Back when I was 15 or 16 (around the late 2000’s) I remember one night I was sitting in a local coffee shop waiting for a friend to get off from work when two older ladies came through the door. They must have been in their 60’s or 70’s but they were dressed head to toe in British 1910’s fashion. My jaw hit the floor as they both strode so casually and confidently in what I thought was the most stylish outfits I had ever seen. It was as though they had just popped out of Mary Poppins with the boots, the coats, the button down vests, everything. I still think of those two ladies to this day as the prettiest women I have ever seen in my life and I wish that when I am old I can wear my choice fashion just as beautifully and confidently as they did. No matter what you’re wearing or decade it’s from, so long as you feel good in it you’re beautiful!
Hey, with your 70’s clothes that you made, you could use them in a future “Disney princesses but make it vintage” video. Very entertaining video as always, you have an amazing and engaging personality and you are so beautiful ❤️
Yeah we didn't get to see it for very long but it looked kinda 40s-50s to me, very summery. If the pants were shorts it would def look like a 50s playsuit beach outfit thing.
"I don't have a lot of patience for make-up" - Rachel Maksy, Nyx Face Awards winner. 😬 Definitely loved 1910s the best, that waistcoat is the businessssss 😙 👌 Also jealous you have an actual tea shop in your actual cute-af town.
1:32 "I'm just, I don't really have a style." I've found the more I try to replicate a specific aesthetic the less I enjoy what I wear. The more I dress in what I like, the more my actual look emerges. Your style exists. Just because someone else hasn't slapped a label on it is irrelevant. You do you.
Exactly! And the thing is no matter how random your outfit choices are, there will always be something to them that makes them you. My outfits can go from always gothic to 50s inspired to rainbow everything, and my friends will still tell me I have a personal style :)
TLDR: I agree! Oh my god I was literally getting dressed ten minutes ago and I would put something on and I’d be like “I like it… but it’s not cottegecore” and I’d take it off. It took me 1 hour of getting dressed to realize a. I just don’t have that kind of wardrobe yet and b. Labeling my wardrobe as a certain aesthetic REALLY limits myself as opposed to simply saying “I just really like this sweater and those pants :)”. It’s great to look at these aesthetics AT FIRST when first redesigning your style but you need to get to a point where you now know what you like and just start wearing chorus’s without strict labels. Like Rachel started out with straight up vintage but as she got older and experimented more with clothes, she is just wearing what she likes which happens to take inspo from vintage styles (trousers, long a-line skirts, puff sleeve tops, etc.). Rachel Maksy is my #1 style icon but I am now sprinkling in little aspects of me into my wardrobe mainly with color like wearing multi color sweaters or very bright colored dresses. Sorry this is long I just have a lot to say :)
I was at a grocery store in full lacy Edwardian attire (hat included) and this little girl behind me said, "Mom, why is that girl so pretty?" and I turned around and said hello. We talked, introduced ourselves, and even saw each other later in the store. She said "hi Sarah!" and I said "Hi, B!" (not saying her first name just in case. You never know). It was the cutest thing ever 😍
I've had similar things happen to me when I wear my historically inspired clothing and hat, or when I decorate my hair with ribbons, braids, dreads and beads. There has been the odd weird look, but the vast, vast majority (at least 90%) of reactions have all been smiles and compliments! Dressing the way I love honestly gives me the kind of confidence almost nothing else does. It's bringing my inner creativity to the outside, like its own type of art.
The 1910’s was beautiful! I would love to see a “ The Mummy” cosplay outfit with that. I feel like Evie would wear something similar to that. The 1920’s with the vest was my favorite outfit of the selections for that era.
OMG - that '60's look was real '60's! I was a little girl, but that so reminds me of family pictures from that time! Well done! And I love that you and Nick went to that tea shop together. Lovely!
Unexpectedly loved the 60s outfit - prior to watching, I was most looking forward to the 70s look, but *adored* the 60s vibes so much. 1910s was also iconic, but in such a different way.
The 60s outfit made me think of an era TV show maybe a young female crime solver or the like. But I agree the 1910 look was the best look overall. Again maybe an era TV show a crime solving librarian or museum curator. Vintage placed shows have taken over my brain.
