I'm constantly inspired by Roman and Grecian styles. One of my favorite TV series was Rome (it's 2 seasons that focus on Julius Caesar and Marc Antony = wondrous!) This love for antiquity maybe started when I watched Disney's Hercules or maybe ever since I got to build the Colosseum out of marshmallows and toothpicks in elementary school!
There is just something about the elements of Greek and Roman mythology; drapery, gold, popping colors set in marble, and intricate detailing that makes me a sucker for the classics. In the show Rome, fashion plays importnat role in setting up the scene and Invoking the Muse.
This outfit makes me think of a wearable interpretation of this. The gold flats are something that I've had for a long time and always add an extra kick (no pun intended) to any outfit. The belt is subtle and has a cute heart clasp to cinch in for the waist. The hairband is brown and braided suede chords. I'm obsessed with braided items right now!
I guess this look was my own little "Ode to a Grecian Urn," but in a contemporary way and a cute switch from the toga party boring white bed sheet.
