Favorite Decade for @thevintagefashionchallenge is Favorite Decade for @thevintagefashionchallenge is the easiest (albeit late!) prompt for me. My heart does and will forever belong to the 1950’s. Give me the nipped waist. The Fuller than full skirt. I want the fantasy prints, the rhinestones, the embroidery. Nothing makes my heart skip a beat like walking into a vintage store and seeing Her on the racks. As if she had been patiently waiting for me all this time. 🧡💛 #thevintagefashionchallenge
Day 9 of @thevintagefashionchallenge is neutrals. Day 9 of @thevintagefashionchallenge is neutrals. As much as I LOVE color, I do love a clean palette… #thevintagefashionchallenge
I was equal parts excited and terrified when I got I was equal parts excited and terrified when I got the chance to test out a few patterns from @gertie18 ‘s new book - Gertie’s Glam knits. But was so pleasantly surprised at how quickly the Halter top came together! It also gave me the opportunity to get my stripe matching game face on…
🖤
I like a snug fit, so I went with a size 6/A-C cup for this one - I cut on the bias to allow for the upwards directional stripe, but otherwise needed no other alterations. Thanks to Charm for the free pattern - coming soon to an outfit photo near you!

(I am totally behind due to final exam grading purgatory, but had to throw some of my blue-hued favs out there. Blue is definitely the color that dominates my wardrobe…) #thevintagefashionchallenge
Day 4 of @thevintagefashionchallenge and already b Day 4 of @thevintagefashionchallenge and already behind! (What can I say except: finals week). Today’s prompt is green/yellow - which I’m noticing, I have an abundance of in my closet. 
🍃
Green and yellow are definitely two of my happy colors - they feel hopeful, as if something amazing is right around the corner…

Digging into the archives for Day 3 of @thevintage Digging into the archives for Day 3 of @thevintagefashionchallenge which calls for red/orange. Definitely a color I reach for whenever I’m feeling fiery…. 🌹 #thevintagefashionchallenge
It’s Day 1 (okay 2) of the very best time of year: It’s Day 1 (okay 2) of the very best time of year: @thevintagefashionchallenge 💗! Hello wonderful vintage community. I’m Kara - I’m a scientist/professor/shark biologist, a coffee enthusiast, a collector of 1950’s vintage, and have been sewing more and more of my wardrobe over the last decade. 
💗
I’ve participated in this challenge as long as I can remember, and am always so pulled in by the genuine need we all have for connection. I’m inspired daily by all of your stories, your style, and your verve.
🌸
I sort of started this IG way back when because I needed a space where I could share my non-science loves (and to show that a scientist doesn’t have to look any kind of way). Over the years it has definitely evolved - and helped me to build confidence, build community, and find ways to stage our own mini-rebellions even when we feel powerless. Finding joy in the little things is more important than ever - thank you for the joy you bring to my feed. 
💗
Huge thanks to @iliveinmylab @tinyangrycrafts @kelley.strohm.voss and @vintagefilamglam for their efforts every year to create this space for us! Excited to share the month with you all. #thevintagefashionchallenge
Time to finish this chapter! Today is the last day Time to finish this chapter! Today is the last day of the semester. I don’t know about you, but I am SO READY to turn the page… 🌸
Honeycomb blue, I love you 🩵💙 Honeycomb blue, I love you 🩵💙
