I Dressed as Different Decades For a Week! 

Confidence is the best fashion accessory.

This is the most wholesome story, thank you for sharing!! 🥺😍

@@dianeo It really is, but IDGAF is a very close second, most people can't tell the difference anyways :)

Oh how I love this story!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🥺😭😍

My dream retirement! what an inspiring moment

Me reading this: :○ omg yeeeeeees

Yeah we didn't get to see it for very long but it looked kinda 40s-50s to me, very summery. If the pants were shorts it would def look like a 50s playsuit beach outfit thing.

omg i would love a disney princess/character themed video with clothing based on the year the films came out.

You have just reduced a lifetime of agonizing over what to wear to dust. Thank you stranger.

@@thefictionxwelive I'm so glad to help!

Exactly! And the thing is no matter how random your outfit choices are, there will always be something to them that makes them you. My outfits can go from always gothic to 50s inspired to rainbow everything, and my friends will still tell me I have a personal style :)

@@IkBenHetLekkerNiet Yes!

TLDR: I agree! Oh my god I was literally getting dressed ten minutes ago and I would put something on and I’d be like “I like it… but it’s not cottegecore” and I’d take it off. It took me 1 hour of getting dressed to realize a. I just don’t have that kind of wardrobe yet and b. Labeling my wardrobe as a certain aesthetic REALLY limits myself as opposed to simply saying “I just really like this sweater and those pants :)”. It’s great to look at these aesthetics AT FIRST when first redesigning your style but you need to get to a point where you now know what you like and just start wearing chorus’s without strict labels. Like Rachel started out with straight up vintage but as she got older and experimented more with clothes, she is just wearing what she likes which happens to take inspo from vintage styles (trousers, long a-line skirts, puff sleeve tops, etc.). Rachel Maksy is my #1 style icon but I am now sprinkling in little aspects of me into my wardrobe mainly with color like wearing multi color sweaters or very bright colored dresses. Sorry this is long I just have a lot to say :)

😂😂 I thought the same when she said that! Rachel who has sat for literal hours transforming herself into other people lol

SAME

Is the bees knees?

Omg yessss 😂

As a beauty I am not a star There are others more handsome by far But my face, I don't mind it For I am behind it It's the people out front that I jar.

She must watch Unhhhh, Katya said the same thing on an episode.

@@juvisage8427 it’s all over tiktok right now too

@@chupacabrachic3616 oh I didn't know that, that's cool

I've had similar things happen to me when I wear my historically inspired clothing and hat, or when I decorate my hair with ribbons, braids, dreads and beads. There has been the odd weird look, but the vast, vast majority (at least 90%) of reactions have all been smiles and compliments! Dressing the way I love honestly gives me the kind of confidence almost nothing else does. It's bringing my inner creativity to the outside, like its own type of art.

Awww, that’s adorable. 🥹

I hate pants.

Rachel: "The 1910s just hit different." Me, with my 16 and a half year old dog dying next to me & ignored on every comment I leave on Rachel's videos: "Where's your time machine"

You're such a mood ✌🏾❤❤❤

okay yes but consider S E C R E T P A N T S

As a masculine man I can't imagine not wearing pants 💀 unless I'm dressing 1500s or something pants are a must for me!

We truly are simple people, you, me, everyone who watched this video-

Yes yes, same

Amen!

its great saturday morning, for me!

Aye, Cap'in. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Unintentionally giving the only compliment she ever wants to hear. Whiskey Grandpa 4-ever!

Also, influencing a good chunk of makers to get into creating hobbity clothing over the past few years.

As a fellow Brit. Jam first ahhhh!!!

I am cautiously curious about the reason behind your use of quotation marks on the word "person".

@@uMaud seconding this

@@uMaud To soothe your confusion, I am a “human”, I eat “food” and I have “human skin” :)

@@ChiB2004 would you, perchance, be from Devon?

YES! Great idea :D

A very fun style to emulate!

Right?!

Love seeing legends supporting other legends

Yee it lovely to see you here. I love your videos!

Right? It was my favourite

But also: Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?! -Hermione Granger

@@lajoyous1568 OMG thanks for that. Absolutely one of my fave quotes from the films.

That's just the thing, though, isn't it? Women were taught how to sew, and knew what order tossed the parts and how to put them together. When we lost that, I don't know.

@@kathyl6677 When the average person stopped deeming sewing as a necessity. Imo, everybody should at least know how to mend a hole or sew a patch into their clothes/bags. I don’t see an overabundant need for the average person to know too much about sewing.

@@kathyl6677 I feel like everyone should be taught how to sew not just women, I'm a man and we were taught how to sew basic garments at my school 🤷🏾

@@Nick-dx2pt good for you! I tried to teach my son a few basics like sewing a button. Don't know if any of that stuck. Everyone should know basics.

It’s the same with vintage knitting and crochet patterns. They all come with a very strong assumption that you know what they’re talking about! 😅

Is your husband Nick DiRamio?

