Okay, so, I’ve been totally obsessed with vintage fashion lately, and I decided to go full-on 60s for a week. You know, that whole mod, hippie, everything-in-between era. It was a wild ride, let me tell you!
First things first, I cleaned out my closet. I mean, really cleaned it out. Anything remotely modern got packed away. Then, I hit up some vintage stores and online shops. I was on the hunt for anything that screamed 1960s.
The Mod Look
- Shift Dresses: These were my go-to. Simple, A-line, and oh-so-comfortable. I found a few in bold colors and geometric patterns.
- Mini Skirts: A staple, right? I paired them with some opaque tights ’cause, you know, modesty and all that.
- Go-Go Boots: Okay, I admit, I only wore these a couple of times. They’re not exactly practical for everyday life, but they sure made a statement!
Getting dressed in the mornings was a whole new experience. I realized I own way too many plain t-shirts and jeans. It actually felt good to put some thought into my outfits. Putting on some bold, colorful outfits really boosted my mood in the morning.
The Hippie Vibe
- Boho Dresses: Flowy, floral, and freeing. I felt like a flower child in these.
- Wide-Leg Pants: Bell-bottoms, baby! I paired these with some fitted tops to balance out the look. I also picked up some muted-color wide-leg jeans that are a bit more subtle.
- Earthy Colors: I stuck to browns, greens, and other nature-inspired tones. Tie-dye also made a few appearances.
I tried incorporating some 60’s accessories, like headbands and peace sign necklaces, but they didn’t work out as well as the clothing. A pair of long gloves are added to my daily outfit. Even though they sometimes got in the way, they gave me a unique, retro feel.
Honestly, living in 60s attire for a week was a blast. It was fun, it was different, and it made me appreciate the artistry of vintage fashion. Plus, I got tons of compliments! Would I do it again? Maybe not every day, but I’m definitely keeping some of these pieces in my regular rotation. It’s amazing how a simple change in clothes can totally transform your outlook on the day.
