Beau Brummell

Today has been one big fangirl moment for me. I mean that in the lamest of ways. I dragged myself reluctantly onto tumblr, because I was craving Benedict Cumberbatch, when lo and behold I found tumblr interesting again! I haven't been on tumblr regularly in months, so this was a pleasant surprise. I spent most of my day scrolling through pictures of David Tennant, Matt Smith, BCumbz, and like... other hot Brits. 'Twas quite enjoyable.

Fitting, then, that this outfit should make me think of Beau Brummell, the exemplary English dandy of his time. I know I don't look like much of a dandy (my clothes weren't tailored specifically for me, after all, and I lack a crisp cravat and riding boots) but the spirit is the same. I felt like a fop all day in this outfit, so I'd call that a win.











I'm wearing: H&M dress, Target tights, Tulle coat via ModCloth, necklace from Mom.

I wish I'd gotten a picture of my shoes. In my haste I totally forgot, but they were my black and white oxfords from Aldo, seen here. Dem shoes!

Lately I'm torn between reading The Wise Man's Fear (which gets better every time I turn the page, I swear), watching Sherlock for the millionth time, and blissing out on the new Shiny Toy Guns single, "The Sun". Maybe I'll do all three and die of an awesome overdose!

I would also like to point out, perhaps (yes) belatedly, that Wardrobe Wanderlust has a facebook page! As you can see there's a shweet li'l button in the top right of my blog over there. Click it! It'll take you to our facebook, and you should probs "like" us or whatever you do with facebook pages. You can see how we all style each other's stuff, it's neat.

And now I'm going to go do some preemptive outfit photo-taking! Aha, world, you shan't foil me that easily.
