The bigger the hat, the better to post on Derby Day!!!! There’s a very good chance Pony’s hat obsession/collection stems from her unfulfilled childhood dreams of attending the Kentucky Derby. She’s just been prepping all these years... Thanks Maria for making this one look so good! - @ponyandbrett ⭐️ - @mariia_baziuk - @buddka84 - @jtfranchuk
May means that #thevintagefashionchallenge is back! While I won’t be able to participate daily, I’m hoping to do a weekly post from the prompts. I so enjoyed connecting with and discovering so many wonderful people last year that I couldn’t help but join in some of the fun.
This week’s prompt is “introductions” and today specifically is #throwbackthursday. This photo means a lot to me for many reasons. It was taken by my loving (and patient) husband at Disneyland last summer. I’m wearing one of my favorite outfits, sewn by me from a mish-mash of 3 (4?) different vintage patterns. It was a fantastic day and very special memory.
My name is Lindsay and I sort of fell into vintage fashion about 14 or so years ago. My fine and frizzy hair didn’t take heat styling well, so I resorted to experimenting with pin curls. My body type didn’t look good in available modern styles, so I resorted to seeking out more flattering silhouettes. I don’t stick to one era though 1940s beach wear is probably my ultimate favorite. I believe fashion is about what makes you feel good in your own skin. Dress for yourself and enjoy your clothing! I don’t take it too seriously, by no means do I have a closet with only vintage. I wear reproductions and modern clothes too, especially in the summer when it’s 115 degrees in the desert!
I also spend a lot of time knitting and sewing from vintage patterns. Not only is it a great way to make custom options for yourself and others, but it’s incredible therapy for me. Crafting can be an immense mental break and one that I need often! #craftinganxietyaway
Also want to add that I love vintage fashion, not vintage values. It’s merely the aesthetic that draws me to older time periods, not the beliefs.
And a big thanks to @makethislook @iliveinmylab and @tinyangrycrafts for putting this on again. I discovered all 3 of you during last year’s challenge and you’ve continued to inspire me from then on!

Gene Tierney in promotional stills for SUNDOWN (1941). She was so breathtakingly beautiful. Have you ever seen this film? I haven't seen many of Gene's films, but this looks like a good one to check out! -
