VINTAGE STYLE CLOSET INVENTORY | How to Create a Vintage Style You'll Actually Wear

Time for my favorite kind of video — a closet tour! Seriously, I can watch closet inventories 👏🏻 all 👏🏻 day 👏🏻 long.

I’ve been feeling kinda stuck in my style journey and making this video was a good reminder of the things I already have and now I’m motivated to go through my fabric stash and make more things I know I’ll wear, rather than shopping.
