Trying on ALL of My Vintage Dresses and Curating My Wardrobe for Spring

- let's try on some dresses!
Hi friends! This weekend I decided to try on (almost) ALL of my dresses and curate my wardrobe so that it was a little less overwhelming to look at. After stumbling across Inspired by Nikki's method for curating her wardrobe every month, I decided to try it for myself - but as you'll see I ended up with a slightly different result!
I hope you enjoy this peek at my closet and all my dresses hanging there!

Quote of the year: "My body is what it is - to carry me through life and wear pretty dresses no matter what size it is."
Body neutrality helped me appreciate my body (or just exist in it, like you said). I have always had a belly and people think I'm pregnant. When I correct them they apologize and then they assume I don't like my body. Little do they know I'm just here for life's journey! My belly and I are in it together. Personally I think my belly is pretty cute :)
Lol I used to make it a fun joke to answer “nah I’m just fat” because to ME fat isn’t a bad word, but oh boy do people react 😂 it kind of makes them realize that’s not a question you ask a stranger while I just get to laugh about it and then reassure them it’s all fine 😂
I love that quote! I might have to steal that one.
“Gosh, I look great! I’m going to take a picture of myself”
My favourite moment of all your videos yet! It brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for modelling true self-love. And you are right! You looked absolutely stunning in that dress! It was made for you!!!!
The most attractive people are the ones who are comfortable in their body! Doesn't have anything to do with numbers on a scale. You are gorgeous 😍
Never seen anyone suit every single dress in the closet before. You look amazing in all of them.
This red/ maroon floral dress with the flowy arms and the more body-con fit, holy crap! You look like a goddess, it's so amazing to see your radiance shine through, it was so clear how happy that dress made you. And that's what it's all about, clothes that make us happy! Thank you for all your videos, and the body talk in this one was really nice to hear today! ❤ sooo jealous of all your beautiful dresses!
Wowow that red dress with the long flutter cape sleeves!!! So beautiful on you!!
This video was so much fun! I literally felt like we were hanging out together and I was helping you organize your dresses. And we would laugh and toss a sock at your hubs each time he came in. You make us feel so comfortable and are so encouraging. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for saying the things that you said. I never felt beautiful or worthy since I gained so much weight over the years. I've always wanted to always wear pretty dresses & feel feminine but never felt like I could be, no matter how many times my husband said that I'm beautiful to him. My ex-husband put me down & we haven't been together in 25yrs but his words still haunt me. I'm trying to see myself the way Jesus & my husband does but it is hard at times. I cried when you said that we are beautiful now. I loved all your dresses & I also watch Inspired by Nikki as well 😊❤
I actually love the whites/pinks and pastel florals on you, like the last eighties dress you tried on. You have a very impressive wardrobe. Lovely and fun!
I love how you said, our bodies are here to carry us through life and wear pretty dresses 👏 love you friend ♥️
My aunt sewed her own dresses. They were a 50’s or early 60’s style. She made one for me which is still in my closet! ❤️It is a green sleeveless floral with a belt. I’m so thankful for it. I wish I had that talent. There is still hope for the future. Your dresses look so beautiful on you.
I’m not through the whole video yet, but keep saying out loud to myself “she looks so good in everything she puts on!” I haven’t figured out my sizing for vintage dresses and which ones to look for on eBay or vintage places. I hope to find ONE that looks as cute on me as these all do on you!
Also, yes to the metal zipper scariness!! I have, in fact zipped my hip skin into one and it sucked! 😆
The mushroom kerchief! The white freckles! You are just too freaking cute, lady 🍄🤍
My dear Kristina , I feel as if I know you. Am so happy you have a new video with all your beautiful dresses. I find that that you have a child like quality that's so difficult to find this days. I perceive how genuine you are. I love to watch you share you're life with the public. I want you to know that I truly , 100 percent appreciate your sincerity and love. You're right your beautiful in any size and obviously like am trying you've also learned to see the big picture in life. And that is contentment within our family and purpose in life. Thank you for being you. Loren
What you said around the 15:00 minute mark, was not only what I needed to hear but so true!! I I have given birth to 4 children and have struggled with my body/weight for as long as I can remember and now I am struggling with weight issues due to an underactive thyroid. Love that you are true to yourself and value what's most important. Thank you for reminding me! ❤
Navy is my go to neutral. It looks great with red, pastel blue, yellow, pastel pink, mauve, gray, white, spring green, forest green and it flatters my skin tone. I wear it year round.
I love how you do the cheeks make up like strawberries and I love your channel , love your loving home and the cats ❤
You are beautiful!!! I have body issues & it's encouraging to hear ppl not skinny saying they love & accept their size. Thus is what I love about you.
