A lady has a lot of images! She might be a diva wearing a colorful fur, an elegant lady full of French chic and sometimes a romantic girl from the flower children era. Thanks to my closet (read: A Fashion Time Machine) I can impersonate every single one of them! Today I decided to go back into the depths of history and dig up some of the already forgotten 19th century chic. An incredible jacket came to help – such treasures are to be found only in costume movies, or… vintage shops in Paris ^^ It has all features typical for Victorian fashion. Dignified puffs on the shoulders, its cut, bringing a hourglass into mind and this awesome quilted fabric! Just like a precious painting, its elements have been been framed with a golden trim. I don’t know which lady wore it first, but she must have loved trinkets as much as I do 😀 The jewel necklace with spectacular stones and golden bracelets seem to me as royal as the embellishments on the jacket. Trying to maintain an Oscar Wilde’s book atmosphere I reached for a skirt in a twin, burgundy shade. At the end of the 19th century riding a bike became incredibly popular among women, that’s why, according to this trend, I shortened its length to a midi one. Of course I couldn’t have forgotten an accessory which would combine all of my incarnations, namely a dignified toque. So who’s up for a historical bike trip? It’s time to hit the road! 😉
