After a lot of thought and much Pinterest searching I decided that of the last 210 years, if I could pick my top three decades to dress in it would be:
1. The 1950's. Duh. Anyway who knows me well, knows this already. But here's some gorgeous dresses so you can drool over them.
I just adore the hats and the fur and the suits and big poufy tea-length skirts and three quarter-length sleeves, and the polka-dots, and the florals patterns and chiffon. If I could dress like this every day. I seriously would. Everyday. Did I mention the hats?
2. The 1870s. Yes, not the 1860s with the Civil War hoops, no, no. I much prefer the much more understated lobster-tail. Yep.
I love the timmer look these give (rather than the hoop skirts) yet they still are uber feminine with the amazing draping in the bustles, and a lot of them start being asymmetrical and doing more interesting things with their designs. Also cool hats, I just didn't look for pictures with them.
3. The 1900's (the first decade)--the Edwardian years or la Belle Epoche or whatever. This really isn't so much about the dresses, although some of them are fabulous, (I really don't think I did justice to this period with my pictures), it's actually all about the hats.
The hats were massive!
But the dresses weren't bad either. I could rock the Gibson Girl look. I'm sure of it. :)
Anyway, that's my rant about nothing consequential for the night. Now the kids are headed back to school, so off I go to make lunches. The end.
