So here in the big mitten we had a soul scorching week of triple digit weather followed by what do you say...... that's right! Hail storms! Yee Haw I love Michigan weather ( NO really I do just when you think you cant take anymore you get something all together different!)
Anywoo it has ushered in a bout of unmistakably fall weather! And inspired me to my favorite fashion season! So here are some of my plans for this fall
Ok ! So I want a colonial Georgian period top with stay to
wear with jeans and Georgian inspired heels with bows. I want more than one top
maybe 2 or three. I can collect the fabric and either learn to sew or find one
of the Haberman's vetted seamstresses to make it for me. I do not own these images they are simply gorgeous images I found searching online.

I have, however, not turned my back on bohemian looks. I want
a Native American inspired look to wear as well with jeans. Everything with
jeans makes it easy! These are mostly from one of my favorite Etsy shops call SpiritTribe

Had to do something for my favorite era... The Victorian Era! Home of the Steampunk! All hail the Queen! Cant let the Georgians have all the fun!
All on Etsy of course!

Had to specify this shop because I think it is very cool that she makes the hats herself. I have a larger head and for those of us with an embarassments of riches in the brains department, or braids, twists and elaborate hairstyles that we dont wish to crush, a custom hat is a true stroke of luck!
Button up high collar jacket
Lace Fingerless gloves
Custom Victorian Boots from Romania! How cool is that! And not all that pricey for what you get
I am really excited about bringing my fantasies to life with this eclectic, out the box, collection. Hasn't every little girl (or boy) looked at historical garb at some point in their lives and thought how sad it is that those fashions aren't in today? That they will never get to wear high button collars or corsets to school? Well the great thing about the struggling economy is that everyone is wearing everything. Even designers are recycling collections. I had utter deja vue looking at last years fall collection from my greatest love Ralph Lauren! Even the adds were the same as something I saw back in high school. Just do it! Pair it with jeans if you are afraid of looking a little too theatrical on the street but don't be afraid to live a little. Be the cool one!
