Just so you know the see thru scarfs arent costumie, my mother born 1919 and sister born 1944 had dozens of these they wore almost daily, eather around the neck, on a poney, tied around the head like a head band or folded corner to corner and tied under the chin. As did almost everyone they knew. I still have a pile of them. They were very common to wear because they were so versitile.
Thank you! When I say costumey here I mostly mean that they are interpreted as costumey by the general public/people who don't know much about vintage style, as of course, as you say, they are indeed very accurate. Sheer nylon scarves are just so often included in "poodle skirt" "vintage girl" Halloween costumes and the like, so I think they can make an outfit appear more like a costume as opposed to just one's regular clothes sometimes due to that perception.
@@TheClosetHistorian I use the sheer-ish nylon scarves to cover roller sets while they dry. If I'm going out to the store, I do opaque, but the sheer ones hold that hair in nicely.
I find how you accessorise modern outfit inspirational for forty’s fifties, it’s given me lots of ideas , I remember the eighty first time so feels weird to revisit a lived through time period.
@@gothdad94 It's one of the briefer scenes I think, and this costume deserved more screen-time! www.fanpop.com/clubs/now-voyager/images/15758385/title/now-voyager-screencap
I'd love to see a vintage thrift flip video of some kind? Or trying to recreate an outfit from an old photograph of an actress or something. You've been killing it with the videos lately! 😄
Didn't think you cud pull off the nautical shirt when I first saw it but with all red accessories -- YEAH!!! Loved both the dresses. My mom is 90 now and I remember her navy polka dot dress she wore in late 50's. I don't dress vintage but thru your vids am considering it. I'm 68 and love all vintage "stuff."
Thank you Barbara! Vintage is so very fun, and you could always try just one or two dresses for wearing out to lunch or on nice days out to get a feel for it. I think that's part of what is great about style in general really, you can have it different every day if you should like :)
Wow, what a delightful haul!!!! You have such an “eye” for knowing what items will work, and the vintage style looks perfect on you. I especially loved the black print dress with white color and sleeve trim.
I loved the blue blouse shirt with the red skirt. Looking at the top I wouldn't have bought it but it worked so well with the red skirt and accessories. Loved it all.
Checking your youtube channel 3 years later 😊 Casual Corner was popular in the 80's and maybe 90's. You are amazing. You can turn Dad shirts into fashion items. I love your red shoes - I had an 80's strappy 3 inch spike heels - my favorite all time - heels. Wow.
That last blouse looks to me like it can easily lean sort of 30’s Hollywood glam. The slouchy sleeves end up looking kind of like batwing sleeves. I think how you styled it looks very vintage!
i loved my 80s clothes (in the 80s) and wish i still had (and could fit in to) some of those items. i might would try dressing vintage if there were better options for plus size.
Why can I never find and/or make outfits as beautiful as you!?! 😭 Seriously!?! I've spent literally hours digging through every rack in every Goodwill in my general area, and I usually still walk away empty handed. When I do find things that work stylistically, they're usually nowhere near my size. And then when I try to style the clothes I can actually wear, it still seems to fall short of the vintage aesthetic, even if I have all the correct components... You wanna be my stylist? 🤷
Well thank you, though I'm sorry the thrift shops near you are not as fruitful! Perhaps a day trip to some shops a bit farther away or in a different town altogether could be a rewarding adventure? I would love to do a thrifting/antiquing minded road trip myself one day :)
Ive realized that i never find good stuff at my local goodwills. Instead I tend to find the good stuff on local thrift stores. Maybe try looking into local thrift stores that are not chains such as goodwill or salvation army. If that fails too, then try second hand online stores such as depop or poshmark. I've found a bunch of good vintage stuff on depop for fair prices. Etsy also has good things but they tend to be overpriced. Poshmark is the cheapest but theres less variety.
