Spring is far away
{photos by Josh}
The second season of Downton Abbey just wrapped up here in the states (and Sam bought me both British seasons for my birthday), and the Christmas Episode had me absolutely crazy over the tweed covered shooting outfits and Edward Gorey-esque cemetery scene. And the beaded deco dresses and felt cloches. And men in hats and suits. I actually should watch it again so I am up on the story instead of the wardrobe...
Anyway, I have a weakness for British country/hunting wear, and often buy items with that look in mind. Because I totally go to the English countryside and hunt pheasants aaaaaaalllll the time.
So I was pretty excited to find this skirt at a local thrift store, it's an Evan Picone from the 1970s, made of really fine wool, a perfect shape, and I adore the length, I've seen some longer skirt looks lately that I've been loving! Specifically on Harriett of Bright Young Twins. Note to self: Make Edwardian/Victorian skirt for everyday wear.

Love the look!
Everyone keeps talking about Downtown Abbey. i feel like I should watch, if only for the outfits!
I'm just gonna say: WONDERFUL!
It's a toss up if I like the plot or the wardrobe better on that show,both are fantastic!
Love this look, especially your boots! I can't wait for the second season to come to netflix so i can catch up!
Coveting the boots...and the coat...yeah, pretty much your whole outfit. :) Love it!

Gorgeous!!! I love Spring, but oh, tweedy wool looks are just the best. You look so charming, like you're on your way to a 1940s hunt breakfast :)
Like the cap and the shoes. They give the finishing touch. Beautiful!
What 'Downton Abbey' does to women :p
Can't wait for season 3
Love your outfit!
You look absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for the mention I'm really glad you like my skirts.

Love this!!! I'm dying to pull out some of my Edwardian blouses and lingerie to wear this summer and put together some Downton-inspired outfits. ;)
Oh you look adorable - especially your hair, I love it.
That skirt is such a fabulous find and it look great on you.
I adored the Christmas episode of Downton Abbey too and I've watched it several times since. It's so heart warming!
Fantastic outift. Tweed is always a good idea, whether styled this way or a la Annie Hall. I recently bought a tweed jacket with elbow patches from asos.com and am picking it up from the tailors this weekend. Had to take the sleeves up. Can't wait to get it back!
always so wonderful to see the outfits you wear. Definitely make an Edwardian or Victorian skirt!
