh and if you have any hips or booty these type of dresses don't fit!
I feel this comment so much. With bigger hips, I feel like everything I get that looks good (as far as shape/flare) has a stiffer fabric, so it holds its own better, or it's a LOT of fabric that's been gathered or pleated. OTL Both of which make things warmer to wear, and our summers here are NOT friendly with that.
There's two vintage shops very near to each other in my city. One sells dresses for 18 euro (I recently got one from the 60s in mint condition!), The other sells dresses for 50±. Sometimes I wonder if it's greed or quality.
Faking vintage look is my favorite game! 😁 I am a french vintage girl and it's quite difficult to find vintage pieces in flea market or on web but thanks your vidéo I have more than one trick up my sleeve :)
Even If I do not wear "Vintage" (I am more into old goth) It would be awesome if more people would wear classic stuff instead of the modern, boring fashion with no shape. It suits you so well! And btw you are hilarious! Smiled and laughed alot during the video, your dog is awesome :D
Please please please a tutorial on how you made the 'play suit'!!! I'm an avid thrifter and I love repurposing things I find with a great pattern but doesn't fit, or is just unflattering! Please! Thank you so much! Love your whole channel and your personality! You are like a living vintage doll❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Ah, I loved the *"Freak out!"* scenes, especially the first one! 😂😆 I laughed my butt off!!! God I love your videos, they are so funny and with such a wonderful and relaxing mood. I'm very much into vintage and I've learnt a lot from you but I also really watch it for the lighthearted moments. :)
I actually bought that target blue wash off the shoulder frilly lace detailed very unshapely dress on a whim to cut it and turn it into an off the shoulder top because I loved the lace detail yet hated the cut. I didn't think about turning it into a vintage 50s style outfit, I love it 😍 I may have to change my mind before chopping it up immediately
I love how your dog photo bombs you quite often!!! LOL So cute! And I love your house & the way it's decorated! Did you do it? Thanks for such a fun video. :))
I never realized how badly I want to wear off the shoulder tops/dresses until now. If only my boobs didn't weight like, 100 pounds each, I could actually wear strapless bras! Haha
I'm very late, but a well-fitted corset is your best friend - naturally strapless and supports the weight of the bust so much better than modern bras! They can be difficult to hide under tight modern clothes, but wearing an extra camisole over it and/or wearing either more tailored and very loose tops can work.
The first outfit was definitely my favourite: the sleeves are adorable! I'm always a bit worried with stores like shein and romwe about the quality but you definitely scored on the blue dress and checkered skirt.
Oh I totally am the same way, the mass-produced, cheaper websites always make me weary but these were actually really good quality. And it's cool, at least with SheIn, each item usually has photos and reviews from people and they're pretty honest about if it feels cheaply made or not
Very very helpful,cute, funny, surprising and your little wolf is so incredibly cute!!! Your outfits are always pretty and famine and I love your channel! 😃
I literally do these things all the time! They help so much especially when you don't have to many items wearing a dress ash a shirt gives so many more options!
Is there a certain age to start styling vintage? Because I’m 11 and I love the look of vintage styles. And just to say I like the vintage ‘trousers’ more than skirts!🤷♀️🤗
Ha. I just asked the opposite - I'm a few decades older than Rachel and I'm like when does it start to just make you look old? Older? Just weird old? Does it?
@@notyourmomuberdriver3076 Im 46 and it's a really thin line between looking like an frumpy old lady or a hot mama. 🙈 It seems to be a lot easier if you are young.
Just shop at a thrift shop, dear! So many older people give away their clothing to these places so you can get more vintage looking clothing for less! :) I got nice cardigans and sweaters there and I have seen more older lady style skirts there as well.
