A riverside romance.

   However flapper dress and flats won’t show women’s body shape properly, it still gives  us relaxing and confident image. For example usually I went out for collecting drawing references, I won’t wear high heels to torture myself. But it doesn’t mean dressing up is unnecessary, currently how to feel comfortable but look elegant is the important things for me.  Also that’s the reason I started a daily look column in my instagram, no painting, no inspiration, just to capture some more practical and casual look for our daily life in open air randomly. Anyway this column separates from the proper fashion dairies. 
  The theme of this time is”causal black”, this outfit was inspired by 1920s women casual wears, flapper dress with cardigan together is the most comfortable and chic combination! (hand knit cardigan was quite popular during that age).  But…don’t you think whole black is too serious? Then why don’t we mix with colorful accessories!  
   By the way, summer is the best season to spend time outside!

    When I think about the 1920’s I think of a flapper too. The most interesting part is that the flapper style was originally primarily a “poor” style, but was eventually adopted by the middle class & socially elite.
    You look absolutely adorable! And the illustration is amazing!
