But, watching my students, I got the sense that the girls feel pretty restricted in what they wear.

I so love reading about the history of fashion garments and strive to include a little bit of it in my post when I can. Your jacket is so elegant as are the brooch and earrings. I look forward to your post about capes. Let's continue to stay in touch. I hope you have a great week.<br /><br />Sharon<br />http://www.afashioncrowd.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585936382737846293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-77895379286941005752014-11-23T16:41:35.676-08:002014-11-23T16:41:35.676-08:00Your blazer is a real classic.

The blazer is beautiful, love the craftsmanship and the color - you look wonderful in it. It's always interesting to see the old photographs you pick for your posts. I am so truly happy that modern fashion does not require women to wear something as painful as a corset. We talk a lot about restrictions and ridiculous rules and expectations of modern styles, but when one looks back as you often do in your blog, one can see that we live in the most accepting period in history - we can wear whatever we want, from any era, or create something of our own without any era in mind, with brand new and vintage things mixed together in a whimsical way, and express ourselves through fashion, writing, painting etc., etc. more freely than ever. <br /><br />Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.com
