fashion things i'm loving right now

[@sarahellis7429]

Fun fact, paisley as we know it in western fashion was based on/inspired by traditional Indian printed textiles and I just think that’s interesting

[@CarolineTucker]

Yes! The name paisley actually came from a town in Scotland that started to reproduce replicas of the designs from India in the 1800s…I think paisley motifs originate from Persia and like 2000 years ago!

[@ellamcdaniel2737]

Yes I was gonna recommend the podcast Dressed and specifically their episode on Paisley to learn more about how this print came to be named after a Scottish town instead of its place of origin!

OK SPONSORED QUEEN! And it aligns with your values so perfectly I’m so happy and proud of you! Also yes to boho chic. I’ve been calling it “70s art teacher by day musician by night” for years but like boho chic cuts out a lot of extra syllables 😂

[@_AdrianaMM]

Florence is definitely a style icon. I’ve seen F+TM perform several times over the years and she and her fits are breathtaking. One of my favorites was when I saw her at Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit in 2014 (I think) she was wearing a gorgeous red velvet pant suit!❤❤❤ Great video

[@CarolineTucker]

omg her tour looks are NEXT LEVEL! I saw her in 2023 and she wore the dreamiest purple gown I will never forget about for the rest of my life 😭😭😭

[@CarolineTucker]

And thank you!!!

Add in some hozier and we're seeing this ethereal art nouveau 70s medieval renaissance coming up

@nefertitimontoya literally have my AirPods in listening to hozier right now stop…

[@magpie06]

Having graduated high school in 1974, I lived those most excellent styles and designs, and I've been here for it always. It's my favorite decade, both fashion-wise and music-wise. I'm the gal wearing the patterned maxi-skirt with cowboy boots and fur-collared maxi coats; as an artist, colorful, flowy garments just appeal to me, and marvelous textures like velvet and brushed cotton and silks...and of course, I also have paint-splattered overalls. I mean...of COURSE.

[@vantain20]

Just started following your channel late last year when you popped up in my recommended. Your channel is a breath of fresh air. The maximalist prints on prints trend is definitely up my alley (70s print clashing is the inspo)

[@CarolineTucker]

This is so sweet wow THANK YOU! Really appreciate you and this comment🫶🏼 also yes to all the funky 70s maximalist goodness!!

[@ModernLifeisThrift]

I'm 35 and have been thinking about posting more outfits because I do think my style is pretty unique and my body type is underrepresented, but it makes me so nervous.

[@mamajo1515]

31 and same! I told myself I would post a video a day of my outfits this year, on the 1st I got dressed, recorded about 28 videos bc I kept psyching myself out and ended up never posting 😂 at least not publicly! Why is it so hardddd

[@Idksedona]

omg i love this!!! you so got it!!

[@ModernLifeisThrift]

@mamajo1515 we should both go for it ❤️

[@CarolineTucker]

Omg you should totally do it! I know how nerve wrecking it can be to put yourself out there but I think your voice and perceptive is important and so many people would love and are just waiting to find/support you!!!

[@ThistlesPins]

At 35 I'm on the verge of being in the "older" category and I talk about non-mainstream fashion on my channel, so if you're desperate for content... That aside, I'm absolutely here for the medievalism trend and chartreuse! ✨

I’ll find it again and tell you the name of the channel…edited to add: it’s from the channel Littlejohns Yarn, and the title is “Crochet Vintage Hat Juilet Cap.”

[@cococlarity]

realness, 70s sunglasses are the cutest things ever and i want a pair so bad

[@ansteckendd]

i love your style, i would love to go shopping in your closet, you're such an inspiration! seeing you with straight hair in this video makes me wonder if your natural hair is wavy-curly or if you style it that way in the other videos.. if so, do you have a tutorial or something similar? it's always so pretty!

[@CarolineTucker]

ahhhhh thank you!!!🫶🏼 my hair is wavy so whenever I wear it straight I am having to restraighten it throughout the day lol and it’s such a hassle that’s why I rarely straighten it! I do go in with a curler to the top layer of my hair to give it the really curly look but the bottom layers dry very wavy like you see…still trying to figure out my curl routine!

[@ansteckendd]

​@@CarolineTucker i get it, it's so hard to find the perfect curl routine! i'm still trying to find a way that's not super hard or time consuming and still makes my hair look cute! (thanks for answering, you're an absolute doll!

[@fionajanek]

in my mind, we're besties and this was actually a facetime! (i agreed with you on everything and have been medieval coring it up for the past year or so)

[@zoranagavrilovic9403]

It seems that you have influenced me SO MUCH because - most of the things you mentioned in this video, I have also been excited about for a while and have been buying them or planning to buy. Just two weeks ago I was in Turkiye and bought 2 beautiful skirts with paisley, one boho and one folk-like. I got bracelets with colorful pearls and have been drooling for more jewelry with them xd Chartreuse (but also brown and orange) has been my most sought out for color as I have nothing with it and I want everything with it. I've also really been thinking about stealing some workwear from the men in my family AND I specifically want to get a few 70s halter tops (and whatever has chartreuse in it ofc) for the spring and summer. And while looking for inspiration in the outfits of the people outside, I mostly look at older men and women which you mentioned as well and gave a fascinating point about. I would never copy you but GIRL you have influenced me so much!! 💞😂

[@ancs1231]

i love chartreuse and vomity acid yellow-greens DOWNNN, im kind of glad i so divisive-i felt bad for the red girlies when it got trendified 😭

vomit green and golden piss yellow will always have a place in my heart!😍

[@kaitlincrane_]

It’s a good day when you upload! 🙌

[@CarolineTucker]

Okay now I’m blushing!! It’s a good day when I get sweet comments like this!

