Trying on ALL of My Vintage Dresses and Curating My Wardrobe for Spring 

Quote of the year: "My body is what it is - to carry me through life and wear pretty dresses no matter what size it is." Body neutrality helped me appreciate my body (or just exist in it, like you said). I have always had a belly and people think I'm pregnant. When I correct them they apologize and then they assume I don't like my body. Little do they know I'm just here for life's journey! My belly and I are in it together. Personally I think my belly is pretty cute :)

“Gosh, I look great! I’m going to take a picture of myself” My favourite moment of all your videos yet! It brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for modelling true self-love. And you are right! You looked absolutely stunning in that dress! It was made for you!!!!

Love you telling people to go away if they don't enjoy your content.

Never seen anyone suit every single dress in the closet before. You look amazing in all of them.

Been dressing by colour of the month for years; Jan black and white, Feb blue, March silver & grey, April Green, May lavender, June Pink, July sky blue, August deep green or multi, September orange, October brown, Nov Purple, Dec red and green. Only one item needs to be the colour so jeans fit all year and sometimes it is just earrings! Advantage is that as a visual learner and scatterbrain it helps organise and makes decisions. As years go by it gets easier as you replace clothes with the right season weight in the relevant colour but it means all my clothes get worn too! Also it's my rule and I can break it if I want too ;)

The most attractive people are the ones who are comfortable in their body! Doesn't have anything to do with numbers on a scale. You are gorgeous 😍

Wowow that red dress with the long flutter cape sleeves!!! So beautiful on you!!

We could not be more different body types if we tried (I’m 6’1”, 132 pounds and trying to gain weight) but what you said about your body is so inspiring. Nobody looks at their body the way that they should, well, except for maybe you. We’re all comparing and contrasting and for some women that proves deadly. Thank you for being so positive and natural that you didn’t make it your entire personality, it’s just who you are- that’s inspiring!

I'm tired of trying on dresses... Immediately tries on another! I love this.

The mushroom kerchief! The white freckles! You are just too freaking cute, lady 🍄🤍

I love and appreciate the positive body image talk. I am a plus size girl that didn't use to be and over the past several years I have gotten very fed up with the idea that if you are over a certain size you should lose weight. I have learned how to embrace my body (mostly, still struggle some days but that's life) and appreciate where I am. When I was thinner I was never satisfied with my body. Learning to be happy with myself at any size has changed my world.

I actually love the whites/pinks and pastel florals on you, like the last eighties dress you tried on. You have a very impressive wardrobe. Lovely and fun!

This red/ maroon floral dress with the flowy arms and the more body-con fit, holy crap! You look like a goddess, it's so amazing to see your radiance shine through, it was so clear how happy that dress made you. And that's what it's all about, clothes that make us happy! Thank you for all your videos, and the body talk in this one was really nice to hear today! ❤ sooo jealous of all your beautiful dresses!

Your body positivity talk is helping me so much in healing how I talk about myself. I love this body, in all it’s different forms. It’s done amazing things. Thank you for sharing with us! You’re like a motivating internet big sis. ❤

This video was so much fun! I literally felt like we were hanging out together and I was helping you organize your dresses. And we would laugh and toss a sock at your hubs each time he came in. You make us feel so comfortable and are so encouraging. Thank you!!

My aunt sewed her own dresses. They were a 50’s or early 60’s style. She made one for me which is still in my closet! ❤️It is a green sleeveless floral with a belt. I’m so thankful for it. I wish I had that talent. There is still hope for the future. Your dresses look so beautiful on you.

"Just here to see pretty dresses." New life motto and goal 😊

I love how you do the cheeks make up like strawberries and I love your channel , love your loving home and the cats ❤

Thank you so much for saying the things that you said. I never felt beautiful or worthy since I gained so much weight over the years. I've always wanted to always wear pretty dresses & feel feminine but never felt like I could be, no matter how many times my husband said that I'm beautiful to him. My ex-husband put me down & we haven't been together in 25yrs but his words still haunt me. I'm trying to see myself the way Jesus & my husband does but it is hard at times. I cried when you said that we are beautiful now. I loved all your dresses & I also watch Inspired by Nikki as well 😊❤

16:03 omg the pink and white is so freaking CUTE! You have a great dress collection and I love watching your videos, very relaxing. 🖤

I really needed to hear the things you said about your body. I've struggled with my body image, eating, exercise, and self-esteem surrounding my body my whole life, so hearing you say the way you treat your body and how you view your body really positively impacted me. So, thank you so much for that. Also, you look absolutely in everything dress! I've never been into dresses for myself, but seeing your dresses is actually inspiring me to consider trying on vintage style dresses.🥰

Yes to ALL of this! The dress montage is wonderful. Bring back dresses and let women celebrate body positivity. I would personally be overwhelmed by sorting and organizing the whole collection as you did but watching it made my day. The best part is watching your enthusiasm. Keep that! Thank you for sharing.

