Modern to Retro Challenge: Target Edition!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hiiiii!! So I wanted to address the "Fast Fashion" issue: Trust me, I totally get it. That's why I usually push so hard for thrift hauls and buying vintage/used, and very rarely buy from 'mall stores', but sometimes stores like Target are all that people have access to, so it becomes really difficult for me when I want to illustrate a point and educate, but also don't really want to support fast fashion. Going forward in the series, I definitely want to explore more ethical and sustainable brands (hopefully ones that don't cost me an arm and a leg but I understand quality comes with price), so if you guys have any suggestions, that'd be great!

[@rachelmaksy]

I just wear my normal one and push the straps off to the side! It's not the best solution but I'm still on the hunt for a good strapless one!

[@cougarrain]

Hi, I also like to thrift shop. And Im not a huge fan of buying clothes that half the town owns, lol. When I do buy from a big marketing stores I go to Kohls, Tj Max, Walmart has cute crochet/ lace summer tops , Ross, and Marshalls.

[@copperboom1636]

It can also be really hard to thrift if you're plus-sized. Sometimes fast fashion is the only option for some folks. *shrugs*

[@jeanieschlegel6505]

Amen, sista! I have a collection of vintage bags, hats, and accessories and use those with modern vintage-style pieces to create the look I want. Torrid has some incredible pieces in their summer inventory that look very vintage - Edwardian to 1960's. Check them out, and Old Navy with their summery gingham dresses and vintage prints. Happy hunting!

[@merej9292]

I second the suggestion to try a discount store like Marshalls! I'm always having to hold myself back when I go because they have so many cute clothes, and it's so easy for me to say, "it's only 15 bucks, why not?" Their home decor section is lit, too. Just saying 😂

[@jessm3306]

$20+ clearance.....that is full price in my world lol. They all look great though.

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha same 😭😭

[@jessm3306]

I agree, take the green skirt back. The rest look great and its ok to splurge lol

[@Sadieakers23]

Same lol

[@morgothlotr1573]

This attitude is what created and fuels fast fashion.

[@Miss_Anthropy_]

morgoth lotr I thought fast fashion was more about poor quality and buying the new “trend” and throwing away stuff once it goes out of fashion. Kind of like disposable clothes. I see no issue in looking for deals. Sounds responsible actually as long as you get the use out of them/buy from a responsible maker.

[@sarahingerson6202]

Honestly, I could just watch you model your clothes in new ways every week. Your fashion sense is so inspiring!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee you're the sweetest thank you!!!

[@lisamartinez4113]

Sarah Ingerson I would love that too...just Rachel standing in her living room swishing her skirt.

[@maddo_2197]

I love it when the doggo has captions😂

[@rachelmaksy]

heheehee

[@NatJediMASTER]

A very large portion of my wardrobe is also olive green lol it got real awkward when I also had an olive green purse and I actually looked like an olive....carrying an olive with a strap. The other part of my wardrobe is burnt orange....maybe my goal is to be a carrot

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahahaha NO SHAME, that's amazing

[@Anak-ie2pn]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MissDraiha]

Oh hello it's two years later, but are you me?

[@NatJediMASTER]

MissDraiha 👀 gurl maybe

[@leanna6194]

YASSSS someone finally said it! Target is not cheap ladies! Walmart for life.

[@rachelmaksy]

Right? I feel like most people think it is cheap but it's totally not hahaha

[@jessica23claire]

Oh man it's the same at Australian Target. I saw a dress that was like $120! FROM TARGET!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

skyfairy 5 Walmart has an amazing online selection!

[@lindabrown7374]

I hate Walmart. And they are not always cheaper. I've done my homework.

[@hiloral7699]

Yes target is more expensive but the styles are wayyy better than Walmart

[@jetta.silence6356]

@thepinupcompanion oh oh oh! I have a NEW challenge for you! Pick a look from your favourite 1940's movie or 1970's movie and you must recreate it as closely as possible from hair to shoes using only thrift store items that you must buy.No using any clothing you already own or shopping online.

[@rachelmaksy]

Ooooo yes!!!

