For one of my classes this Summer (yes, I took extra units, how nerdy hehe), the students in my section are to play hosts for an Alumni Homecoming. My professor says that we HAVE to wear BLACK for the bottom and BLUE for the top.
I couldn't believe it - because, I wanted to wear white badly. HAHA! So, I have come up with this look - maybe, a bit too fashion forward for the event but it beats having to wear slacks and pencil skirts like everyone else.
I always think of the Jane Austen period whenever I hear love letter. I imagine that the trend back then were soft colors, and "curtain"ish prints. Lots of natural colors - golds, taupes, beiges, creams, offwhites, ivories etc. I also think of the beautiful gardens people back then would take walks in.
Wearing this, on a bench, surrounded by wildflowers, opening a love letter = a scene from a great romance novels. But oh...Chivalry is dead, is romance too?
With technology, I think romance is slowly dying! However, a text message is no substitute for love letters! And this look is beautiful... it looks like it comes straight out of an Austen novel.
