I love you all!

Hiiiii!! So I wanted to address the "Fast Fashion" issue: Trust me, I totally get it. That's why I usually push so hard for thrift hauls and buying vintage/used, and very rarely buy from 'mall stores', but sometimes stores like Target are all that people have access to, so it becomes really difficult for me when I want to illustrate a point and educate, but also don't really want to support fast fashion. Going forward in the series, I definitely want to explore more ethical and sustainable brands (hopefully ones that don't cost me an arm and a leg but I understand quality comes with price), so if you guys have any suggestions, that'd be great!
I just wear my normal one and push the straps off to the side! It's not the best solution but I'm still on the hunt for a good strapless one!
Hi, I also like to thrift shop. And Im not a huge fan of buying clothes that half the town owns, lol. When I do buy from a big marketing stores I go to Kohls, Tj Max, Walmart has cute crochet/ lace summer tops , Ross, and Marshalls.
It can also be really hard to thrift if you're plus-sized. Sometimes fast fashion is the only option for some folks. *shrugs*
Amen, sista! I have a collection of vintage bags, hats, and accessories and use those with modern vintage-style pieces to create the look I want. Torrid has some incredible pieces in their summer inventory that look very vintage - Edwardian to 1960's. Check them out, and Old Navy with their summery gingham dresses and vintage prints. Happy hunting!
I second the suggestion to try a discount store like Marshalls! I'm always having to hold myself back when I go because they have so many cute clothes, and it's so easy for me to say, "it's only 15 bucks, why not?"
Their home decor section is lit, too. Just saying 😂
$20+ clearance.....that is full price in my world lol. They all look great though.
Hahaha same 😭😭
I agree, take the green skirt back. The rest look great and its ok to splurge lol
Same lol
This attitude is what created and fuels fast fashion.
morgoth lotr I thought fast fashion was more about poor quality and buying the new “trend” and throwing away stuff once it goes out of fashion. Kind of like disposable clothes. I see no issue in looking for deals. Sounds responsible actually as long as you get the use out of them/buy from a responsible maker.
Honestly, I could just watch you model your clothes in new ways every week. Your fashion sense is so inspiring!
Heehee you're the sweetest thank you!!!
Sarah Ingerson I would love that too...just Rachel standing in her living room swishing her skirt.
I love it when the doggo has captions😂
heheehee
A very large portion of my wardrobe is also olive green lol it got real awkward when I also had an olive green purse and I actually looked like an olive....carrying an olive with a strap. The other part of my wardrobe is burnt orange....maybe my goal is to be a carrot
Hahahaha NO SHAME, that's amazing
🤣🤣🤣
Oh hello it's two years later, but are you me?
MissDraiha 👀 gurl maybe
YASSSS someone finally said it! Target is not cheap ladies! Walmart for life.
Right? I feel like most people think it is cheap but it's totally not hahaha
Oh man it's the same at Australian Target. I saw a dress that was like $120! FROM TARGET!
skyfairy 5 Walmart has an amazing online selection!
I hate Walmart. And they are not always cheaper. I've done my homework.
Yes target is more expensive but the styles are wayyy better than Walmart
@thepinupcompanion oh oh oh! I have a NEW challenge for you! Pick a look from your favourite 1940's movie or 1970's movie and you must recreate it as closely as possible from hair to shoes using only thrift store items that you must buy.No using any clothing you already own or shopping online.
Ooooo yes!!!
Seconded!!
I literally yelled “AND IT HAS POCKETS!” when you tried on the first skirt
YESS I LOVE THIS SERIES❤️❤️ Please make these challenges part of your regular uploads because it's very difficult to get vintage looking clothes in modern stores for me but his video shows modern clothing in a new light🙌🏼 Could you do a Walmart edition for cheapos like me or even an amazon edition🙏🏼
Yay! I definitely will try!
Darling, those off the shoulder tops are so easy to make. if you can sew in a straight line, that's all you need to know. they are just two rectangles with some elastic drawn through the top. You could make a ton of them in fabrics that you like or to match an existing skirt or pair of pants.
I need to try it!! 😍
The Pinup Companion all you need to do is stretch out one that you already have onto some paper (it could even be newspaper) and trace it out. It's that simple, i promise.
You are totally right! Though this line of thinking is a slippery slope! A circle skirt is three straight side seams, sew on a waistband and zipper, hem it, and your done! Or instead of attaching a waistband, you can whip up a quick princess seam bodice and have a dress! It's really awesome being able to sew your own clothes, and sooner or later you realize that you can make pretty much anything you can find the materials for. Which is why the only reproduction things I buy anymore are novelty prints designed in house that I couldn't possibly get fabric for!