The 70s made me realize how badly I want to see you do 80s-2020s because I've never seen you in non-vintagey clothes??? It was so interesting??? Also I LOVE you in yellow eyeshadow, its a vibe 💛 ✨
I love how each of your chosen eras brings a character to mind! Pioneering school teacher shaping young minds in the American midwest, archaeologist causing uproar in the stuffy old Egyptology society between digs, plucky chorus line dancer waiting for her big break, sassy bobbysoxer, leading lady in an MGM musical, 60s pop sensation, 70s actress style icon.. fabulous!
"As I get older I don't have a style." Don't sell yourself short Rachel! Occasionally on pinterest I see an image of an outfit and can immediately tell it's you even though the face is cropped out (what's that about, Pinterest?) because your style is so iconicly you!
As a beauty I am not a star There are others more handsome by far But my face, I don't mind it For I am behind it It's the people out front that I jar.
Waiting for my husband to get out of a surgery that was only supposed to last an hour and is now on hour 6 and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the pure happiness your videos bring me! Thank you for being you and helping me escape my anxiety for a while! 💚💚💚
I've been making some 30's and 40's patterns and the instructions really do be like that 😅 it's like well yes, you're a women and you've been trained to sew your entire life so you got this!
That's just the thing, though, isn't it? Women were taught how to sew, and knew what order tossed the parts and how to put them together. When we lost that, I don't know.
@@kathyl6677 When the average person stopped deeming sewing as a necessity. Imo, everybody should at least know how to mend a hole or sew a patch into their clothes/bags. I don’t see an overabundant need for the average person to know too much about sewing.
I love the 50s! I love the dresses and the curly hairstyles. I usually add my own punk twist with a dark denim jacket, combat boots, and choker. I get tons of compliments and feel most confident.
I actually could swear she was setting up to cosplay Natalie Portman's character in The Professional. It is amazing for some accidental wig mistreatment.
Rachel I would just like you to know how much you’ve done for me. I suffer with chronic stomach pain and am basically always in pain. But when it’s a really bad day or if I can’t sleep because of pain or ✨frowing up✨ watching your videos makes me feel so much better. Just being able to relax and listen to your soothing voice or your dumb movie quotes, it makes feel at peace. So thank you for being such a presence in my life❤️
Being someone who also has a chronic illness, I'm in total agreement. I hope your good days happen in multiples, and your bad days come with your chosen pharmaceutical management so they pass quickly. That said, I too have been trying to cultivate YT creators that are just relaxing. No (overt) politics. No inter-channel drama. Things that aren't quite "just a vlog" but it's their channel focus AND sprinkled with what actually feels like a real day for them. I've got a couple of these that are just "there" and while I might be more than familiar with some of the things they're doing, I'm learning a bit AND laughing a little too. They don't say it's the best medicine for nothing.
"I don't have enough patience for make-up", says the woman who turned herself green for the Vintage Creature of the Black Lagoon! And where did you get the vest for the 1910's? Its awesome!
The 1910 outfit was the cutest and It still surprises me how much fashion changed in just a decade, from 1910 to '20. But OMG! I completely fell in love with this Groovie Rachel from '60 ~ '70!!! They made you look so young, like college student young hahaha. So cute!💕
Her 1910 outfit was more like 1900, in 1910 fashion was actually like something really between 1900 and 1920 so it isn't so surprising when you look closer at it :D
The 60s are such a difficult era to distill, because common fashion had at least three different sub-eras and high fashion was experimental without being too ostentatious. What you came up with worked pretty well, gave off a mid-60s youth culture vibe.
Fashion steals from previous decades CONSTANTLY. I'm still waiting for the next 40s vibe to hit shops again so I might be able to buy something off the hanger that mayyyyybe fits my shape.
"I want to wear this, and only this, for..." "...the actual rest of my life!" You looked pretty great, and you definitely seemed happier than usual, x....5! So go for it!!
Alternate title: Rachel finds the outfit she'd want to wear for all eternity if she were a ghost...I love that $200 tank top and the Betty Boop 1930s hair was adorable.