True. What I do is just frantically looking for modern pieces (that are not 50 euros each), like puffed-shouldered blouses and dresses, knee-length skirts and oxfords, as I would define my everyday style as "late-30's-early-40's", adding accessories that belonged to my grandmother, like pearls and clip-on earrings. The rest is just the makeup, and my victory rolls always in place :9
Kelsey Vandercoy I don't usually have a problem with them being lumpy, as long as the dress is flat underneath and isn't bunched up. Sometimes it takes some adjusting by pulling at the bottom 😊
It's such a simple 'hack' but it changes the entire look. I love it. I'm going to try this for sure. It's also cheaper than buying multiple dresses. You can mix and match multiple tops with skirts.You only need 1 skirt really, if your budget it tight.. 2 or 3 tops and voila, you have '3 dresses'
I haven't worn skirts in forever (never liked them) and the ones I wore were always long skirts. Now you've inspired me to wear full skirts. Circle skirts. Whatever they're called. Love your videos!!
YES!! i'm a huge advocate for "faking" a look. As long as the aesthetics remain who cares that it's not true vintage! It makes the style really accessible for many who want to try dressing in this style. Anyway actual ladies in the past were told to make do and mend, so that's what we'll do too.
How does your husband feel about all the vintage-ness? I want to start dressing and living more of a vintage lifestyle but my boyfriend I think is not too keen about it.
My boyfriend has seen me go through all different stages of clothing styles and since I've started vintage, he adores it but he still likes when I dress modern too. I feel if you confident in how you feel, he will be happy for you.
Audrey Rosella If he is a good one he won't mind What does he have to be keen about any way, it's not like he is going to wear your style? -And if he has control issues, you might want to reconsider the bf, not just the style
I love the vintage style but does it even work when you’re plus sized? Most of the people I see pulling it off are all much smaller than I am and I don’t know if I should even bother looking into it...
So this has given me the confidence to try Shein. I’d seen a lot of ads on Facebook for it, but wasn’t sure if it was one of those scam companies. But after this video and the very nice pieces you got sent, I had a look at other reviews, and it seems they’re legit! Which is awesome, because they have a TON of vintage inspired pieces on their site. Just so much vintage inspired! Also, they go up to a pretty large size, which is fantastic. I’ve had to be very disappointed when following other people’s recommendations for clothing, only to find that the only thing they’d sell that would fit is is maybe a brooch. And like, one of the reasons I got into dressing vintage to begin with is how flattering it is on a fuller figure. So it’s always nice to find companies that actually sell my size.
kiki monsteur avez-vous compris ce qu'elle fait? si non, je peux aider. je peux traduire la liste des "hacks". je sais que ce commentaire est vieux, mais si vous voulez toujours savoir. aussi- désolée pour mon français, ce n'est pas ma langue maternelle, mais je l'apprends et je veux l'essayer! haha
Omg the second look gives me all reasons to keep living!! especially with the sleeves down.. I have been enlightened. I love your channel (newbie here)
I don't have any actual vintage clothes (I'm extra curvy sized so practically impossible to find) so I add vintage or vintage inspired accessories to classic clothes. Adding a little sweater with a broach and a hair flower definitely gives a vintage vibe. And can't forget the red lips!
Im 13 and I absolutely love the vintage style! However I'm not sure whether im too young for the style and if it might look different or strange on me. Its also really hard to find any sort of vintage clothing where i live. Do you think I should have a go at the style or should I wait a little longer?
Aww I think you should do whatever makes you happy! It might feel strange at first but pretty soon it'll become your kinda-trademark! You could always stick to the more casual vintage style too, with just simple blouses and skirts! And then work your way to the more "eccentric" dresses and looks once you're comfortable enough! ❤️
Julia Capone I have a couple, one I got from eBay, the other from an antique store! Just make sure to get a comfortable one cuz there's nothing worse than an itchy tulle one 😂😂
Julia Capone I think mine just might be polyester! I would avoid crinoline or tulle (at least personally) because those can be kinda uncomfortable. I like my petticoat to feel like a soft blanket or pillow 😂❤️
I was not only in stitches 😂😂😂 yet again, but have taken away a wealth of brilliant ideas for vintage hacks! 👌 Big love to you & the fur baby, Frodo the Great! .....Mwah.😙xxx
Girl you got my wheels turning and I'm so ready to start changing up my wardrobe! Your very beautiful and yes honey red is your color in my opinion, it's beautiful on you but I get not wanting to stand out but wanting to look fierce! Can't wait to see what else you bring to your channel!!
