Vintage 1970s Prairie Dress and Gunne Sax Haul | Vintage Clothing Haul + Try On

I have been in a weird hyperfocus of trying to hunt down gunne sax and other similar brands like Candi Jones at good prices and here are the results. In this video I also address how my mental health affects my shopping habits.

It’s normal to be anxious and stressed after being assaulted. Everyone need to focus on something. Recognizing your symptoms and knowing how to handle everything that bothers you is a positive step. Life is a mountain with potholes in the winding road. Talking is great therapy. You will find you are not alone.

[@leannwhite620]

We must be aware to take care. Trauma effects everyone differently. I think you're doing an amazing job of caring for yourself. I can totally relate to traumatic injuries. I used to be embarrassed to talk about it. I realized the event was nothing I could have changed. What I could do was take care of myself and let others know what I was dealing with. The dresses are so cute and fun. If buying a bit more than you usually would, so what? You helped yourself find some joy while dealing with something difficult. GO GIRL! I think you're doing terrific.

[@joecoloff4247]

I was held up at gunpoint at a bus stop near my house, I feel for you and understand how that would effect your mental health. Now on to the dresses, great finds and you looked amazing

[@KatherineYoung]

the 70s silhouettes are so much more my style. I would love to rock all of these!

[@BeverleyButterfly]

You got some lovely pieces I hate what triggered the buying but proud of you for being able to talk about it and that you are starting to feel stronger again xx

[@CosnerCoPiloting]

Keep your head up lady, were here to support you. Assault is terrible and a rough time. You look absolutely gorgeous in all of these dresses. I have a set in the same fabric of the angel sleeve dress in my shop now, its so lovely and lightweight. When you go to sell, you should keep the hems shorter and let the buyer let it down (as a short lady myself I totally struggle with getting long dresses hemmed). Really looking forward to spooky season content!

[@kaytiej8311]

Your first Candy Jones looks fab on you. Take care of yourself. A lapse is not a failure. Its just a moment in time.

[@stacydemeester]

Hopefully you’re not too hard on yourself. You’re incredibly self aware and that’s key to making changes moving forward. We’re not meant to be perfect! ❤

[@elisabethmontegna5412]

I get what you’re saying about consumerism and the potential problems involved in “retail therapy” but from where I’m sitting this feels like a fantastic model of good self care: you had a horrible thing happen and you could have tried to ignore it and let it spiral but instead you are addressing it with therapy and medication management and because you know you sometimes turn to shopping, you have set up your finances responsibly. I find that really admirable!

[@nomorelittlemonkeys]

That must have been so scary! I'm relieved you are okay, and coming through the trauma. I know shopping is not the best for financial reasons, but it is fairly harmless compared to other more destructive ways of dealing with things. You made good investments, and they have value if you decide to get rid of them. you look like a beautiful princess in them all, and that is worth a lot!

[@JanealJohnson]

Oh poor you, hugs. ❤ also buying preloved is a lesser evil in consumerism

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Haley Marie. I loved seeing your haul you got some lovely dresses and a skirt as well. Sorry to hear about what happened I have gone through something similar and it shakes you up. In time you learn to come to terms with it and also learn to live with it too. Take care and becareful.

[@catherineb6565]

I really appreciate your "vomit talk". 💞 your self awareness and willingness to share was gracious and had me reflecting on the link between my MH and purchases the last few weeks. Thanks as I can be more gentle with myself starting today.

[@irenevalbuena6417]

When you twirled in the green sleeveless one you removed the sleeves from you kind of reminded me of a Greek statue ☺️ very pretty! I’m glad you’re doing better about your experience ♥️

[@lynnecurran1787]

Big hugs, we all need to talk about things once in a while.

[@sallyeve4044]

Loved everything, especially the green dress, with tremendous sleeves, even with its impracticality. Im so sorry the awful event happened, but you are incredibly resourceful and self-aware. Thank you for sharing.

[@valliedollx]

All of these look gorgeous on you! Not TMI. Sending love!

[@lz738]

I'm so sorry this happened to you! But try not to feel too bad about over shopping. Of all the ways we cope with anxiety and upset feelings, this one is pretty harmless. I do the same thing (overeat and over shop when I'm anxious) but if I take the long view, I think there are much worse "bad habits" and it's best just to give ourselves a little grace and understanding. Those are some really pretty dresses and wearing things we feel great in is definitely not to be underestimated as a way to boost our moods and self-confidence. It's all okay.

[@yougotmeinstitches1847]

Gday Haley. Thinking of you, nobody should ever have to go through anything like that, hugs 🤗I really appreciate your honesty on everything you choose to tell us, if only everybody was as honest/truthful (with exception for those that find it hard to open up about things that is) 💙You picked u some really beautiful garments 🤩Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡✂🧵🙂

[@michellecornum5856]

I'm sorry for what's happened to you. Scary stuff. Lovely finds, as always.❤

[@lesliejacobs3605]

These are all beautiful dresses and you have the most amazing backdrops. I’m glad you’re doing better and taking care of your mental health ❤

[@chaosbrocade]

So glad you found the Candi Jones dress(es) again; I love that pattern! Also definitely relate to overconsuming when I'm in a bad mental health period. 💜

[@saranatalie13]

I’m so sorry that happened to you Haley. Sending thoughts and care your way ❤

[@sidneybrooks5020]

I was assaulted when I was 5 by the babysitters son. I still remember it and it’s normal but I’m so glad you survived and we will keep surviving ❤️

[@Sybil-wp6qe]

As a Chinese, I almost wear gunnesax style on a daily basis. I used to wear lolita to find my own style, but I finally found it in vintage store.

