- I want to try dressing in mid-century style clothing for a week, a different outfit every day. Just for fun, to see how I like it and whether I can do it using pieces I already own. Enjoy watching!

My name is Lucy, I'm a Dutchwoman here to offer an alternative approach to beauty.
On this channel I do mostly hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies, tv shows or history and I regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!
I really enjoy diving into history to find out how women went about their beauty and dressing rituals in days past. Vintage and history-themed videos are my little passion project.
You'll find a bit of lifestyle content here as well, ranging from cozy chats over a cup of tea (my beloved Tea Time videos) to personal vlogs and home & interior videos.

Rachel Maksy’s channel often shows how to make modern clothing look vintage. It’s been a ton of help to avoid spending too much money. She often wears modern shoes but still makes them work. Her go to color palette seems to be what you like and she just always looks good.
onyxfaith yeah she’s really good!
Loepsie and Rachel two of my fave youtubers...!!
I love Rachael too
I absolutely love Rachel! She got me into vintage. I also love Karolina Zebrowska (i 200% butchered her name, I'm sorry Meme Mom)
OnyxFaith aka Chelle
I saw a vid of hers in my recommended. Gotta go check it out!
My favorite part about dressing vintage at work, I work in retail, are the reactions from elderly people, mostly women. They always tell me that they wore the same stuff when they were younger and that they are so happy to see someone my age appreciating it..
I've been dressing vintage for 2 years now. I use modern clothing and give it a vintage twist because reproduction clothing can be very expensive. I think you did great! Clothing needs to "spark joy" and if it doesn't, don't wear it. For winter I mainly use skirts with knitted over the knee tights. They are a lifesaver! And I only use ballet flats because 1: they are the most comfortable 2: they go perfect with 40s and 50s and 3: because I just can't do heels anymore! Ouch! Also, wool skirts with a slip underneath are super warm. I couldn't go back to jeans. I was afraid of getting stares when I first started but honestly I get more compliments than anything. This era represents me and I feel pretty and strong. You wear what makes you feel like that! You do you boo! You're great!!😘
Three months in. Vintage-y modern clothes (especially second hand ones) are a budget-saver. I try to dress in style every day now even if it's just curls and cigarette-pants with a modern T-shirt. I even kept it up on my trip to Krakow (although the 12 hour bus ride was not kind to my curls).
I was also super warm (two skirts, cotton tights and wollen socks) outside but wouldn't feel hot on the bus (I'd lift the skirt up to my knees and roll the socks down, essentially only keeping one layer-the tights).
I also got quite a few compliments, especially 'wow...you have a LOT od will' cathegory when people realize I wake up at 6:30 to do my hair.
The skirts and blouses look a lot like what I wore in 1955. A sweater or English jumper would also work for a top.. You would look like my high school friends with a ponytail and saddle oxfords.
This is such a flattering style for you!! Honestly i love all of the looks!
I love vintage hair and clothing, clicked so fast as soon as I saw this in my feed
Outfit number 1 is a keeper, you looked like a boss! That scarf is everything!
If you want to know where to start vintage check out Rachel Maskeys videos she also has a video on where to start!!!!
OMG SHE LIKED MY COMMENT
I think colour is going to help make it more youthful 😀
Definitely. And they don't have to be bright colors or bold patterns. I liked the burgundy, and the blue of the jeans was a nice break from the earth tones. Some mellow blues and reds would add some variety and "pop" without straying too far from your preference for muted tones. :)
I think reusing pieces is fine! When I'm looking for vintage stuff I try to find things that will work with multiple items that I already have! White/off-white blouses that pretty much match any skirt I pair with it, or finding skirts with colours to match the embroidery on my one blouse. It's helpful to have a colour scheme in mind! I have a lot of pastels for spring and summer, then more earthy colours for late summer/fall and early winter. For me, a piece is worth buying if I can match at least two items I already own with it!
Nice video. The high neck, pencil skirt & straight hair looks very sixties imho.
Some tight knits would work and is warm. You could also introduce some pattern like polka dot and houndstooth to mix it up and make it younger looking.
You could add a trenchcoat to your wardrobe. That is classic, but also on trend and works with most vintage styles too.
mrsdeWilde I was actually thinking more 50’s vibe.
