My Favorite Vintage Outfits of the Year!

LOL, poor doggo. He's trying so hard to make fetch happen...♡

[@rachelmaksy]

HAHA omg wow that was the best placed Mean Girls quote I've ever read 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MrsRebellion]

You couldn't have made fetch happen any better

THROW

[@el-zs4mh]

Just gotta say, I’m loving the fact that we’ve gotten so many more vids lately. My feed is blessed with your content

[@rachelmaksy]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@olwendavis327]

As are all our feeds with those wise enough to watch Mrs Maksy.

[@AmyFaith]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS!! So many videos. #blessed

[@audrieguite1641]

elise ivy I agree!!

[@finawatsonart]

The "Tweedish" outfit says land Girl to me. My grandmother caused a bit of a scandal in her village in WW2 by starting to wear breeches while driving the milk float. A woman in trousers - shock horror!

[@rachelmaksy]

Omg that's amazing :')

[@teresacarle294]

It is a rather fetching outfit! 🖤 your 🌱Land Girl🌾 reference! Your gran was a maverick!👍 📸 Have snaps of my momma in black pedal pushers as a teen w/her Audrey Hepburn pixie cut. Once wed, she never wore pants. She'd wear dresses & pearls to do 🏡house-cleaning! In her more casual clothes, she always looked 💐pretty as a pin. Of course, she would get 👄glammed💄up for nights out w/my pops. Looking her best at all times through-out her life was important. As I discovered, that sort of thing takes tremendous planning, discipline & commitment. Used to follow her example more, but lockdown has me loitering about in jammies. 👀Nothing to see here! ☀️Living in such a hot climate, I envy you folks that can routinely don the tweeds & heavier woven menswear fabrics too. If I'm lucky, there will be 1 or 2 days of year ❄chilly❄ enough where I can stand my lovely pair of lined black wool trousers. ☺

I can unfortunately relate to the people giving you looks thing. I went to go see Crimes of Grindlewald with my sister when it came out and we were both wearing vintage Hufflepuff scarves that I had knitted bc I love Harry Potter very much. I went into the bathroom and these two girls about my age were just glancing at me in a way that they thought was discreet and when they left the bathroom, I could hear them laughing through the other side of the door. Sure, this hurt me a little but once I got outside and saw my sister smiling at me, I felt better. It's sad that some humans are awful, but I'm glad that I have people around me to support me and make me feel like I belong. I would say to just forget about them Rachel, if they don't have anything that makes them as happy as your clothing does to you or my scarves do for me, then it's just sad for them. Love you honey 💕

[@hotjanuary]

Gali Alvarez-Quepons, the fact that they were that obsessed with your outfit which didn’t appeal to them means they have no life. A regular person ignores what doesn’t attract them and surrounds themselves with their likes and hobbies. They have no interest in making rude side commentary about interests that deviate from theirs because they feel they have better things to do with their time. You have to wonder how vapid their lives are.

[@pompom4458]

I bet you two were the coolest people watching the movie that time! Also, Crimes of Grindewald and vintage clothing go hand in hand, lovely 💕

[@maria.99]

@@pompom4458 thank you! And yes, i made the scarves bc i personally think the vintage version is cuter than the modern one and my sister and i love Newt so much so it was like we were his fan club. Lol i think she and i were some of the only ones in the theater that day. Idk why but it wasn't really busy, i remember a guy walking in late and leaving 10 mins later

[@ziyanda_theartist]

They were probably jealous, I know I would have been, and the fact that you made them is even more impressive!!! I love Newt and I'm a Hufflepuff, if I was there, I'd wish to join you!! XD

[@pegaseg70]

Keep on rocking!

[@ScreechTheMighty]

Honestly, I need to incorporate more vintage librarian looks into my closet. It's such a great aesthetic. Also, these outfits are Fab.

[@laurabrooks8824]

One of my favorite looks too!

[@helenalahovets128]

Love Frodo, he just has to be in every single video, adorable 😁 You are fabulous, as always

[@angelbelle717]

The Rita Hayworth hair flip was perfection 👌

[@aestheticallyaspiring2692]

Omg the Rita hair flip recreation😍🙌 Btw you have so many 80s references in your videos. Have you ever thought about doing an 80s video?

