Regency styles seem to be here to stay. While I've never been a fan of the empire waist dress, I do like trying new things and the print from this dress was calling my name, so I'm embracing my inner Jane Austen in today's post.
Interestingly enough, heels were originally designed for men's wear and slippers, also known as flats were the height of ladies' fashion in the regency era, so I thought it only appropriate to don some colorful flats for today's regency inspired pics.
Satin, leather, and plenty of ribbons and beading were popular materials for shoes in the 1700's, but I quite prefer these simple breathable woven fabric flats from Harriseve in this bright yellow that brings out the floral print of this dress.
If there is one character in fiction that I could relate to, it is probably Elizabeth Bennet. I always loved how she was innocent but wise, witty but kind, and of course, willing to admit when prejudice had caused her to misjudge someone.
Given how likely she was to traipse through the mud in search of her sister without regard for the opinions of others, I think Elizabeth Bennet would approve of something so sensible, comfortable and easy to clean as these Harriseve Flats.
