Happy Wearing What I Wear

One of the things I have learned through the years as a vintage blogger is that you should wear what you what you love. Whether its true vintage from head to toe, reproduction vintage, or retro inspired fashion, whatever makes you feel comfortable and good is what you should be wearing. In the past eleven years as a blogger I have gone from true vintage to reproduction to retro inspired. I love wearing vintage but pieces in the style I like are harder to come by these days. Some days I might wear reproduction with vintage accessories and other days retro inspired pieces from head to toe. 

One thing is for sure, I am happy wearing what I wear. When I first started as a vintage blogger I felt a lot of pressure to look like I came out of a 1940's movie. I tried all the decades and eventually found that I feel most comfortable wearing 1950's and 1960's pieces (although my heart will always be with the 1940's and 1970's for nostalgic reasons). 

The gist of this post is where what makes you feel good and happy. At the end of the days it's just clothes and it should serve its purpose which is to decorate your body and make you feel good.

Here are some posts that may inspire you to reach your personal style goals:

  1. This post hits very close to home. I have certainly felt the same pressures you mentioned here, I also felt a need to get my hands on the most rare items, especially novelty prints, to try and have that one photo that made me explode on the scene. And then I also felt the hurt when I did wear more of what I liked, only to not have it well received, or at least, fall into the "zero comment" area.

    I'm so glad you are at this place, and sharing it with us. Thank you.