Pretty great content, Rachel! The 1970’s outfit was pretty spot on. I had “granny boots” like those that I wore with fishnet tights, orange, faux suede hot pants, and a skinny tank top. Stylin! 🕺🏽💃🏼
So, the “ Lad that loves berries and cream” reference was such a wild epiphany, I was literally watching that commercial about a week ago after an out of character binge watching spree of commercials by decade. I can’t believe that reference came up! As always, love your work~
50's fashion will forever be one of my favorite eras and that is soley because of Teddy Girl Fashion. Its so cute and fun and makes me feel so gender, j'adore!!!
All of these were so cute!!! The 10's made me happy because of your energy! The 20's were cute because you picked the part of it you loved. There's more to the 20's than flapper dresses. The 30's had that sweet moment that an older man said you remind him of an even older man! The 40's was so sweet and so cute!!! The 50's was great to hear how your tastes started and change. The 60's was such an adorable look! When you put your hair up in a pony tail I was like oh yes! (Kinda thought you were going to try out your Austin Powers glasses with it! ) And the 70's was just so you. When I saw it I was surprised you wanted to make something else because that jumpsuit was too cute! Thank you for this super fun video!!!
1910's always holds a special place in my heart (everyone always looks SO good in it!) But all of these outfits were awesome! Thanks for taking us on your journey!!
As someone who also likes dressing up and making costumes I LOVE the 1910's!!! I was in high school in the early 1970s and can tell you straight hair and empire waist dresses were very vogue,
😆 Does it feel really weird to see people trying to copy all the styles that were everyday wear for you at the time...? Some of them like the 1960s even seem to come round repeatedly as actual recycled fashion trends... Anybody who hung onto their bellbottoms (AND could somehow still fit them) could've gotten at least a couple of fashion cycles' worth of reuse out of them by now, I'm certain!
@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 No not weird at all.Back then I wore mostly what I found comfortable. I made my own bell bottoms out of jeans. But I would not call me a fashion plate.I love what Rachel does and feel that all young people need to learn to sew cause it is an important way to recycle!
can't pick a fav - they're all fabulous. get that you didn't have time, but I'll bet giving the wig a rinse will do wonders for getting it back into shape.
Strong Anne of Green Gables teacher vibes on that 1910's look! Also: for any other real hair wigs that need a bit of TLC, a garment steamer will do wonders. Just don't... steam while wearing it :P
I'm currently in the process of binging all of your videos. They're all so feel good and nice to just put on while doing chores or studying for my millions of exams that I have coming up sooner than I'd like. thank you for being such a source of joy and relaxation.
I feel like it’s cute that your blindside is 1920s and 30s despite you legit killing it on both. I feel like my fav 2 decades are the 20s and 50s despite dressing like I’m a 9 year old or I just stepped out of the 70s on a regular basis
Rachel makes this look like so much fun to do, I honestly feel like I would have had a blast doing things with her literally for a whole week. Call it a multi decade sleep over
18:35 I wear European folk-inspired outfits out in the world pretty much all the time, and I had a Romanian guy approach me once, saying, "You look like an old woman from the village I grew up in!" 10/10 Amazing compliment 💖
As soon as you explained how to do the Gibson bun, I immediately ran to my bathroom to give it a shot. I have to thank you so much for that instruction (and your Edwardian outfit is LIFE)
I’ve always been such a bullet bra sceptic but your teetahs looked amazing! The shape totally worked with the dress (In the least creepy strictly admiring way possible) :D
As a concept they definitely have a lot of WTF vibe for me too 😂 But the thing is, the clothes of the era were built to hang over that shape! So I guess it's just the usual case of vintage under-structure helping make a vintage outfit look much more genuine...?
your hair is actually just the right length for a lot of 20s hair (psyche bun, faux bobs, swirl updo, mary pickford half up, headphone buns, figure-eigth braided bun, low updo) it actually gets a bit more finecky by the mid 30s, long haired updos are a thing in the 30s (mainly worn at the nape of the neck in the early 30s, around a, sometimes faux, crown braid in the middle and upsweapt and highly technical by the end of the decade) that blouse is adorabe! GG
When I used to be more part of my local fashion community as a jewelry designer the very first runway I did, and some thing I really wanted to try doing more seriously, is called post apocalyptic through the decades. Because my jewelry has a lot of steampunk vibes, the idea was what if we hit the end of the world in each of these fashion time periods, what might the post apocalyptic styles look like as we tried to reclaim our society in that decade. It wasn’t perfect, but I had a lot of fun trying.