I'm totally on board with this! I started sewing last month (lol) with expanding my "vintage" wardrobe in mind, along the line I'm hoping to buy a lot of vintage patterns, but right now I'm sewing a skirt!
Good on you love, sewing is such a useful skill to have and you will feel like a million bucks wearing something that you made. There's no end of helpful youtube videos on sewing to help you continue to learn.
Oh, I love the tan and olive stuff on you. If there’s one thing I think suits you at least as well as vintage, it’s the safari/adventurer look! All that’ll missing, is a prop rifle slung over your shoulder and some lions roaring in the background (I‘m looking at you, Frodo) 😁
I agree though, the high/low skirt doesn’t cut it. Especially without pockets!
Heehee thank you love!!
Target has so much for the vintage look right now but the price tag is to high it’s getting ridiculous
Right?? I feel like it's always been a bit expensive even in my high school days womp womppp
Is it really expensive when we think about the labor and materials involved in manufacturing clothing? I would categorize Target’s clothes as fast fashion, and though the price may be high relative to how long they will last, I still think they are cheap in terms of using poorly-paid labor, low-quality details etc. I hate that this sounds hopelessly snobby, but it really does make me uncomfortable to see high consumption of fast fashion with little consideration of the environmental impact or human rights issues involved. It would be fair to say I am privileged because I can afford to spend more on clothes, but I honestly still limit how much I buy. I enjoy this channel and don’t want to criticize Rachel for having fun shopping and making a cute video with styling suggestions, but I wish the fast fashion issue would be addressed at some point. I realize, too, that some people do not have the budget for new clothes from higher-quality sources, but I have seen even my affluent friends buying exclusively fast fashion and looking for the cheapest sources of clothing in the past few years. I find this emphasis on price and quantity over quality to be unsustainable, and I have to admit that I would be disappointed to see a series focusing on hauls from fast fashion marketers.
@@oeilletetetoile1356 That was very politely expressed. The thing about fast fashion, too, is that it's not actually cheaper, because the clothes fall apart. I mean, I guess if you're discovering your style it IS cheaper because your wardrobe will keep shifting, but if you know what you want and are looking for pieces you'll wear forever, department stores are not going to save you any money. I grew up without a lot of money, and almost all the clothes my mom got for my sister and I were from rummage sales, thrift stores, or hand-me-downs from other families. I think the only new clothes that we got were bras, underwear, and jeans. Because of this background, I don't like spending money on something that isn't going to last.
I recently saw that Target had come out with a whole bunch of summer clothes with unfinished seams. As somebody who is teaching herself how to sew, this hurt my heart for artistic AND ethical reasons. It should be a crime to sell a half-linen, half-cotton dress with raw edges.
I read an article once on how even American seamstresses are underpaid (paid by commission at too low a rate to make a decent hourly wage, since sewing takes so long). I have also heard that, for many single or poor women in third world countries, sewing is one of their best bets of survival. I wish that it was easier to get reliable information on the factory conditions that each brand of clothes are coming from.
Without sounding like the guy from silence of the lambs, your skin is so beautiful 😍
Hahahaha aww thank you!!!
I love your videos. I know you've been having a rough time in terms of motivation recently, but I want you to know that you're a big part of the reason I started making videos again. Even if your reach feels small, you're making a huge difference.
Also this video was super fun! Take care of yourself and know that you have a lot of support behind you.
You are so sweet, thank you so much ❤️❤️
That gingham skirt is absolutely dreamy
And so swoooshy!
Dang, how hard do you sneeze? Lol Vintage is tough as plus size. I just went crazy when Torrid did a retro line. I love the polka dot dress.
I feel you! As a plus sized girl I've accepted that my vintage collecting is never going to be clothes, so instead I look for great vintage hats, jewelry and accessories! Just be careful, in my hunt for vintage accessories I've also started collecting vintage chachkis and vintage mid-century modern furniture!
Hahaha not that hard, but when a vintage dress is super fragile, and amount of force can pop those buttons off lol
VintageDreaming Amazon has some pretty dresses and skirts.
“ Ah hoo hoo” I stan a good impression
Hahaha that's me, Pro Pilsbury Impersonator
I’d love to see a forever 21 version 🤗
Oooo yusssss
Finally someone said it. 😊
What about Walmart? Now that would be a challenge! The prices might be better, but selection? Maybe.
