I admit I dress like a slob but I adore pics like these!

Oh, total drool!!!!! Of course, they wouldn't survive a minute in my snow and ice.

Same here! My dress style is mostly "If it fits and doesn't look dirty, wear it", but I absolutely adore pretty things like these. Historical fashion is sometimes absurd and sometimes horrifying, but it came up with a lot of gorgeous stuff, too!

I also like comfy close to wear, but this is as pretty as a picture!
