Going beyond that becomes costumey, although as we can see from Georgiana's outfits, you can reference historical trends.<BR/>I won't follow a fashion blindly, but I will find myself subliminally influenced by a line, such as skinny jeans, which I then incorporate into my personal style. I never ever wore skinnies with flats or court style heels where they bunched at the ankle. But I wore them under boots for 2 winters at least. This year I kept looking at them in the bottom of the drawer and remembering how constricting they are and how round they may me look. So I went back to the long and lean hip cut that actually suits me. (I am short and round but the long and lean does what it says on the tin) <BR/><BR/>I am 40. I should know what suits me and what parts of fashion to pick up, what to discard but really, for 2 winters I was influenced subliminally to find skinnies attractive. Strange isnt it?<BR/><BR/>xx<BR/><BR/>ps. Found you via Songy and the Beautiful Blog award.

(They don't have to use scarlet--or turkey red.)<BR/><BR/>BTW, I loved Marie Antoinette for the clothes and the music too . . .Miss Cavendishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461488799928956875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044436217360045087.post-26005975014961409232008-10-11T22:24:00.000-04:002008-10-11T22:24:00.000-04:00I will be watching this movie soon.. very soon eve...I will be watching this movie soon.. very soon even if I don't enjoy the story I would be just as happy watching all the costumes.Songyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719407771250196663noreply@blogger.com
