What Not to Wear has been one of my favorite shows since it's been on TV. Tonight, they made over a woman that dressed in head to toe vintage. At first all I could think was, "Oh no, don't do it!" but it ended pretty well, I thought. They actually let the woman keep a good chunk of her vintage wardrobe, and even used her own vintage clothing in some of the clothing examples for outfits she should look for. In the end, she still had some good vintage pieces, but they showed her how to pair them with modern clothing. They also had some of her vintage tailored so it would look as good as possible. I have no problem with people who want to wear head to toe vintage, a piece or two, or no vintage at all, but I personally think she looked much better after the makeover. I was really excited to see the end result. Did anyone see tonight's episode? What were your thoughts?
I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but I have it on my PVR and I can't wait to watch. I'm really excited about it now!

Oh no way! I always wondered if they would do that!
ReplyDeleteI was so stoked to see that too! I loved so many of her things. Wish I could find that trash can,

I saw the previews for that episode but I forgot to watch dang it. Did she wear really old vintage or just things from like the 60s and 70s? It looked like those were the eras of her clothes in the commercials but I wasn't sure. I'm glad it worked out because I was concerned that they were going to make fun of her for her clothing choices
ReplyDeleteMost of them were 60s/70s but she had some stuff that was older. I think they let her keep more of the older stuff as long as it was in good shape and fit well. They went pretty easy on her, and weren't as "catty" as they are sometimes
ReplyDeleteOh and next week, they're doing two punk-rockers which I would like to see but I'll be back at school and cable-less
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think she looked great afterwards. I have no problem at all when people mix vintage & modern. I'm not much a of a purist :)
ReplyDeleteI want to see this! I wish I had cable :(