I normally save Rachel videos for Saturday morning tea time but I sensed this one had some good Friday night energy and I was right, this was such a fun one! I liked the 60s look a lot!
This was such a fun video!!! I love how you maintained your personal style within each decade. Like it's totally believable that the same woman would wear all those clothes if she were a fashionable time traveler. Peak Rachel content
Finally TH-cam notified me!!! The dark hair is growing on me, at first I thought "ok, she looks good, and I'm not the one who has like it, if Rachel likes it, all is good", now I'm like "she looks really gorgeous with dark hair, how can she do it? Well if she can pull a potato dress of she probably can't do/were anything". And the trousers of the second outfit should go to to daily rotation, cause it looked soooo good, it made the outfit to me.
Blame skirting editing was definitely a favorite. Love this video with a blend of making, thifting, and shopping your closet in a way. And potato dresse in the background 😊😍
Loved this video so much!!!! Also, this year's Spring Baking Championship was so emotional for me. Seeing Dennis come out during one of the episodes hit a nerve with me as a closeted bisexual. I too have been craving sweets, specifically brownies every day since watching the finale. 🖤
I absolutely love the brown dress you wore for the 60’s! It looked super comfy and the make-up really complimented it as well! Love your videos Rachel!
That 60s dress is indeed *chefs kiss* personally my favourite style decade. On you I loved the 1910s look so much, you look like the teacher from over the garden wall!
I loved everything about this video, it pretty much encapsulates my current style. I started dressing in 1940's fashion back in 2019, but about mid 2021 I started to try some other eras, specially now that late 90's-early 2000s fashion is back AND I'M HERE FOR IT because when I was a kid I loved so many outfits in that era that I was waaay too young to wear, but now my time has come. "Life is short, dress how you like" resonated so well with me. Now imma dress however I feel like that day, I don't care if it's all over the place, I want to look like a time traveler/bootleg Star Wars character/fairy tale princess.
1910 definitely my favorite era on this. I so agree, life is short, pls do dress as you feel awesome and comfortable in. Whether it’s a Pikachu onsie or a viking tunic, do it.
I loved this! Your outfits for every decade were so cute and I like that you didn't just do the most stereotypical thing for each decade (i.e. a flapper for the 20s). Also that Gibson dress is MWAH. So gorgeous!
Loooove this video! 😍 1910s is so cool!!! My favorite fashion era for a LONG time has been the 50s (and the 80s), but learning to crochet has made me have a huge interest in the 60s and 70s too!
for the wig, if I mess mine up I tend to wash with a mixture of 1:2 clarifying shampoo & super hydrating conditioner. flip upside down to dry the lace/cap then style when dry
Back when I was 15 or 16 (around the late 2000’s) I remember one night I was sitting in a local coffee shop waiting for a friend to get off from work when two older ladies came through the door.

It was as though they had just popped out of Mary Poppins with the boots, the coats, the button down vests, everything. I still think of those two ladies to this day as the prettiest women I have ever seen in my life and I wish that when I am old I can wear my choice fashion just as beautifully and confidently as they did. No matter what you’re wearing or decade it’s from, so long as you feel good in it you’re beautiful!
Confidence is the best fashion accessory.

Things that aren't quite "just a vlog" but it's their channel focus AND sprinkled with what actually feels like a real day for them. I've got a couple of these that are just "there" and while I might be more than familiar with some of the things they're doing, I'm learning a bit AND laughing a little too.
They don't say it's the best medicine for nothing.
I wish you all many more good days then bad.
brb, crying
"What the back of my head looks like is none of my business."
Iconic.
Also, me while bleaching my hair from red to blonde 😅
Okay but the 1930s fit ended up going so hard
A very fun style to emulate!
Right?!
Love seeing legends supporting other legends
Yee it lovely to see you here. I love your videos!
Right? It was my favourite
"I don't have enough patience for make-up", says the woman who turned herself green for the Vintage Creature of the Black Lagoon! And where did you get the vest for the 1910's? Its awesome!
She shared the brand on her instagram :)
The brand is also linked in the description!
The 1910 outfit was the cutest and It still surprises me how much fashion changed in just a decade, from 1910 to '20.
But OMG! I completely fell in love with this Groovie Rachel from '60 ~ '70!!!
