Fashion Museum

Another visit to Bath and this time we decided to see the Fashion museum. They have a new exhibit where you can try on clothes from the Victorian Era so of course we had to have a go. I wish it was fashionably acceptable to wear bonnets nowadays. 

I love the idea of updating old fashion designs into new trends. This part was devoted to Modern Georgian styles. 

Sorry about all the reflections in the glass and slight blurring - some garments were dimly lit and we weren't allowed to use flashes. 

The current exhibition was a collection of David Sassoon's work.

It was also celebrating 50 years of fashion at the museum and this was one of my favourites from 2008 by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel.

Highland Fling

Here are some photos of a little outfit I put together that I thought reflected the theme of a British Garden nicely. The 'Highland fling' refers to the tartan trend at the moment which I love. The 'skorts' (shorts that look like a skirt) had the perfect colouring of tartan, which is how I imagine it should be for the wintery/christmas feel. I've seen a lot of other versions that had too much red and not enough of the foresty green colour.
