This year’s 28 Days of Historical Dress was a bit different than those that I have done in previous years. I totally didn’t intend on it, but I stuck with mostly vintage for almost all of February, and I actually enjoyed it! I think it’s one thing to have my historical ensembles already set to go, but putting together vintage looks daily from the vintage pieces that I already had (from my early years of obsessing with 1950’s fashion), and taking my more modern pieces to look vintage was a fun challenge to take on. I found that this year, I also really enjoyed the whole process of getting ready each morning. Typically, it takes me a LONG time to get in motion for the day, and unless I have somewhere to be other than running errands or picking up my kids, I am dressed in whatever loose and comfy clothing that I have in reach. Outside of my historical costuming, I tend to describe my style as that of an eclectic art teacher who is also a witch. So getting up when my alarm went off, styling my hair, doing my makeup, and all that became a morning ritual that I quite enjoyed. And to be honest, it definitely helped with my ADHD by kicking me into gear to do things in a pattern. I got A LOT done!
So here is the video of all of my looks for my challenge, and I am so excited for spring because I will DEFINITELY start making and wearing more 1960’s outfits (all thanks to my new obsession with the show Palm Royale on Apple TV)
