"The odds of me marrying a Princess and becoming one myself..." May the odds be ever in your favor!

I love the idea of a "How to Style it Vintage" video!

So nice to watch a vintage thrift haul that's doesn't involve light wash mom jeans! 🙌🏻

I recently found the most perfect crimson culotte, and a Scottish wool plaid vest and jacket combo... I'm slowly living my witchy alchemist/goth granny fantasy. Thank you for expanding taste in this dreadful world of ours..!

You should research J. Peterman, because his style was vintage traveling clothing. You would definitely like his designs. It was a "catalog only" company before the internet came about. Also, Elaine worked for J. Peterman in the 90's sitcom "Seinfeld"

I would love to see a video about how you care for your vintage clothes (laundry, long-term storage, etc.). I always feel like I'm floundering with hand washing, no matter how many KZfaq tutorials or ButchWaxVintage Instagram stories I watch. You made dart manipulation make sense for me, I imagine you can do the same for hand washing.

My best find this month was actually a hand-me-down from my mother which was a hand me down from her friend- a London Fog trench coat from the 1960s with the zip-out lining! It's super cozy and makes me feel like a detective which is delightful

I love “Beatnik in November”! You could also put it under a vest, add a foulard, those same black trousers you got and a pair of worn-in knee high boots and you would have a fab Garden-tending outfit. Love the idea of the styling it vintage challenge video, please do make it.

Love the "Italian marbled end papers silk blouse for the International book dealer look"! and the Aunt wears it to the kindergarten graduation! I'm going to start titling my outfits, too! Keep it up!

That coat-dress is gorgeous on you - as a coat and a dress.

Okay, you have inspired me so much to actualize my dreams of incorporating vintage styles and clothes into my wardrobe. As a fellow queer I often feel as though I can’t present too femme. Your sew with me/tutorials are very informative. They really get me excited about designing and making my own clothing again. And you look so amazing in more masc outfits! Those pants look like they were made for you, and it still reads pretty feminine. Thank you for being such a beautiful light in this world!

I love every. single. outfit you wore! And I adore your sense of humor.

Never worry about having a big wardrobe sourced from thrift shops! Also, with your knock-out gorgeous figure, nothing would look too masculine!

Hi, B! Love the iguana sweater! And now I'm picturing iguanas wearing sweaters...

All the maximalists like me just nodding along like yeah of course you need something to wear in case of Princess/ receiving flowers from children.

Wow, wow, wow! You looked alluringly dee-lish in every outfit you modeled in this video! I'd like to say which one was my favorite , but I think they ALL were my favorite!

“Iguana” is my new favorite color name.

The intro is me trying to justify my secondhand clothing hoarding tendencies 😅

I have a huge wardrobe like yours, and I feel good because it is thrifted, upcycled and handmade by me. No Guilt! You're all good! Amazing video! I'd love to see a video with a friend thrifting for you and you styling it vintage! Love! :)

When you held up that red & gold tie, I realized you were also wearing gryffindor makeup (the lips & eyes combo)!! Btw I don't think your wardrobe is extravagant. I mean, if you didn't own much clothing, each item would just wear out & need replacing sooner. On the other hand, each item in your collection will last for years......and unlike fast-fashion, planned obsolescence, most of your beautiful vintage clothes will still be beautiful & wearable for decades, either by you or the next lucky buyer. Thank You for sharing your haul(s)!!!!.

Nailed them all!!! You do seem to have the superpower of being able to 'anything' into a vintage look!!! Well done! (And those black pants look fabulous.)

Love the men's wear look especially for the 40's and 50's. It's just fits really well.

I'm in the UK and we never find such great clothes in our charity shops (equivalent of thrift shops, I think). Occasionally there are vintage fairs but they are a little overpriced. I'm 51 and grew up in the 80s. It's funny to see fashions come round again -I've never been fashionable. Forward thinking vintageistas (a word?), why not make some present day clothes and put them away for future vintage. I once found some fabric in a shop in the "retro" section and thought to myself "that's not retro, I made myself a frock out of that once", then I remembered that was over 35 years ago😨. Love your channel x

Your humour and comments make me smile. I love your styling thrift haul videos and yes please take a friend to challenge you to vintage style what they choose and yes for fun I need to see that acorn autumn tshirt styled more ways 👍🏻 I saw a coat dress at a charity shop last weekend, I liked it but lacked vision! I am going to rush back to see if it’s still there. You find so much great stuff, I need you as a thrifting buddy.🍁🍂

