Okay, so it’s Throwback Thursday, and I decided to try some old-school outfits. I figured, why not share the whole process with you guys?
Digging Through the Closet
First things first, I dug through my closet. And man, I found some stuff I totally forgot I had. I even asked my dad for some of his old clothes – that was a goldmine! He had these wide-legged trousers that were just screaming to be worn again.
The 70s Look
So, I started with a 70s vibe. I paired those wide-legged trousers with a turtleneck I found. I have to say, it looked pretty good! It was like stepping back in time. I added a wide belt to cinch the waist, really accentuated that 70s silhouette. I thought I nailed it, to be honest.
Accessories are Key
Then I remembered something I read online – accessories can make or break a vintage look. So I spent a good amount of time picking out the right stuff. I found this old watch of my grandpa’s and some vintage-looking rings. It really pulled the whole outfit together, made it look more authentic, you know?
Hair and Makeup
Next, I worked on my hair. I tried to style it in a way that matched the 70s vibe. It took a while, and I had to use a ton of hairspray, but it was worth it. I didn’t do much with makeup, just a bit of grooming to look presentable.
The Rule of Thirds
I also kept in mind this “rule of thirds” thing I read about. The idea is to highlight one part of your outfit and tone down the rest. So, I made sure the focus was on my upper body with the turtleneck and accessories. I kept the bottom simple with the trousers and some plain shoes. It’s all about balance, I guess.

Final Touches
After all that, I took a final look in the mirror. The outfit looked pretty solid. I felt like I was ready to rock that Throwback Thursday look. I even took some pictures to document the whole thing.
- Choose a decade that resonates with you.
- Combine vintage pieces with modern items for balance.
- Accessorize thoughtfully to enhance the retro vibe.
- Style your hair and makeup to match the chosen era.
- Apply the rule of thirds for a visually appealing look.
It was a fun experiment, trying out these throwback outfits. It made me appreciate the fashion from back in the day. Plus, it was a nice change from my usual style. Might do it again sometime!