[@stevengillespie8629]

Dear Ms. Maksy, a pale complexion, red hair and forest green are a mighty combination. Also, may I say, the Gilda hair flip caused me some injury and my desk chair will need repair. Very funny and creative as always. Well done!

[@angies3057]

I pray your desk gets well soon 😂

[@sarahmiddelburg7964]

If you added trousers to the 2nd outfit instead of a skirt, you'd look like a genuine member of the 1940s Womens Land Army a.k.a the Land Girls

[@rachelmaksy]

Totally!!!

[@katiehess1752]

Omg both love and hate that show 😂. I love watching it but hate myself when I do 😂😂😂

[@wickedspell85]

Been wanting to watch land girls!!

[@toadflaxflower]

Watching your old 2019 videos, all i can think is 'you poor sweet sunflower seed, so innocent and able to frolic through large crowds'

[@kristenbyron7229]

I work at Hot Topic and we recently went through our super old back stocked stuff and there was SO MUCH OUTLANDER OLD STOCK. I purchased the green, knit, button down poncho thing and omg that whole line is everything. We still have so much of it and I’m gonna end up buying it all if no one else buys it.

[@lizbogonia]

Does anyone have tips on making the suspenders stay in the right place, cause i have a reasonable chest and I either end up with )( or ( )

[@rachelmaksy]

YUP 😂😂😂

[@ZombieNaziSS]

Some sort of fabric tape?

[@rachelmaksy]

Yeah fabric tape might work! I still haven't figured it out unfortunately 🙈

[@myabella7104]

I just let them lay like ( ) cause I don't care, and I still think there cute

[@finawatsonart]

As n E cup I know that problem well. Never have found a solution.

[@roy-honorecarole3460]

I think I've already said it a million times but you're my main fashion inspiration ever since I got into a more vintage/alternative style. You're halfway between a hobbitish and a badass pin-up style and GURL THIS IS WHAT WE WANT IN LIFE. ❤️❤️❤️👌👌

[@kaitlynroberts5027]

Loved these outfits! Also was really excited to see the Outlander top! Love that show! Honestly I appreciate people who wear uncommon clothing/style etc SO MUCH! Because so many people do get stuck in the shirt and jeans casual, or all dress alike in the current fashion trends. It's nice to see people who dare to stand out! Takes more gutts, more creativity etc etc. Not saying there aren't other ways to express creativity and that dressing "normal" means you aren't. But when you dress outside the box, you have to think outside the box to make things work.

[@autumnbranscome1741]

I love that first summer outfit! It reminds me of fresh strawberries for some odd reason 🍓

[@rachelmaksy]

❤️😊😊😊😊

[@jetta.silence6356]

the mourning blouse is so amazing! I cant believe what good shape its in. Those ladies would stay in mourning attire for several years depending. Queen Victoria started that whole trend and it became almost a must do. Now that would be awesome as a Halloween costume.

[@TheRealeLiana]

The vintage librarian outfit could pass of as a Cinderella disneybound!

[@blastedgoat]

Yes, the Rachel sassy glare needs a video so I can send it to people! Love these outfits. We all want to be vintage librarians deep down, right?

[@calicolyon]

Love the coat from the movie night!

[@mikaelalafave2532]

The Face Awards finale dress reminds me so much of Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas at the Pink Pony, and I love it.

[@Elemiriel]

*Carousel Club?

[@mikaelalafave2532]

@@Elemiriel Yes, omygosh thank you. I was writing this comment at like eleven at night and completely blanking on the name!

[@shannovi4565]

I love the progression in style from Agent Carter to Poldark. You look like a fancy feast in just about any era.

[@chibiloki]

The studious 40's look gives me life. Also forest green.

[@TheLaurenKat]

The photo frame on the cutways to show the outfits is a really nice touch. The extra time spent editing is noticeable 👍👍

[@shonajane17]

Love the Outlander top. It's making me want to give Outlander a try. I've avoided it because, as a Scot, I've been burnt too many times by terrible American representations of Scotland. Plus, the lead woman is English, they never make the lead in these shows/films a Scottish woman. But, gah, the 18th century fashion 😍😍 It's on my bucket list to dress up in a full, proper 18th century dress repro (original would be impossible and too scary). Speaking of, have you seen The Favourite, Rachel? It's so good, and the dresses are so beautiful.

[@sloanemeyer1606]

Really LOVING the lip synch / movie moments. Please make that a thing! So fun. ❤ Nice video. 👍Hi Frodo!

