I don't have a telly which to some people may seem bizzare but it is actually ok as long as you have the internet. ANYWAY my point is because I lack a telly I have to watch DVD's or things that are online. However the other week while waiting for my internet to be installed I was going through my sisters DVD's and found the first series of Downton Abbey I hadn't watched it before but so many people are talking about it so I thought why not I will give it a go and I have to say it is awesome. I have now watched all of season one and up to date with season two. The programme gives you such a good insight into what life was like at that time (the years leading up to and during WW1) dealing with sex scandals, war, women's rights and of course the changing fashion.
In the picture above Lady Sybil Crawley comes down to dinner in her new trouser ensemble :o
(reminds me of Jasmine from Aladdin)
This picture is lifted from the Debenhams website where you can purchase the lovely leather gloves, shawl or hair slide, the main reason I have put in this picture though is not for the things you can purchase but just to show you how beautiful these dresses are. I mean look at the blue one on the right, it is gorgeous.
They all look so elegant and glamorous, with their fantastic dresses brushed hair and porcelain skin...
WTF happened?? How have we gone from this elegance to orange bimbos with died blonde hair?
I think it is safe to say society has changed since WW1. True in many ways for the better as we woman now have much more say when it comes to what we do with our life however we know something has gone wrong when you search glamour on google and this comes up.
Lets bring back elegant glamour! ... you never know men might not treat you like trash if you don't look like trash.
