Well it’s 2014 already. I realize it’s been 2014 for most of you for quite a few weeks now but I took my
Christmas vacation on the 1st of January and have only arrived back
to my house in Korea
so I am starting my resolutions and changes a little later than usual.
2013 was a year of change and adventure. I
was whizzing around the world and turning my life upside down. Unfortunately
when you are packing for a year, vintage clothing is quite heavy and I was
scared to take a lot of it half way across the world. This didn’t completely stop me and I did take a lot with me.
The other thing I discovered when I arrived in Korea was that the extreme
heat/cold means vintage clothing isn’t
that practical. (Trying to wear a corset and waist train in 100% humidity and
40 degree heat wasn’t that enjoyable either)
So 2014 will be my vintage year. I have
brought a lot of my favourite pieces over with me, lots of hair accessories,
pin curl clips, rollers and holding spray. I know the weather now so I think I
can master it a little better the second time around.
So my vintage mission for 2014:
. Stockings – Stocking have fallen off my radar. I brought a few with me but they
were all torn before the first month was through. Now I have a full supply.
.Corset – the waist training is back on. I loved it when I was doing it
before so I am excited to get back into it. I’ve also read that it goes hand in hand with my next number.
.Yoga – I realize this isn’t vintage inspired but it’s my new addiction and I can’t get enough of it. I love how it makes me feel
(and hopefully how it will make me look.) I’m hoping to take some progression shots to see if I can actually
improve over the next few months.
Very very early progression shot. |
. Hair – Come what may THIS year I will master pin curls and a victory roll.
I normally end up as a frizz ball so I really would love to master the skills
of the 40’s
This magazine will send me in the right direction |
. Heels – I never wear them anymore and I use to love the feeling of getting
dressed up so I’m hoping to capture that
again this year.
.Teeth – some pearly white this year will make me feel classy in every era.
Lets do this 2014!
