I've been feeling more comfortable/confident when wearing clothes I make especially with old silk, typically from 1910-20’s. They’re mostly old lingerie pieces or undergarment rags that I piece together. Netting old netting is nice too or lace that isn't very decorated.
I’ve been trying to spend less on new clothes and it’s giving me the opportunity to rediscover older items in my wardrobe that I haven’t worn in years. And I feel like my style has almost improved?
I love clothes that look like they have been well loved,, like a bag that has some rips and tears but still does its job because it was well made and I was passed down from someone’s mom
I feel like well worn clothing is the way to go. It seems to mold to your body when you beat it up a little. Never been a preppy type, so most of my clothing has been through the wringer. You’re more approachable too. There has been numerous times where people commented on a piece of clothing I was wearing, and I had a story to tell about that piece. Good for that too, you always have something to keep a conversation going.
