One of the easiest ways to get into vintage fashion is to recreate outfits seen in vintage magazines. I have an ever-growing collection of magazines from 2000-present, and I love looking at them. They’re like time capsules! With that in mind, here are a few storage options and actual magazines you can use to recreate vintage-inspired looks.
Shop the Look:
–Storage Option 1: Wayfair, $47.99 (Color: Pink)
–Storage Option 2: Wayfair, $25.99 for set of 6 (Color: Black/White)
This outfit is inspired by the cover of Teen Magazine, January 2001.

–Curtain: Kashi Home, $8.99 (Color: Burgundy)
I’ve been watching a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer lately, and I can say with confidence that not only are the vampires slain but Buffy and crew also slay the fashion game. This is 90s fashion in its purest form – tiny sunglasses, leather on leather on leather, animal prints, graphic tanks, etc.
This particular outfit is inspired by Darla, one of the vampires making trouble for Buffy. She, as Angel later notes, has a very “Catholic-school girl vibe” going on. Without further ado….
Shop the Look:
–Top, WalMart, $3.83 (Color: White/Black)
–Cardigan, Wish, $6.00 (Color: Black)
–Skirt, Wish, $3.00 (Color: Black)
–Shoes, Wish, $8.00 (Color: Black)
–Pin, TeePublic, $2.00 (Size: Small)
–Blush, Wish, $2.00 (Color: Butterflies)
I’m starting a new series where I explore fashion from the early 2000s and beyond using old magazines as inspiration. I am going to bring these outfits up to date by modernizing them a bit but retaining their essence. These posts will be tagged accordingly under “Flashback Fashion” and “2000s” or the appropriate decade. It is a little more modern than the typical vintage posts, but I love the idea of using all of my old magazines as inspo. Hopefully readers enjoy it as much because it’s been a lot of fun to make these!
To start, I’ve used an outfit from Teen magazine, January 2001, as worn by Mandy Moore. This was back in Mandy’s blonde “Candy” days. She is wearing a Jessica McClintock top & ABS by Allen Schwartz pants. Here is an updated version of her look!