[@gilliansullivan1504]

Seconded!!

[@cannibalcreep6180]

Darling, those off the shoulder tops are so easy to make. if you can sew in a straight line, that's all you need to know. they are just two rectangles with some elastic drawn through the top. You could make a ton of them in fabrics that you like or to match an existing skirt or pair of pants.

[@rachelmaksy]

I need to try it!! 😍

[@cannibalcreep6180]

The Pinup Companion all you need to do is stretch out one that you already have onto some paper (it could even be newspaper) and trace it out. It's that simple, i promise.

[@whossoul]

You are totally right! Though this line of thinking is a slippery slope! A circle skirt is three straight side seams, sew on a waistband and zipper, hem it, and your done! Or instead of attaching a waistband, you can whip up a quick princess seam bodice and have a dress! It's really awesome being able to sew your own clothes, and sooner or later you realize that you can make pretty much anything you can find the materials for. Which is why the only reproduction things I buy anymore are novelty prints designed in house that I couldn't possibly get fabric for!

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

I'm totally on board with this! I started sewing last month (lol) with expanding my "vintage" wardrobe in mind, along the line I'm hoping to buy a lot of vintage patterns, but right now I'm sewing a skirt!

[@cannibalcreep6180]

Good on you love, sewing is such a useful skill to have and you will feel like a million bucks wearing something that you made. There's no end of helpful youtube videos on sewing to help you continue to learn.

[@sharayalee3376]

I literally yelled “AND IT HAS POCKETS!” when you tried on the first skirt

[@leaheart4411]

YESS I LOVE THIS SERIES❤️❤️ Please make these challenges part of your regular uploads because it's very difficult to get vintage looking clothes in modern stores for me but his video shows modern clothing in a new light🙌🏼 Could you do a Walmart edition for cheapos like me or even an amazon edition🙏🏼

[@rachelmaksy]

Yay! I definitely will try!

[@raraavis7782]

Oh, I love the tan and olive stuff on you. If there’s one thing I think suits you at least as well as vintage, it’s the safari/adventurer look! All that’ll missing, is a prop rifle slung over your shoulder and some lions roaring in the background (I‘m looking at you, Frodo) 😁 I agree though, the high/low skirt doesn’t cut it. Especially without pockets!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you love!!

[@Ardella]

I love your videos. I know you've been having a rough time in terms of motivation recently, but I want you to know that you're a big part of the reason I started making videos again. Even if your reach feels small, you're making a huge difference. Also this video was super fun! Take care of yourself and know that you have a lot of support behind you.

[@rachelmaksy]

You are so sweet, thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@loraossola5963]

Could you do a tour of your home , or even just certain rooms or pieces? Love the peaks of vintage furniture and decor! I watched the video where you mentioned this was your grandma’s home before yours,, I love old houses. How special that you have that part of her and have made it your own! I’m such a fan of all you do, thanks for all the hard work and creativity 💚

[@vegaslights1681]

I found one of my recent shirts from target on the clearance rack. It's so hard to find mock vintage white shirts now a days. Even from reproduction sites.

[@rachelmaksy]

Definitely!

[@tulipsalinger1410]

this was a lot of fun! Target is expensive! also your look has evolved since 2018! You are fabulous then and now!

[@TheBrit1986]

Target has so much for the vintage look right now but the price tag is to high it’s getting ridiculous

[@rachelmaksy]

Right?? I feel like it's always been a bit expensive even in my high school days womp womppp

[@oeilletetetoile1356]

Is it really expensive when we think about the labor and materials involved in manufacturing clothing? I would categorize Target’s clothes as fast fashion, and though the price may be high relative to how long they will last, I still think they are cheap in terms of using poorly-paid labor, low-quality details etc. I hate that this sounds hopelessly snobby, but it really does make me uncomfortable to see high consumption of fast fashion with little consideration of the environmental impact or human rights issues involved. It would be fair to say I am privileged because I can afford to spend more on clothes, but I honestly still limit how much I buy. I enjoy this channel and don’t want to criticize Rachel for having fun shopping and making a cute video with styling suggestions, but I wish the fast fashion issue would be addressed at some point. I realize, too, that some people do not have the budget for new clothes from higher-quality sources, but I have seen even my affluent friends buying exclusively fast fashion and looking for the cheapest sources of clothing in the past few years. I find this emphasis on price and quantity over quality to be unsustainable, and I have to admit that I would be disappointed to see a series focusing on hauls from fast fashion marketers.

