Happy Friday beauties...I hope the week has been wonderful for you...today I'm sharing my 'Share in Style' pictures today instead of tomorrow, as I don't post on Saturdays. The theme this week is 'Gothic'...a time period that I very much enjoy...from the art, literature and architecture, there's a lot to discover. I decided to do a more 'Victorian Romantic Gothic-esque' look for my outfit. Very last minute because I kept changing my mind & we had to be quick because light was being lost every second, but the moody atmosphere was perfect for the topic thankfully. I haven't worn clothes this dark since before Christmas really, so it was a little strange to do so once again. The book in my hand is 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', by Robert Louis Stevenson, a classic Urban Gothic work of the 1880's, it's one of my favourites...Robert also happened to be Scottish *wink* so it all ties together! I leave you with a couple quotes from the book & invite you all to join in on Saturday for 'Share in Style' on Sacramento's blog if you want to show your Gothic style too. Have a great weekend my beloved ones!