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I'm so sorry to hear you were assaulted. Sending you hugs! Girl! I'm loving all the dresses you found! Honestly, I don't blame you a bit for treating yourself. Sometimes we just need to do something nice for ourselves. My thing is yarn mostly, but I also love to buy new fabric...however, I am determined to use up the cool fabrics I've collected over the past two decades. I used to work at Joann and Hancock, so...but I'm really feeling inspired to make a lot of my own things. I've done tons of costuming, then took some quilting classes to use all the leftover fabric scraps that were entirely too big to throw away. I did a pattern haul this weekend since McCall's are on sale at Joann right now. :)

[@janetmaffy5375]

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Your self-awareness regarding emotional shopping is really important . I still over shop even though I'm making most of my own clothes, it's now fabric!

[@wendyhutchins945]

There are much worse habits to have! :)

[@katwitanruna]

A few of those I’d use for patterns. Mmmmm sleeves.

[@marathorne6821]

So sorry you had such a horrible experience, wishing you peace and calm 😊 Happy sewing!

[@dianemontavon5670]

God Bless your heart. So sorry to hear of your assult and all the crazy things that have happened lately. I just found your channel. I subscribed. I love the purple/white dress you bought for 70. The light green one that you took off the sleeves is adorable. The lace dress (light pink) love, love, love it. The non gunny sack dress with the big sleeves WOW..love those sleeves. All of the dresses are beautiful

[@debraanneclark2188]

Loved the haul and they looked great on you I can see why you like them so much. I am same when I am having a low period with my mental health I buy stuff for my pyrography or jewellery making as when I am doing either of them they distract me from my intrusive thoughts.

[@bethknapp4935]

I am so sorry that happened to you. 😢. Thank you for trusting us with your story. I have the same issue with trauma and trying to overcome it with shopping. I had a cancer diagnosis last February, and I found myself needing to have packages coming to make me feel happy. The cancer was resolved in June, but unfortunately a new tumor has been found. I just had it removed yesterday, and will hear next week the result, but again, I'm perusing online needing that shopping endorphin hit. I really hate that you had to go through something so terrible, and I am hoping with my whole heart that you are ok. The dresses are gorgeous, and you look gorgeous in all of them. Please don't feel bad about trying to make yourself happy after such a traumatic event. You are not alone in that. I'm sending you love and many hugs and "Boops" to baby Spooky girl. ❤

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

I am hoping the new tumor is easy to treat, and that you can return to full health soon. Cancer is super tough I don't think there is a single person who goes untouched by it in their life. I'll be thinking of you!

[@bethknapp4935]

@HaleyMarieVintage Thank you sweetie, I appreciate you.

[@rodentary]

Never feel bad for being human. U sew alot and loving a brand is not a bad thing. Im glad ur getting all the help u need and am sending love and protection ❤

[@BiankaBowman]

I’m sorry you went through that. All of them were amazing

[@kellynelson3186]

Sorry to hear you've had a rough time of it recently. Thanks for sharing your perspective and I hope your gains continue to come❤

[@Rotten_Ralph]

Having multiple traumatic events in a relatively short time frame definitely messes with your mental health. I hope you keep your trajectory positive for the future. Positive vibes only.

[@emmy8526]

I’m sorry that someone committed an assault against you. That’s awful and arduous to recover from. Very difficult to keep going to work, doing your sewing and your social media work during all that. Please take time to rest and let your nervous system reset also! Wishing you well!

[@angiesmith3489]

Ugh, I’m so sorry all that shit happened to you. Especially back to back. It’s so hard to recover from traumatic events and setbacks in general, but I feel like it’s a slower process still as a neurospicy. ❤

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Luckily I've actually recovered really well because I already had a great support system in place!

[@lizmarin9568]

They are all stunning! My favorite is the all white and the one that came in pink!!

[@joannaerhardt7294]

I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better. 🙂💖💖

[@katwitanruna]

On the one too tight in the bust, if you can loosen the lacing then you can wear a chemise top under it.

[@felinetherapy4782]

The green one with the huge sleeves looks amazing on you! Stay strong.

[@RoseDoes]

Thank you so much for sharing your mental health journey and how it impacts your consumption. I feel this so hard. Had some health issues and work stuff and bought way too much fabric, patterns and junk food the last couple of weeks.

[@user-wl8rr7wb4y]

OUCH. I'm so sorry for you. I hope you recover 😢. As for the dress with the red maybe you trace it and remaking it to your liking. I am not a fan of true red myself either. The color red reminds me of violence. Take care and be safe. I hope to see you safe and sound🧸🍵🍩.

[@catherineb6565]

Oh and I liked the haul! LOL Red and blue one was my fav. 😁

[@esthermarcen7587]

speak about mental health is good because normalize the situation, everyone suffers at some point in life, the green dresses are beautiful on you

[@newcreature222]

Public transportation is rough especially for women it’s literally a cesspool for sexual monsters 👹 , I’m sorry that that happened to you, among other things you such a amazing person send you peace and blessings and restoration to you , Godbless

[@lenorebjork2763]

💗💗💗

[@maryeller2379]

It's good to talk it out, holding it in is not beneficial to your health. Loved the dresses. I wish I had saved mine.😢

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I'm so sorry! That's awful!!! ❤❤❤

[@garbtheater]

Hope you are doing better. All of these dresses are amazing. Pure curiosity (as someone currently learning to sew their own wardrobe), about how many dresses do you typically keep in your wardrobe?

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

LOL this question is a good one, I generally hover around 120 (which is overwhelming and way too many), but would say have about 30 that I wear and are always in rotation!

[@alekdog2694]

🌅❤️👗👸💐

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

I stress buy Barbies