Actually I think it's a very good idea to encourage people to buy second hand pieces of clothe on etsy or thrift shops because the brands you show here produce their clothe in horrible human and environnemental conditions so in my opinion that's a pity you promote them in this video :/
True, and for the most part I thrift and buy vintage whenever I buy clothes. But for some people it's hard for them to afford vintage or don't have access to good thrifting opportunities, so I wanted to show it's not necessary to have the look of vintage. The ethical side does suck, but for some it's their only viable option for clothing.
It’s hard if you are a little larger as it is hard to find vintage clothes that fit you. Or even able to find a place locally that has vintage clothes. My thrift store vintage is the 1990s.
Love the way you put the pieces together to look more vintage. I love going to second hand shops and I’m starting to revamp my wardrobe. You have given me some great ideas so thank you 👍💕
I like taking a regular button-up cardigan, buttoning it and wearing it as a form fitted sweater (with a circle skirt of course). Not sure if that's an authentic vintage type of look, but it sure gives off that vibe
Fabulous ideas, thank you! Great idea about using dresses as tops! Why have I not thought of that one?! :) Some of the better things I learned in my long lost youth was to knit and sew, but even if you don't really sew or knit, my advice would be to get a big haberdashery kit of ribbons, beads, sequins - any gorgeous trims you're drawn to (I'm a magpie, I swear! lol) and customise your regular clothing. It's amazing how retro something can look with bows, beads and ric-rac plonked onto it! Cute outfits, btw. I love that blue striped off-the-shoulder number! x
Yesss! Pretty much how I started dressing "vintage style" (and still sometimes do), by scoping out thrift stores for styles that would work. Vintage can be so expensive like you say. These are great looks and hacks, I'll need to do the brooch one more! Love the off-shoulder peasant top ones! Also your dog 🤣
I love these ideas! Also you’re hilarious. I’ve worn vintage styles for years, both authentic and reproduction, but this gets me excited to try some new combos with my modern clothes.
Vintage style tea dresses are my favorite. I got a mustard yellow dress which is kinda I dunno what decade but maybe 60s or 70s. I’m not sure but I remember seeing that color a lot in my grandmothers home.
Thanks to my daughter I found out that Wish carries petticoats. Please be careful ordering from there but they do have some nice stuff. Also love how creative you are with clothes.
I don't think you need to worry about views or anything on the tube. Your personality and style will take you there if it's meant to be. Trust in your art and never stop letting this be fun. I have watched 3 or 4 of your videos and I'll probably binge watch the rest today, keep it up!
You are so very welcome! I have used youtube for longer and more often than I am comfortable admitting to most people, but I am being honest when I say that your personality and your talent for both styling and filming are out of this world! WIthin minutes of watching the first video I felt as if we were long time companions. You make me laugh and inspire me to challenge myself with my style. I've always been obsessed with fashion but in recent years I've been on a journey of self discovery and I've become very environmentally conscious so I've made the choice to stop shopping and supporting clothing companies that don't align with my ethical views. Watching your videos has really got me thinking about that part of myself that I have been missing. The way we dress is about so much more than an instagram photo or being on trend. I love what you said about your vintage style saying so much more about who you are than the way you used to dress. Vintage style is timeless, and shopping at the thrift store or buying actual vintage pieces is right on target with the way I choose to live my life. So thank you for that! Lol this was the longest comment I have ever left on a video, I usually don't comment at all. I can't stand the way people treat each other these days. I just really really like you! If we ever meet in person I know we will share many laughs! Now I'm gonna continue binging on your channel
Yees!! I love the idea that on top of the style making me happy, I can also find comfort in "recycling" clothes! I'm definitely not perfect and still fall into Fast Fashion sometimes but I'm getting better! You're the sweetest thank you so much! Comments like this keep me going!