Wait, you used to wear _actual costumes_ in daily life as a teenager?! That's awesome!! I'd love to hear more about it! :D
Ok so this is rather embarrassing BUT yeah, we have footage... 😂 th-cam.com/video/dW2XwlMaBz0/w-d-xo.html
Perks of growing up on TH-cam. Also this made me realise just how long I've had that short-sleeved blouse hahaha!
@@Loepsie *YOU LOOK SO GOOD IN GOTHIC FASHION OMG.* I used to also own that exact same bunny-eared hoodie! :D
Thanks! Looking back at that video I do kind of miss dressing like that, I felt so princessy in my lace and long skirts 😊
@@Loepsie That video is adorable and you really channeled Amy Lee. If I had seen you dressed like that, you'd have been my absolute hero. While I was into Gothic style and absolutely loved Evanescence, I was never brave enough to dress like this, even though I wanted to and bought some pieces. They sadly saw little daylight.

That hounds-tooth skirt look is so Fran Drescher. Which is high praise around my house!
The nanny was one of my fav shows 😍😍😍 shes so fun and gorgeous
🥰 Adore Fran Fine for her highly color coordinated glamour style! That outstanding 90s wardrobe is still a feast for the 👀 eyes.
That bold 🖤 black & white🤍 look combined with the 60s fringe & long locks certainly did capture Fran's fashion forward loving spirit, but the skirt was far too long to be a replica. After all, the mini-skirt showcasing lovely legs was The Nanny's signature style. Either that or her spectacularly slinky full length sparkling gowns.

The last outfit is so pretty, you look very good in burgundy. And those shoes, God, I'm in love!
I really enjoyed this video! I love vintage clothing, vintage fashion... expecially the 40's! I think it suits you very well too! My favourite outfit was number 2!
The 60s ones were just the perfect balance. Chic, vintage and sexy in a sophisticated way!!!! 😍
a) LOVE your glasses- a beautiful modern take on a vintage aesthetic, perfect for being able to switch between modern and vintage dressing, and b) "vintage" is as extreme/ stylised as you want it to be - and if you don't want it to be true to a single particular era or style it doesn't have to be. For what it's worth, I thought you looked fantastic- vintage, but subtle, and certainly not anything out of the ordinary for any office I've worked in. Keep going! 😊
The last outfit I am for sure recreating for myself. Its like 1950's strict ballet teacher vibes I love it!
The blazer with the skirt looked awesome. Not old lady at all. (day 2)
I love this idea! I’m tempted to try it myself. Vintage dressing is something I used to do a lot in high school and college also and haven’t done it a lot since. Today I will be wearing a 1950s outfit to work since I’m going swing dancing after work.
I feel like it wouldn’t be able to pull this off but you did!! So beautiful! The 30s,40s, & 50s are some of my favorite eras!
ALL so adorable. Everything looked young and cute. I love mixing eras for a unique “vintage” inspired look. Would love to see another round of this in the future!
What's wrong with old ladies???? I find they usually are more stylish than young people.
Nenée Parra well nothing is wrong with it, but she is quite young so I’m sure she doesn’t want people to think she looks older than she actually is.
Most elderly Women (where I'm from at least) have grey hair & wrinkles...so there's no fear of her looking old :D Nothing bad about grey hair and wrinkles either...I've always wanted grey hair :D And the wrinkles are unavoidable so we all need to get over it ;) Personally I love dressing ''like an old lady''.
I thought the same thing...she keeps repeating she doesn't wanna look like an old lady with a bad face like it is something terrible.
I could totally felt the ageism there
i rlly loved the skirt and the white turtle neck!! very 60s french girl kinda vive
I enjoyed this. You look great! You might enjoy some little cardigans. They can look young and fun, and with the varying weights, they can accommodate for the weather without being a headmistress-ish blazer. This was a fun project. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Audrey Hepburn vibe the last outfit gave.
My 85 year old grandmother wore jeans to school.
Also, that pencil skirt outfit would have looked 80s with a different hair style.
Great video 😄 I always find that exploring the colourful palettes of the 1950s outfits avoids the ‘old lady look’! Pastels, bright greens and reds were very popular and youthful. Loved your pin curl looks! X
I think the white top with a dark bottom is what's lending the outfits to looks more like a uniform. I feel like even muted tones of colors would help with that! Also, all of these looks so cute on you! You look great in so many different vintage eras! 40's, 50's, and 60's! Major Bridgette Bardot feels from the pencil skirt! Also love your hair tutorials for her hair looks. Those gold glasses are adorable!