Also, seeing you wearing it, I believe you could absolutely make the 80s knights-themed blouse work into a 1920s look, using the right accesories, like maybe a kimono or a nice loose shawl or blouse over it? Just some ideas :)
I can see the last blouse as a 20's kimono.Worn over a black velvet bias dress ,even with a cigarette holder,I think this would be stunning.Also in summer worn with a bohemian cream dress . Love your "take"on things.Remember as time goes on 80's will soon be true vintage.
I do vintage thrift hauls but I love yours you show me how to step out of my comfort zone and to try patterns and styles that don’t at first scream vintage but when you style them it works I love that xx
Wow....you got a piece from Casual Corner! I loved that store. They came on the scene in the 80s and suddenly disappeared in the 90s. They had great clothes for business women who still wanted to look like a woman while wearing a suit. They sold womens fashion only and carried an assortment of jewelry and bags to go with the outfits. Loved that place!
I love the chocolate brown pencil skirt with the cargo-ish pocket on the hip. It is super cute. I have been trying to find plus size thrifting in the Houston area with little or no luck. I am looking to bring back the late 1800s-early 1900s safari look, i.e. "Out of Africa." I adore that style of dress.
Wow! You rocked that 1950's style dress! Another favorite of your finds was I loved how you styled the green and khaki rayon print. You make me want to thrifting!!
Thank you Heather! I'm in love with that top, I was really hoping to find something like that this year and it was right there waiting form me that day
I think that blue blouse could def be vintage appropriate! My first thought was that it kind of reminded me of Liz Taylor in one of her kaftans. Looove all your finds. I was staring at that black and white dress in the background pretty much the whole video! So up my alley. I really gotta go out thrifting again sometime soon.
Yay, so glad I found your channel. You approach to vintage look styling is so similar to mine. 80s does 40s is the best I have more Liz Claiborne than any one gal should own.
Thank you for all the great ideas! Every time you held a shirt up I thought oh no what could you do with that. Then you showed how you would wear it and I thought " oh my gosh I've got to get me a Dad shirt!" Love your hair, makeup, adorable toes and your sense of humor!❤️
I love seeing how you style 80's and 90's clothes, to look more like 40's and 50's. It's really inspiring and make me want to go thrift even more! And I think the boat shirt is amazing, when you style it like that. Also can I say that you look absolutely amazing in all of these outfits. Wow, goals!!
The last dress was a great find, and looks really nice on you! With the “art historian”/last shirt I am thinking 1930s vibe/kimono style if you remove the collar... maybe 😊
Thank you Rebekka! Perhaps I could pair it with really wide legged linen trousers for a more 30's look, but I would need to acquire some linen trousers for that!
I love your printed blouses! You have a great eye and that sail boat blouse is fantastic (totally works). I think that pale pink clutch was great too. I mentioned you and your love of clutches in my last video because...apparently I associate vintage clutch handbags with you. Great video!
I know the joy of managing to hunt out any affordable silk shirts & scarves when second-hand-shopping!! 😄 Sadly most of our local places seem to have finally caught on and are pricing up their silk scarves massively, so picking those up is getting harder...? and silk blouses of course were already hen's teeth, as they just don't last the way other fabrics do. Still occasionally manage to ferret something out at the more out-of-the-way places, but usually have to settle for being excited if I can just find a 100% cotton shirt that fits (even that is a little tricky in this age of polyester! 😏)
I liked a lot of what you got....but those two dresses, in the end, looked like they were made for you and the way you styled them!!! I just loved them on you!
Ughhhh that red platter hat is EVERYTHING. I kind of love the super kitchsy dad shirts 😂 I have a few I have been stumped on how to style but this gave me good ideas. Such a great thrift haul!
Thank you Kristina! I;m all about the kitchsy dad shirts right now for some reason! The red hat was an Ebay find, and I don't usually check Ebay much so it was a really lucky find
@@WithLoveKristina I made the skirt myself, the fabric is a cotton sateen from Joanns. I think Vivien of Holloway make a red sateen circle skirt but I could be mistaken!
if you find scarfs that you wont wear but think are cool and vintage to sell PLEASE put them up on Poshmark or Etsy or something! I would snatch some up! The Midwest antique and thrift stores near me don't have anything and are sad sad place to find good vintage silk scarves ! I really like how you make the most boring looking grandma clothes into cute clothes that look fabulous on you!