I've actually noticed a few things this summer at Walmart that were totally retro inspired. Like a tropical print playsuit with the skirt that only comes like 2/3rds of the way around and leaves a gap in the front, which is very 40's. I almost grabbed a top with the gathered neck and ruffle like Rachael showed, but then I remembered it was Walmart and would probably fall apart after a couple washes!
Possibly!
whossoul You’ve got that right
retrobebop61 Walmart has an amazing selection online!
I’ve found my favorite vintage inspired pants from Walmart. Although most of my skirts and pants are from family members who made them at the period or thrift stores.
Im dying to see one of you vintage lifestyle TH-camrs do a Wish.com haul of vintage reproduction accessories. I see adorable shoes, hats, gloves, headbands, jewelry, etc... that are totally 1930/40's. Its so cheap! And honestly, Im usually perfecy satisfied with what I buy from Wish, and their shoes get surprisingly good reviews. I'd love to see you film a vintage haul review.
That was a brilliant video Rachel , so informative , very educational and I totally get what you are talking about , thanks for sharing , wish I had discovered you about 20years ago , your so quirky and different , I love your videos , so entertaining. Happy Vintage Shopping !! Rachel .
I really like the polka dot dress....that open part looks like a nod to the way the play suits use to be....and that black and white skirt with the black top....FABULOUS on you!!!! I adore your humor and wit....you consistently make me laugh out loud....and who couldn't use a bit of loud laughter?!
Absolutely love this haul and of how you turned modern pieces into vintage looks. You have a great eye. I go into Target and get completely overwhelmed that’s why I do the majority of my shopping online.
Everything is so cute on you! Especially that floral design peasant top with the yellow skirt! I love that outfit!
Ok I'm back. It's me the over-eager commenter! 👋👋👋😁 I loved your haul! It's amazing how easy it is to make modern pieces vintage. Another thing I noticed too is how huge of a difference the hair and makeup make. It takes it from cute everyday dress or skirt, to vintage in an instant just from a victory roll and a red lip. You're my hero! ❤💄💋
Heehee exactly!! thank you my love!!
Oh my goodness I love your videos so so much! Your style is adorable and so inspiring! Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤️
This was awesome! I cracked up so many times! You look gorgeous in it all, but the black off shoulder shirt is soooooooo beautiful on you!!! Best find!
Such a cool video! Would love to see more like this. Finding your channel and watching your videos has given me the final push and inspiration to start dressing vintage all the time. Thank you so much! Hannah from New Zealand.
I love videos like this!!! Thank you so much. I'm new (very new) to vintage, and don't have a ton of money to spend on the real stuff, so every bit helps. I really like that you are trying to make vintage accessible to everyone. Thank you! I really hope you post more of these!
Aww yay I'm glad!!
Ugh, you are living my aesthetic dreaaaams! I love this channel so much 😍
Yesss you're back with a video for me to watch whilst getting ready and a haul at that (oddly enough, as you're one off the only people where i enjoy the hauls). It's all so summery,love it!!!❤ (also how relatable is your disappointment at no pockets haha)
AHHHH THIS IS GREAT!!! I love this new series! I always say that fashion is cyclical, which can be super handy for us vintage loving people
This is wonderful! I'm hoping to move my wardrobe in the vintage style direction so this is very helpful!
target is a total hit + miss ahh ! the " who what wear " line typically has the best ! skirts !! but you definitely have to keep an eye on when they get new lines + when they all go on sale hahahaha !! last summer they total had linen circle skirts + let me tell ya,, i was livin the dream !!
loved the video + i think you're hair just keeps getting better + better oh my goodness !!
Hahaha oh man I must've missed the circle skirts, dangit!
your style is so inspiring❤and I absolutely love your sense of humor...thanks for making me laugh😂
Rachel, you need to know that you're one of my favourite TH-camrs. You're fashion sense is fabulous, you're hilarious, and you always make me smile. I have a really bad cold right now, and I spent most of my day watching your videos. Always cheersme up... Love you!
I loved the idea! It totally gave more inspiration to try and achieve a vintage vibe in my own wardrobe, can't wait for the next videos 💖
congrats on your 100th video!!!! so exciting!!!😀😀😀
😊❤️❤️
this was a lot of fun! Target is expensive! also your look has evolved since 2018! You are fabulous then and now!
I found one of my recent shirts from target on the clearance rack. It's so hard to find mock vintage white shirts now a days. Even from reproduction sites.
