Outfit # 2: A Brand New Empire
Products: Dress – Dynamite Clothing, Hat – Forever 21, Shoes – Forever 21, Mascara – Ulta, Cream Rouge – Besame Cosmetics
Coming from the rigid beauty standards of the Edwardian and Victorian time periods, the 1910s brought a decade filled with comfortable fashion.
Suddenly sprung from whalebone-made corsets, women were able to access designs that incorporated fluidity and ease. The empire waist was a game changer then as well as today, especially as the July summer heat has just begun.
This dress is perfect for both summer classes and a night out. Though it incorporates the classic empire waist, its sheer bottom gives it a modernized edge. Add a little 1910s flavor with era-approved cosmetics.
Outfit #3: Sister Suffragette
Products: Jumpsuit – Old Navy, Heels – Target, Clutch – Forever 21, Earrings – Modcloth
These days, women like Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are famous for their white pantsuits. This isn’t just a fashion statement, though; it’s a nod to the lengthy battles that the suffragettes fought and won. Throughout the 1910s, suffragettes were constantly active in parades, rallies, and protests, demanding their right to vote. They finally won this battle in 1919.
White dresses was a symbolic element to the suffragettes’ image. Taking inspiration from the color as well as the modern pantsuit recreation, I have chosen a white jumpsuit to connect with the women who came before. Pairing it with a slender heel that pays homage to the popular Louis heels of the times, this outfit could be worn to work.
Because of the voices of the suffragettes, we now have the ability to use our own, which inspired the final element of this outfit, a pair of quotation mark earrings.