What you said around the 15:00 minute mark, was not only what I needed to hear but so true!! I I have given birth to 4 children and have struggled with my body/weight for as long as I can remember and now I am struggling with weight issues due to an underactive thyroid. Love that you are true to yourself and value what's most important. Thank you for reminding me! ❤

I’m not through the whole video yet, but keep saying out loud to myself “she looks so good in everything she puts on!” I haven’t figured out my sizing for vintage dresses and which ones to look for on eBay or vintage places. I hope to find ONE that looks as cute on me as these all do on you! Also, yes to the metal zipper scariness!! I have, in fact zipped my hip skin into one and it sucked! 😆

I really love the pastels and reds. The pinks and light aqua/teal? really say 50’s to me. They remind me of my grandma.

These dresses are truly beautiful and stylish on Kristina. How lovely those fashions were back then ! I own similar ones too, and would be happy to see girls and women in such styles on the streets, in stores and anywhere else, where other people present ( as opposed to ugly shorts and pajama pants with worn out t-shirts ). Looking at Kristina is a gift for everyone with an artistic eye.

You are beautiful!!! I have body issues & it's encouraging to hear ppl not skinny saying they love & accept their size. Thus is what I love about you.

you should absolutely try to alter the purple flowery dress that appears at 31:30 i think it would turn out amazing!!

I love how you said, our bodies are here to carry us through life and wear pretty dresses 👏 love you friend ♥️

Your collection is amazing! Thank you for sharing your content, and your life with all of us, It is so nice to see someone who is content with being perfectly imperfect instead of putting on a performance for the camera. Thank you for being you and you are absolutely beautiful inside and out, always stay that way. Your confidence inspires me with every video you post.

I think you look beautiful the way you are and you suit your vintage 👗 keep being your best self ,you always cheer me up thank you ❤

Kristina, your wardrobe looks SO CHEERFUL! It was a pleasure to know you were inspired by this monthly color story method. Your stored dresses look great in their pretty blue bins and I’m sure it will be so fun to shop for your new color story next month. Great job merchandising all your happy prints. Just yesterday I felt it was time to curate a new collection and look forward to sharing soon🌹

What a great idea to do this! I’m inspired. Also I loved it when your hubby came in w/food it was so cute.

Wow, you really do have a lot of beautiful dresses! Its actually a myth that women had just a few dresses, ive read in many places women rarely had many clothes. But both my Nans, (who were not rich) for who the 40's and 50's were their young women/hoousewife "golden years", , when they passed away, they hhad rows of wardrobes of day and church dresses. And phootos of my nan in 1969, when she was 45, she had the wholle kit on. Outside the church shes dresed very well, with a hat, gloves, sensible heels and matching handbag. I had only known her as the "farmers wife" workday look. Far taller and vary plus size, she was still so elegant, and you are so ellegant in all of that. Beautiful!

Pretty closet...pretty dresses...pretty lady....thank you for sharing not only your ideas, wardrobe, and storage techniques...but also thank you for sharing your heart...All the best...

Man you have beautiful dresses! They are all delightful

All the beautiful color! Your husband must just love coming home to you!

LOL Kristina, you are adorable! I actually loved this video. Your thought process is inspiring to me.

Navy is my go to neutral. It looks great with red, pastel blue, yellow, pastel pink, mauve, gray, white, spring green, forest green and it flatters my skin tone. I wear it year round.

Ok, let’s talk about how great your channel is for a minute…this was the first channel where I felt like my house is not necessarily out of the norm. The first video of yours that I saw was a cleaning one and it looked like my house. Previously I had felt like there must be something wrong with me and no one’s house looked like mine. Maybe needing some paint touched up, dust, lots of things I’ve collected and love. Now you just said another thing that makes me feel seen (as they say). It seems everyone else says you shouldn’t hang onto things if they no longer fit, but you just pointed out that you can hang onto things you love, knowing that your body changes. I have done that and fit back into things after years and love them! Thank you for putting that out into the universe for others to hear. 🙌🏾✨ Thank you for all you do with your platform. Also, (said this before) screw the haters. They suck and should go somewhere else to judge.

