I had an epiphany today, after studying and thinking, and more studying, of styles, my needs, and personality: I can use the fashions of 1910 -1919, in the Arts and Crafts colours which suit me, as an everyday work style that is both artistic and chic.
This happened, prosaically, as I was driving home from work, out in the Avenues, and saw someone wearing a jacket that was ivory and scarlet (I think it was a windproof, but no matter.) Now I can work things out, marrying artistry, detail and colour in clothing that is attractive, appropriate and timeless.
It does amuse me that it is the '10s I have gravitated toward; it is a decade I know well. I honestly thought the choice would end up being the 1930s and early '40s. But I want more coverage.
