Bravo!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/early-explorer-era#post-1470879 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:10:32 +0000 Meredith 1470879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's something about the 1920's and 30's that makes my archaeologist heart go pitter-patter.  While the legacy is complicated, I can't deny that I feel a sort of romanticism towards that era of exploration and discovery.</p> <p>The hat was on my to-buy list, but I also walked about with the vest.  I"ll have to think about whether that impulse buy really deserves a space in my closet.  I really wish I had a pair of Frye lace-up boots, but I've never been able to pull the trigger for fear they will feel to costumey (plus they're expensive)!</p> <p>Also, jodhpurs make so much more sense when I see how they were styled historically. </p>
