With the return of BBC's award winning Downton Abbey tonight for Season 3 (in the U.S.), I thought I'd highlight five things I'm loving right now (and may have bought one or two) that showcase a modern take on the amazing fashions worn in the show. If you want a little more information on the clothing and accessories of the era, I found
this page to be interesting.
1.
Anthropologie Accordion Midi Dress - Get dressed for dinner just like Mary Crawley. Add a pair of elbow length gloves in nude or black and a long beaded necklace for the complete look. I love this dress!
2. Hats, hats and more hats! I declare 2013 to be the year of the hat!
3. Since Season 3 is set in the 1920s, the dresses are shorter and more flirty! After the war, the ankle appeared in fashion, and it was all downhill from there...
4. Get just a hint of Downton in your outfit - these designs by Sabine really hit the mark!
5. After you put on your gloves, you must add your jeweled accessories...
