I like all the points you made, and can relate to them as well.<br />Not the same, but related to number 4- I used to work in a tile store, and I always surprised the customers (usually contractors) because I was wearing 40's workwear style dresses and skirts, and carrying around bags of mortar and boxes of tile! :) Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850447706684871976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-63328089782488220482017-10-16T12:05:30.499-05:002017-10-16T12:05:30.499-05:00That's so amazing!

Personally, I went to a military high school (boarding school) and we did all the drills and training, wore the complete uniforms etc... it was a gruelling experience but taught me to be disciplined. I enjoyed this post.

I haven't had the "girly-girl" assumption made, at least not that I know of, but I also tend to choose vintage and retro styles that are paired down, sometimes even very masculine (trousers, shirt, sweater vest, flat cap), so maybe that's why.Lauren Stowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008240537371936468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-29659765454448495382017-10-08T07:34:59.852-05:002017-10-08T07:34:59.852-05:00I feel you on the unexpected view that a "gir...I feel you on the unexpected view that a "girly-girl" is strong. I don't wear vintage (I like it, but don't have the money and time to invest in it right now) but I love dresses. So every so often I get people who are surprised when I start to lift something really heavy. One guy at a liquor store in middle of nowhere PA visually had his eyes bugged out when I picked up an 24 pack of beer. haha they aren't that heavy, but I guess I was dressed nicely and I had my husband with me so I guess he was expecting him to pick it up.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730633559388953224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-62752432747854231892017-10-08T04:54:28.403-05:002017-10-08T04:54:28.403-05:00Vintage/retro look is often a conversation starter...Vintage/retro look is often a conversation starter, as you said. It also helps people to identify themselves and others with a certain tribe. But I am not a the 60s/70s babe in values either, though I may be in dress sometimes... My mom's experiences from working life in 1970s from womens perspective don't sound that good, even if it all looks groovy in old pictures... :)matkailijakirppuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606336866374286759noreply@blogger.com