You nailed every single one and the proportion with the Autumnal turtleneck was *BAM!*

Thanks for shopping at actual thrift stores! I watched another youtuber do a vintage “thrift haul” and it was actually stuff she’d bought on Etsy and thredup. Which is fine but $15-$20 is not my idea of thrift! $3.50 is definitely more my speed 😂

Mamma Mia! That pinup/aunt shirt looks spectacular on you!! Also, I’d love to see that “make it vintage” challenge video! :)

J Peterman makes/made great vintage inspired clothing. A lot of it is adventure wear, circa 1920-1940. Love them! Plus..Seinfeld lol!!

I love buying the cutesy stuff at the thrift store and styling it to look stylish. My coworkers are always amazed at what I can pull off.

I am new to your channel, and love that you invent scenarios for the outfits (safari chic - international bookseller, etc) and show your finds styled in multiple ways. Would like to see a video on alternate ways to care for dry clean only labeled items.

Braces in the UK, suspenders are the things that hold stockings up attached to suspender belts.

“I just need to get away from all the petite things but- I can’t be stopped.” FABULOUS.

Love the "don't know why I bought these ties"! :). Hope you have fun finding a reason or two. Don't forget your earmuffs, if you happen to visit Herbology on your travels.

I 100% agree with you, it's better in your closet, rather than landfill. The items are so cheap, but timeless, so wearing it only once or twice a year is still ok, as you can keep it for years, so you do get the wear out of them. Then they can go to another home, unlike modern fast fashion, which start to fall apart after one wearing.

YOU GOT GLAMOUR PANTS (the J Peterman ones)!!!!! They're patterned after 1940s men's slacks, DREAM vintage-butch-Katherine-Hepburn vibes, horrifically expensive new, and they look AMAZING on you! Wow, what a great find!

PS you are tops at styling clothes, go girl and enjoy the kitch.

No doubt about it-- you are a good woman for rescuing these "used" clothing items from the cruel death of a landfill; not only giving them a loving home but, showing the world how beautifully fashionable they are....on you!

Honestly, every thrift item you purchase keeps money out of the pockets of fast fashion companies, and saves something from the landfill. Never feel guilty about collecting pieces you love. In a way, you’re collecting pieces of history and giving them new life. I am new to your channel, and just love your style and personality! ❤️

Btw, love all the slight HP references lol 🤣

The Italian marble shirt and that last skirt are my two favorites

I love the black and white peasant top with the black skirt. You wear that quite well. All your outfits are really dressy. We have lost a lot in the last fifty years. Watching you makes realize how casual we have become.

You nailed all of these looks!!! They look so expensive, yet you paid very little and kept them out of the landfill!!!

Well I feel absolutely inspired to go thrifting now.

I love wearing things that balance precariously between children's and grandma clothes (one of my shirts is both of those + BBQ dad aesthetic)

Just found your channel, and I am slightly (ok, super) obsessed. Love how you take thrift finds and turn them into vintage. Makes vintage available to all. Also, not so much of the costume fifties look so evident everywhere. Plus, absolutely love your adventure style!!

Yes yes I'll be patiently awaiting the ravenclaw lookbook 🥰😍

Peterman was a crazy expensive mail order store. They had very good descriptions which were very fun but completely overpriced but the narrative was so intriguing I really wanted to buy but never actually lost my brain and paid eight times the normal price.

Love the idea of someone shopping for you and you styling it as vintage

“Looking corporate but nowhere to go.” My style in a nutshell.

After a personally terrible month of thrifting last month, I am living vicariously through your hauls. lol! I think my favorite pieces were the coat dress and the rust red accordion skirt.

I love that swirly-colored silk blouse! All if your picks were great. The idea of a styling challenge would be fun!

I’m so tickled with all of your finds, you make them all look awesome! The trouser “ready for anything” look is what I aspire to during the workweek in the office. It can be difficult to find things that will ‘work’ for that look with my apple shape

That silk blouse by portfolio! Wow! 😍

The fall long sleeve is mega cute! I love it! Also yesssss do the friend picks and you style it vintage! I think that might be fun!

