  • Though it's a strange summer, I still wanted to play with a little bit of adventure style again this year. Here are some vintage inspired outfits, mostly 1940's things, along with a little story line about a would be journalist working her way towards being reunited with her love abroad.
    For those who are like "what?! Reno??" that's where all the glam gals in 1940's movies dashed off to for a quicker divorce back in the day.
    (RE-UPLOADED due to someone copyright claiming the wobbly recording of Anything Goes from the original ending, though I doubt they were really Cole Porter, but I digress...) (Original video went live July 12, re-uploaded on Oct 6th)
    Music from Epidemic Sound.

    But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
    First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

    Hello all! I highly doubt Cole Porter was in need of any royalties, but I played the "just use the song" game and lost" eek! I'm sorry about the re-upload! I have simply set the other version to private so it still technically exists with all of your kind comments in the archives ❤

    • @HikiibatoHada

      Rewatching because it's a good video, but also so you get my monetary view back!

    I think the adorable entomologist should be a long running character. I appreciated the end with the patrons running over the luggage! Very well designed. I love these mini movies so much!!

  • @breeinatree4811
    @breeinatree4811 Před 3 lety

    I nearly spit my tea out on hearing the line, lunch with an entomologist. I have a long torso and short legs. I think this style of clothing may look good on me because of the waist being so high. Thanks for your video.

  • @bohemiansusan2897
    @bohemiansusan2897 Před 3 lety +8

    I love these mini fashion shows. I'm seriously envious of all the clothes that you have. My wardrobe is quite compact with all the pieces at least doing double duty and most doing at least triple duty or more, meaning it has to be upper profesionsl, business casual, church or ministering and Goth. Punk is a big bonus though. Now I'm inspired to do the Black Dahlia look.

    How delightful! My great Aunt Pat finagled her way over to London and bought a car, and signed up for the Ambulance Brigade in probably as much style during this time. You even look like her, as she was a black haired beauty too.

  • @selkiemorien9006
    @selkiemorien9006 Před 3 lety +4

    Your narrating is the best! It's like watching a graphic novel in moving pictures, I can see the happenings in my mind while you tell us the story. The way you put some major thought into these outfits is astounding! Love it to bits!

  • @strangeamanda7470
    @strangeamanda7470 Před 3 lety

    Wonderful little movie as usual. A beautiful collection of clothing. I love a smart cut suit but then when I see them I am reminded I also enjoy the pencil skirt and trouser outfits. I’ve expanded my beret colour range too this Autumn and its fun! 💕

    Do you also make the hats?

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  Před 3 lety

      Sometimes! Most of my hats are vintage though, as it can be very difficult to source high quality or vintage straw braid and capelines, so buying vintage straw hats is actually far easier than making them :)