Definitely!
I really enjoy your videos.
They’re just getting better! You are my favorite TH-camr. Hands down💕
Could you do a tour of your home , or even just certain rooms or pieces? Love the peaks of vintage furniture and decor! I watched the video where you mentioned this was your grandma’s home before yours,, I love old houses. How special that you have that part of her and have made it your own! I’m such a fan of all you do, thanks for all the hard work and creativity 💚
Omg you are so funny! Love this video definitely helps to start my vintage journey.
Your videos are such a delight to watch! Thanks for the awesome tips!
Aww thank you so so much!
I love the helpful info you are producing. I work in an office and I would like to start there for my vintage style as I feel alot of today's stuff makes me feel like I'm dressing up as my mom, lol. But I LOVE the way vintage looks.
GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! I bought that striped white and blue skirt number the second I saw it in target. One of my favourites! It’s so precious
Heeheehee yes!! It's so cute!
I could watch your videos for hours. Your style is amazing!
this is such a good idea and all these outfits are so cute!!! everyone else can step back the best youtuber is comin through👏🏻👏🏻😆

Oh my goodness that black off the shoulder top and earth toned skirt is SO BEAUTIFUL. Fave outfit of all.
Thank you my love!!! 😊
I've been sooo busy for the past few days. And I can't belive I've missed the best challenge of all time for me at least. Came all the way down here ( in my sub box) and enjoying this amazing content. 🙌🏻❤️
Some good finds! I too am adding army green to emerald greens...no forest yet. It's a great neutral. Love the gingham skirt ...been Eyeing it myself, might have to go on Target website. This is the type challenge I have put to myself most of my life...it's always fun to try.
I'm crazy about almost all the clothes you've presented ! I wish we could find such stuff more easily in France ! So ... The sewing machine is my best friend ! You gave so much inspiration for my next creations to come !!
Thank you so much lovely! I definitely want to teach myself to sew more of my own clothes too!
Totally loved the olive dress!! What a great haul!
Thank you my love!!
Love this! Hopefully this can be a great little series on your channel, this is so great for beginner vintage.... people... or whatever we’re suppose to be called 😅
Aww yay I'm glad!
The amount of movie, TV show, and song references you make in all your videos make me happy
This is so cool! I technically dress vintage (the majority of my clothes are 80s-90s) and it's really interesting to see how seamlessly these pieces that look very modern by themselves can go into making an authentic looking outfit. I think pre-70s fashion can seem very intimidating because of the disconnect our culture has because of how much time has passed (not to mention the majority of thrift store clothing is 70s-00s)
I've found Target to be a great place to get cardigans! Year round they always have them, in a variety of colors that change through the seasons, and they usually have a few with cute lacey patterns in the spring/summer. Living on the west coast it never gets THAT cold, so cardigans are my stable through the fall and winter, and it's nice having an easily accessible source for them!
So true! I almost bought some this time but was like hmmm maybe I'll wait til fall lol
Love!!!! And Frodo too
Hey former target employee here! If you really want to get things for cheap, get friendly with your local target price change member if they still have employees dedicated for that job, i know it varies from location to location. Another thing is that every week the prices goes down for different sections on different days! Womens/young ladies are usually on mondays, kids/infants on tuesday, Wednesday i think is shoes, thursday intimates and friday mens! (Sorry if i got it wrong, idk if its a different schedule for different locations) also don't be afraid to ask an employee to double check the clearance price, it may be lower than what is tagged since it goes down like 15%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and finally 80% if i remember correctly. Also the target app is a good way to see what they have for clearance so you can have a clear idea what's being clearanced out before wasting your time scouring the racks and you dont like anything lol. Hope this helps! -former price change target employee
Frodo is your handsome sidewalk vigilante...all the best people NEED to have a sidewalk vigilante to protect them! I love that you include him in your videos.
Hehehe yes!!
Absolutely agree with ya doll!
You guys have Target & we have Primark for cheaper clothing. I buy a ton of cardigans plus, just recently purchased a couple of peasant style tops for the grand sum of £6 each!!!! So easy to achieve that vintage look if you do your research. A definite game changer for sure. Big love to you & Frodo cutie! Xxx
That second off the shoulder top outfit is so cute! 😍
Thank you ! Thanks for sharing these inspiring tips ! It really makes me want to give it a try and go more vintage ! And Frodo 💕
😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
hi i loved the henna hair dye vid, i've always been frustrated with my natural red hair until i came across you, now i've finally fallen in love with it and am excited to try the same henna this coming week, thankyou
THANK YOU!!! I will now look at modern clothes differently! I just have to "look" a little harder and I can find something that can be turned into "vintage" outfits!!!
