Lace Blouse -- Forever 21 ($6)

Today's outfit was inspired by what Felicity King [from RtA] might wear after she had graduated from the one room school house in Avonlea. With the mix of the tweed skirt, lace blouse, and boyfriend style cardigan the outfit is a great updated version of what they wore in the Edwardian age.
If you have never seen the Road to Avonlea series you really must. It is charming, wonderful, and you will fall-in-love with the characters in the series. If your library doesn't own the DVDs & you have a Netflix DVD account they have them, because of Netflix I've been able to share season 7 with my two youngest sisters, Hanne-col & Abby. It has been lots of fun showing the last season with them [we've been watching the episodes as fast as possible so we can get the next disc]!

I love this outfit! I think this is definitely "Felicity Inspired". Since Felicity is in my top favorite character list I was worried about how someone would recreate her look for a modern day style, but I think you did an excellent job and you have wonderful taste. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the color scheme and the lace with the tweed. I remember watching The Road to Avonlea on the Disney channel growing up, but haven't rewatched them as an adult yet. One day I will. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, such a nice outfit, Ashley! It definitely looks a lot like something Felicity King would wear! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely...absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeletePretty! Your skirt is wonderful, and you look so nice in mustard yellow cardigan! I have seen most of the RtA series (we own the disc set!) and you did an amazing job modernizing the Edwardian style!

Oh, I'm sorry, Aimee. I bought this blouse from the F21 website a few years ago, when this blouse was hugely popular on Pinterest (in fact it sold out twice). So I don't think they sell it anymore. I tried to find the name of blouse in my email history. Because my best friend wanted this blouse too & I had discovered the proper name of the blouse to find it on the website (since it was hidden), but I couldn't find that email.
DeleteI love your outfit! So jealous of that skirt!
