Well I want to make it clear right off the bat that this shirt is brown and not black. And that is the only reason I don't wear it. But it's a lovely top and it's in great shape, like maybe it's been washed one or two times at most. There are no visible defects. It fits small for an XL, but it's supposed to be a tight tee. So this is just a classic kind of American Sportswear type of shirt that's meant to fit into an entire collection of American Sportswear with khakis and windbreakers. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Some of those old sportswear looks from the 60s are pretty cool. I love retro styles like that. And I like these kind of striped shirts either with plain old jeans and sneakers and a jacket on a casual day. But these striped tees also look good with very voluminous skirts, or even just midi skirts- something in tulle dahlings. Maybe a baby blue.

I loved this scarf when I found it in yet another vintage shop along the west coast, man I need to go back! It is silk, it has a couple of pulls on it just because it's such delicate fabric, but otherwise I think it's in excellent quality. I have no idea who the designer is. All I know is that it's a good quality scarf. It's one that you can tie around your neck in various ways, like a larger bandana. The bright colours in this tells me that it has to be styled with colours pulled from the scarf like orange and pink, or blue. As long as you take good care of it and wash it by hand and sit it flat to dry, you can wear it however you want to, it makes a beautiful headscarf for all you ladies out there looking for dope af head scarves in bright colours, especially for ones to wear at night to preserve your hair, cause it's silk.

So I got this gorgeous dress from H&M like 3 years ago on a whim because I lost some weight and it looks fantastic, it's the perfect length (about 6" above the knee) it doesn't go down too low in the front (wah...) but you still show some leg and boob and it covers a multitude of "sins." So it's all black and it's all lace and there's a little bow that ties at the back of the neck to keep the dress in place, there's a side zip but I don't use it, I just put this thing over my head. I should mention, that version of the dress was XL and I loved it, but it was too big and looked difficult to take in. So I got a L, well here is that L dress. It was so much smaller. It's definitely a smaller L, but their divided line tends to fit smaller. I would style this with either the biggest statement necklace ever or just a dainty gold pendant. It looks great with basic pumps, pink or blue pumps would be cute. It's the perfect dress for pretty well any occasion. Maybe not the beach...

This really pretty dress is actually from Torrid, and it's a size 1, or a 1X. It's really comfortable, the fabric is all crinkly, but it's so soft against your skin, and you can totally free-boob it in this dress. It's a good cover-up kind of dress. I love it, but I don't wear it, so here we are. So, for styling, I guess I'm into a Free People kind of mode, but I want to see this dress with like short cowboy boots, cowboy booties, if you will. And I would do some turquoise stones, maybe some amethyst too, if you pick out colours next to the blue on the spectrum for your accessories, I don't think you can go wrong. But this is definitely one you wear with beautiful beachy waves and big ass sunglasses with a cool hat. Keep it natural with the jewelry, not big chunky modern jewelry, not that that also wouldn't look cool. I would do layers of long chains with gemstones and pendants and a collection of silver bracelets and cuffs and lots of turquoise rings. You could even go for complimentary colours and do it with citron or carnelian. It's a cute dress, have fun with it!

Well, this dress is a hand-me-down actually. For those of you born in an era when you didn't have to have hand-me-downs or never learned the term, it's just clothes that friends give you that they don't wear anymore. And this was in a stack of a few small black dresses, buuuuut, it's just not very flattering on me, idk. It's cute though and it has a slight retro-edge to it. It's a black light woven fabric basic tunic or shift dress with some lovely lace detailing on the sleeves. It's from Old Navy, so it's pretty decent quality. I would wear this dress with cool black tights, a proper black fedora and over the knee boots and maybe a long vest.

So what we have here is a beautifully made skirt from a country that makes really small sizes and I've never managed to get into it, so here's your chance! But seriously, I think I ordered like a 4X and I'm between a L and XL and it's too small. So if you're between a M and L, it'll probably fit you. It's made from a nice sturdy, good quality heavy fabric and it has a decent amount of volume in it. You could do more with a crinoline. But my suggestion would be to simplify things and use horsehair around the hem on the inside of all the layers. That would give it more structure because it does have the potential to be one of those classic big 50's and 60's skirts. The fabric has a nice sheen to it. I mean I would love to wear this skirt really classed up for a major event. I would steam it and sew that horsehair into there and pair it with a beautiful lace tank top with some light sequin work and of course, red patent leather pumps. Make the top black and it's kind of like an LBD, but with a longer skirt. However, I would also love to have been able to wear this skirt big and full with fishnets and a black and white striped top with a boat neck and long sleeves and a big sparkly statement necklace, maybe gloves and a nice bolero jacket over top for a chilly day.

