I finally got the message and watched Downton Abbey this past weekend (just season 1 so far). And, just like everyone else I know who's seen it, I'm hooked. And how awesome would it be to have someone pick out beautiful, albeit very formal, clothes for you every day? I especially love Lady Mary's dress in the pic above. With the drama of Downton on the brain, thought I would put together a pretty little modern day summer outfit inspired by her look:
Braided sheen hat - anthro / Songbird dress - madewell (Think Madewell may have gotten their inspiration from Downton on this one too?) / Refined silk cashmere wrap - jcrew (had to add a splash of mint - my biggest color crush of the moment) / Gumdrop studs - kate spade (Katie gave me these as a gift for hosting her shower, and I've worn them pretty much every day since.) / Braided belt - madewell / Summer wedge - fossil (These are my new fave shoes for summer.)
One of my favorite quotes from season one: "What's a 'weekend?'" (Lady Grantham)
Cheers,
Haha!!!! Savor Season 2.... I don't know if I can wait until September for Season 3!!! Lady Grantham is my FAVORITE!!! She's hilarious to me :) Glad you are on the bandwagon... I was late as well. haha
