      I did see a few weeks ago that the admin in the modcloth facebook group was contacted by the new owners wanting feedback from previous customers which I thought wasn't a terrible idea. Most said to rewind about 5 ish years, and bring back all the vintage inspired styles. My 2 cents was tell them to employ a small but educated team who are more in touch with their target market than the previous owners - clearly lol. I think you would be a great footwear advisor because that collection was magnificent!

      I am a new subscriber because of this video. I’ve never seen any of your others but I am going to watch them
      you have a very gentle lovely tone. Please never apologize for having such a beautiful collection nobody should tell another how to spend their money if this brings you joy especially during these difficult times then you should have it !!everyone spends money on different things whether it be clothing/ entertainment /their children/ their pets/ drinking eating etc. it gave me a lot of pleasure to see all of the various styles you’ve collected over the years!! Because of health issues sadly I have not been able to have the joy of wearing beautiful shoes anymore.
      little by little I’ve had to sell mine and opt for more of the dowdy ugly comfort shoes if it were up to me I would have all of the Zara or Valentino stiletto shoes and wear them every day!!
      Also just FYI it looks like there are a few pairs of the Marilyn pumps in black on American duchess in a few sizes in case anyone wants to snap them up also in green. Take care and thank you so much🥿👠👡👢👞👟

    I've just noticed that most of the people I've subscribed and really enjoy watching, these people are tend to have collections of something, - though their collections are not the reason I've started to watch them in the first place, - and are rather "maximalists", as you call yourself with a little bit of shame. I think the people with lots of stuff like that are very cozy, sentimental, and carring, and have a passion for stuff, and often cry watching a movie - not many people can feel such strong emotions and compassion towards some fictional characters, you know) so I think you're beautiful and wholesome with all that shoes you carefully collected over the years and you shouldn't be ashamed of it at all) just be yourself :)

    Don't feel guilty about the cost. It is a wonderful collection of shoes that WAS VERY HARD TO FIND! It's hard looking and being able to find right accessories for an outfit. It takes a few years to coordinate an outfit on your tight budget. It's easy to go into a high-end store and buy it all at once when price is not a concern. Your vlog was so much fun to watch.

    I too have a pair of hot pink beaded shoes I bought when I was in Turkey 15 years ago. I no longer love the look of them but I can't part with them for sentimental reasons.
    I am like you. I buy shoes that I fall in love with when they are on sale and keep them for a decade or more. The only ones I cycle through a lot are my tennis shoes. But since I only wear some of my shoes a couple times a year they last years and years. I usually buy at the end of a season to get the best price on all my shoes and clothes. As long as you select classic looking stuff it will be useful the following year.

    Hi, I always thought that a love for shoes were mandatory for a real proper lady. I see no reason to feel bad about having more than three pairs of shoes. Most of them were either a very good brand that will be nice for a lifetime or so, the others were in the collection for sentimental reasons. To me it seems to be a well curated collection, and there were, in my opinion, no evidence of misappropriation of funds, so enjoy without guilt. And most of all, enjoy without giving a flying...manure...to what anyone else thinks. I love the American Duchess of course, but who dosen't. The other brands I have to look into as there is nothing like those in the wold I live in. Yours, Ann
    Edit: By the way what was the proper way to wear open toes or sandaly types of shoes in their era? Would you wear them with stockings, or without? Does anyone know? The navy pumps look very much like my mother's shoes from her graduation as a nurse in 1963 except maybe a little difference in the shape of the heel. They wore a very special kind of uniform in black. Very formal, and as far as I know she stil has saved the uniform, including the real silk stockings she wore with it.
    Re: The scuff mark I've done that with a pair of patent leather shoes that I love. I took them to a real shoe cobbler and they were able to fix them up, so now you can't even see were the mark was. Just an idea. Again: Yours, Ann

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  4 года назад +8

      Thank you! They would wear stockings with everything even opened toed shoes as far as I can tell from photos and my vintage catalogs. The catalog pages always seem to show stockings on, or at least they didn't draw in toes so I have to assume they must!