I loved that first style you wore (Evie). It seemed especially flattering on you. One way to add more vintage flair to your wardrobe would be to have the right accessories. Like that scarf your wore for the Evie look. It really helped sell the outfit.
What type of glasses you're wearing? They're soooooo beautiful!
The round rose gold ones are the CEO from Charlie Temple, all the others are from GlassesUSA.com. The gold cat-eye pair is the Nao by Michael Kors :)
You're looks are so versatile. You can definitely pull the full vintage vibe off. I feel your natural face is also very suited for vintage styles. :D nice video.
the first outfit!!! oh wow! i love wearing scarfs as an accessory, so elegant!
I love your outfits and they suit you very well. I grew up in the 70s / 80s. IMHO the majority of your clothes wouldn't look out of place in any decade from the 50s to 80s. Your hair and make up are 100% fifties. The bold lipstick is just fabulous !
How absolutely adorable! I love all of the outfits and you are inspiring me to do the same with the pieces I have in my wardrobe as well. I hope I can pull it off as well as you!
I loved the BB look! Incredibly flattering for you.
This style looks AMAZING on you!! Usually I prefer looks inspired by the 20s/30s, but these outfits were so pretty they almost made me change my mind!
Wednesday and Saturday’s outfits are just GORGEOUS. Those looks really suit you Lucy. Lovely video. Love from England 🇬🇧 x
These outfits were so cute and you look wonderful! I wear a lot of retro fashion but also mix in various J-fashions. It might help that people always tell me that I look like a high-schooler, but I don't have a problem with looking like an old-lady. I do use a lot of colours (think soft-summer palette) and patterns though along with ruffles and lace. I go swing dancing and a lot of people in that community wear retro or even vintage fashion, and I will say that colour and patterns help a lot. Vintage clothing oftentimes has a lot of lovely details and patterns. Embroidery, pleats, buttons, and trim can definitely help make an outfit more fun and youthful. Minimalistic, muted colours, and clean cuts give an air of maturity and sophistication, which is what a lot of your outfits were, but you still didn't look like an old lady in my opinion.
It makes me so happy that retro fashion is more popular now.
I am new to your channel and really enjoy it! I am in the U.S.A. in Texas.
My Mother was all about buying classics that she claimed never went out of style. . . . In the early 1980's My Mother, pulled out of her closet a couple of suits from the late 1940's, for ME to wear, (I just know they were before I was born, 1961) one was hunter green and the other black. Both had short jackets, cinched in just a bit at the waist, flairing slightly out from there and the skirt of one had inverted box pleats at the bottom of the narrow pencil skirt, to allow ease of walking. I was able to wear them in the 80's and no one knew they were 40 years old!
You put them together so well, I honestly think they don't look outdated at all, but at the same time they are definitely vintage.
Pretty vintage style all of them. I bought a white belt yesterday, sun glasses and a seagreen pullover on sale at H & M. I like to have many belts. Also thinner material on skirts I like.
Love love Saturday's outfit.
The dutch uniform is just comfort and fast. But alot of dutchies are ditching it! I am aswell 😌
I love rocking a vintage look by throwing in something modern to freshen it up. Either a full vintage outfit with modern hair, or vintage hair and clothing with modern shoes. I loved the outfits you put together. I think the last is my favorite overall.
The wool knee socks comment is gold, I live in them down here in Tasmania. Also, you can layer petticoats (cotton peasant style skirts are great, or make one out of flannelette!) under a circle skirt to be very warm. Just finish with a nylon or silk petticoat closest to your skin, so it slides nicely over your socks when you walk, without dragging. During this era, ladies wore a chemise or slip under their outfits, also, which is not only warmer, but prevents gaping bosoms on buttoned blouses.
The key to looking fresh & young is a tight fitted blouse or turtle neck with a tight wide waist. A wide belt is great, or if you have a wide waistband go for a thin belt. You looked great, though, just have fun exploring your options!