They made you look so young, like college student young hahaha. So cute!💕
I wonder how much fashion would have changed if WWI didn't happen...
Her 1910 outfit was more like 1900, in 1910 fashion was actually like something really between 1900 and 1920 so it isn't so surprising when you look closer at it :D
The 60s are such a difficult era to distill, because common fashion had at least three different sub-eras and high fashion was experimental without being too ostentatious. What you came up with worked pretty well, gave off a mid-60s youth culture vibe.
Yes, Rachel was quite "mod," not hippie.
“May your outfits be groovy, and the questions be few” words to live by 😂
The outfit you made for the 70s is a perfect 40s summer outfit. I know I've seen pictures of Rita Hayworth in something similar.
Fashion steals from previous decades CONSTANTLY. I'm still waiting for the next 40s vibe to hit shops again so I might be able to buy something off the hanger that mayyyyybe fits my shape.
Yes, it's a perfect "Beach Pajama" outfit!
I can appreciate that your 1910s outfit is just your best Bernadette Banner cosplay
And who doesn't want to be Bernadette Banner? (Unless it's Rachel Maksy as Bernadette Banner) 😘
@@kristinrogersdotter5492 Rachel as Bernadette as Zack, a la Bowie as Warhol as Basquiat.
Yeah, I got the similar vibe as well!
Yes, I was about to make this same comment! I would also love to cosplay as Bernadette Banner (minus the hair, mine is super short) some day.
i came here to literally comment this
I still can't get over your hair, the color is so pretty!
Okay, I've been binging the Nanny and I'd love to see you recreate a few of her outfits
wait this is a fantastic idea
Im in love with your 60s twiggy look ugh. More inspo for the closet ✨
"I want to wear this, and only this, for..."
"...the actual rest of my life!"
You looked pretty great, and you definitely seemed happier than usual, x....5! So go for it!!
Alternate title: Rachel finds the outfit she'd want to wear for all eternity if she were a ghost...I love that $200 tank top and the Betty Boop 1930s hair was adorable.
All in favor!?
I love that this was a GRWM and a vlog of Rachel's life and a lookbook. I will always be here for this content.
Pretty great content, Rachel! The 1970’s outfit was pretty spot on. I had “granny boots” like those that I wore with fishnet tights, orange, faux suede hot pants, and a skinny tank top. Stylin! 🕺🏽💃🏼
"Life is short, dress how you like." That's lovely all by itself.
The 60s and 70s looked SO good! Especially the 70s, that hair and makeup style on you looked beautiful!
The final 70’s outfit was so different than your normal style but looks PHENOMENAL. I especially loved the switch up of the hair!
So, the “ Lad that loves berries and cream” reference was such a wild epiphany, I was literally watching that commercial about a week ago after an out of character binge watching spree of commercials by decade. I can’t believe that reference came up! As always, love your work~
50's fashion will forever be one of my favorite eras and that is soley because of Teddy Girl Fashion. Its so cute and fun and makes me feel so gender, j'adore!!!
All of these were so cute!!! The 10's made me happy because of your energy! The 20's were cute because you picked the part of it you loved. There's more to the 20's than flapper dresses.
The 30's had that sweet moment that an older man said you remind him of an even older man!
The 40's was so sweet and so cute!!!
The 50's was great to hear how your tastes started and change.
The 60's was such an adorable look! When you put your hair up in a pony tail I was like oh yes! (Kinda thought you were going to try out your Austin Powers glasses with it! )
And the 70's was just so you. When I saw it I was surprised you wanted to make something else because that jumpsuit was too cute!
Thank you for this super fun video!!!
The 1920's hair and makeup is serving Lydia from Beetlejuice vibes and it's honestly not bad
My absolute favorite was your 1910's look. Everything, in my opinion, was just perfection (1960's was adorable too BTW)
You absolutely ROCK the short 20s-30s hair. It looks amazing on you.
1910's always holds a special place in my heart (everyone always looks SO good in it!) But all of these outfits were awesome! Thanks for taking us on your journey!!
the first shot of the 1920s wig was instant Moira Rose 😂 love how you styled everything!
OMG total Moira vibes! I thought that immediately. Such a great show!
I came here to say that. I LOVE Moira!
