When It Comes To Fashion,

regarding clothes,

what you are wearing can be out of fashion by the time the next magazine hits the Internet, but Mila Povoroznyuk, a young girl from the Ukrainian city of Vinnitsa has a remarkably neat and elegant answer to that problem, photographs, Mila Povoroznyuk/Facebook,

 instead of trying to keep up, Mila decided to go back to a time that will never go out of fashion – the style of the late 19th century,

for the past few years, she has replaced her fairly mundane wardrobe with vintage attires, including long dresses, corsets, all sorts of elegant hats and footwear from the late Victorian Era,

“First I started wearing a vintage blouse, then a skirt, and somehow such vintage clothing items gradually started filling up my closet,” Mila Povoroznyuk told Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. “And I noticed that I increasingly chose them in everyday life, over my regular wardrobe. I felt more comfortable, more confident in such clothes, and now I practically dress like this every day.”

Mila Povoroznyuk’s vintage wardrobe currently numbers over 100 items, from various time periods, but most are inspired by the fashion of the late 18th century and early 19th century, a time when, according to the young Ukrainain, women looked “healthy and beautiful”, didn’t plaster their faces with layers upon layers of makeup,

Mila finds a lot of blouses and shoes in second-hand shops, and she sews the rest of the clothes herself, taking inspiration from old books. As for the accessories, she finds vintage items in personal collections of likeminded enthusiasts, and buys them from flea markets, Mila has been dressing almost exclusively in vintage attires dating back to the 19th century for the last two years, and calls herself the “vintage lady”. She has been making sewing tutorials and photos of her vintage wardrobe online, and has built an impressive following on Instagram, what a elegant way to keep in timeless fashion.
