Last year I became besotted with the 1920's era with all it's sparkly dresses, long skirts, peter pan collars and mary jane shoes. Unfortunately it is difficult to find 1920's style clothes that are affordable and modest. Most dresses are quite short and sleeveless.
Meanwhile, I've also had a bit of an obsession with Wallis Simpson, as a fashion icon.
I loved the film W.E. which showcased some beautiful outfits,
copies of the original ones worn by the Duchess of Windsor.
After looking at the styles of the 40s, I realised that most of the styles I wore last year were actually influenced more by the 1940s than the 1920s. So, I am going to fully embrace the 40s era of fashion this year, and move on from trying to find inexpensive drop-waist dresses.
Don't be surprised if you see me wearing more dots, brooches, and belts this year!