[@sonyafirefly3879]

@@oeilletetetoile1356 That was very politely expressed. The thing about fast fashion, too, is that it's not actually cheaper, because the clothes fall apart. I mean, I guess if you're discovering your style it IS cheaper because your wardrobe will keep shifting, but if you know what you want and are looking for pieces you'll wear forever, department stores are not going to save you any money. I grew up without a lot of money, and almost all the clothes my mom got for my sister and I were from rummage sales, thrift stores, or hand-me-downs from other families. I think the only new clothes that we got were bras, underwear, and jeans. Because of this background, I don't like spending money on something that isn't going to last. I recently saw that Target had come out with a whole bunch of summer clothes with unfinished seams. As somebody who is teaching herself how to sew, this hurt my heart for artistic AND ethical reasons. It should be a crime to sell a half-linen, half-cotton dress with raw edges. I read an article once on how even American seamstresses are underpaid (paid by commission at too low a rate to make a decent hourly wage, since sewing takes so long). I have also heard that, for many single or poor women in third world countries, sewing is one of their best bets of survival. I wish that it was easier to get reliable information on the factory conditions that each brand of clothes are coming from.

[@sharonhughes588]

I really like the polka dot dress....that open part looks like a nod to the way the play suits use to be....and that black and white skirt with the black top....FABULOUS on you!!!! I adore your humor and wit....you consistently make me laugh out loud....and who couldn't use a bit of loud laughter?!

[@vintagedreaming60]

Dang, how hard do you sneeze? Lol Vintage is tough as plus size. I just went crazy when Torrid did a retro line. I love the polka dot dress.

[@whossoul]

I feel you! As a plus sized girl I've accepted that my vintage collecting is never going to be clothes, so instead I look for great vintage hats, jewelry and accessories! Just be careful, in my hunt for vintage accessories I've also started collecting vintage chachkis and vintage mid-century modern furniture!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha not that hard, but when a vintage dress is super fragile, and amount of force can pop those buttons off lol

[@ambergerhelper7852]

VintageDreaming Amazon has some pretty dresses and skirts.

[@sasham3200]

THANK YOU!!! I will now look at modern clothes differently! I just have to "look" a little harder and I can find something that can be turned into "vintage" outfits!!!

[@lisita1020]

Absolutely love this haul and of how you turned modern pieces into vintage looks. You have a great eye. I go into Target and get completely overwhelmed that’s why I do the majority of my shopping online.

[@kirstenyoutube7411]

Without sounding like the guy from silence of the lambs, your skin is so beautiful 😍

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahahaha aww thank you!!!

[@whossoul]

I've found Target to be a great place to get cardigans! Year round they always have them, in a variety of colors that change through the seasons, and they usually have a few with cute lacey patterns in the spring/summer. Living on the west coast it never gets THAT cold, so cardigans are my stable through the fall and winter, and it's nice having an easily accessible source for them!

[@rachelmaksy]

So true! I almost bought some this time but was like hmmm maybe I'll wait til fall lol

[@trollfunk]

This is so cool! I technically dress vintage (the majority of my clothes are 80s-90s) and it's really interesting to see how seamlessly these pieces that look very modern by themselves can go into making an authentic looking outfit. I think pre-70s fashion can seem very intimidating because of the disconnect our culture has because of how much time has passed (not to mention the majority of thrift store clothing is 70s-00s)

[@22mendonca]

Absolutely agree with ya doll! You guys have Target & we have Primark for cheaper clothing. I buy a ton of cardigans plus, just recently purchased a couple of peasant style tops for the grand sum of £6 each!!!! So easy to achieve that vintage look if you do your research. A definite game changer for sure. Big love to you & Frodo cutie! Xxx

[@7supergirl]

I love videos like this!!! Thank you so much. I'm new (very new) to vintage, and don't have a ton of money to spend on the real stuff, so every bit helps. I really like that you are trying to make vintage accessible to everyone. Thank you! I really hope you post more of these!

