I think my favorite is "why are you dressed like that?" Makes me want to ask them the same thing. You look great!

I'm fifteen, and I'm regularly shy when it comes to wear something that it's not trendy. But seeing you, makes me wanna show myself wearing this kind of clothes. Regarding to what you say about clothing critisism, well, you have to admit that every great designer had to go through all this stuff too. Even more, when you are criticized is because you are calling their attention and somehow they also have to express their opinion, either they are against or not. So you have yo fell happy they have their eyes on you, althouth I know it may be irritating. Finishing all, I love and look up to your look. I hope you continue well, kisses from Argentina.MLQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064825259362716312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-38444080839346225182010-10-13T07:58:19.791-07:002010-10-13T07:58:19.791-07:00I have a lot of vintage Girl Scout uniforms, but I...I have a lot of vintage Girl Scout uniforms, but I've never seen that one!

I don't dress vintage, but I am forever annoyed with the comments for the clothes I do wear. Especially when someone asks me why I am so dressed up and I feel I look pretty casual; casual for me that is. Just because what I wear is different from what most others would doesn't mean I'm seeking attention or have opened myself up for commentary.<br /><br />Thank you for posting this.claire lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594309498350629566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-20099420101063205422010-10-07T18:52:18.091-07:002010-10-07T18:52:18.091-07:00:-) Hi Solanah!

Good on your for flying the Vintage Flag and inspiring people to be proud of being different!<br /><br />It's tragic how so many people don't make the effort to present themselves well (ie. not sloppy, slutty, or blindly consumeristic).<br /><br />I wish there was a bigger vintage movement here in Australia. The vintage trend here is highly commercialized and more the "mod-rock"/"flower-child" look and usually linked to nightclub/youth music scene.<br /><br />Thank you for your wonderful blog, it takes me to a sweeter, gentler era and reminds us old-time loving gals that we're not alone!Aussie Bachelorettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854992322757514445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-29148939367404553262010-10-07T10:51:22.212-07:002010-10-07T10:51:22.212-07:00LMSO!

All the 'lollipop' girls (super skinny with big heads...you've seen them I'm sure) give me the rude up-and-down evaluation in the elevator every day (usually with a nasty smirk). It used to bug me but now I just look them in the eye and give them my best smile.

The issues you've pointed out in your post are the very same which deter me from embracing my love for vintage. At the moment I am just experimenting with vintage styles by wearing modern day pieces in different ways, but one day I hope to start a real vintage wardrobe and not care about stupid people asking stupid questions!Harlow Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056854974745972300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-38521854910758609802010-10-05T23:38:02.470-07:002010-10-05T23:38:02.470-07:00I hear ya.