I wear plus sizes and more or less gave up on thrifting (for clothes) years ago but your videos make me want to try again! Or at least get more creative with my ebay "thrifting"! Those Hawaiian dad shirts look absolutely gorgeous on you! Talk about having the eye! I also love the lilac and peachy scarves. I haven't been wearing them for awhile but I have a thing for the pastels. They make me feel more connected to that time period and I love that. Also! I'm (originally) from the suburbs of NY and we had a Casual Corner in the mall. My antennas went up when I heard that! I believe it was like a Chico's but I was pretty little when it was around. And last but not least, that housewife dress is perfect! Great finds and thank you for sharing and being so detailed.
Once you start buying silk you can’t go back to cheap fabrics. I have vintage silk pjs from Victoria secret and I machine was them (since they’re just pjs) sleeping in silk pjs is very luxurious, highly recommend!
The Peter Ustinov Poirot movie: Evil Under the Sun is 30's and almost of the characters wear rainbow jewelry. Huge stacks of wood bangles, wood necklaces and earrings. Then clothing is studded with huge jewels. Its insanely awesome to see if you haven't. There is one character that wears just pink or black and white. Over the top is the words for the movie. Gotta watch!
Boat dad shirt with red pencil... YES That medieval 80s art teacher shirt look.... HELL YES I very much live in the 80s does 40s/50s realm too (defo lean into that 80 part tho, just a sucker for the kitsch). Your videos and blog posts have definitely helped me find my style and just wanted to say thank you...from one ace to another 💜
Almost couldn't concentrate because I'm so in love with your make up. Can you pretty please do a tutorial on this look? I especially need to know about the blush and the black/grey colour on your lids.
Thank you! I always do my face make-up pretty much the same so I can say the blush is definitely NYX's high definition blush in the shade Hamptons. I need to get a new one as mine has majorly hit pan! I hope to have time to do more make-up tutorials soon so I can certainly recreate this look sometime!
I used to work at Casual Corner in the 90/early 2000s. They were in the mall. I’ve always been jealous of ladies who can wear blouses, I’m a bit top heavy and can’t always button them.
I have trouble with button ups gaping too and finally just decided to really size up, better to have to take in the waist perhaps and have the shirt fit properly over the bust in my experience!
The big "art history" shirt is fabulous! Very Greek Islands vacation looking! Love the sailboat shirt. It calls for 30's wide pants and espadrilles! The black and white dress is adorable on you!
Thank you! I would love to have wide leg 30's pants, I must stock up on vintage style trousers this year, it's my goal if/when I have any legitimate funds to work with ;) I would also quite like to go on a Greek Island vacation!
Wow i really love your vintage outfit. The 80's/90's does 40's and 50's inspired outfit look great on you. That nautical dad shirt with that red pencil skirt is very cute, you pulled it off, very vintage. I am more in the 70's style inspired but still your video inspired me.
Well I don't really know anything about vintage clothing, but I love old time things and history. I love your videos! SO cool and interesting. My hobby is actually riding horses so way off but still love your videos!
Thank you Hailee! I have only very rarely been able to ride horses myself, but I do love to do so! The last time was several years ago when I was visiting a family friend in France and she brought me to one of her friends property to ride one of his big farm work horses around which felt very sturdy. She was so nervous since I'm not very used to riding, especially on a European style saddle, so she made me wear her helmet even though we were going quite slowly around the pretty yellow rapeseed fields :)
Fab thrift haul chica! I am always on the look out for neutral short sleeve blouses in my local thrift stores...You can never have too many I find! Love the 'dad' shirts & I think you've pulled off the looks 100% doll, super cute! Xxx
Honestly I think it looked really feminine on with the red skirt, very retro looking and gorgeous. A pencil skirt it would turn heads, especially with your body shape!