As far as a large wardrobe goes.....I’m right there with ya sister. I have an insane amount of clothes but it allows me to create to my fullest extent. Most of my clothes are secondhand as well. I have pieces that I’ve never worn but I feel like that’s part of the #thryftlife sometimes you find amazing pieces and you have to grab them

Rena Rowan! Famous designer w. an interesting history. Her escape from Poland during WW2 and subsequent bio is worth checking. (1928-2016) She was married to the late singer Vic Damone. I had some J. Peterman clothing- not cheap- you scored. Love the silk Italianish blouse on you, and the red silk Clio shirt. Have to say, you excel at styling everything you buy. Oh- silk ties I collect them and wear them, as a loose tie or school girl tie, and also as a belt. I can't find any silk scarves at thrift stores where I live. The universe heard my plea for silk scarves! Went to a local consignment shop and found 2 small silk scarves, perfect condition, $4.25 for the pair.

"Maximalist"...I can relate, and I love that phrase!

Slight thrifting envy. I'm 5 feet tall and narrow shoulders... I'm living vicariously through a few of those finds!

😅😅😅 I just kept giggling when you were showing the ties. I just can't imagine why you picked up those ties. 😉😁

I see the acorn and oat leaf top with a pair of flannel pajama pants and fuzzy house shoes , maybe even Ugg’s, worn durning a long day of designing and cutting during the winter . Also it would look good with some Rosie overalls and arms boots, worn with a hair scarf. Reading the comments reviewed to me several previous comments I have made to this video. I binge watch often!

You have a super good eye for fashion! I love the way u can put things together and the look comes out vintage!!! ( unless the actual piece of clothing is vintage! )

Use Dryel for dry cleaning. Also, if you don’t have dryel you can dampen a washcloth and put s few drops of fabric softener and toss in the dryer. It works great and doesn’t damage your clothes. I LOVE coat dresses!

I think I found the exact same leaf pattern t-shirt last time I went thrifting! I was definitely tempted, but I thought it would look too grannyish on me. you styled it perfectly though! 💕

I too don't feel guilty about buying lots of second hand clothes. I just donate them to my local charity shop if I no longer want them. Love your videos !

I've found through you and some other vintage KZfaqrs that I definitely love the more masculine or school looks. As always you are super inspiring!

Everyone trying to help the environment isnt doing it perfect, but it's people like you that's doing it better than doing nothing at all and not care about the environment. Your efforts are very admirable and you're doing a great job! Also love your collections!

That green jumper is literally the jumper of my DREAMS

You and I would get along swimmingly- I am literally drowning in FAB AUTHENTIC VINTAGE clothes, handbags, shoes, hats, jewellry, etc. I have at least 6 pair of jodhpurs from the 1940’s with the big hip flares, high waists, metal zippers (you know the drill) that I wear with riding boots! An elderly gentleman was kind enough to show me how to tie a tie at a rummage sale years ago and it’s very easy! I also have 1940’s fitted suit jackets and 1950’s beaded sweaters❗️💋❗️

I love the first outfit on you! It reminds me of Bomb Girls, though it looks more expensive and clean-lined than any of their more masculine looks. It just reminded me of them. I definitely think it works for you. You have a particular energy that doesn't move/is salient in your presentation and I think the way we fit in our skin is largely what we're talking about when we discuss whether an outfit or aesthetic works. It works if you work with it/feel at home in it. Also, I don't think having a lot of clothes is naughty at all 😘 Do what brings you joy. It's not like you're going to throw them out when you're done! I resell or donate 80-90% of the clothes I wear and I think that's what counts.

loved the princess reference it made me laugh and laugh. great shopping job you did. but you said things that make me feel guilty about my closet. I really try not to go shopping anymore. I wear tye sometimes and get tons of compliments. They are unexpected for people to see.

We had a tie that went with our winter uniform back at my old high school. Year 7, my first year, my brother put the knot in my tie and for 6 years, I never untied it. Just loosened or tightened. So, no, I have never learnt to tie a knot with a tie!

I'm a maximalist, too. I watch minimalist KZfaqrs knowing I'm never going to reduce my wardrobe that much because I like having choice. I have jackets that I've had for decades and some wide-legged grey silk trousers I drag out for special occasions. I used to wear a tie for school so I know how to tie one, I wish I could show you. As usual everything you bought looked fabulous. And, yes, we call them braces in the UK.

You CAN pull everything off in a vintage way. So cute!