I am in love with the red dress! You look amazing in it. .. I love all of your dresses

My dear Kristina , I feel as if I know you. Am so happy you have a new video with all your beautiful dresses. I find that that you have a child like quality that's so difficult to find this days. I perceive how genuine you are. I love to watch you share you're life with the public. I want you to know that I truly , 100 percent appreciate your sincerity and love. You're right your beautiful in any size and obviously like am trying you've also learned to see the big picture in life. And that is contentment within our family and purpose in life. Thank you for being you. Loren

You are 100% influencing me to go looking for fruit printed dresses.

I love that wraparound dress! I could stop right there.

❤ you are part of my inspiration to wear more dresses!

Fantastic video!! You so clearly love vintage dresses!! Your willingness to be your authentic self is so refreshing. Having been too tall and too heavy all my 77 years, your genuine acceptance of your body gives me courage to dress more my real self. You go girl!

Thank you for being you. I love how much you love yourself. That is such a *massive* struggle for me. I aspire to be like you. Your videos always bring joy to my day. I love putting on your videos when I'm cleaning or cooking, because it feels like having a friend right there with me. It helps with my executive dysfunction. And it's so refreshing to see a real person living and loving the same lifestyle as me. So thank you for everything!

I love that your confident in your own body. You’re beautiful those dresses fit you lovely 😊

You are absolutely lovely! Thank you for sharing this. ❤

🙋‍♀️❤️. Confidence, and comfort in your own skin is what makes you beautiful. And, you are!⚘️

You are so wonderful Kristina. I hope you know how precious you are. I could listen to you and watch you try on dresses all day ❤

What a beautiful collection of dresses. Such fun to see you model them and it motivated me to put the heavy winter wools and sweaters in storage and start spring summer colors. That red flowered chiffon like dress is gorgeous on you. You are so much fun to watch and learn from. Thanks you. Hugs.

You are a beautiful human inside and out. Such a breath of fresh air in the space.

Your girls are going to grow up so mentally healthy and positive about their bodies. That is awesome!

I love your videos, Inspired by Nikki and Lizzy In Lace, I binge watch your channels. You all have inspired me to change the decor of my house, my makeup and for the past two years I only wear skirts and dresses and I love the journey that Im on. I am 47 years old, and thank you so much for inspiring me.

OMG! You have the most beautiful collection of dresses! I love your channel!

You have such a joyful wardrobe!!❤❤❤

Thank you for giving me the push I needed to buy more dresses I feel good in. I’m a mother of 5, I have a belly and I’m visually impaired and have ADHD. I LOVE vintage dresses and do have a couple, but was always so worried that I looked silly or that those styles of dresses weren’t for women like me. Seeing how much joy you get from your clothes and actually hearing you say, “I have a lot of kids and I have a belly” actually brought tears to my eyes because I can finally give myself permission to enjoy my wardrobe and wear what I love.

Loved it!!!! Thank you!!

I can’t believe you don’t just slap one of these on each day and not even care about hair/makeup! So many cute dresses, you’re giving me some real inspiration for making/thrifting dresses!! I loooooove the strawberry ones. I’m a bit obsessed with strawberries and even Joann has a lot of berry patterns 🙂🙂🙂🙂 I definitely wear dresses with gaping buttons….its just a thing people with boobs have to do lol

You are beautiful not just because of how you look, but because of your attitude and your personality ❤️

I love that red/maroon floral dress with the flutter sleeves, you look stunning

I've been waiting to catch up on some videos and I always love watching your channel! It's like catching up with a friend! You're a mom with real interests that align with mine, and stopping into watch your videos recharges me. I don't dress entirely vintage, but I do wear a fair amount of dresses and love having functioning pieces that fit my body and make me feel beautiful today (especially when I'm outside or cooking). I have more self love for myself today than I did 10 years ago when I met my husband. I feel like a happier version of myself today and while not every day is perfect, I love that I get to feel happy as a go along in life. Sending many virtual hugs from one neurospicy mom to another 🧡

I am so happy I found your channel. I love your love-your-body message. I'm literally crying. I'm also a mother of 5 and nursed each of them. My kids are older now and I've been struggling with finding my identity again as a woman and not just a mom. I love vintage fashion and am trying to build a wardrobe. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing.

I love how you two have the Pioneer Woman bedspread too :) I love it and got it on clearance for $11(and a king, which is our bed size)!

