Every once in a very great while, I make a video and upload it to Youtube. (Ha!) The one I just uploaded is featuring a maternity outfit I wore this weekend! It's made of true vintage, reproduction, and me-made garments. It's RIDICULOUSLY comfortable and is going to be perfect when it gets hot this summer.
This month is an AMAZING milestone for Flashback Summer! As of October 17, I have been blogging for five years. FIVE YEARS! Most blogs don't last more than a year, and I'm honored to be celebrating my five year "blogiversary." I laugh now when I got back and look at my first post and, well, pretty much anything from that first year! How far I've come in knowledge, skill, and relationships. It's been an honor getting to know many of you through this blog and sharing my life with you. While I have many changes coming up in my life, I hope that this blog will continue into this future. You guys have made it such a wonderful adventure, and I appreciate every comment, share, and like more than you know. I've got some of my various "first posts" and "top posts" of all time below in case you guys would like to walk down memory road with me. :) Love you guys!
First of all.... I don't know if you've glanced at the header or sidebar since coming to the blog, but you may have noticed a new blog design! It's a far better, more polished version of what I had been trying to do myself, but Brittany brought it to life and un-hokey'd it for me. That being said, I'm still updating and sorting things (especially on the new, more specific pages you can find in the navigation bar), so I appreciate your patience as I catch up on things! NOW, onto the lookbook! This began with a trip to Youtube when I found out there are such things as lookbook videos. (I'm sure most of you already knew of those forever ago, but I'm an old lady and don't catch onto these new-fangled interwebs fads as quickly.) I was APPALLED at the utter lack of vintage lookbooks. (And by "vintage" I mean the kind of vintage that incorporates mid-century and older looks. Not 80s jumpsuits and 90s daisy duke shorts.) So, of course, I had to remedy that. My amazing friend Maureen offered to help me! In this video I've got three looks that I've been wearing this spring. It may look a bit scattered as to the seasonality of each outfit, but that's because Missouri is being RIDICULOUS, as usual, with its spring weather. Only a few days ago I was wearing shorts and sweating, and today I wore a coat to work. Ridiculous. However, this lets you readers in both the northern and southern hemispheres check out some clothing that may fit your current season. I hope you guys enjoy it! (And if you do, please share, comment, etc. to let me know that you do, and I'll be sure to make more of these videos!)
