A no-fuss outfit that's still unabashedly girly. I. LOVE. these. shorts! I've been looking for some (and have bought a pair of lace shorts before) but they weren't the perfect pair like these. I actually thought all guys would hate them since they're so frou frou but Tim says they're really sexy. Maybe that'll explain the random stalker I encountered while trying to find fashion illustration books at Half Price Books.
The title of the post is named after one of the best books about the characters in the French Revolution...I first read it in high school and I recommend it to anyone into revolutions in history. I've been becoming re-interested in history since I watched every history and military channel show that came on about the world wars while being sick. Anyone have any more good history show recommendations?

  10. Life After People was sort of neat...I think that was History Channel but it might have been Discovery.

    Also, it's funny...My roommate saw these online and said she wanted them...And I just stared like, "So...what are they?" They look much better on than alone ...Lol

  26. Great outfit! It's adorable! We just finished The Pacific and that was a really good show. It is a miniseries from HBO. It is based on a real story from World War II. With all war movies/shows it is violent and sad but overall they did really well with the show.
    I also really like The Tudors. If you haven't seen that yet- I highly recommend it!
    If you love the French Revolution period I read a book a little while back that I just loved and could not put down. It is called The Mistress of the Revolution by Catherine Delors. That book almost made me cry! haha
    Hope those are good recommendations for you. :)

  34. What a romantic outfit! I love those shorts, but the blouse is great, too with that little lace detail on the elbows.
    Hmmm...I don't know that many history/war time films, but Letters from Iwo Jima was really good.

  42. holtbet: I just got them in the mail but it appears that it's sold out on charlotte russe's online website....but I've seen the black version at forever 21 and lulu's so you should keep an eye out for them there as well

    ReplyDelete

  43. I forgot to ask on Chictopia, but did you recently purchase those shorts? Or have you had them for a while? Just wondering if I should make a trip to my CR to hunt them down! :-)
