Lisa really doesn't like this look,"looks like a high school Dr. Seuss play costume." For me it vibes 50s cave man movie, which is not a bad thing. I agree it's a messy look but at the awards it could work. I’m totally on the fence between cringing & thinking it's ok.

Funny you should mention it, yesterday this jumped out at me. The juxtaposition of the red metal and the green weed and the aged concrete was striking.

That is somewhat of a problem in the US, but due to taxes at death, more thsn lack of family to take over. Although that is an issue here as well as families get smaller.

Thanks πŸ™. It's a lovely home, and the gardens are spectacular, we are going back in April for a Bridgerton tea. I hope flowers are back in bloom by then.

It's an awesome dress very romantic vibe for me. And she does not lean into the romance so loses points πŸ˜€

It's such an amazing museum. The clothes are right there you can get super close shots. And the beautiful rooms they are in, really sets the mood. They have Mozart playing in the ballroom where the Georgian era clothes are.

The last photo shows the bodice of a dark green Victorian dress. Photo by Robert Emond.

The dress is very romantic but her hair and general styling are so severe that creates a jarring impact for me. Remove the giant white ruffle on the back and the severe look would work.

πŸ‘ I think cultural impact defines it because great design stands the test of time. Worth, Vuitton, Chanel, etc.

A collage of photos from the National Costume Museum of Portugal. The top photo shows several Edwardian era women's dresses with a wide view of the historic room they are displayed in. The ornate design of the room is clearly visible from decorative mounding to ornate stenciling on the walls. The middle photos show details of Georgian era garments; an ornate pink bodice, an ornate cream vest and a silver satin jacket. The bottom picture shows a view of the room the middle garments are displayed in. The parquet floor and ornate architectural details are visible as well as the garments on display. Photo by Robert Emond.

Seven columns with horizontal lines turned at a slight angle. A haiku reads:

smoggy urban sprawl
gentle winds a bouquet of vegetation 
peace in the bamboo forest

It's reverse camouflage, it makes you stand out instead of blending in. I love those shoes to.
