Everyday 1910s

My absolute favourite period of history is from 1890-1920.  So much happened in those years.  I also greatly enjoy the clothing of that time, particularly from the 1910s.  So, I have been browsing the net to see what is out there for costume patterns and such, and came across this:

I also realised that my style of dress in everyday can in some ways mirror the fashions of my favourite decade.  (Vintage/Retro is super easy right now, but the whole Edwardian Era doesn't translate to modern day as well)
So today I tried to imitate the "Kimono Style" of the early Teens, but in a modern way.  Here is how it turned out:

It was terribly difficult to get a clear picture of the entire outfit, I may try again sometime.

I tried this pretty tunic over top of one of my long dark brown skirts, and it turned out to look pretty good.

 So basically, I have been wearing dresses (or tops) with Empire waists, with belts, and layer things either over or underneath.  They still look pretty modern, especially when the dresses aren't too long.  I also wear stockings, my oxford shoes or button up boots to add to the look and accessorise with my watch necklaces and vintage looking necklaces and wear vintage hair accessories too.  It is great fun trying to find ways to bring in historic style into my everyday clothing!
