This Day in History and What You Should Wear Out Tonight

by Maria

2000
The Texas 7 escape from prison and go on a high-profile crime spree. This calls for a simple orange blouse for obvious reasons. Western ankle booties for equal parts rustic mobility and pizzaz. Let  your y2k alter-ego run amok with bell bottoms and the Louis Vuitton monogrammed clutch you know you still have in some dark corner of your closet.



1972
On this day the last humans-- Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt of NASA's Apollo 17 program-- set foot on the moon. Cultivate a subtle astronaut vibe. Now would be a good time to break out those silver pants you just knew you needed at the time but haven't worn since. White turtleneck. Moonstone. Red white and blue color scheme. Failure is not an option.




1545
The Council of Trent marks the beginning of the Catholic counterreformation. If you're anything like me, you know you can take the girl out of Catholic school but can't take the Catholic school out of the girl. Own it. Interpret it. But throw a conservative priestly robe coat over the ensemble for balance. Take offense to accusations of decadence as you clutch your statement necklace. Also, heeled loafers.


P.S. if you'd like to make me a happy woman this holiday season would you please track down that Alexander Wang polo-sweater contraption featured in the last outfit (which seems to be sold out everywhere) and gift it my way xo
