🌿 About Me

Hi! I'm Dena, the short human behind Psychedelic Aesthetic.

My journey into this little world of vintage, costumes, and handmade treasures wasn’t something I planned—it sorts of unfolded on its own, one lucky step at a time.

It all started years ago, when thrifting was more than a hobby, honestly it was more like a form of therapy. I loved just zoning out while sifting through racks, the joy of stumbling on something strange, beautiful, or completely unexpected. Even if it didn’t fit, I’d fall in love with pieces just for how fun or different they were. Over time, I collected... a lot. Like, a lot a lot. And one day, on a whim, I parked my VW hippie van next to a farmers' market with a rack and a table full of clothing—and to my surprise, it was a hit.

Before that moment, I’d helped a friend who was studying costuming design. She made beautiful period-accurate outfits for the drama department and indie films, and I sometimes modeled for her or helped post listings on her Etsy shop. When she moved away, she passed her curated collection on to me, along with her Etsy shop. That generous handoff became the seed of what Psychedelic Aesthetic would grow into.

Since then, I’ve taken in pieces from old boutiques, refurbished vintage gowns, reimagined forgotten fabrics, and handmade jewelry inspired by everything from fairytales to fungi. My style is a little all over the place—somewhere between cute Lolita lace and frills, gothic witchwear, comfy boho hippie, and Ren Faire costumes and corsets —and I love it that way.

These days, you might find me vending at a rave, flea market, or tucked in the barn on my mom’s property, sorting through my ever-growing collection of weird and wonderful things. Whether it’s a vintage wedding gown, a revamped corset, a mushroom charm necklace, or a fluffy fur jacket —I hope you find something here that makes you feel a little more like you.

Either way, you’re always welcome in my world. ♡

Fill your world with Enchantment!
