Fashion Week

I'm interested in fashion this week.

The color circles are inspired from a spring catalogue I got in the mail. So cheerful to think spring.

The thumbnail sketches (excuse the lined paper) are from a library book I've been pouring over called: "Fashion Icons of the 20th Century"

The top sketch is based on WWI fashions. There was a term "Kriegskrinoline": the use of crinoline during wartime and an interest in a sentimental, backwards look to happier times in fashion. (And the addition of some military decorations on these high fashions to speak of the times).

I thought all of this interest was purely abstract for me, but I find it seeping into my own closet issues. Now I can't afford to make big changes in my wardrobe. But I think I will be trying to downplay my Mom look. For now that only means figuring out which clothes of mine are slightly more flattering and placing them on the easy to reach shelves. So what if some juice gets on my "good" clothes, right?