Ok, let’s talk about how great your channel is for a minute…this was the first channel where I felt like my house is not necessarily out of the norm. The first video of yours that I saw was a cleaning one and it looked like my house. Previously I had felt like there must be something wrong with me and no one’s house looked like mine. Maybe needing some paint touched up, dust, lots of things I’ve collected and love.
Now you just said another thing that makes me feel seen (as they say). It seems everyone else says you shouldn’t hang onto things if they no longer fit, but you just pointed out that you can hang onto things you love, knowing that your body changes. I have done that and fit back into things after years and love them! Thank you for putting that out into the universe for others to hear. 🙌🏾✨
Thank you for all you do with your platform.
Also, (said this before) screw the haters. They suck and should go somewhere else to judge.
My house also has the lived in look. And right now it looks like a storm happened in here with stuff everywhere! And it’s just me and my doggie, no kids to blame the mess on. 😅 However, I just spent over an hour working on my bedroom. Tomorrow I hope to clean the kitchen. Wish I still had energy like back in my 40’s. Being a senior is a challenge for some of us that need repairs and replacement parts. 🤷♀️
@@Nwladylaura369 same here! I don't have anyone to blame it on either...😆
Your body positivity talk is helping me so much in healing how I talk about myself. I love this body, in all it’s different forms. It’s done amazing things.
Thank you for sharing with us! You’re like a motivating internet big sis. ❤
"Just here to see pretty dresses." New life motto and goal 😊
I really needed to hear the things you said about your body. I've struggled with my body image, eating, exercise, and self-esteem surrounding my body my whole life, so hearing you say the way you treat your body and how you view your body really positively impacted me. So, thank you so much for that. Also, you look absolutely in everything dress! I've never been into dresses for myself, but seeing your dresses is actually inspiring me to consider trying on vintage style dresses.🥰
What a great idea to do this! I’m inspired. Also I loved it when your hubby came in w/food it was so cute.
Fantastic video!! You so clearly love vintage dresses!! Your willingness to be your authentic self is so refreshing. Having been too tall and too heavy all my 77 years, your genuine acceptance of your body gives me courage to dress more my real self. You go girl!
May I just say, you were never “too tall” or “too heavy”, you have always been just right ❤️ society has been demanding thinness and smallness from women especially for FAR too long!
@@WithLoveKristina It;s taken me a Long time to get to that belief. And I am there.
Thanks for yout reply.
It’s so surprising how tiny the dresses are when they are folded down, because they have such beautiful shape and structure when you’re modeling them! The craftsmanship is truly amazing on these pieces!❤
We could not be more different body types if we tried (I’m 6’1”, 132 pounds and trying to gain weight) but what you said about your body is so inspiring. Nobody looks at their body the way that they should, well, except for maybe you. We’re all comparing and contrasting and for some women that proves deadly. Thank you for being so positive and natural that you didn’t make it your entire personality, it’s just who you are- that’s inspiring!
I think you look beautiful the way you are and you suit your vintage 👗 keep being your best self ,you always cheer me up thank you ❤
Thank you for being you. I love how much you love yourself. That is such a *massive* struggle for me. I aspire to be like you. Your videos always bring joy to my day. I love putting on your videos when I'm cleaning or cooking, because it feels like having a friend right there with me. It helps with my executive dysfunction. And it's so refreshing to see a real person living and loving the same lifestyle as me. So thank you for everything!
You are so wonderful Kristina. I hope you know how precious you are. I could listen to you and watch you try on dresses all day ❤
What a beautiful collection of dresses. Such fun to see you model them and it motivated me to put the heavy winter wools and sweaters in storage and start spring summer colors. That red flowered chiffon like dress is gorgeous on you. You are so much fun to watch and learn from. Thanks you. Hugs.
I love that red/maroon floral dress with the flutter sleeves, you look stunning
These dresses are truly beautiful and stylish on Kristina. How lovely those fashions were back then ! I own similar ones too, and would be happy to see girls and women in such styles on the streets, in stores and anywhere else, where other people present ( as opposed to ugly shorts and pajama pants with worn out t-shirts ). Looking at Kristina is a gift for everyone with an artistic eye.
16:03 omg the pink and white is so freaking CUTE! You have a great dress collection and I love watching your videos, very relaxing. 🖤
I also use bins! I only keep what I’m actually wearing in my closet. I pick from my bins a combo of what fits my current size and the current weather… as well as my current vibe 😎
It’s really nice to go shopping in my bins when it’s time for a new vibe. It creates so many opportunities to walk down memory lane!
