CHC Vintage March 2018 Review

Included is this cute card!

There isn’t a traditional information card or invoice included with the subscription box; you get a personalized handwritten card with styling suggestions instead. I love all the styling tips Nicole and her team included! Their selections for me are always so thoughtful too.

I am a fan of shirt dresses because they can be rather versatile pieces. I generally prefer them shorter because you can get more wear from them with different legwear, tights, and shoes, but I love this dress regardless! The color palette used in this dress is gorgeous and is well suited for my hair and complexion. Nicole and her staff are excellent at finding incredibly personalized pieces; I feel like this dress was meant just for me! I also love the retro floral print on this piece - it is so pretty! The dress is a bit loose on me, but that is easily fixed with a belt for much-needed definition. I also styled the dress with my wooden Bad Sandy heels to add to the vintage look and the natural feel of the dress. This dress could be worn with flats, but I feel due to the length that heels are a far more preferable option. This dress will look fantastic with a cardigan, faux leather biker jacket, or a denim jacket. I like the cardigan styling because you could pair this with a number of different color cardigans like black, tan, or a seafoam/teal, olive green, or orange/red to bring out the floral print on this piece. That creates several outfits alone!  In cooler fall months one also could layer a scarf with this dress to help it translate to autumn. I am eager for it to feel like Spring out here (it just snowed… boo hiss) so I can start wearing this gorgeous dress!

Verdict: Once again, CHC Vintage nails it! I am consistently impressed by how considerate and thoughtful the selections are each month for me. They constantly find pieces I would pick out for myself if I were thrifting! I also am always blown away by the high-quality vintage pieces they find me that in plus sizes! Finding plus size, modern pieces is a challenge, but finding vintage plus pieces in good condition is often an even taller order! CHC Vintage manages to be successful with this task every month which makes them such an amazing subscription box!

That dress is just great and the color match to your hair is perfect!

However, as a 50-ish person, I can’t wrap my mind around 1990s being vintage. I think the definition of vintage is 25 years, so it meets the criteria, but still, it hurts! Ha ha. Like the first time being called Ma’am!

Mary, I know this feel all too well! I graduated in 2000 and it pains me to see all the awful trends that I hated them resurfacing. Hahahaha.

That’s the EXACT same thought I had!
The dress looks fantastic on you but damn, I’m old. The 90’s were only about 10 years ago don’t you know?

Teresa

you mean 20years right? We are in 2018, so the 90’s were 18-27years ago so it fits in the vintage

Nicole Rieder

RIGHT?!?!

Everything about this review was such fun. You have such a gorgeous look, like others have said- love your hair and your natural makeup with the earth toned print dress.

I love your clothing reviews, and this one was the prettiest one yet. 🙂 I LOVE that dress on you and the belt is so pretty with it too.

Girl, you look absolutely STUNNING!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ And there’s no way you’re a size 22.

Awe thank you! And you would be suprised! My sizing is all over the place! I have pants in 20-24. Sometimes a very rare 18 in skirts and dresses. This dress was a bit big on me, but the belt helped it fit better.

The dress is too big on you. It seems you need a smaller size. Maybe next time, order one size smaller?

Sweetie, your hair is gorgeous! The dress not my thing. But, the colors play up your beautiful hair. I have boring dark brown hair. A few years ago I got brave and decided to go to a high end salon and color my hair. I wanted to go red. A rich auburn. I was so excited and the anticipation was palatable. As the stylist rinsed out my hair and began to blow it dry I realized that I had spent all afternoon coloring my hair dark brown. Lol That was my first and last attempt at coloring. At the risk of being rude. I apologize ahead of time. Is this your natural hair color?

Nicole Rieder

Awe, sorry you had a bad experience Margie! I am a brunette naturally, but get it professionally dyed. I have had every shade out there, bit this is my favorite by far!