I still buy some here and there when it's a better financial decision. I'd say 90% of the clothing I purchase is either thrifter or ethically sourced/salvaged. And I am very proud of that! You should be proud of yourself too, using the platform you have to spread positive lifestyle choices, and that includes choosing to be happy and confident with who you are. You are a radiant women and whether or not you made this channel to help anyone else with their self esteem you are doing it. You come across so genuine, it is truly refreshing. P.S. I bought a pair of knee high lace up boots after seeing how cute you style them!
AAAAH!! You're so heckin cute! I also enjoy your style ! My mum is actually quite glad I'm into vintage rather than what other 14 year olds are wearing these days,, These hacks really helped a lot! Especially since we're like 20 minutes away from any real store.
I just found your channel and honestly you’re so adorable and your style is so on point! The putting skirts over modern shirts idea is so clever, I’m bound to use it in the future (just need to buy more vintage skirts lol)
Yeah, Yeah I pronounce "Brooch" wrong, dON't JUDGE MEEEE *flails arms*
IM CRYING LAUGHING HAHAHAH "BROOCH"
Kaitlyn Birmingham Lol WHHAAATEVS maybe it'll catch on and all the future humans will pronounce it wrong 😂
that's legit how i've been saying it all my life lawd
Diana Lu Hahahaha right?!! I don't think I've ever heard anyone else say it out loud so I blame my non-vintage environment 😂😂😂
My aunt calls it a brooch too so I can blame it on her :3 Recently stumbled across your channel - love your videos! Living vicariously through your channel 'cause my country is really hot - isn't exactly practical to wear vintage all the time x'D
I own approximately no vintage clothes and have never been interested in the style but the jokes and fluid editing in this video have me completely glued to it
Hahaha aww yay!!! 😂❤️
Let’s hangout and watch vintage my little pony 💖
Top 10 crossover episodes
I'm a boy and am not interested in wearing this style, but I love Rachel's charm and style and creativity, too, so here I am. Again. Go gurl.
Oh my god it’s Jenny Nicholson 10/10 there make be jakes
So, guess it comes down to getting a few good skirts.
Pretty much yeah, hahaha. They can hide so much and really sell the look ❤️
where do you get your skirts from?
Nunekhiia I get most of mine from Etsy! Just a quick search for 1950's circle skirt will do it! Same with eBay 😊
Thank you for replying! I'll definitely have a look on etsy!
Eleonore Bon If you can sew it really helps but at last I don’t know how to sew
This makes a lot of sense and I'm really shocked at how many of your tops are disguised dresses.
prettythinker Muahahahahaa 😂
The Pinup Companion I thought hardly anyone else did this as well as me, I'm so glad to know that someone as fashionable as you does it as well (my "fashion sense" is very messy and makes me look like a stereotypical grandma)

If you liked it then you should have put a skirt on it
Melissa McCauley HAHA my new theme song
I feel lied to but also thoroughly impressed at how well you can disguise a dress as a shirt! Have you ever thought about doing a video on dressing vintage for different body types/sizes/shapes??
Emily Marie Heehee my little secret! Ooo that's a good idea!
That Edwardian hair by the way, I think we need a tutorial for that! Damn! It looked beautiful!
Julia Gruijters Hehehe I literally threw it up and pinned it but I kinda like how it came out!!
agree!!!!
Julia Gruijters oh my god I know!
I love your sense of humor and your style. You're literally goals.

Caroline Lapointe yeahs, and the fabric ,the confection. because that i love other fashion's time.
I feel this comment so much.