My aunt once told me that if she liked a shoe, she got it in every color -- and I agree. Personally, there are four pair of shoes I'm still looking for -- an Easter blue and an Easter pink patent pump, a pair of saddle shoes, and a pair of purple suede heels. I cast no shade at your number. If shoes were songs in a hymn book, I would be into the Christmas Carols the number I have. LOVE this video, and you, and your shoes! Stay well!!

I swore that one day I would wear a pair of pumps like those...and I did, when I turned 40 I was able to buy a pair. Can't wear heals over 2" now, so no more spikes for me. They are beautiful though. Thanks for doing this video. The saddle shoes look alot softer than the ones I had to wear in grade school!!

      Thank you Becky! BAIT usually do an amazing Black Friday sale so I have to stay awayyy eek ;)

    Whaoooo! Confirms my suspicion. Fashion was far more elegant and glamorous in from the 30’s to the 50’s.

    I dig your style so much! It's exact and it's you! The makeup, hair, clothes and even shoes apparently😄 It's really very incredible ✌️

    No need to feel bad for talking about your collection (you are not bragging) and I'd like to add, spending money on shoes is not impractical or bad, after all, shoes are pretty essential.

    Thank you for showing your collection. Don’t feel bad for it. It’s quite enjoyable to look at and I got some inspiration for potential future buys. :)

    Love this collection! I'm more of a boot collector, since I live in what even other Canadians consider "the north", but those candy apple red shoes.... oh my.

    I have to laugh because I watched this entire video and am thinking...Ah yes, 34,000 other woman just as obsessed with vintage shoes as myself (views on your video.) Thanks for sharing and for linking up to the ones still available!!! I think I might snatch up those Chelsea Crew Lana shoes as they are currently on sale and those were some of my fave in your collection!

    Made my afternoon. I held on to a pair of black patent leather pumps for years that did not fit when I bought them. I just loved the idea of them I guess. Thanks.

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  4 года назад

      Thank you Lynn! I may have replaced my black patent shoes since this video already...I bought a different pair from BAIT on sale, in their more sandalish style I prefer, and they are sooo much more comfortable. The ones in this video will be heading to the charity shop instead in afraid!

    This was a real treat. Thank you for sharing your shoe collection with us. I had to laugh, I was thinking that very thing, when you said for those with a foot fetish, lol. Nicely done.

    You can move the buttons on American Duchess shoes to help make them fit better (I believe they have a tutorial on their website) it might not fix all the fit problems, but at least make them more wearable? Your shoe collection is amazing!

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  4 года назад

      Luckily they are still totally wearable now, and I can slip them on without having to do the buttons which is actually kinda nice ha! One day I'll get myself a proper button hook and fit them up!

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  4 года назад

    Shoes are my favorite accessory, you are not alone in a thorough collection .. Do you have any vintage sunglasses?

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  4 года назад +2

      I don't have any vintage sunglasses, but I have some retro style ones from a shop on Etsy called Sunglass Museum! :)

    American Duchess was posting so many sale alerts on Instagram at the end of 2020. It was heartbreaking to know it was a heck of a deal but still far far out of my reach. The Marilyn in blue and then red hit the hardest.

  • @amymerrill5758

    I love Royal Vintage/American Duchess shoes. I have a few pairs and they are so comfortable.

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  4 года назад

      Agreed, I can't wait for them to come out with more styles in the future

  • @strangeamanda7470

    Strangely interesting seeing someone’s shoe collection. Not that you probably care but these are my favourites 5, 6, 13, 28,50, 53, 54, and a big yay! For the Bladerunner styles. My shoes are mostly flat Oxford brogues (In varying colours) apart from a few boots. 💖

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  4 года назад +1

      Thank you! I love a flat oxford brogue, I need to pick some up to wear with my 40's trousers!

      Ok also, I just bit the bullet and ordered the black Marilyn pump from American Duchess. Probably will be my most versatile shoe and I plan to make it last many years. Next on my list is the brown spectator pump. 😍 and maybe someday brighter, more frivolous pair...