This is a dress I bought from H&M without trying it on. I had got a bunch of white and off-white things to tie-dye with just black to go with other clothes I'm working on. So it's just a basic, off-white body-con dress I suppose. You may need to wear some shorts under it as it can be translucent because it's off-white and it's quite short. I love basics like this because they are the bottom layer of so many different cool looks. Just spit-balling here, I'd tie-dye it for the summer and wear it with cover-ups and cowboy boots, black of course. Not to mention, this is a dress that you can accessorize your heart out of. So yea, I love the basics because they create the first layer of what can be a multitude of outfits, the options are limitless. Also, my other pictures don't seem to be showing up, please be patient for me as it will all get sorted out. I'm brand new and sometimes your browsers can make things harder. But I hope someone finds a home for this basic dress.

Ok, so the thing about this corset is that I didn't make the corset itself, I wasn't at that level yet and didn't have the necessary ingredients to bake one in the oven. So I scoured the internet for the base corset in my previous cup size. I was wearing a 42DD, so that's approximately what size it is. You should know that if you expect this to suck you in at all, it wont. You kinda just wear it as a top and you may need some fashion tape. But come on, it's so pretty and sparkly!!! And I wore a strapless bra underneath it when I tried it on. In fact, you might be able to wear another corset underneath it. I had a lot of fun stoning it, it took hours and hours and everybody loved it when I took a selfie in it with a tutu I have that goes with it that I also made. But, I lost weight and it's too big so I hope another size 18 lady with large breasts can find some hot love in this corset. I've already given a bit of a suggestion in styling this; a tutu (I chose white) looks good with this. The more voluminous, the better. And I did a tea length myself. I wanted to wear it with a nice leather moto jacket (it would work in every colour except like brown or navy) preferably one with lots of studs and chains. But hey, if you can just wear this as a bra top like it was meant to be and you want to show your belly, it would look good with some tight leather pants and a satin blazer on top with prominent shoulders. Oh, and the higher the hair, the closer to the ceiling.

I got this cute little number from SHEIN about 2-3 years ago when sweater vests were just starting to come back in. I had worn one ironically in high school and it looked good, so I thought this would, but you know, with my body shape, it just doesn't work on me. So I've only tried it on and it's been sitting folded under a table for months. But think of the possibilities with this look, the bold geometric print will make any outfit pop, and the pops of colour almost accessorize the vest. If I were to wear it, I'd do a sheer button down shirt in black or white and leave it untucked with a short (and I mean short) kilt type of skirt. If it were me though, I'd also want to add more black and white prints because all together they can look really amazing. And definitely some kind of chunky shoe. Oh, and I almost forgot the over-the-knee socks in black and white stripes. I'd keep accessories to a minimum and maybe wear a small rhinestone necklace, like one or two strands at most and you can button up your collar and wear the necklace in place of a bow-tie.

I was so young in my style journey when I bought this shirt and I ended up never wearing it, even though it is a really nice shirt. I found it probably 10 years ago in a Buffalo Exchange in Portland. Oh wow does Portland have some amazing thrift shops, and just all down the west coast. It's a treasure trove of true vintage. The reason I don't wear it is not that it's not my style, or I wouldn't have piked it up, but I have a very similar shirt that I like better and so I would love for someone on their own fashion discovery journey and comes across this cute top and loves it like I did. Couldn't tell you anything about the brand, and it's a pretty solid XL, maybe on the small side actually. I can see wearing this with a few buttons down and a nice skinny black scarf of some kind, or a bandana scarf would work too, one of those lace and beaded ones. Then I would either tuck it into a simple short fit and flare skirt to emphasize the chest and the legs. And with the short skirt I would wear a black bootie of some kind with a decent heel on it, maybe a platform boot.
