#seasonal depretion?

Can I get one shot of depresso straight into my veins? I really like the look of empty, gray country with no life. It's great for selfreflection, when one isn't distracted by the serene beauty of tha nature.

i feel really bad for tourists who come visit finland in november like damn all the trees are empty and the sky is grey and theres perpetual rain

like october is AUTUMN RUSKA PRETTY and if theres snow in december its WINTER WONDERLAND SANTA CLAUS PRETTY

november is the transition from one to the other

It's the tail-end of pumpkin season, so I'm going to go hard or go home with orange for the next couple of days. Yes, I suppose you could say these are pumpkins spice dresses.

This French Depret satin confection comes from the cusp of the 1860s into the 1870s, and I love a transition period dress. There's nothing as cool to me as being able to see fashions change before your eyes, gown to gown.

In this case, we still have the monumental skirts, but you start to see some of the trimmings that show up in the 1870s--tassels, fringe, that sort of thing. Plus, the top is a faux jacket, modeled after sporty riding and military coats commonly seen among more masculine designs.

The back of this dress though, is all bustle--but still with the volume of the 1860s, before things go up and back.

I love the play with different silk weaves, here, to give contrast to the design. You get that super shiny satin against a plain weave silk. Ooh la la!

From the Met.
