When you’re getting dressed in the morning, your goal is to wear clothes, not for your clothes to wear you. And if you love vintage fashion, sometimes it can be challenging not to feel like you’re walking off a movie set or cosplaying as a character from another era.
But we love vintage fashion.
So, how can you incorporate vintage into a modern wardrobe? Here are 7 tips.

In this episode, Sarai and Haley talk about how to sew a wardrobe you'll still love in ten years. They cover what makes a garment long lasting—both stylewise and physically—how to choose styles that you'll love to wear for years, and practical tips for making garments that stand the test of time. 

Feel like you’re in a style rut? In this episode, Sarai and Haley show you how to update your wardrobe when your lifestyle, job, body, or sense of style changes.