Your finds are absolutely gorgeous and look great on you! 😍 You know, in viewing your videos, I have never seen anything you present that looks un-stylish on you....keep up the good work!

Oh my goodness. I had so many shirts like that oak leaf shirt that I wore with "stretch pants" or even better, stirrup pants. But the print was often cats. And I'd wear a big headband. And patent leather shoes (hopefully with frilly white socks). That was entirely my 90s childhood aesthetic.

Also I've tried the Laundress soap..It cleans very well, rinses very well and smells really good! 😁

The all-state sugar bowl tie is a souvenir from a college football bowl game. As a fellow maximalist, I drink lots of iced tea of course. Your eye for style is impeccable!

I love your hauls, you don’t need to apologize for having a big wardrobe, if the clothes you buy make you happy it’s the only thing that matters, also you’re buying secondhand which is much more sustainable than buying at fast fashion retailers.

Another fun thrift haul - love that you describe the item, and then show us how you'll style the piece with you sassy posing. Your narration is always on-point, Bianca. Suggestion for those ties: if you don't want to wear them as traditional neckties, you could open them up and use the bias-cut fabric as a waistband or to trim a blazer. Although they could also look fun worn as a a belt or worn traditionally as necktie with pencil skirt, waistcoat and collared blouse. Looking forward to the next thrift-haul/how-you-styled-it!

Audrey Hepburn rocked turtle necks in Funny Face. Pretty Mid century!

That dress jacket thing gave total private detective vibes 🥰

I think the Peterman trousers would look great with a peter-pan collar blouse and spectator wingtip shoes

I just got back from thrifting where I got a couple of 80s/90s sweaters. Breaks my heart to think of vintage items perhaps ending up in a landfill.

So envious of your second hand shops! I live in a town full of trendy students so everything good is gone immediately. That marbled yellow top is stunning.

Petites in bottoms primarily means short waisted & shorter inseam. J. Peterman is a catalog celebrating a vintage/nostalgia vibe. You should check them out, I suspect you would have fun browsing & reading the descriptions. Not that you need to do as I say, but since I also adore Liberty Prints & thrifting I feel like we enjoy similar things.

Can't wait for the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw lookbooks! Don't know why I'm thinking about that...lol

The oak leaves mock neck shirt & outfit Is just amazing. I love it!

Ok, you are a magician. The fall turtleneck I about fell over and threw up when you showed it on the hanger. But, when I saw it on you, it looks fantastic! Take that granny top to the sketchy side of town...... and it works!!!! Awesome haul!!!

I'm in love with the leaf print turtleneck!! 😍 And you totally made it work

I know I'm late to this video, but if you patterned that Italian marbled pattern blouse, I would lose my mind with happiness. I love that collar and the interesting front closure. I have a marbled rayon that wants to be that blouse.

Oh, and looking forward to the Ravenclaw lookbook. 😉

Yep! Braces 🇬🇧

I love the style of the paisley blouse. The tucks and pleats are in very flattering areas. Would be great to see close ups of the front and back.

Hi Anna-Marie here. I love everything you purchased this time. especially the coat dress. you have a wonderful way of pairing everything together. that turtleneck acorn top can be worn anywhere and for the money you paid just wear it as a fun piece. Have fun!

Those J. Peterman slacks are a real find! Very high quality. And they look fabulous on you! Ok that shirtdress is gorgeous! That label on the skirt looks late 40's early 50's. I love ties and wear them especially during the holidays. NICE haul!!!

Loving those Autumn coloured tops, that kooky oak polo-neck is cute as a button & the silk one is just divine; Yes, polo-necks were popular with both sexes right across the mid-20th century, (particularly the 1960s). I was surprised to learn that they were popular as menswear in 1920s for a while too.

"The odds of me marrying a princess." Indeed. We can all dream :)

Oh how funny! I was born in Evergreen and went to CU!!! Your color sense is unusual but spot on. We have a HUGE second hand market here, 150,000 people in town and about 30 second hand shops.

B...like the coat dress and pleated skirt..nice. the leaf top and blue flower top..not so much..a stretch even for you. Glad your branching into mens wear, good to mix it up. Worked for Marlene, why not you. ALWAYS ENTERTAINING !!...STAY FUN ! J.

the oakleaf turtleneck is very kindergarten teacher, but in the best way. :D so cute!
