till all is bright, and clear, and still




I've been reading much Percy Bysshe Shelley. Have you ever noticed how many color words he uses? I should starting reading his poetry just to name my garments. I've also just discovered Lillian Hellman. Winter certainly beacons us to read more, I can't imagine living somewhere without 4 seasons, I am sure I would not like it. I rather like how winter forces a little more creative whereas outfits are concerned, in the warm months it is so easy because a dress and some cute shoes suffice, but when you have to layer it up you certainly get a change to be inventive. Not that I am being particularly inventive with this outfit, but you get the picture. And really when I went outside I dishonored this little outfit with some giant snow boots; we do what we must...

black wool sweater - Anthropologie (splurge!)
1950s boucle pencil skirt - thrifted
tights - Sock Dreams
black gold trimmed flats - thrifted
pink blush raw linen neckwarmer - purchased from a local artist in Austin, TX


And also, a shop update

Is the pink attached to the coat on your oufit or a separate blouse? Pink is so pretty with black. Also, the first blush pink lace dress with the bow in your shop update is pretty much DIVINE!

Oh, I just love this look!

I really like that you tell where everything originated, too. You have such a great sense of style my friend!

Shelley and Hellman are both such excellent writers! The pink ruffle around your neck is so cute! I love your blog. I linked you!

The neckwarmer is amazing! It adds something really special to your ensemble here - a subtly perfect pop of color!

I love this outfit and I'm sure it looked just as cute with boots. (It's Michigan. I look at my pretty shoes, say "see you in spring," and put on the boots!)

Indeed, Shelley was a sensitive lad. Would that a Gentleman's line of clothing were available coloured in His sensibilities for today's Romantic Dandy.