When she said that, I shouted "you have OODLES of style???"

She has STYLE but not just one specific style she always wears

I thought the same thing! haha I went straight to the comments to see if anyone else had the same thought

Yes! Exactly that!

SAME!!

She definitely has to post pictures of this outfit when she has red hair again !

1980s is my favourite decade - I would love to see how Rachel would style it 🙂

saaaame I was a teensy bit sad there was no 80s, she could do a rad Cyndi Lauper vibe.

She did a "dressing like my high school self" once and it was glorious. All the 00s avril/paramore/panic vibes.

that wld be so cool to see her do 80s and 90s

@@liv97497 Haha, I loved that video!!

The 1910s outfit is- and I say this with love- deeply, deeply 1890s. You're ~20 years off, babe, I know you're trying so hard!

I also audibly exclaimed when I saw the 60s outfit! so cool!!

@@lady_sir_knight3713 Yeah the sleeves and the vest definitely pushed it earlier, wrong silhouette for 1910s but still very cute.

I very much hope that your abdominal problems are something that will heal over time or that medication can help you with, Ethan 👍

Being someone who also has a chronic illness, I'm in total agreement. I hope your good days happen in multiples, and your bad days come with your chosen pharmaceutical management so they pass quickly. That said, I too have been trying to cultivate YT creators that are just relaxing. No (overt) politics. No inter-channel drama. Things that aren't quite "just a vlog" but it's their channel focus AND sprinkled with what actually feels like a real day for them. I've got a couple of these that are just "there" and while I might be more than familiar with some of the things they're doing, I'm learning a bit AND laughing a little too. They don't say it's the best medicine for nothing.

I wish you all many more good days then bad.

brb, crying

Good luck!

Hope everything ends up ok!

Hope he'll be OK.

Prayers for you and your husband. ♥💐♥

Prayers and healing vibes to your hubby!

And who doesn't want to be Bernadette Banner? (Unless it's Rachel Maksy as Bernadette Banner) 😘

@@kristinrogersdotter5492 Rachel as Bernadette as Zack, a la Bowie as Warhol as Basquiat.

Yeah, I got the similar vibe as well!

Yes, I was about to make this same comment! I would also love to cosplay as Bernadette Banner (minus the hair, mine is super short) some day.

i came here to literally comment this

Yes, Rachel was quite "mod," not hippie.

I'm on the same boat, it's so much fun!

I freaking loved that so much 😆🥰

Whiskey grandpa strikes again! 😂 (Even when dressed in a 1930s-style blouse...)

wait this is a fantastic idea

The 60s outfit made me think of an era TV show maybe a young female crime solver or the like. But I agree the 1910 look was the best look overall. Again maybe an era TV show a crime solving librarian or museum curator. Vintage placed shows have taken over my brain.

I LOVE that!!

I need this as a poster on my wall !!

I love this!! 😍

She shared the brand on her instagram :)

The brand is also linked in the description!

All in favor!?

I actually could swear she was setting up to cosplay Natalie Portman's character in The Professional. It is amazing for some accidental wig mistreatment.

Fashion steals from previous decades CONSTANTLY. I'm still waiting for the next 40s vibe to hit shops again so I might be able to buy something off the hanger that mayyyyybe fits my shape.

Yes, it's a perfect "Beach Pajama" outfit!

OMG total Moira vibes! I thought that immediately. Such a great show!

I came here to say that. I LOVE Moira!

I wonder how much fashion would have changed if WWI didn't happen...

Her 1910 outfit was more like 1900, in 1910 fashion was actually like something really between 1900 and 1920 so it isn't so surprising when you look closer at it :D

SAME QUEEN

we're all just Rachel-core at this point

I can totally see that! If she still had red hair she could 100% be grownup Anne Shirley (but I also love her as a brunette)

😆 Does it feel really weird to see people trying to copy all the styles that were everyday wear for you at the time...? Some of them like the 1960s even seem to come round repeatedly as actual recycled fashion trends... Anybody who hung onto their bellbottoms (AND could somehow still fit them) could've gotten at least a couple of fashion cycles' worth of reuse out of them by now, I'm certain!

@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 No not weird at all.Back then I wore mostly what I found comfortable. I made my own bell bottoms out of jeans. But I would not call me a fashion plate.I love what Rachel does and feel that all young people need to learn to sew cause it is an important way to recycle!

Pant...or jeans tight to the knee and then flared out

And plaid, lots of plaid!!!

Rugby shirts! Plaid flannel. Gunnie Sax dresses.

Hella strong Evie vibes. I loved it!

what show/movie/book are they from?

@@kahwa_c The Mummy 1999, the one with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz

@@aim-to-misbehave5674 oh, thanks!

As a concept they definitely have a lot of WTF vibe for me too 😂 But the thing is, the clothes of the era were built to hang over that shape! So I guess it's just the usual case of vintage under-structure helping make a vintage outfit look much more genuine...?

Yea me too, so glad i did