Great picks! The Heraldry blouse is lovely! My first impression of the print was 1920's Greek/Egyptian revival, so I would suggest styling it open over black wide leg trousers and top with a gold belt and cloche hat (a la Miss Fisher), or tied as you had it with a tea length skirt or slip dress, 20s/30s mary jane kitten heels, and seamed stockings. Love your collections, and looking forward to your next one!
Thank you Jeanie! I really have been neglecting 20's fashion lately for a few years, I certainly need some wide legged early 20th century trousers in many colors too, as I have none!
I'd love to see you do a future video on styling 1920's; with your current wardrobe and shoes, I'm so looking forward to seeing what you would come up with!
I think that dad boat shirt is adorable, and you certainly rock it! I also really loved the '80s does '40s dress and the way that you styled it. You look great in everything!
i feel like you have validated my interest in dad shirts and for that i thank you
I'm here to help ;)
The nautical dad shirt would be kind of cool with cropped red pants or pedal pushers that they called them in the '50s and '60s 😉😎
Totally! I would love some, I really need to expand my capri/cigarette pants/trousers collection in general!

That is a good use!

also planning vintage summer outfits around a hypothetical 40s cruise one will never take (a la Now Voyager) is a 100% solid way to go IMO
There is a patterned suit in that film that I NEED, but I have never seen another like it!

You should do a collaboration with Rachel Maksy :D
Omg yes
I would love to someday, her channel is wonderful!
That would be awesome!
Oh my goodness that would be incredible. Two fans of The Mummy style 😁
Umm 🤔
Casual Corner was definitely a mall store back in the '70s and '80s. 👍
Fantastic finds! Love the sailboat dad shirt! You rocked it with the circle skirt and it would look great with a pencil skirt too!
Thank you Rachel!

Two years late to this party, but I had to say how incredible that black and white dress at the end is. Love the little bits of color in the pattern!
I remember Casual Corner!! They were a bit middle of the road. One of the mall stores back in the day. Kind of like Forever 21.
“ Weird foot people of the internet” lol 😂
I know they're out there! The internet is a weird, wonderful, and also occasionally scary place ;)

I need to get a new one as mine has majorly hit pan! I hope to have time to do more make-up tutorials soon so I can certainly recreate this look sometime!
Great video and awesome outfit ideas!
I LOVE that boat shirt with the red skirt and accessories, looks so cute. 💜
Thank you! I'm glad most seem to agree it's cute and not a miss ha!
I used to work at Casual Corner in the 90/early 2000s. They were in the mall. I’ve always been jealous of ladies who can wear blouses, I’m a bit top heavy and can’t always button them.
I have trouble with button ups gaping too and finally just decided to really size up, better to have to take in the waist perhaps and have the shirt fit properly over the bust in my experience!
TheClosetHistorian I used to be 120 with size D, I couldn’t even button. Going up a size would be an option now that I’m not tiny anymore.
You look fabulous in all these! Awesome job!
Thank you Ashley!
The big "art history" shirt is fabulous! Very Greek Islands vacation looking! Love the sailboat shirt. It calls for 30's wide pants and espadrilles! The black and white dress is adorable on you!
Thank you! I would love to have wide leg 30's pants, I must stock up on vintage style trousers this year, it's my goal if/when I have any legitimate funds to work with ;) I would also quite like to go on a Greek Island vacation!
The yacht shirt is awesome, you could also wear it with a yellow skirt or capris for a cruise look
So fun to find someone into vintage who lives in Colorado!!! (Denver area I'm guessing). Arc Saturdays for the win!!
What is it generally called, the Denver Metro Area? Indeed :)
Casual Corner was a very popular mall store in the 70s and 80s.
Your wardrobe is so gorgeous. I loved every single thing you bought at the thrift haul. Excellent eye for what works for you.
Thank you Christine!
Casual Corner was a store in our mall back in the 70s. It had cute, young clothes. They were a bit pricey.
Good to know!
Love your style...