[@britischenadligen3760]

Love you as Gilda hehe! Also, the best thing about these outfits is that they are wearable and classy at the same time, which is, honestly, sometimes hard to blend! You're an inspiration 😍🧡

[@rachelmaksy]

Ahh thank you so so much!!!

[@poppyren8609]

That Rita recreation/ reference was gorgeous♥

[@marutaalfacinha7042]

Loved it!! I wish you could make a video with some suggestions about buying vintage stuff from Etsy, EBay and Amazon (specially for your European subscribers; something like accurate English expressions or words, prices, etc 😉) kisses from Portugal! 😘❤️

[@whodapole]

I love this top that you're wearing! And the Outlander shirt... It is my dream to have many 'wench' tops and vests

[@justsomerabia8480]

Hi Rachel. I love your channel and your personality. I wanted to say that you not only look great in the vintage clothes, but it’s also a wonderful secondary effect how it’s good for the environment because you are reusing something instead of letting it go to waste.

[@carolhanson3198]

Best wardrobe ever.

[@camposlucie3707]

You're such a fashion inspiration of mine!! I learn so much from these kind of video 😭

[@sydney9495]

Campos Lucie ikr! She's wardrobe goals😍 I live in a very warm humid climate so I hate that I can't wear 75% of all these outfits without attracting even more attention from already dressing vintage😭😆

[@s28289]

I personally really love seeing what I would consider wearable outfits! Bring all the forest green, creams, and browns! It’s got me scheming up some new work outfits!

[@savi7171]

I love these types of videos because your style is what really inspired me to want to start dressing vintage. I used to be put off by the vintage styles I often saw on social media because they were either the brightly colored and full of bold patterns look or the more trendy pastel and cutesy look. I have nothing against those styles, but they never suited me. Your earthy sophisticated semi-simplistic style really appeals to me and makes me excited to continue building up my own vintage wardrobe.

[@adadadad42]

NEVER HAVE I CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST

[@rachelmaksy]

😊❤️❤️❤️

[@olwendavis327]

I wish I had I love these outfits

[@colemyst]

I love that you have retro, romantic, fantasy style. It makes what you wear interesting and amazing. The dull, uninspired sheep of the present might never get it but it's their loss.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Great video! I used to do favorite-outfits-of-the-year posts on my blog, but I had never thought of doing the same as a video and it works so well. Also, the collar on the blouse you have on here is just too stunning, so beautiful!

[@lauranaspeer5008]

The last time I went to a store in something weird, I had on prosthetic elf ears and a Renaissance style dress, and I got a teenage girl come up to me and fangirl because I looked like Arwen. I thought she was going to start crying. I also made a five or six year olds dreams come true. Walmart is great.

[@mistresslara]

You gotta respect a strong colour palate!! LOVED the Rita hair flip (both versions!!!). Thanks for all the outfit inspiration (as per usual).

[@nicolequinones1774]

I'm not sure how often you rewatch older videos but its really amazing how much of your "wishes/hopes" have come true!

[@devathepinup]

I loved your finale gown! I barely ever dressed up last year, I tend to default to "regular" clothes, jeans and t-shirts, for many reasons, but I want to keep pushing my wardrobe toward vintage-inspired looks more often. It's way more fun to dress that way. I also really like the detail on the collar of the outfit you're wearing here! So pretty!

[@richtreehugger]

"What would Evie wear?" & "wool, linen, corduroy" is my style too! I have a serious Ralph Lauren vintage fetish. Especially the old Rugby line. If you want to dream a little, check out RRL catalog pics.

[@rachelmaksy]

Omg SAME! I haven't looked at the catalogues yet I gotta do that 😍

[@yaynoniponi]

That Ravenclaw outfit is SO COOL!!! I seriously love it

[@TheMuffinpumperkale]

You’re actually helping me through depression right now. You deserve every prize you win. Thank you.

[@kaitycameleonshea8067]

Could you post a video about how some strangers react to your style of dress. Both negative and positive? The little rant in this video was greate. Though I'm sure at the time it didn't feel funny at all.

[@hotjanuary]

KaityCameleon Shea, as someone who loves floor length styles of the 1700s-1800s, I wonder this too. I’m trying to collect enough courage but I worry I’ll look like I’m in a pseudo period costume and become the local outcast for straying too far from “acceptable” fashion.

