Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it, or...learn from it.

Good life motto.  And what better way to learn from the past than from the fashion that inspired us.
So I am going decade by decade to bring you fashion INSPIRED by the past.

1910s

As World War I struck, women's fashion became more industrial and with the feminist movement skirts were no longer the only option for women.  As hemlines rose and women considered the option of trousers, style changed.  Mix it up with a button up and high-waisted shorts.  Give it a touch of feminism with tights and "Mary-Jane" flats.  Don't forget some industrial jewelry to pay homage to the first World War.

When it came to a night out, opulence was key.  Whether it was the allure of the oriental, the use of matching jackets, and costume-peices (brought about by THE CoCo Chanel) to give the allusion of wealth, the 1910s was a stylish era.  Whether a beautiful navy cocktail gown with a matching jacket or an opulent oriental-inspired dress, both look divine with an over the top t-stap heel.
