Or at least dress like her! PBS Masterpiece has a new version of Jane Austen's Emma that's playing on Sunday nights, and the first installment was this past week. I curled up on the sofa with a cozy blanket, and got lost in the world of 19th century England. I've always been a sucker for the Jane Austen-period clothing, but this version outdoes them all. I L-O-V-E the dresses. I want to wear them all. But I especially am loving Emma's dresses. She wears one that is the color above (maybe even the same dress?) but with a green sash, and I love the contrast. And then in the winter scenes, she wears the most beautiful red coat. On the PBS website, there's a behind-the-scenes video about how the director purposefully wanted a really rich palette for the show. You can see it here. And if you missed the first part of the show, you can watch it here.
Now contrast all that loveliness to this horrid discovery:

I LOVED that red coat too! And I'm just not a skinny jeans person period- leggings though take it to an even more frightening level

watch out, those leggings could show up in your stocking next year(really, jeans that can fold up and fit in a stocking- it's not right). they don't even look good on the "model."
Nothing better when there's a blizzard outside--to step into Emma's world!
I would pay good money to see you rock those leggings. HAHAHA. Oh, Anthro. Seriously?
I am going to check out Emma! Though I should probably look for a job... nah.