I love your videos, Inspired by Nikki and Lizzy In Lace, I binge watch your channels. You all have inspired me to change the decor of my house, my makeup and for the past two years I only wear skirts and dresses and I love the journey that Im on. I am 47 years old, and thank you so much for inspiring me.
I really love the pastels and reds. The pinks and light aqua/teal? really say 50’s to me. They remind me of my grandma.
Your closet is a dream!!! You make every one of them look amazing.
LOL Kristina, you are adorable! I actually loved this video. Your thought process is inspiring to me.
Its so lovely to see you get so excited about how you look in your dresses!! Its so beautiful.
🙋♀️❤️. Confidence, and comfort in your own skin is what makes you beautiful. And, you are!⚘️
I can’t believe you don’t just slap one of these on each day and not even care about hair/makeup! So many cute dresses, you’re giving me some real inspiration for making/thrifting dresses!!
I loooooove the strawberry ones. I’m a bit obsessed with strawberries and even Joann has a lot of berry patterns 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I definitely wear dresses with gaping buttons….its just a thing people with boobs have to do lol
I just want to say that I love how you talk about your body. Thank you! (I suffered from ED for a long time, so I find this really comforting and positive)
Your collection is amazing! Thank you for sharing your content, and your life with all of us, It is so nice to see someone who is content with being perfectly imperfect instead of putting on a performance for the camera. Thank you for being you and you are absolutely beautiful inside and out, always stay that way. Your confidence inspires me with every video you post.
Watching your content is such a delight! ☀️
Man you have beautiful dresses! They are all delightful
Thank you for being you❤! I’ve recently gained weight and have been struggling. I just turned forty and was a little down but you’ve changed my view on my “new” body❤❤❤❤
Love your collection! You have so many beautiful garments. Good choice to sell some things. I find if I don't absolutely love something, I am happier if I let it go. The space it opens up gives me joy!
You are a beautiful human inside and out. Such a breath of fresh air in the space.
you should absolutely try to alter the purple flowery dress that appears at 31:30
i think it would turn out amazing!!
The cabin i recently moved into is called the Granite Rose. Im using that as inspo to lean into the rose garden and cottage core vibe.
You are so lovely!
OMG! You have the most beautiful collection of dresses! I love your channel!
I love how you two have the Pioneer Woman bedspread too :) I love it and got it on clearance for $11(and a king, which is our bed size)!
You and all these dresses are beautiful! Your videos are always so calming:)
Cool whites vs warm whites and creams. That seems to be the spring vs summer split.
I admittedly default to black, dark blue, and dark jewel tones year round, but I can see the appeal of colors for the season 🤔
Also the red dress with the impromptu photo session is beautiful, and it does look great
The maroon one with the starburst print (or studs) toward the end is also gorgeous!
You have such a joyful wardrobe!!❤❤❤
My first time watching your channel and you are a delight! Thank you for the body talk, it really made me feel good and I love all the pretty dresses!
Loved the video!! I think you are very pretty and I love that your attitude is so nice to see from a young lady!! I hate that people think that you have to be a certain size to be pretty!!🤗
I just thoroughly enjoyed this whole video! Pretty dresses, pretty lady, sweet family!
You are beautiful not just because of how you look, but because of your attitude and your personality ❤️
I don't have nearly the collection of dresses that you have but this video has inspired me to organize them but season, what a great idea! ❤
I loved this video. Beautiful dresses, beautiful message.
You have no idea how much I needed to hear your talk about beauty today ❤
First in line on the red and white dress in the beginning if it ever goes away🤣...never get rid of the strawberries house dress ever I love it.
A tip I have found is in the month of January through March is wearing bright colors to help with feeling down.
I’m glad you love your self the way you are! Everyone should. ❤ your collection it is amazing.
Wow the floral long sleeve 80’s dress screams a dress I had in late elementary early middle school. I don’t remember exactly when I had that dress.
I loved watching this video. I still haven’t decided which decade I fit into. I do like the silhouette of the 40’s. I like the sleeves of 40’s.
For me princess style dresses have always looked good on me. One of my favorite dress pattern is a pull over dress from the Y2K era. A few weeks ago I went home and went through all my patterns as well as my mom’s patterns. I was able to find some of my favorites that I needed bigger sizes.
What a fun video! You have a beautiful collection of dresses❤
Oh my GOODNESS! I love so many of them. I am glad you are finding systems that work for you! The suitcases is a great idea!!!
I love that wraparound dress! I could stop right there.