With bigger hips, I feel like everything I get that looks good (as far as shape/flare) has a stiffer fabric, so it holds its own better, or it's a LOT of fabric that's been gathered or pleated. OTL
Both of which make things warmer to wear, and our summers here are NOT friendly with that.
then you need to shop somewhere else. there's more than enough adorable dresses around
Caroline Lapointe To be honest, I'm quite slim and they just look like a sack on me :///
As a vintage collector I have found that buying reproduction vintage is more expensive than real vintage!
Very true in most cases!! Sometimes it's around the same price, but either way it's usually $$$, lol
The Pinup Companion no way not here in UK xx I can buy dresses for under £5 x
There's two vintage shops very near to each other in my city. One sells dresses for 18 euro (I recently got one from the 60s in mint condition!), The other sells dresses for 50±. Sometimes I wonder if it's greed or quality.
I didn't even like the trend of off-the-shoulder tops before I watched this video... now I have two of them.
Hahahah that's awesome 😂❤️
I giggled everytime "freak out" played. My husband just stared at me confused... It makes it funnier bc that song is 102 Dalmatians! He disagreed.

Linoria96 True!! I love seeing when people sprinkle old-fashioned or vintage items I to their wardrobe! Thank you so much lovely ❤️❤️😊
To be fair a lot of gothic style is based around Victorian fashion so...
Lol! I think I laughed way too hard when your doggie came out and you made the face. subscribed! Lol love it.
superflysquirrel Hahaha he just loves the spotlight 😂❤️❤️
"Vintage is expensive"
Lol I just take clothes from my grandmother. Also my boyfriends grandmother gave me a lot of vintage style clothes. Free.
Jealous! My grandmother passed away and didn't keep any of her clothes from back then. Enjoy it! ❤️❤️
YAS. My oma had 3 skirts from the exact time I love to dress in and it's been so great to add do my modern but vintage inspired wardrobe👌🏻
That is so cute:)

I never realized how badly I want to wear off the shoulder tops/dresses until now. If only my boobs didn't weight like, 100 pounds each, I could actually wear strapless bras! Haha
Hahaha girl I feel you. I usually just push my straps to the sides since strapless bras make me look suuuper wide and low 👎👎
Honestly, I don't even have big boobs and I have never found a strapless bra that wouldn't fall off
Try elomi! They have great bras for big boobs, even strapless ones
I'm very late, but a well-fitted corset is your best friend - naturally strapless and supports the weight of the bust so much better than modern bras! They can be difficult to hide under tight modern clothes, but wearing an extra camisole over it and/or wearing either more tailored and very loose tops can work.

Aw yay!! ❤️❤️
Yes! Put a skirt on it! I've been doing this for years. I love how it doubles your wardrobe as soon as all your short dresses become shirts too
Hehe exactly!!
True.

Is there a trick for tucking the dresses into a skirt without it looking lumpy underneath?
Kelsey Vandercoy I don't usually have a problem with them being lumpy, as long as the dress is flat underneath and isn't bunched up. Sometimes it takes some adjusting by pulling at the bottom 😊
Great thank you for the tip!
Tip, if y’all want vintage style with out the vintage price: MODCLOTH
Never considered off the shoulder tops with circle skirts. SO CUTE and perfect for the upcoming outdoor swing dances! TNX GIRL- freak out!
I'm just starting to really delve into the vintage 40s/50s style and I'm so glad I found you
MOM I NEED SKIRTS, LIKE A MILLION OF THEM
LOL! You know what made me laugh. Great ways to get the look on a budget!
It's such a simple 'hack' but it changes the entire look. I love it. I'm going to try this for sure. It's also cheaper than buying multiple dresses. You can mix and match multiple tops with skirts.You only need 1 skirt really, if your budget it tight.. 2 or 3 tops and voila, you have '3 dresses'

How does your husband feel about all the vintage-ness? I want to start dressing and living more of a vintage lifestyle but my boyfriend I think is not too keen about it.
Audrey Evaskovich He honestly doesn't care either way, I'm sure if it's something that makes you happy your boyfriend will support it! 😊❤️

My hubby wasnt keen on it but now he loves it.
