Hey Everyone.

Girl Overload here.

For any of you curious people wondering, I was on a temporary hiatus because of school. Yes, I’m a teenager still in school and not a thirty-five year old woman. Moving on.

Modern Victorian. A bit of an oxymoron, I know. Most people when they think of Victorian they think of drab, dull, dresses. However which a touch of imagination and artistry, Victorian style on anyone could turn out amazing.

And I’m here to give a few a pointers along the way.

Try Different Types Of Victorian Fashion

Think to yourself, do you want to dress more Goth Victorian, Girly Victorian, or some sort of middle ground?

Find your niche and stick to it.

Once you’ve done that, be ready to…

Throw In Some Modern Features

Such as this outfit. You can clearly see the Victorian style cuts and prints.

However the skirt is cut a lot shorter and there is her modern shoes, bag, and her sunglasses.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match to see what works for you.

Check The Facts

When you decide to wear a historical-inspired outfit, make sure to fact check to make sure it is somewhat accurate to that timeline. Yes, we are modernizing it a bit, but make sure it looks like an outfit and not a costume, for god’s sake.

But I digress.

Take Inspiration From Influencers And/Or Models

Yes, this outfit is more modern than Victorian, but we can still see Victorian elements, such as the corset and the Victorian style top.

The modern twist is the jeans and heels.

Some other perfect examples are these:

And more. Use websites such as Pinterest and Google Images to your advantage!

Add In Little But Important Details

Such as hair, makeup, and different textures. This quick diagram will show you how:

If you don’t like these examples, search online as I mentioned before! I cannot stress this enough, Use Pinterest!

Anyway, aside from my major rant there, be sure to experiment with your style and try new things.

And if all else fails, smile and walk away.

After all, you are a queen.