[@rachelmaksy]

Aww yay I'm glad!!

[@AA-hy6nb]

HM has now Conscious Collection from organic cotton and recycled polyester. And there are some very nice off-shoulder blouses&dresses. One can make a purchase even more affordable by delivering to HM your old clothes for recycling and getting for them 15% discount.

[@rachelmaksy]

Oo!!!! Good to know thank you so much!

[@AA-hy6nb]

Glad, that it can be useful for you :) That is what HM says: "We believe fashion is far too precious to end up in landfills. That is why in 2013, we launched our garment collecting initiative worldwide. You can drop off your textiles - no matter brand or condition - in all our H&M stores across the globe. Several of our other brands also offer garment collecting." about.hm.com/en/sustainability/get-involved/recycle-your-clothes.html

[@AA-hy6nb]

To be honest, I deliver to them also old&worn out home textiles, like bed-linen, and even shoes,- packed in a separate bag, but inside of the big bag of clothes. Because they produce shoes too, so it is logical, that they should take care of them and recycle them too.

[@victoriayirka6408]

Everything is so cute on you! Especially that floral design peasant top with the yellow skirt! I love that outfit!

[@kittyvankat]

My friend Lisa and I are going to Value Village tonight for thrifting!! Makes it super easy when my hubs works for them and I believe I get a discount! We've both been very lucky with our finds though, I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun and Lisa will find a lot of vintage items!

[@lindaelizabethcole3675]

That was a brilliant video Rachel , so informative , very educational and I totally get what you are talking about , thanks for sharing , wish I had discovered you about 20years ago , your so quirky and different , I love your videos , so entertaining. Happy Vintage Shopping !! Rachel .

[@laurie4275]

Im dying to see one of you vintage lifestyle KZbinrs do a Wish.com haul of vintage reproduction accessories. I see adorable shoes, hats, gloves, headbands, jewelry, etc... that are totally 1930/40's. Its so cheap! And honestly, Im usually perfecy satisfied with what I buy from Wish, and their shoes get surprisingly good reviews. I'd love to see you film a vintage haul review.

[@MirandaMilner]

Rachel, you need to know that you're one of my favourite KZbinrs. You're fashion sense is fabulous, you're hilarious, and you always make me smile. I have a really bad cold right now, and I spent most of my day watching your videos. Always cheersme up... Love you!

[@HaidebugCreates]

The amount of movie, TV show, and song references you make in all your videos make me happy

[@elizabethhanantaylor6332]

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! I bought that striped white and blue skirt number the second I saw it in target. One of my favourites! It’s so precious

[@rachelmaksy]

Heeheehee yes!! It's so cute!

[@sodapop6603]

My favorite outfit was that black off the shoulder top with the yellow skirt! Sooo cute! Great video! I know you've been dismayed lately- and so I really appreciate you still put out a video! I hope you're doing okay!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much love!!

[@Gryffindame]

Mine too!!

[@xfallenxlostx3254]

I do this every time I shop, but it’s finding pieces that fit my goth aesthetic and personality in a regular store. The trick is to look at the potential of a piece. Might not be perfect off the rack, but can be made close with some personalization.

[@copperboom1636]

I buy most of my dresses at Old Navy! The cut isn't *exactly* vintage, but if you style outfits correctly and put on a pair of vintage-y shoes it all works nicely. Plus they have sales all the time so you can easily get a dress for around $15. That's how I rock my mid-century look on a budget. :D

[@LEMONSareGREAT97]

Oh my goodness that black off the shoulder top and earth toned skirt is SO BEAUTIFUL. Fave outfit of all.

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you my love!!! 😊

[@laineeeeeeeeey]

target is a total hit + miss ahh ! the " who what wear " line typically has the best ! skirts !! but you definitely have to keep an eye on when they get new lines + when they all go on sale hahahaha !! last summer they total had linen circle skirts + let me tell ya,, i was livin the dream !! loved the video + i think you're hair just keeps getting better + better oh my goodness !!