Audrey Rosella If he is a good one he won't mind
What does he have to be keen about any way, it's not like he is going to wear your style?
-And if he has control issues, you might want to reconsider the bf, not just the style
Wearing the dress under the skirt gives you an instant slip.
I thank you for the idea of putting items together with a skirt. And I love when your dog gets in front of the camera. It's too cute.
Hehehe he's such a ham 😊
I love when your dog jumps into the frame and your ensuing freak outs! Thank you for not editing those moments out!
Hahaha, he's obviously such a tough little watchdog😂😂
arrested development reference :)
chocolatebeforebed 😊😊😊
I love the vintage style but does it even work when you’re plus sized?
Most of the people I see pulling it off are all much smaller than I am and I don’t know if I should even bother looking into it...
I'm in my 30s and I never thought to put skirts over dresses!!!! I have at least 20 new outfits now. Thanks!
Hehe yay!!!
So this has given me the confidence to try Shein. I’d seen a lot of ads on Facebook for it, but wasn’t sure if it was one of those scam companies. But after this video and the very nice pieces you got sent, I had a look at other reviews, and it seems they’re legit!
Which is awesome, because they have a TON of vintage inspired pieces on their site. Just so much vintage inspired! Also, they go up to a pretty large size, which is fantastic. I’ve had to be very disappointed when following other people’s recommendations for clothing, only to find that the only thing they’d sell that would fit is is maybe a brooch.
And like, one of the reasons I got into dressing vintage to begin with is how flattering it is on a fuller figure. So it’s always nice to find companies that actually sell my size.
je comprend pas tout se que tu dit mes tu est super !!!! 😉
kiki monsteur avez-vous compris ce qu'elle fait? si non, je peux aider. je peux traduire la liste des "hacks". je sais que ce commentaire est vieux, mais si vous voulez toujours savoir. aussi- désolée pour mon français, ce n'est pas ma langue maternelle, mais je l'apprends et je veux l'essayer! haha
I would recommend at annika victoria, or coolipra's page if you havent seen their stuff already!
Madison Brown I love coolirpa!! I'll have to check out the other one, thank you!! ❤️😊
Omg the second look gives me all reasons to keep living!! especially with the sleeves down.. I have been enlightened. I love your channel (newbie here)
Heehee thank you so much beauty 😊😊
I don't have any actual vintage clothes (I'm extra curvy sized so practically impossible to find) so I add vintage or vintage inspired accessories to classic clothes. Adding a little sweater with a broach and a hair flower definitely gives a vintage vibe. And can't forget the red lips!
Kendra veganbombshell Yes!! Accessories help sell it so much. Hair and makeup also can pretty much make any outfit look retro too, hahaha.
Im 13 and I absolutely love the vintage style! However I'm not sure whether im too young for the style and if it might look different or strange on me. Its also really hard to find any sort of vintage clothing where i live. Do you think I should have a go at the style or should I wait a little longer?
Aww I think you should do whatever makes you happy! It might feel strange at first but pretty soon it'll become your kinda-trademark! You could always stick to the more casual vintage style too, with just simple blouses and skirts! And then work your way to the more "eccentric" dresses and looks once you're comfortable enough! ❤️
The Pinup Companion Thank you so much! I'll definitely try it out! ♡♡
Where do you get a petticoat?
Julia Capone I have a couple, one I got from eBay, the other from an antique store! Just make sure to get a comfortable one cuz there's nothing worse than an itchy tulle one 😂😂
The Pinup Companion is there a specific material that you recommend?
Julia Capone I think mine just might be polyester! I would avoid crinoline or tulle (at least personally) because those can be kinda uncomfortable. I like my petticoat to feel like a soft blanket or pillow 😂❤️
I was not only in stitches 😂😂😂 yet again, but have taken away a wealth of brilliant ideas for vintage hacks! 👌 Big love to you & the fur baby, Frodo the Great! .....Mwah.😙xxx
Girl you got my wheels turning and I'm so ready to start changing up my wardrobe! Your very beautiful and yes honey red is your color in my opinion, it's beautiful on you but I get not wanting to stand out but wanting to look fierce! Can't wait to see what else you bring to your channel!!
