Our parents recently moved down to Decatur/Atlanta from our hometown of North Potomac, Maryland (just outside of D.C.). I snuck into their beautiful new home this week to use their library as a back-drop.
One of our mom’s favorite painters is Whistler (see poster in middle of above photo) and he seemed to favor painting dark-haired women dressed in flowy white gowns. I love how natural the women look in his paintings. They don’t have diamonds dripping off them or silk gloves scrunched to their elbows, and their hair looks a bit wild (see here and here).
It’s not gown, but my Jovovich Hawk for Target dress is a good substitute. I rarely wear anything this girly (lace + corset + ruffles), so it feels more natural to toughen up the frills with those new buckle platforms. Nothing says Symphony in White more than faux black alligator and hardware.
Cath and I are still working out the kinks with WordPress, but we hope you are all enjoying our new home! We’ll let you know when we figure out how you can follow us (fellow wordpress users, any clues?). We do have a blue RSS feed button at the top (thanks for reminding me, Emily ;), so feel free to click on that- but as far as following us through Blog Loving, etc. – it might take us a few days to figure that out.
Have a marvelous weekend, everyone!
