I’ve got this weird obsession. It’s researching/studying/watching videos on what women wore during different time periods and how they wore them. Like these videos on Youtube that show what it took to dress a women during different eras. I have no idea when the obsession began, but I do know it was way before the time of the internet so finding the information wasn’t easy like it is now. I bought this book in my first year of college. It was stupid expensive at the time (I think I paid $80 brand new) but I have flipped through this thing regularly over the last almost 20 years. I still refer to it when I am reading and I want to get a better idea of the fashion was like in that time period.
I probably should have found a career that could embrace the obsession. I did take museum studies with hopes to become a museum curator at some point but I think I would have done better if I could have specialized in the fashion of a particular time period. In my head I lean towards medieval because it’s my favourite time but I am also really drawn to the opulence (or as it is termed “Rococo” meaning florid or excessively elaborate) style of the 18th century French fashion. Since it’s now just a pipe dream I think I will specialize in both 😉 No joke though this here is my dream halloween costume.
Last post in What to Pack for Edinburgh, Scotland I talked about the common question that goes around the Instagram captions to generate some fun and conversation of “If you could move anywhere in the world right now where would it be?” I noted that my picks are always Edinburgh, London, Dublin, and Copenhagen as an honourable mention, so I made a packing list to Edinburgh to commemorate my choice (that reason and also someone asked me to). Today I have the 30 outfit options that work from those pieces. My picks weren’t for any particular season. It was more of a multi-seasonal list that I was envisioning to take you through different months with small variations.
If you hate subscribing to email newsletters but are more of a social media person then you can get all of my new packing list posts (and other things) from my Facebook page, and Pinterest. I update those immediately (or close to) after a post goes live. Instagram is usually my daily outfit posts or anything else fun I am inclined to share. Have a good weekend guys and I can’t believe we are rolling into the last week of summer before school starts here.
Do you have a dream career or are you already loving the dream?