That’s what I do - different colour each month, only keeping out that month’s unless unless short of an item, then choose something from the next month’s colour. Three colours per season. Best thing about one colour is dye running shows less in the wash if washing all one colour. Love the swirl dresses wrapped around. They last longer when changing sizes with different body weight. Less buttons=less plastic. If in northern hemisphere, turquoise & aqua is April colour, in southern hemisphere for Autumn (your Fall) it’s green for gardening, camping or music festivals.
Your closet doesn't look messy to me, it just isn't closed behind doors.
Haha yeah it’s not necessarily bad, but when you have overstimulation issues visually it’s hard to constantly see EVERYTHING
❤ I've never seen so many beautiful dresses at one time in my life❤❤❤
Haha I have been collecting for a loooong time. And luckily have been the same approximate size for 5+ years now which means I can settle into a wardrobe easier!
Your my comfort channel, been feeling a bit down with alot of changes happening, this video was fun to watch thanks 😊
I love your view of bodies. Thank you for reminding us all of the point of our bodies to carry us through this world ❤ Also, you look stunning in that first pencil dress! The colours and design suit you so well.
Dear Kristina,
You have so beautiful personality.
I like and love it.
Thank you. ❤
Loved it!!!! Thank you!!
I love your videos! The music, your peaceful voice…. Great job! Especially when you’re raising a young family ❤️
So many pretty dresses!
I just watched you celebrate life. Inspirational words and beautiful dresses ❤
You have so many beautiful dresses!! I am still nursing so I’ve been keeping away from dresses but I hope this changes over the summer
It looks so good!!! That was a good idea! Love that you hide out of season in vintage suitcases, it gives me ideas ha ha!
Such agreat idea to sort and store by color thats what I'm doing even with my shoes. This really works for me because im a matching person. And i too have a huge clothing and shoes, boots, and vans collection
Ok Ive been wanting to switch over to vintage for a while. Do you have a list of where you shop. Even reproductions. It was hard to keep up with some when you mentioned briefly.
Would you do a handout or list? Maybe video on transitioning to a vintage style?
I decluttered sooooo many of my colorful pretty dresses.. 😕.. i miss them but also I have a micro sized closet and i was dealing w decision fatigue.. so its more manageable for me now especially as i have noticed i temd to outfit repeat quite a lot.. im almost doing uniform dressing.. boring but functional. Love your clothing.. living vicariously through you 😊
I enjoy watching you try on dresses. It’s just such a positive experience. I agree that the navy blousy dress just doesn’t suit your style. You have so many better fitting dresses. Such a beautiful collection. ❤
That red dress❤❤❤❤ oh my word you are stunning
All I see when I look at you is a beautiful, confident woman! That's all I've ever seen because of your genuine sincerity. As someone with a history of disordered eating, I never comment on a person's body. Not even if they have lost weight. For me, even when people were being kind they were feeding an obsession. There are so many other attributes to notice in people. Why must we focus on appearance so much? Keep doing what you're doing! 🥰
Great video! I only change my closet out every two seasons, and it’s only certain garments. In the fall I take out my sweaters and thick skirts, and in the spring I take out my warm weather tops and skirts. There are certain staples though that just stay year round. I definitely have fewer clothes than you, but I think making your closet seasonal and putting away what you aren't currently wearing is great no matter how much you have.
Beautiful dresses!!! And a fabulous job on your closet, it looks amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤
I love that housecoat!
I have 350 vintage dresses so I feel this!!!
My style is much different than yours (bavarian style dresses mostly) but I love seeing the collection! I should really do a video like this.
You and your dresses are really pretty.
I think the dress at 8:30 is my absolute fav! It fits so well and the colours are splendid :D
I love these dresses!
Interesting. I've never heard of someone doing monthly color themes.
My method is to go through my wardrobe at the beginning of each season, try everything on and devise complete outfits. Including shoes, belt and jacket. And then I 'stock' one part of my wardrobe with these curated outfits. Each of which I can reach for and be sure, I'm going to be dressed with minimal fuss and decision making. Everything else (that fits well) goes into the side compartment, where it's still easy to reach but also kinda out of the way.
Anything that's out of season or too large/small (my weight fluctuates quite a bit) goes into flat storage boxes under the bed.
No more reaching for clothes that don't currently fit or don't have a 'partner'.
Oh my! Many of those dresses became part of my favorites❤. The sailor dress before the lovely red one. And anything pink!
Dear Kristina, Thank you so much for this vidéo!!! You are so pretty, pretty dresses! ❤
You are absolutely beautiful! I’m so happy to see the confidence you have regarding your body!
That red floral with the trailing sleeves? Absolutely gorgeous on you.
Your videos are so relaxing and your dresses are so lovely!!
You are absolutely enchanting
