Doppelganger: Call the Midwife!

December 22, 2012

Doppelgangers are always fun because they let you see how you can translate over-priced high fashion into affordable (and just as chic) pieces.

This post is helping me procrastinate the inevitable: wrapping presents! All my gifts are in piles scattered around my house and I am in a Scrooge mood when it comes to thoughts of Christmas. I still have a lingering cold and just want to curl up in bed and finish watching Call the Midwife on my Apple TV.

Having mentioned, Call the Midwife, I have to say I really like this new British series set in the 1950’s! The costumes are great and I really like how they set up the episodes. I would love to do a photo shoot inspired by the look of this show one of these days!