[@rachelmaksy]

Hahaha oh man I must've missed the circle skirts, dangit!

[@iamloved223]

I have a 40's dress - original black slip with the sheer dress overlay embroidered with roses found for a few dollars at the thrift store. Definitely no sneezing allowed when I'm wearing that one!

[@retrobebop61]

What about Walmart? Now that would be a challenge! The prices might be better, but selection? Maybe.

[@whossoul]

I've actually noticed a few things this summer at Walmart that were totally retro inspired. Like a tropical print playsuit with the skirt that only comes like 2/3rds of the way around and leaves a gap in the front, which is very 40's. I almost grabbed a top with the gathered neck and ruffle like Rachael showed, but then I remembered it was Walmart and would probably fall apart after a couple washes!

[@rachelmaksy]

Possibly!

[@retrobebop61]

whossoul You’ve got that right

[@ambergerhelper7852]

retrobebop61 Walmart has an amazing selection online!

[@chloeheck9068]

I’ve found my favorite vintage inspired pants from Walmart. Although most of my skirts and pants are from family members who made them at the period or thrift stores.

[@justine3463]

I'm crazy about almost all the clothes you've presented ! I wish we could find such stuff more easily in France ! So ... The sewing machine is my best friend ! You gave so much inspiration for my next creations to come !!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you so much lovely! I definitely want to teach myself to sew more of my own clothes too!

[@carolinasassenach8535]

Ok I'm back. It's me the over-eager commenter! 👋👋👋😁 I loved your haul! It's amazing how easy it is to make modern pieces vintage. Another thing I noticed too is how huge of a difference the hair and makeup make. It takes it from cute everyday dress or skirt, to vintage in an instant just from a victory roll and a red lip. You're my hero! ❤💄💋

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee exactly!! thank you my love!!

[@Snowcat1313]

I love the helpful info you are producing. I work in an office and I would like to start there for my vintage style as I feel alot of today's stuff makes me feel like I'm dressing up as my mom, lol. But I LOVE the way vintage looks.

[@jeanieschlegel6505]

Great video!!! PLEASE consider doing an Old Navy edition! They carry plus sizes and are also accessible to us Canadians. I was there 3 days ago and scampered out with five new dresses, a skirt, and a blouse that can all be styled vintage. It would be awesome to see what you'd choose there and how you would incorporate them into your wardrobe!

[@NINihilistic]

Hey former target employee here! If you really want to get things for cheap, get friendly with your local target price change member if they still have employees dedicated for that job, i know it varies from location to location. Another thing is that every week the prices goes down for different sections on different days! Womens/young ladies are usually on mondays, kids/infants on tuesday, Wednesday i think is shoes, thursday intimates and friday mens! (Sorry if i got it wrong, idk if its a different schedule for different locations) also don't be afraid to ask an employee to double check the clearance price, it may be lower than what is tagged since it goes down like 15%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and finally 80% if i remember correctly. Also the target app is a good way to see what they have for clearance so you can have a clear idea what's being clearanced out before wasting your time scouring the racks and you dont like anything lol. Hope this helps! -former price change target employee

[@Claudiatulp]

The best thing is Some of the dresses ANC skirts has pockets! That’s the best , and thank you for the idea for the off the shoulder tops, i see them a lot but never tought About wearing them with vintage skirts.

[@chellybelle77]

I'm so glad you showed the green skirt and mention that you're thinking of returning it it's the one thing I really really wanted as soon as I saw it and my 1st thought was I could Hem it. But you're right it's too high in the front and the straps are weird. But the color is so pretty

[@RubysMusings]

Some good finds! I too am adding army green to emerald greens...no forest yet. It's a great neutral. Love the gingham skirt ...been Eyeing it myself, might have to go on Target website. This is the type challenge I have put to myself most of my life...it's always fun to try.

[@charlotl]

This is wonderful! I'm hoping to move my wardrobe in the vintage style direction so this is very helpful!