Actually I think it's a very good idea to encourage people to buy second hand pieces of clothe on etsy or thrift shops because the brands you show here produce their clothe in horrible human and environnemental conditions so in my opinion that's a pity you promote them in this video :/
True, and for the most part I thrift and buy vintage whenever I buy clothes. But for some people it's hard for them to afford vintage or don't have access to good thrifting opportunities, so I wanted to show it's not necessary to have the look of vintage. The ethical side does suck, but for some it's their only viable option for clothing.
It’s hard if you are a little larger as it is hard to find vintage clothes that fit you. Or even able to find a place locally that has vintage clothes. My thrift store vintage is the 1990s.
you say brooch wrong. it's pronounced like bro
Lol that doesn't surprise me. Guess that's what happens when you never hear anyone actually say it out loud 😂😂
I already do all of this! The Edwardian hair was stunning! I think the maxis with less shape work for a more 60s\70s look.
I want to dress like this so badly! I wish it was more popular today. Its just so elegant and beautiful on all body types.
Love the way you put the pieces together to look more vintage. I love going to second hand shops and I’m starting to revamp my wardrobe. You have given me some great ideas so thank you 👍💕
I like taking a regular button-up cardigan, buttoning it and wearing it as a form fitted sweater (with a circle skirt of course). Not sure if that's an authentic vintage type of look, but it sure gives off that vibe
Ooo yes totally!!
That air raid at the start though... vintage at its finest 😂
Fabulous ideas, thank you! Great idea about using dresses as tops! Why have I not thought of that one?! :) Some of the better things I learned in my long lost youth was to knit and sew, but even if you don't really sew or knit, my advice would be to get a big haberdashery kit of ribbons, beads, sequins - any gorgeous trims you're drawn to (I'm a magpie, I swear! lol) and customise your regular clothing. It's amazing how retro something can look with bows, beads and ric-rac plonked onto it! Cute outfits, btw. I love that blue striped off-the-shoulder number! x
Ooo that's a good idea! 😊😊❤️
Yesss! Pretty much how I started dressing "vintage style" (and still sometimes do), by scoping out thrift stores for styles that would work. Vintage can be so expensive like you say. These are great looks and hacks, I'll need to do the brooch one more! Love the off-shoulder peasant top ones!
Also your dog 🤣
the blue striped dress with the white puffy sleeves looks like Dorothys dress!!!! I love it!
I love these ideas! Also you’re hilarious. I’ve worn vintage styles for years, both authentic and reproduction, but this gets me excited to try some new combos with my modern clothes.
Vintage style tea dresses are my favorite. I got a mustard yellow dress which is kinda I dunno what decade but maybe 60s or 70s. I’m not sure but I remember seeing that color a lot in my grandmothers home.
And the bits with your dog popping in killed me!!!! 🐶🐶🐶
Hehehee thank you so so much!!
Hahahha i laughed so hard when the dog jumped into the frame! xD
He was born for ze spotlight 😂
ohhhh myyyy gaawwwwd !!!!! I loooooove them all, the way you instantly gave the itrms the vintage look they were missing
Thank you so much love!! 😊😊❤️❤️
Thanks to my daughter I found out that Wish carries petticoats. Please be careful ordering from there but they do have some nice stuff. Also love how creative you are with clothes.
Omg can you stop being so pretty?! Like seriously you looked so good in all of those outfits
ashton vickers Ahh you're too sweet 😭❤️
I don't think you need to worry about views or anything on the tube. Your personality and style will take you there if it's meant to be. Trust in your art and never stop letting this be fun. I have watched 3 or 4 of your videos and I'll probably binge watch the rest today, keep it up!
Awww hehe thank you so much sweetness!!
