I work amongst gossipy women and they are so catty and mean. Thumbs up to you for your quote to live by! Another thing, I LOVE ladylike! Here's to the return of the "REAL" woman. Good job with your videos, I love it! :-)

[thoserubyslippers]

Do you show the dresses you make in videos?

[elegantlyamused]

@thoserubyslippers No, most of them I show on my blog. :)

Is this Revlon's Soft Coral on your lips, Casey?

I love your look here! So romantic.

[elegantlyamused]

@ashers303 It's "Kiss Me Coral". :)

[littlered1925]

You're so relatable! Definitely down to earth and not gossipy!!! :D Haha.

You and all the other vintage and thrifty gals are insipiring me to make videos! Thanks so much and continue to make amazing videos!!!

[belladonna2007]

I'm a beginning to learn how to sew. Can you suggest a pattern (preferably one I can access from the internet) for a simple sewing project? Preferably something vintage inspired like a skirt? I love all your vids: thrifting and hairstyles.

[elegantlyamused]

@belladonna2007 If you check out my blog (link in my profile) I posted about a purple 1/2 circle skirt I made this week that was super easy, cute and had a vintage flair! :) That might be a great starting point...

[MartyMcChasey]

You are my favorite person to watch on youtube. I love your style so much. Everytime you upload a thrifting video it makes me want to get out and go thrift. When i see theres a new video by you in my sub box i get so excited! Wish I could rock the red lips like you do. You always looks so stunning. :)

[sonyafby]

really enjoyed this video. have you seen the videos lisa eldridge did on vintage makeup? they're fascinating and lisa and madeline (her fashion historian friend) are women after your own heart!

[elegantlyamused]

@sonyafby I just discovered Lisa's channel a couple weeks ago and have been hooked! :) Love her videos!

[mineraljunkie]

you are so adorable and genuine! i love your videos. just curious since you mentioned formaldehyde.. what are your thoughts on bakelite?

[midnightspyjamas]

Hi! I usually use black liquid eyeliner for the top of my eyelids, much like you have in this video, but I'm a bit over liquid eyeliner and am thinking of getting a pencil eyeliner instead. I was wondering what the difference in looks would be... would it be right that liquid eyeliner would look more professional, fancy, and pencil would look more casual, natural?

I like to dress in a vintage/hippy style, so I'm hoping that pencil eyeliner will look more natural not so 'made up'? (for top lids)

[elegantlyamused]

@midnightspyjamas I have a black pencil liner for days that I want a more casual/less precise look. It's great for creating smudgy lines too. Doing a winged style with a pencil liner is a bit tricky, as it tends to smudge easily (set with some black eyeshadow to prevent this after application), and doesn't give the precise line that liquid does. But for a less "done up" look, it does the trick! Also, if you're looking for a more natural look, I'd recommend a brown liquid or pencil liner. :)

[midnightspyjamas]

@elegantlyamused Thankyou so much! <3

[ashers303]

I love your videos!! So inspirational.

I have always wondered though, what you do as a career. Oh and if you're married and have a family yet. =)

[elegantlyamused]

@ashers303 You can check out my blog for more about me. :)

[danilynn13th]

OMG my favorite number is 3 too!! nd i loveee the40's & 50's era!!!!<3

[ssmclean22]

Great video! Butter nail varnish is sooo expensive but sooo worth it <3 I bought a glitter ruby red colour after seeing it and then dreaming about it! It reminds me of Dorothy's ruby slippers :-D

[elegantlyamused]

@ssmclean22 I know! I'm officially hooked! If nothing else it doesn't smell as bad as most polishes do! ;)

[misaki52008]

you are gorgeous, u should be a model!!

[phoebemet]

Would love to see a tutorial for your eye makeup! I have Bobbi Brown's long-wear gel eyeliner and I'm exploring lots of new styles with it and having a ball.

[elegantlyamused]

@phoebemet If you check out the "Everyday Vintage Makeup" video it's similar to the look I'm wearing in this one (with just the addition of blush and bronzer for contouring). :)

[fee15bucket]

heyy! when you've altered the skirt can you please show it in a video? i think it's beautiful i really would like to see how it looks when you're done with it.

anyway loved the video! x

[TheOpenSummerBreeze]

I loved what you were wearing :) really cute

[W0lvesi]

You are truly one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen!

I absolutely adore all of your videos and your style. ♡

[EUROBABY1987]

You should totally do more videos! Love them! A house/room tour would be fab! =}

[EUROBABY1987]

You should do more videos like a house tour! I bet you have tons of cool vintage/ antique things around!

[meohmy217]

Will always love your style. Keep coming out with videos. Always look forward to watching them. :)

[babyrelacon]

[StarspangledHeart]

I really enjoyed this! I wouldn't have pegged you for diving with sharks kind of gal, but people are always more interesting than they seem. :)

[lookunderhere]

You are so cool. and awesome!

And beautiful (:

[jsutkissmyfrog]

yeey!!! I think my fastest response yet!:D loved hearing more about you:) I agree about the gossip, I live in a house of 7 girls and its a headache trying to avoid it, it makes me sad:( I do get pulled in sometimes and I just feel the worse for it:( ALSO, I've been trawling your blog finally and I LOVE it! especially love the 'blogging without shame' piece, your coolness points just trippled in my book!:D you are ace :) x

[elegantlyamused]

@jsutkissmyfrog I was just so excited that I was tagged that I did it right away! ;) lol. Yeah, the gossip thing is something I've gotten sucked into before as well, and just really hate how I feel after. Which is partly why I try so hard not to get involved (but like I said, I'm fair from perfect! ;). Glad you liked that piece on body image/blogging w/o shame! :) I was just so amazed by the comments and feedback. I wish I could figure out how to translate something like that into a video...

[Boogieforme]

Thrifting since 20 years? You are either thrifting from a very young age, or you look astonishingly young. I love your videos even though I don't use make up very often, vintage is awesome!

[elegantlyamused]

@Boogieforme I'm nearly 26; I started thrifting/yardsaling with my mom when I was 6 or 7. :D

[fdoeppen]

I love muscle cars, but I get car sick when I go to the race track with my husband. :(

Besides that, I think we are very similar, you are a younger, prettier, better version of me :)

I love to follow you here (youtube), blog and Flickr.

[MissGoldenDreams13]

@elegantlyamused: Just a random question: You mentioned a couple months ago on your blog that you visited the Ava Gardner Museum in North Carolina back in December. (I ask because I was there on December 1st. And didn't you love that red silk dress of hers they had on display?)

[elegantlyamused]

@MissGoldenDreams13 Yes I did! I saw several of her clothes there that were to die-for!!! ;)

[SavedbyGodsGrace04]

Love your hair! Can you do a tutorial on the hairstyle?

[elegantlyamused]

@SavedbyGodsGrace04 It's super-duper simple! I'll keep it in mind for something quick to record soon. :)

[brokendisease]

I'm enjoying how you're making videos more frequently lately :)