You have an amazing collection of dresses! And your words on body positivity and life is exactly what I needed to hear for my own insecurities ❤❤

Watching your content is such a delight! ☀️

I can tell that the red dress with the flowing sleeves makes you feel like an absolute goddess. You should definitely find time to wear it out and about soon. Maybe you and your husband need to schedule a date night?

It’s so surprising how tiny the dresses are when they are folded down, because they have such beautiful shape and structure when you’re modeling them! The craftsmanship is truly amazing on these pieces!❤

The cabin i recently moved into is called the Granite Rose. Im using that as inspo to lean into the rose garden and cottage core vibe. You are so lovely!

Thank you for your positive messages. ❤

You are awesome Kristina. I love that you love your beautiful collections, overflowing, even literally, with prettiness, fun, and love. :) Life is so short, and there are so many unavoidable hardships in this world that we all have to face, that I believe that whatever big or small everyday things we can find to bring us joy should be wholeheartedly embraced. For some people that is to be minimalist and have lots of sleek clean spaces around them, with neutral soothing colors and not a speck of clutter. And for others, it's being surrounded by the things you love peeking or bursting out of every nook and cranny, full of fun and color. And they are both ok and beautiful. I hope you always find joy in being exactly who you want to be, and don't ever let what silly people say get you down. You're wonderful. :)

Thank you for being you❤! I’ve recently gained weight and have been struggling. I just turned forty and was a little down but you’ve changed my view on my “new” body❤❤❤❤

I also use bins! I only keep what I’m actually wearing in my closet. I pick from my bins a combo of what fits my current size and the current weather… as well as my current vibe 😎 It’s really nice to go shopping in my bins when it’s time for a new vibe. It creates so many opportunities to walk down memory lane!

I loved this video. Beautiful dresses, beautiful message.

What a fun video! You have a beautiful collection of dresses❤

Love your collection! You have so many beautiful garments. Good choice to sell some things. I find if I don't absolutely love something, I am happier if I let it go. The space it opens up gives me joy!

First in line on the red and white dress in the beginning if it ever goes away🤣...never get rid of the strawberries house dress ever I love it.

You are inspiring me frind. As a child of the '70's, it was all about jeans for me and I've been a pant lady since, but you are amazing with your collection. You look lovely and elegant. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

I just want to say that I love how you talk about your body. Thank you! (I suffered from ED for a long time, so I find this really comforting and positive)

Loved the video!! I think you are very pretty and I love that your attitude is so nice to see from a young lady!! I hate that people think that you have to be a certain size to be pretty!!🤗

This was so fun :) I love watching people play dress up :) It’s like hanging out with friends. Also, I love the family interruptions. My toddler likes to wear my 1940s repro shoes while I get ready normally. It keeps her entertained :)

Cool whites vs warm whites and creams. That seems to be the spring vs summer split. I admittedly default to black, dark blue, and dark jewel tones year round, but I can see the appeal of colors for the season 🤔 Also the red dress with the impromptu photo session is beautiful, and it does look great The maroon one with the starburst print (or studs) toward the end is also gorgeous!

I just thoroughly enjoyed this whole video! Pretty dresses, pretty lady, sweet family!

Your closet is a dream!!! You make every one of them look amazing.

Dear Kristina, You have so beautiful personality. I like and love it. Thank you. ❤

Its so lovely to see you get so excited about how you look in your dresses!! Its so beautiful.

My first time watching your channel and you are a delight! Thank you for the body talk, it really made me feel good and I love all the pretty dresses!

You and all these dresses are beautiful! Your videos are always so calming:)

I love how happy some of those dresses make you feel. ❤ Just awsome!

Love your attitude and confidence!! You are so inspirational!!!

So many pretty dresses!

You have the most beautiful wardrobe!

I love your vintage stay at home mommy content

Your collection is absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍

I love your positive talk! I don’t think we should even be commenting on peoples bodies because so many other things are so much more important. Anyway, this video gave me the go ahead and pep talk I needed to just buy the thrift dresses that I see that I love no matter what my teenage kids think or if they side eye me. If I love them I’m buying them from now on. I know I should have just done that, but I want you to know you helped me with this video to just be myself. So thank you!!! And God bless you!!!!

You are absolutely beautiful! I’m so happy to see the confidence you have regarding your body!

I love that housecoat!

Ohhhh the self love with the maroon dress!!! Maybe a body positivity with the gorgeous kids because that friend is a whole circle of beautiful growth.

Such agreat idea to sort and store by color thats what I'm doing even with my shoes. This really works for me because im a matching person. And i too have a huge clothing and shoes, boots, and vans collection