As someone who also likes dressing up and making costumes I LOVE the 1910's!!! I was in high school in the early 1970s and can tell you straight hair and empire waist dresses were very vogue,
Pant...or jeans tight to the knee and then flared out
And plaid, lots of plaid!!!
Rugby shirts! Plaid flannel. Gunnie Sax dresses.
This was fantastic!This old granny loved all the eras!cause I lived through most of them!Keep it up sweetie you are the best!
😆 Does it feel really weird to see people trying to copy all the styles that were everyday wear for you at the time...?
Some of them like the 1960s even seem to come round repeatedly as actual recycled fashion trends... Anybody who hung onto their bellbottoms (AND could somehow still fit them) could've gotten at least a couple of fashion cycles' worth of reuse out of them by now, I'm certain!
@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 No not weird at all.Back then I wore mostly what I found comfortable. I made my own bell bottoms out of jeans. But I would not call me a fashion plate.I love what Rachel does and feel that all young people need to learn to sew cause it is an important way to recycle!
I loved the 1930's look the best. Especially when you added the bomber jacket. /chef's kiss
Rachel
how do you look so good in every decade? 🥺
you absolutely slayed this. ❤️
can't pick a fav - they're all fabulous. get that you didn't have time, but I'll bet giving the wig a rinse will do wonders for getting it back into shape.
Strong Anne of Green Gables teacher vibes on that 1910's look!
Also: for any other real hair wigs that need a bit of TLC, a garment steamer will do wonders. Just don't... steam while wearing it :P
I can totally see that! If she still had red hair she could 100% be grownup Anne Shirley (but I also love her as a brunette)
Rachel: "I don't really have a style"
Me, who's been looking at Rachel for style inspiration for 2 years: "...Oh??"
SAME QUEEN
we're all just Rachel-core at this point
I'm currently in the process of binging all of your videos. They're all so feel good and nice to just put on while doing chores or studying for my millions of exams that I have coming up sooner than I'd like. thank you for being such a source of joy and relaxation.
I feel like it’s cute that your blindside is 1920s and 30s despite you legit killing it on both. I feel like my fav 2 decades are the 20s and 50s despite dressing like I’m a 9 year old or I just stepped out of the 70s on a regular basis
As a cosplayer seeing Rachel sew something new while still being in costume and wig is- *very* relatable 😂
18:37 "... you remind me of my grandfather." 😂 I only imagine how proud she must be.
Rachel makes this look like so much fun to do, I honestly feel like I would have had a blast doing things with her literally for a whole week. Call it a multi decade sleep over
18:35 I wear European folk-inspired outfits out in the world pretty much all the time, and I had a Romanian guy approach me once, saying, "You look like an old woman from the village I grew up in!"
10/10 Amazing compliment 💖
The 60s outfit was on another level oh my goddd. You embodied the era so well 😩
As soon as you explained how to do the Gibson bun, I immediately ran to my bathroom to give it a shot. I have to thank you so much for that instruction (and your Edwardian outfit is LIFE)
I’ve always been such a bullet bra sceptic but your teetahs looked amazing! The shape totally worked with the dress (In the least creepy strictly admiring way possible) :D
As a concept they definitely have a lot of WTF vibe for me too 😂 But the thing is, the clothes of the era were built to hang over that shape! So I guess it's just the usual case of vintage under-structure helping make a vintage outfit look much more genuine...?
your hair is actually just the right length for a lot of 20s hair (psyche bun, faux bobs, swirl updo, mary pickford half up, headphone buns, figure-eigth braided bun, low updo) it actually gets a bit more finecky by the mid 30s, long haired updos are a thing in the 30s (mainly worn at the nape of the neck in the early 30s, around a, sometimes faux, crown braid in the middle and upsweapt and highly technical by the end of the decade)
that blouse is adorabe! GG
When I used to be more part of my local fashion community as a jewelry designer the very first runway I did, and some thing I really wanted to try doing more seriously, is called post apocalyptic through the decades. Because my jewelry has a lot of steampunk vibes, the idea was what if we hit the end of the world in each of these fashion time periods, what might the post apocalyptic styles look like as we tried to reclaim our society in that decade. It wasn’t perfect, but I had a lot of fun trying.