Hi Lucy. I have been binging your videos and just love your channel. I find your style lovely and charming. I love your accent and eloquent way of speaking. Also love your confidence. I’ve always loved period movies and television of days gone by wondering how ladies and gentlemen kept up such formal beautiful dressing makeup and hair!! You bring this to life god me. Also I am half Dutch and just discovered you are too when reading your description. How wonderful. Thanks for all you do. 😍😍😍
I LOVE the first outfit So CUTE!!! The vintage era, really depending on what era you're looking to replicate, was pretty conservative. Great video loved it!! You can pull anything off. I really like the pencil skirt on you. So flippin cute!!!!
Honestly you looked really beautiful in all those outfits, that last one omg it's SO BEAUTIFUL!! I really aim to wear more vintage/elegant outfits so this was a great inspiration, THANK YOU!
Your first and last outfits were my favorite. It's hard to style vintage without being "costumey", so I appreciate your ideas.
Yessss finally a video that helps me make my OWN wardrobe look more vintage style. I’m starting Law school soon and I have to dress formal for my internship. I’ve been looking for a video that can help my budget and teach me dress modernly vintage for my age. Thank you. New Sub 🌟
I absolutely loved this video! You did an awesome job of styling it all. 🥰
Can I just say that first outfit!!!❤️❤️❤️ I immediately knew who that was inspired by and I didn’t know you did a video with that look!
Omg I love these outfits!!!!! 💕💕💕💕
You should definitely do more of these. Loved watching it !❤
Loepsie you’re amazing everything you do
I love vintage style
And all clothing you wear
It’s such wonderful 👏🏻💖
I knew the Pin Curl Diaries couldn't be just for the heck of it! Welcome to the club of vintage lovers 😍
Love the hair, white top and pencil skirt day 3.
That first outfit blew me away!! You looked so good and I LOVE that Book of Kell's scarf! Now I want one too! I think a different color blazer would work with outfit 2. Maybe a bright modern color would help with the grandma feeling? I gotta get me some paperbag style trousers cause I am loving that look! I also love that you added in a look that steps away from the typical 50's and 40's. They sometimes get forgotten in the vintage community which is a shame cause they are very lovely too. Loved this video & am looking forward to more!
I’m in love with this video, your style and the entire challenge. I also live in the netherlands and I watched your videos before but I realized you were Dutch couple of weeks ago. My style is kind of alternative and retro and I totally get what you mean with drawing a lot of attention.
I loved how you mixed styles and stay in a more elegant retro way instead of looking costumey! You did an excellent job.
I hope to meet you one day in real life ❤️
Today I wore a vintage style dress and felt so pretty and elegant all day long! If I didn’t have a uniform at work I might try this. You looked absolutely gorgeous in all outfits but especially the first and last.
You did really well on a few of those days. I'm a vintage girl and getting the whole look right can take a lot of time if you're not used to it. Planning ahead is your friend. Royal Vintage Shoes has great reproduction footwear. I have at least 10 pairs of shoes from them. Rachel Maksy and The Closet Historian here on TH-cam are a great inspiration for taking modern clothes and tuning them into vintage outfits on a budget. Good Luck!
You look so damn good in every single one of these outfits 😍 also love how you can transform your hair from long to short so easily and both hairstyles suit you + ALL GLASSES SUIT YOU girl I’m in love w this video (I wish you put a vintage style music in the background though)
Oooooh I loved this! Clicked this so fast when I saw it. Please do more videos like this! I really like your take on vintage, I feel like I could definitely adopt some of your looks using the pieces I already have in my own wardrobe. Awesome! If you are going to go shopping some time in the future, I wouild definitely recommend investing in a nice pair of sturdy (vegan) brogues in a neutral colour. I have the Dr. Martens ones, and I can pair them with almost anything without being uncomfortable cycling through rain and wind while still maintaining the vintage-y vibe to my look. Keep it up!
You are a very watchable vlogger - easy to watch, adding that bit of flare and much needed humility to lifestyle vlogging, something that, as you know, can be very self-replicating. But as a non-vlog watcher (for said reasons..and also for being a bit shit at navigating the sea out there) I dig your take. Also I like the fact that you don't 'imperfection' edit. Your editing is real and I love the fact you left in one of your least favourite outfits for example - it show's your process and generally better reflects life. Thanks for reading, I am sorry if this comment was boring and keep it up!