It's so lovely to see feminine ladies still dress like ladies! Love it! The colours as well as the use of vintage. Very unique.
Love the sail boat shirt.i would do it.like the shirt after it too.they look very nice on you.even blue and white dress with the red ascents love it.
Wow i really love your vintage outfit. The 80's/90's does 40's and 50's inspired outfit look great on you. That nautical dad shirt with that red pencil skirt is very cute, you pulled it off, very vintage. I am more in the 70's style inspired but still your video inspired me.
Thank you Marie!
The Sailboat shirt, and the way you styled it, was definitely my fave look. You totally made it work!
Thank you!
Well I don't really know anything about vintage clothing, but I love old time things and history. I love your videos! SO cool and interesting. My hobby is actually riding horses so way off but still love your videos!
Thank you Hailee! I have only very rarely been able to ride horses myself, but I do love to do so! The last time was several years ago when I was visiting a family friend in France and she brought me to one of her friends property to ride one of his big farm work horses around which felt very sturdy. She was so nervous since I'm not very used to riding, especially on a European style saddle, so she made me wear her helmet even though we were going quite slowly around the pretty yellow rapeseed fields :)
Especially love the dresses. My mom had the nylon scarves. Would have been the early 60's.
Thank you Linda! I want to collect a rainbow of the scarves to have on hand ;)
i love the sailboat dad shirt.
That boat shirt looked great with the red skirt!....just love how you style things x
Thank you Bettie!
I love 80's blouses! I just found some cool items like that, today!
The outfit with the boat shirt is cute!! You can pull it off!!!
Thank you Hailey!
I loved the sailboat dad shirt! It was my favorite outfit and definitely make the red pencil skirt
Thank you!
Fab thrift haul chica! I am always on the look out for neutral short sleeve blouses in my local thrift stores...You can never have too many I find!
Love the 'dad' shirts & I think you've pulled off the looks 100% doll, super cute! Xxx
Thank you Jo!
Love the Anne Klein and ivory blouses and the leopard print belt. Great finds!
Thank you!
Honestly I think it looked really feminine on with the red skirt, very retro looking and gorgeous. A pencil skirt it would turn heads, especially with your body shape!
Thank you!
Great picks! The Heraldry blouse is lovely! My first impression of the print was 1920's Greek/Egyptian revival, so I would suggest styling it open over black wide leg trousers and top with a gold belt and cloche hat (a la Miss Fisher), or tied as you had it with a tea length skirt or slip dress, 20s/30s mary jane kitten heels, and seamed stockings. Love your collections, and looking forward to your next one!
Thank you Jeanie! I really have been neglecting 20's fashion lately for a few years, I certainly need some wide legged early 20th century trousers in many colors too, as I have none!
I'd love to see you do a future video on styling 1920's; with your current wardrobe and shoes, I'm so looking forward to seeing what you would come up with!
It is so fun and educational to watch your videos. Ihave some vintage accessories but not much in clothes, yet.
Thank you!
You should totally go on a cruise one day. They are so much fun.
Also, stealing all my husband's dad shirts now.
I usually go on vacation mainly for museums though, and cruises are sorely lacking in them! ;)
That soft khaki shirt paired with the brown skirt looks like an army uniform from WW2. Good look on you!
Thank you!
I think that dad boat shirt is adorable, and you certainly rock it! I also really loved the '80s does '40s dress and the way that you styled it. You look great in everything!
Thank you!
Great finds. The sailboat top is darling. I love quirky prints.
Thank you!
You have my thumbs up to the nautical shirt, I think you are already "working it"! I agree it would look great with a pencil skirt.👌🏻
Thank you Stella!
Love the sail boat shirt. And yes, a pencil skirt!
Thank you!
I‘m here for the ‚next level dad shirts‘ 😄
And you’re giving me major ‚vintage boss babe‘ vibes in those skirt/blouse combos!
Thank you Rara! I'm on a dad shirt kick lately :)
What you did with the first dress was spectacular.
Thank you!
