Victorian Nostalgia | Cha's Look of the Week

This week's look harkens back to days of the past drawing inspiration from Victorian times.



The skirt is reminiscent of the high waisted, buttoned, and tight-fitting pants that Victorian dandies (Beau Brummell, anyone?) strutted around in. The cape suggests an evening out, perhaps to the opera or the Grand Ball. The combination of black silk taffeta with black lace in the cape is sure to catch the eye. Despite these formal attributes, the fine leather straps and jersey of the top combined with the grommets and pleats of the skirt make this outfit perfect for a fun night out in the city. Who knows maybe you will find your own Grand Ball to attend!
