Today is the first day of my new blogging schedule. I will now be posting every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Monday and Wednesday will be installments of different series I have started and Friday will just be some photos I've taken that week.
Today I am very excited to show you this sweater I recently found in a secondhand store. I had set out looking for something that reminded me of a Gibson girl. I wanted it to be sturdy and well made with a touch of formality. Even the casual style of those days would be considered formal today , so you see in order to imitate the fashion you must look neat and well put together.Now, the Gibson Girl was part of the first generation of women to really compete in physical sports that previously had only been played by men. There was alot of school sports and a general spirit of friendly competition in ladies colleges. This of course influenced style creating a sporty collegian look. I thought this sweater captured a bit of that old fashioned school spirit. The sweater is comfy yet very well made and the different details add that aforementioned formality.
So that's it for today. On Wednesday I will show you what I've been up to this last month.
I remain
cordially yours,
