Fashion OOTD: A Modern Edwardian Look
Please, don't take the title of this post too seriously - I'm the first to point out historical inaccuracies, this is just a fancy I have to vaguely link all my outfits to the fashion of past eras!
This top is one of my favourite tops at the moment. I love everything about it, although I wish it had long sleeves! The lace is quite different from all the other lace items that I have (and I can tell you I have more than a few!), it's very sturdy and will last me a long time, I am sure. The collar is what sold it to me: high lace collars are one of my favourite things in the world, and this is one of the details that remind me of Edwardian/Belle Epoque fashion. And could you believe this top is from Primark? I was so surprised to see something like that in there, so I jumped on it!
The other thing of my outfit that reminds me of Edwardian fashion is my pair of boots. Most people would probably find them granny-ish, but I absolutely don't care, they are fabulous! A girl once told me in a comment that these boots reminded her of Mary Poppins, and I totally take that as a compliment. Mary Poppins's outfits is a style icon, right?!
I styled my hair in an updo and wore pearl earrings to enhance the 1900s vibe, and on the whole I am quite satisfied with how this look turned out.
Can you see the 'Edwardian touches' of this outfit like I do? Do you also get inspired by past eras to build up your personal style?
Lots of love,