[@wwirelesswwizard]

The pearls thing reminds me of how Queen Elizabeth I would have many of her dresses covered in sewn-on pearls, but after she would wear one, she would have the pearls snipped off & sewn onto a different dress; apparently, royals and nobles would often have gemstones removed and switched out to a different outfit. They even would sometimes have a sort of premade trim for certain parts of their clothes (ex. the neckline) with gems and precious metals that could be tacked onto whatever they wanted to wear next. It made them look opulent without needing to buy as many jewels, and it was a great way to change the look of an already expensive outfit. We definitely should bring back this sort of versatility in clothes decoration.

[@piahillegaart9314]

Girl!! you should totally get into jewelry making so you can make your own dangle button earrings! i have made multiple pairs myself and i love them so so much

[@kaitlincrane_]

11:29 Not wishful thinking at all! I have already made a to-sew list for this year and I’ve checked two things off of it. I’m upcycling old clothing and using the fabric to make new things as birthday gifts for relatives this year. And one of my favorite shirts that has some unflattering stretching that has happen to the collar, I’ve decided to upcycle instead of donate. You’ve inspired me! Trying to consume less this year ❤️

Happy Birthday, Caroline!!! I remembered because it’s my birthday too!!

[@MelinaStyles]

How to solve your Problem with your evergrowing diy Pile: Take your crafty Friends or and of your friends and host a diy Night. Where anyone brings their "i want to do that, but have no Time for it pile". That way you meet your friends and get it on with your diy thingys and in the end you made some memories, because you also just DIY'ed your stuff but with your loved ones. I myself hosted a bracelet Night and it’s just so rewarding. You are with your friends and they take something with them from that evening🥰

There's a new youtuber that's older and talking about thrifting consciously, she also talks about aging. The thrifting therapist.

[@Hussies-and-Hags]

Would it be totally gauche to recommend my own channel if you're looking for older women to follow? I called it Hussies and Hags because a big part of getting older is mindset - you can have days where you feel like a hag when you're in your 20s, and you can feel like a hot hussy when you're 80! So my channel is about feeling like your best self through fashion (regardless of age), personal style, thrifting, and generally just being a middle-aged badass! 😂 Regardless, I always enjoy your videos - you're one of the young creators I like to watch because you're fun and I learn from you, so I really appreciate you acknowledging that us older ladies might also have wisdom to impart - thank you for that!!!

Only thing now, any new negative comments i just think fuck you shallow knobhead 😂😂😂 but yeh anxiety ruins my life now but i found a love for clothes and will push myself to wear what i love and evetually collect a wardrobe of quality old clothes that i can finaly enjoy wearing and feel good in. 😂😂 currently finding silhouettes that i like on me, at the mo, short dresses, tights and a jacket in winter.

First, I love your content, it's fabulous. I am a fan. Second, I have a critique, I hope you're ok with hearing it (sorry in advance bc I am not trying to be a shitty commenter with lame opinions). To me, the paint splatter overalls don't hit the same if they aren't distressed uniquely to you. It feels disingenuous? Like, paint on clothes to me has a cool factor, but it's exclusively cool because it's like a battle scar (with a painting or craft, in this case). But a fake scar isn't cool - it's a bit weird, forced, fake. Does that make sense? I hope you understand where I'm coming from. I think if you find it cool, maybe it's something you should experiment with and treat it as your open door to get into painting!

Hey, I don’t know if you’re aware, but boho and bohemian are racist terms that were made to stereotype and appropriate Romani fashion. I know it’s a really common term, but I ask to take a moment and be mindful of the communities that have been harmed through fashion.

[@CarolineTucker]

I had absolutely no idea, I would never say something I thought was harmful and won’t use it again moving forward. Thank you for letting me know! Eclectic Maximalism it is!

[@zenith5844]

@ of course! A lot of my fav fashion girlies use the term without realizing. I really appreciate you listening and I’m excited to check out more of your content 💕

[@CarolineTucker]

@zenith5844 no I really do appreciate you taking the time to educate me and leave this comment! So many people use the term I literally had no idea, you’re educating ME on some fashion history I definitely need to be aware of!

[@goldengrace2833]

Hello, Roma on my mom's side here. None of my people that I've discussed this with take any offense to the term bohemian. Bohemia is just a place. "Gypsy" insults some of them, but mostly we're a proud people hard to insult. There's actually a lot of pride about the word bohemian because it's applied to people that think outside the box, who make art and poetry, and who combine and honor beauty from around the world.

[@zenith5844]

@ that’s really nice that your family likes that term, but a lot of Romani advocates, educators, historians, and creators don’t like it. Especially when you know the French history behind it. You are more than welcome to use it as it is your word to reclaim. There is a huge problem with Romani fashion being appropriated without proper respect or acknowledgment, using boho adds to that lack of acknowledgment
