Today I am inspired by Elizabeth Bennett's effortless elegance in Jane Austen's timeless classic Pride and Predjudice. I have decided to read the novel as the movies happen to be some of my favourites and I was suprised that I didn't drop it after a few pages.
Keira Knightly and her pursed lips are the perfect candidate for this role. She portrays 1800's fashion perfectly. Empire waistlines are back whether you like them or not and ruffles. Oh dear sweet peaches ruffles.If I could ruffle everything I would. Those 1800 fashion gurus wore ruffles, and they wore them good. But they also pulled off plain and simple. For the daytime they dressed simply. Simple was better. I suppose they were lugging pails of water around and milking cows but boy did they look good doing it.
I often find myself wishing I could go back in time and live in Jane Austens time. We need to go back in time.
