Hello My Lovelies,
I've been thinking a lot about the gaps in my wardrobe and what's no longer working for me sartorially. So I've put together this simple Vintage Utility capsule collection that is really resonating with me. Inspired by the 1930's and vintage French workwear and a lovely visit to the beautiful Sunless Antiques for inspiration, I can't wait to try out some of these sewing projects!

Wow! I love so much inspiration.

[@lis6411]

I am drooling!! I love your style and this capsule is an absolute dream. I am only an advanced beginner sewist, but you are inspiring me to be the best I can be. Sewing your own clothes is so empowering. Thank you for sharing your vision and process!

[@blufaerie]

Your videos are always so inspiring! ❤

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you ~ that's so lovely to hear!

[@michelemilne9612]

Even though I live thousands of miles away, I am really inspired by your visit to "Sunless Antiques". I love the skirt too and agree that fabrics change the look completely. I enjoyed hearing your inspiring musings. You look great in your jumpsuit. 🌷

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you Lovely! So glad you enjoyed this and I really appreciate your kind feedback!

[@robyn3349]

Thank you!

[@claire5951]

Thank you for this vlog Tara. I found the way you put your capsule wardrobe together really helpful, as I often struggle with this. I thought the combination of the Shepard skirt and Factory top was very reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

[@TaraDeighton]

I'm so glad you found this helpful as it was so helpful for me too! And you're totally right about the Shepherd Skirt and Factory top being like Audrey Hepburn's Roman Holiday outfit ~ a favourite of mine!

[@Anisiya13]

I am very tempted by the Omilie dress… Thank you for sharing your process and ideas with us ❤

[@TaraDeighton]

Such a pleasure and do let me know if you sew Omilie ~ I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[@angelawilliams8322]

My goodness Tara, what a lot of work you put into this. I really appreciated your capsule wardrobe …love love love all the components and want to make them all 😂…..have the Shepherd skirt on my radar already and have a lovely green linen ready to make it up. This collection is totally inspiring as the 30s is also my favorite decade for fashion. Thank you so much for feeding that passion!

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you for your very kind words and feedback! A shepherd skirt in green sounds lovely ~ must add a green version to the list!

[@killerkitschvintagelizzie]

This inspires me to finally get my wardrobe audit done and continue to build and be more serious about a capsule wardrobe. Xx

[@TaraDeighton]

Do it!!!!

[@mikea75201]

I’m just learning to sew (I’m actually going to start stitching together my first project today), and want to construct my own vintage inspired capsule wardrobe. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@TaraDeighton]

How exciting to be starting your sewing adventures! Good luck and let me know how it goes!

[@natalieduffy387]

Lovely concepts ❤ can’t wait to see your makes 😊

[@thisbettieluvsflower]

Another wonderful film of inspiration. The metallic lightwright fabric... chef's kiss!! All the inspiration please. Oh and I'm loving the artist connection concept. Looking forward to seeing it unfold.

[@TaraDeighton]

That's so lovely of you! Thank you for such lovely feedback!

[@mrs.schultz8882]

You have just filled my bucket Tara!!! Thank you! 🖤💖😊

[@TaraDeighton]

Ah that's so lovely to hear! Thank you!

[@LPAL1705]

Hi Tara will hopefully be going to Sunless in the next week you are an inspiration your neighbour in Eastbourne.

[@TaraDeighton]

Oh that's lovely to hear! Have a wonderful time!

[@michellelockett6518]

Please could you tell us the lovely nail polish and lipstick you are wearing ❤x

[@TaraDeighton]

Of course! I'm wearing MACs Ruby Woo and I get my nails done with a gel finish to match at a local salon. I think they use a shade called Bright Scarlet?
