[@lewisvilletexas]

Agree. She is funny. I can't get any feel for her age but her references make me think she might be older than she looks which is young.

[@kaylamaenot3247]

I feel like for a lot of vintage gals, myself included, when you first start your journey your wardrobe looks a lot more pinup/rockabilly because that's what's more easily available? Then as your style matures you learn what you actually like, and how to style modern things you like to fit that style. The shortness of the bird skirt and the grey pencil skirt definitely read more rock-a-billy to me.

[@rachelmaksy]

For sure!!! I've noticed that's the journey a lot of us take hahaha

Frodo says "this closet purge. No toy purge!"

[@5Seed]

I have found after many a closet clean out, that I’m not the kind of person that can sell clothes. The energy and effort required is too great. I donate EVERYTHING regardless of value (even my wedding dress).

[@sebastianmaker6798]

Nothing wrong with that! But as someone who used to work for a charity shop, make sure you donate in season. People often bring their summer clothes in when fall is starting and we simply don't have the room to keep clothing that won't sell for the weather. So either going through the clothes at the start of the season or saving it for next year is super helpful.

[@5Seed]

@@sebastianmaker6798 it's a very good point and I only donate things I think would sell. I've always said if I think I could get a few dollars for it on facebook I'd donate it. Otherwise its rags.

I need to do a closet purge and film it. I have a lot of true 1950’s vintage I SHOULD let go that I can’t because... 50’s in my size is hard to find. But I like the idea of a revolving door closet - one in, one out. Also small closets and never leaving the house, I also don’t need that many clothes so... yeah.

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha it's a constant struggle!!

[@Ferrousfibers]

I'm currently in the process of turning my closet into a 1920's-1940's neutrals/aviator/ Indiana Jones villain/ Peaky blinders capsule wardrobe and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has strange fashion inspiration.

[@hayleyjo_co]

i really appreciate that you're so aware of your fashion consumption! i feel like there's such a culture of consumerism as entertainment here on youtube and its easy to forget that your clothing footprint can leave a big mark on the planet. it must be especially hard to be conscious of that when you have fashion as an element in your youtube channel. promoting reselling and apps like poshmark makes such a huge difference, so thank you!

The Algorithm brought me here. Why I don't know as I'm an just an old guy. But since I'm here I have a story that I hope will resonate with you and yours. A while ago I went to an estate sale. While waiting for it to open a woman walked up totally in 50's period. Hat to shoes. She looked terrific. She looked like my mom did back then. I asked her if I could take a photo and she said yes - and thanks for asking by the way. We got to talking. She dealt in vintage clothing and shopped estate sales. Makes sense. I asked if she wore vintage everywhere she went and she said no. After the sale she was going to an assisted living facility. It's what she does as often as she can. She wears her best period clothes and goes to talk with the people "in the home" as mom would say. Here's the part that chokes me up every time....She said the women perk up and talk about their clothes and their lives. The men take her hand - talk about their wives - and cry.