I normally save Rachel videos for Saturday morning tea time but I sensed this one had some good Friday night energy and I was right, this was such a fun one! I liked the 60s look a lot!
Yea me too, so glad i did
This was such a fun video!!! I love how you maintained your personal style within each decade. Like it's totally believable that the same woman would wear all those clothes if she were a fashionable time traveler. Peak Rachel content
Finally TH-cam notified me!!! The dark hair is growing on me, at first I thought "ok, she looks good, and I'm not the one who has like it, if Rachel likes it, all is good", now I'm like "she looks really gorgeous with dark hair, how can she do it? Well if she can pull a potato dress of she probably can't do/were anything". And the trousers of the second outfit should go to to daily rotation, cause it looked soooo good, it made the outfit to me.
Blame skirting editing was definitely a favorite. Love this video with a blend of making, thifting, and shopping your closet in a way. And potato dresse in the background 😊😍
Loved this video so much!!!! Also, this year's Spring Baking Championship was so emotional for me. Seeing Dennis come out during one of the episodes hit a nerve with me as a closeted bisexual. I too have been craving sweets, specifically brownies every day since watching the finale. 🖤
Rachel please never change. You're the best. Love from Los Angeles.❤️❤️❤️
1920's really embodying Miss Fisher, Lady Detective.
Would love to see your reaction to the series.
I absolutely love the brown dress you wore for the 60’s! It looked super comfy and the make-up really complimented it as well! Love your videos Rachel!
Totally relate to the 'introvert crash' at the end of the required social interactions. 60's is perfect! I had that dress! But the 1910's? The best!
All the outfits were great, but the 60's and 70's brought back memories, since I lived through those eras. Good job!
I've definitely also arrived at the "life is short, dress how ya like" stage of life 💕
1930s is SO CUTE! I especially love the addition of the suspenders
Edit: I actually like how stiff the sleeves are! Adds whimsy to the outfit
She actually does look like Snow White! Absolutely lovely.
Your 1920s getting ready look was pure Lydia Deetz. You will never talk me out of it.
1910's, 1950's and 1970's are my favorites here. And the '20s scarf did a miracle of transformation!
This made me so happy!! thank you Granpa Rachel 💛
That 60s dress is indeed *chefs kiss* personally my favourite style decade. On you I loved the 1910s look so much, you look like the teacher from over the garden wall!
Would love to see you do "what I'd wear as a pirate from Our Flag Means Death" cus it's a weird mashup of 1650's and 1980's fashion that really works
Honestly, the 1920's look is my favorite. I totaly need the sweater. 1930's are also super cute, especialy the jacket you put on for a moment.
Gave me Indiana Jones vibes.
You were right on for the entire first half of the century and gorgeous in 1910! How talented you are! I am envious!
HOLY SHIZZ I AM SHOOK WITH HOW GREAT YOUR 60s and 70s LOOK - YOU ARE STUNNING!!!!
I loved everything about this video, it pretty much encapsulates my current style. I started dressing in 1940's fashion back in 2019, but about mid 2021 I started to try some other eras, specially now that late 90's-early 2000s fashion is back AND I'M HERE FOR IT because when I was a kid I loved so many outfits in that era that I was waaay too young to wear, but now my time has come. "Life is short, dress how you like" resonated so well with me. Now imma dress however I feel like that day, I don't care if it's all over the place, I want to look like a time traveler/bootleg Star Wars character/fairy tale princess.
1910 definitely my favorite era on this.
I so agree, life is short, pls do dress as you feel awesome and comfortable in. Whether it’s a Pikachu onsie or a viking tunic, do it.
I loved this! Your outfits for every decade were so cute and I like that you didn't just do the most stereotypical thing for each decade (i.e. a flapper for the 20s). Also that Gibson dress is MWAH. So gorgeous!
Loooove this video! 😍 1910s is so cool!!!
My favorite fashion era for a LONG time has been the 50s (and the 80s), but learning to crochet has made me have a huge interest in the 60s and 70s too!
for the wig, if I mess mine up I tend to wash with a mixture of 1:2 clarifying shampoo & super hydrating conditioner. flip upside down to dry the lace/cap then style when dry
The 1910's was gorgeous! I also loved the 1960's. That dress is super cute and I think you got the hair down just fine. All of it was great!
Vintage and fantasy potluck = brilliant