You are so very welcome! I have used youtube for longer and more often than I am comfortable admitting to most people, but I am being honest when I say that your personality and your talent for both styling and filming are out of this world! WIthin minutes of watching the first video I felt as if we were long time companions. You make me laugh and inspire me to challenge myself with my style. I've always been obsessed with fashion but in recent years I've been on a journey of self discovery and I've become very environmentally conscious so I've made the choice to stop shopping and supporting clothing companies that don't align with my ethical views. Watching your videos has really got me thinking about that part of myself that I have been missing. The way we dress is about so much more than an instagram photo or being on trend. I love what you said about your vintage style saying so much more about who you are than the way you used to dress. Vintage style is timeless, and shopping at the thrift store or buying actual vintage pieces is right on target with the way I choose to live my life. So thank you for that! Lol this was the longest comment I have ever left on a video, I usually don't comment at all. I can't stand the way people treat each other these days. I just really really like you! If we ever meet in person I know we will share many laughs! Now I'm gonna continue binging on your channel
Yees!! I love the idea that on top of the style making me happy, I can also find comfort in "recycling" clothes! I'm definitely not perfect and still fall into Fast Fashion sometimes but I'm getting better! You're the sweetest thank you so much! Comments like this keep me going!
I still buy some here and there when it's a better financial decision. I'd say 90% of the clothing I purchase is either thrifter or ethically sourced/salvaged. And I am very proud of that! You should be proud of yourself too, using the platform you have to spread positive lifestyle choices, and that includes choosing to be happy and confident with who you are. You are a radiant women and whether or not you made this channel to help anyone else with their self esteem you are doing it. You come across so genuine, it is truly refreshing. P.S. I bought a pair of knee high lace up boots after seeing how cute you style them!
Yes, this was super helpful. I'm always at a lost as to how to make tops look vintage. The scenes with the dog were hilarious LOL
Heehee I'm glad you liked it! 😊😊
AAAAH!! You're so heckin cute! I also enjoy your style ! My mum is actually quite glad I'm into vintage rather than what other 14 year olds are wearing these days,, These hacks really helped a lot! Especially since we're like 20 minutes away from any real store.
For wrinkled clothes i use a water spray bottle; water+ few drops of fave essential oil pat away as i wear it.
I always do consignment shopping lol, so I totally get the “I’m totally unuseful!” When friends ask on how to dress like me! Such great tips!
The shirts/dresses all looked like granny pyjamas before you transformed them into super cute outfits. amazing!
Hahaha very true!! Thank you love!! ❤️
Oh, God, I've just discovered you and I've been watching this video for 1 min only and I already adore you!
Mihaela Stoian Heeheehee ❤️❤️❤️
the second dress with the skirt over top it is so beautifulllll
😊😊😊😊
You have the most appealing personality i have come across on youtube in like 5 months omg
AWW thank you!! That means a lot! ❤️
I'm so in love with you and your style!!! So gorgeous and adorable and classy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ah you're so sweet!!
You are HILARIOUS! The "freak out" bits had me laughing so hard 😂
Heeheheee ❤️😊😊
The outfits are beautiful, and I sit here laughing when your dog gets in the camera
Great video! I love that blue and white checkered skirt too. Never worry about any "babbling" you do. That's why I watch your videos 😝 💜
Heehee aww thank you lovely!! ❤️
the styles look soo good! its helps me get a better sence on matching stuff.
I have a vintage event in 5 days, no idea how to dress vintage, now I do! Thank you
The humor adds spice to my life.
MarisaJan *salt bae meme* 😘😘
Love the blue and White check skirt at the end, so cute. Thanks for another great video
Thank you love!!!
I just found your channel and honestly you’re so adorable and your style is so on point!
The putting skirts over modern shirts idea is so clever, I’m bound to use it in the future (just need to buy more vintage skirts lol)
Ahh hehehe thank you sweetest!
I love these videos. Helps me see clothes w new eyes! Hope your little helper is feeling good these days(heart)