[@Genevieve0880]

I actually found some vintage sandals at Target! So it's great. Haven't had any luck finding clothes I could put into a vintage outfit, anywhere (or sort of vintage outfit at that.) Which stinks, but oh well.

[@jefrench7783]

That floral off the shoulder top with your skirt is so gorgeous. Now I want to actually go buy something at target.

[@theretroreader]

Lol, I just got a dress at Target for about $20 and it's like a wrap dress which is part of the reason why I got it and it also had cute flowers and is a blush pink. I wore it for my birthday today and am now instantly in love!!

Hi Rachel! Love the video and all the summery looks. I was wondering if you would to a video on dressing vintage in the summer heat. I’m trying to transition my wardrobe to vintage but I’m having a hard time because I live in New Orleans (the humidity capital of Louisiana) and all the vintage-y pieces I own are fall/winter (read thick and plaid). Thanks ❤️ looking forward to the next Nyx video!

[@rachelmaksy]

Thank you for the suggestion! I have a lookbook that shows some of my favorite pieces but I definitely need to do a whole video dedicated to it!

[@LynneWright]

The key to shopping at a Target is using their Cartwheel phone ap. Also you can stack the ap coupons with manufacturer coupons, Target coupons and sales/clearance. It’s work but I save up to 70% shopping there. Love that black off the shoulder top with beige embroidered flowers on you, very flattering.

[@rachelmaksy]

Oh snap!! I've never even heard of that!

[@LynneWright]

The Pinup Companion with clothing when they have clearance, sometimes there is another % off on the Cartwheel.

Same here! It's a lot easier to find pieces at those types of stores for sure! Me too!

[@user-lz7ug5cg9y]

I really enjoyed this video! I wouldn't have guessed the items as they're displayed in the store could look vintage, but when you style them into a full outfit they definitely do -- and they look SO CUTE! Love it! It'd be really cool to see a thrift store haul (not sure if you've done this already, haven't seen all of the videos yet. :) )

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Ooh I loved this challenge! I’m still building my closet up so this helps because I’m scared to buy true vintage I mean i spill a lot! However, are we ever getting a closet tour from you?

I have a heap of those off the shoulder top and never thought about wearing them with a knee length skirt I tend to wear them in a more 60s/ 70s hippy style but omg they looked awesome how you did it and I'm so going to have to find some knee length skirts to wear with them.

Oh my god I love you!! I've followed you on instagram for about a year now and didn't know you did KZbin! Your editing style is great and shows your personality which made me fall in love more!!

[@rachelmaksy]

Heehee thank you lovely!

[@greylarkspur]

I'm so glad you posted! Just got me a cup of peppermint tea and am curled in my favorite glider-rocker with a warm summer breeze floating in, and then you post what I crave most-videos- I didn't know heaven could visit earth:)

[@makenlykay]

this is such a good idea and all these outfits are so cute!!! everyone else can step back the best youtuber is comin through👏🏻👏🏻😆

[@fernsabulsky918]

That second off the shoulder top outfit is so cute! 😍

[@faeriesmak]

Everything was really cute. I totally agree with you on the high low green skirt. That one didn’t really work..even for a modern look.

[@rachelmaksy]

Exactly, it was so weirdly structured!

[@emilygutowski4898]

your style is so inspiring❤and I absolutely love your sense of humor...thanks for making me laugh😂

Frodo is your handsome sidewalk vigilante...all the best people NEED to have a sidewalk vigilante to protect them! I love that you include him in your videos.

[@rachelmaksy]

[@lisamartinez4113]

You're awesome! Your videos are awesome! Frodo is so wonderful. Loving all your stuff! I agree on green skirt.....return. I'm gone try this idea myself, going to go to targhay myself and put together a 1930s look. 👍🎈👍🎈👍🎈

Since I can’t sew yet, but really like vintage fashion, thank you for making thisss.

The best item I found at Target was 2 weeks ago. I got a floral embroidered denim jacket for $18! But other days their prices steer me away lol but this is such a good haul you got sooo many cute pieces!

[@elfprincessplume2515]

Totally loved the olive dress!! What a great haul!

[@rachelmaksy]