That olive green dress was my favourite!! I too own way to much green clothing!!! Cute styling !!!
Heehee no such thing! Thank you love!
I love this!! That black off the shoulder top is gorgeousssss
Thank you pretty!!! 😊
I love everything you got! I am so tempted to run out to Target!
I'm so glad you posted! Just got me a cup of peppermint tea and am curled in my favorite glider-rocker with a warm summer breeze floating in, and then you post what I crave most-videos- I didn't know heaven could visit earth:)
Everything is so adorable 😍😍😍 amazing video like always 😸
You are by far my favorite retro youtuber❤❤❤
I loved this*-* can't wait for the next part 😍
Thank you love!!
Wonderful video, Rachel! Super excited to see what you're going to do for the next round of Face Awards! Give Frodo a kiss for me
Yay new video! Love you Rachel! 💖💖💖
Heehee love you back cutest!
Oh my god I love you!! I've followed you on instagram for about a year now and didn't know you did TH-cam! Your editing style is great and shows your personality which made me fall in love more!!
Heehee thank you lovely!
Yaaay new video! i've been binging your videos all day yesterday
Heehehee😊😊
Nice! My favourites are always twinset cardigans!
YASS I am ALL about this series! ♡ that black top with the embroidery is amazing on you! :O
Lovely video as always dear!
My favorite outfit was that black off the shoulder top with the yellow skirt! Sooo cute! Great video! I know you've been dismayed lately- and so I really appreciate you still put out a video! I hope you're doing okay!
Thank you so much love!!
Mine too!!
I really enjoyed this video! I wouldn't have guessed the items as they're displayed in the store could look vintage, but when you style them into a full outfit they definitely do -- and they look SO CUTE! Love it! It'd be really cool to see a thrift store haul (not sure if you've done this already, haven't seen all of the videos yet. :) )
Loved all your finds!
Oh my gosh we have the same skirt! I actually bought that blue and white striped one a few weeks ago because of how vintage and cute it is!
Right?! I was surprised to find it!!
I love the polka dot dress & the gingham skirt the most, but all your outfits were so cute! This series is so fun & your bloopers & captions for Frodo always makes me laugh!!! :)
Heehe thank you my love!
I have that blue and white skirt with the buttons!!! I just bought it on clearance for $11.05 But I'm so happy that it was in your haul! 😁
Love it all but the 2 black and white ones were awesome!!!! Frodo tearing into his toy was priceless!!!!!,💚💚
Heehee thank you love!!
Your editing gives me life 💕
Oh my God this video gives me lifee💜💜 I love this idea, and I also feel like target does have amazing clothes to take vintage with 😍😍
Thank you so much my love!
Love this type of videos ! Well done Rachel
Thank you lovely!!
Your house is literally goals and I love it sm
Hi Rachel! Love the video and all the summery looks. I was wondering if you would to a video on dressing vintage in the summer heat. I’m trying to transition my wardrobe to vintage but I’m having a hard time because I live in New Orleans (the humidity capital of Louisiana) and all the vintage-y pieces I own are fall/winter (read thick and plaid). Thanks ❤️ looking forward to the next Nyx video!
Thank you for the suggestion! I have a lookbook that shows some of my favorite pieces but I definitely need to do a whole video dedicated to it!
Wow, you found so many amazing pieces! You really have a great eye, I wouldn't have thought to grab many of those. Those outfits are so pretty!
Thank you so much lovely!!
I love everything about you! You're hilarious and have the best fashion ever! Also i absolutely love when you add your dog into. So stinking cute!
Ahh you're too sweet!!
I love all your content! You do you and stay weird! You dont have to jazz it up for anyone! You're doing great!
Great video - this series will be an eye-opener for us British gals. I've never shopped at Target when I've visited the US. The film "Wild Child" had me thinking it was a budget store 😃
You're awesome! Your videos are awesome! Frodo is so wonderful. Loving all your stuff! I agree on green skirt.....return. I'm gone try this idea myself, going to go to targhay myself and put together a 1930s look. 👍🎈👍🎈👍🎈
Heehee thank you my love!
I just wanted to say that I discovered your channel yesterday when I was in bed with a cold and your videos cheered me up so much! Great style and super fun :)
Awww thank you so much!! Hope you're feeling better!!