I love the Saturday outfit--it reminds me a little of Trixie from Call the Midwife when she wears pants.
I loved the 60's inspired outfit! 😝 I also liked your honesty with the struggle-- it is so real .-.
I love the last two outfits! I think with vintage skirts it's definitely helpful to wear a tighter top. Vintage skirts were typically long and would show a lot of fabric, so with that burgundy sweater it looked perfect, whereas with the button ups it can seem like there is too much going on. Love seeing videos like this!!
So interesting to see your little experiment! I’ve always felt best in Edwardian-type styles so started dressing as Edwardian as I possibly can when I began uni. One of the most interesting things I noticed is that most people are pretty okay with the outfits (maybe a weird look or two) but the thing that really pushes it over are the HATS. If I’m just wearing a beret in the winter there’s nothing, but put on a boater hat or large “picture hat”-almost guaranteed a comment! Wild. I’ve also been asked multiple times if I’m religious … which is kind of hilarious because most of the things I wear really don’t conform with any religious garb ideas … I’ll be very interested to see how comments change as I transition into more Edwardian-looking things than just the styling for now.
I loved the outfits you put together, especially the first and the fourth. I would also love a hair tutorial on the fourth hairstyle, I loved it!
i love the blouses... Havent come across similar ones when shopping for myself yet.
Also I just watched “the Mummy” for the first time last night and loved it! You nailed that first look!
Number 3 and 5 is so nice! 3 mostly!
I really liked this experiment! Especially the bow blouse 😊 Vintage style is one of my passions and I think you can definitely pull it off!
How wonderful! I wear the vintage style almost everyday, and it was so fun to see what outfits you came up with. Yes, people stare and it's annoying, but sometimes people are staring not because they dislike it but they are just curious. As for the time and style problems, I have found the more you practice the quicker you become and the outfits look better. Once you find your look, it can take 15 - 20 mins to put everything together. :) You did a great job, and I'm glad you had fun trying it.
I think my favourite outfit is the one from Saturday, I love those pants! Also you look very good in that burgundy top, and the make up really goes well with it!
So classy omg! I love your new style!
Love your outfits!!
You rocked Saturday!
Cool video, nice looks! I love the pencil skirt. Suits your figure fine. Of course comfort is important also 😉
So cute! I especially love the first look and the jeans and t-shirt look! What a great experiment!
I’m so jealous!!! I want those clothes!!! So pretty!
This is all a win! Fav looks - Mummy look fav; day 3 pencil skirt; day7 very Audrey! Great run!👠👠🌹
i think it'd be fun if you did another video for summertime looks, since you struggled with finding warm enough outfits!
Vintage style suits you so well! I loved it👏👏👏
To me these outfits looked more business casual/business formal than vintage. That was my first thought as to why you didn’t end up getting loads of attention when out and about. If I saw you, I’d think you were a businesswoman or that you worked somewhere requiring a professional look (which is most businesses here in Canada!). That may just be a country culture thing or my lack of vintage knowledge 😅
Those pants are EVERYTHING! I really want a pair now.
Days 4 and 7 were right on except for the glasses. Great job!
Love these outfits! Day 1 was my favorite outfit! I would totally wear it :) love your videos ❤️ ❤️
Hi Rachel love your vintage outfits i just love the pencil skirt looked very classy Donna x
Love outfit number 7!
I loved every single look😻♥️♥️♥️
I loved your outfits! I think they suit you very well! My favorites are day 2, day 4 and day 7! You can try flat oxford shoes, they are a great option for a vintage inspired look and go really well with skirts. I love dressing like that from time to time and I really don't care what people think. ;) I also have a 30's inspired hut which I really love, but I don't get to wear it often..
the last one is SO cute! You look amazing
The pencil skirt outfit looks so good. Don’t play it down at all! 60’s looks great on you
Thank you so much for your video... love all your outfit... Pls keep on posting video coz I learned a lot from your video...❤👍
I love the second look and your hairstyle
I absolutely adored all of your vintage looks! ❤
Ahh thank you! That means a lot, considering I'd happily take over literally your whole wardrobe right this second 😝
Outfit number two!!!!😍
The second and last one were my favorites. And you probably get a lot of looks in Amsterdam cuz you're so pretty!!