[@Sarah-oy1ii]

That would be really interesting

[@veganvintagegeek935]

@@hotjanuary Do it any way. Once I started dressing vintage the staring was to much for me at first. I stared back and I got mad at some people. And I live in the very urban side of Chicago and use public transportation all the time. Then I realized how stupid I was acting and learned that I will never ever have the power to change people, and finally let the looks go. And also once I quit looking at people to see their reactions it actually stopped bothering me so much. Now when people react to my dressing vintage (1940s-1950s) I get nice comments, even at work. The ladies at work tell me they look forward to seeing what outfit(s) I've put together, and it cheers up their day. And the great thing about dressing vintage is its a total ice breaker, and it has also boosted my confidence. I use to be so shy and meek, nope not anymore.

[@hotjanuary]

VeganVintageGeek, what about medieval? I just learned my favourite style is from that era: goo.gl/images/VMGX6g goo.gl/images/1djvyf goo.gl/images/oErfDM And the Celtic medieval: goo.gl/images/pMDqiL (just not in this white colour) goo.gl/images/6Gi3wi Those long sleeves only look balanced with a floor-at least foot length dress. And I love floor length gowns... At least with mid 20th century vintage, you can kind of get away with it as it’s not that long ago. I don’t know how I’m going to get away with looking like I stepped off of a medieval cover novel. Or as I’m just learning from the internet, these dresses fall into elven fantasy cosplay. And here I am wanting to this to be my everyday look.

[@hotjanuary]

Alison Stitt, thank you very much for the link. I will look the the website carefully.

[@victoriakarolynhoff]

You’re such an inspiration honestly ♥️

[@brittanyprice4152]

If it's any consolation, I've been extremely happy since you left your job because it meant I got to see more of you!! You're doing amazing!! Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@joanieprice664]

Oh my GOSH Rachel! My favorite outfit of all time is the one Meryl Streep wore when she got married in "Out Of Africa". Make an outfit like that! It would look awesome on you!

[@lauramcguire7970]

I love your colour scheme. I love pastels and bright colours but you’re inspiring me to look for more natural tones.

[@desiraegarcia8015]

It's hard to say what my favorite outfits from you are since all of them are so unique and you can't help but stare and admire! I loved your Rita Hayworth Gilda dress. I knew instantly it was Rita inspired. 😍😍😍🤩

Upon rewatching (I should be doing uni stuff) I fell in love with the outlander top again. Currenntly cry laughing, because I also found it on ebay, in my size, shipping from not half the world away. Sometimes you really do get lucky. And now off to my film analysis so I don't fail my class.

[@reggaeful]

Omg you as Gilda... You are so radiant!! I love that gown on you! :)

[@ammiemgk23]

Finally had the chance to watch this vid and I wasn't disappointed. I love all your outfits and how you incorporate vintage with newer pieces. I wish I could dress more vintage but I work in a preschool so I can't. I can't wait to see how you incorporate more vintage into your wardrobe. PS I would say hide Frodo's squeaky toys before you film but it's too cute & funny to watch him squeak them lol

[@Lauren_Helene]

I always love watching these kind of vids (mostly cuz I have no confidence to wear vintage) but I love looking at vintage clothes and wondering who wore it before.

[@Tinkerkells]

Omg how I love you and your pets. It seems like they all wanted your attention in this one. I love all your outfits this past year. My fave color is green. So when you would wear green i would get super excited. Evie is the reason why I follow you hard core because i love Rachael Weiz and her character. I just love the whole first 2 MUMMY movies. She rocks

Favorite of your outfits from 2018- yes

[@agnesl.5294]

Needless to state that I generally enjoy and love your videos, style, character AND FRODO (one of the most adorable dogs and "dog personas" ever); but finding out that your awards gown was bought from Etsy and adjusted by yourself is really delightful (I assumed you were "equipped" by the organisers)!

So much content, we’re not worthy! But seriously though, last year I finally started doing vintage again (had done late 60’s hippie back in 2008, 2009, then proceeded to attempt 50’s in university, and failed majestically because: 1) no money, and 2) no freaking clue.

If you get into the sewing bug. Laughing moon has some amazing vintage patterns that you may enjoy. They have a woman's trousers pattern from I believe about 1940's. I am going to be working on them soon.
