I love the bright colors of the 1890s, did they invent the concept of a "pop of color"?

Christmas Eve at the Bird Cage Theatre in my 1890s winter best. The City of Tombstone is at it's best in winter, perfect for holiday shopping...and dressing "in attire" is always en vogue in town, so bring a suit! . . #birdcagetheatre #Tombstone #oldwesttombstone #lilyabsinthelife #1890sstyle #museumhat #museumdeaccession #extantsources #lilyabsinthe #1890s #thebiggerthehattheclosertogod #thedressmakerscottage #thevictoriandressdesigner #victorianoldwest #LAgirlintombstone (at Bird Cage Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX4HMQ_PSV0/?utm_medium=tumblr

A short walk means a turn around the lawn for me...for @adamlid1 it means a muddy trip hiking in the moors in his jacket from @bespokentailoring.

It's History Mirror Monday! Trying to wrap up all the fiddly fittings so I'll have something fun to wear for Wyatt Earp Days (Memorial Day Weekend) in Tombstone...so many projects to finish before then! . #historymirrormonday #lilyabsinthestyle #museumhat #1883harpersbazar #blue #stripedsilk #latebustle #oldwest #oldwesttombstone #victorianoldwest #victorian #bustledress #memade #femaleentrepreneur #thevictoriandressdesigner #rearview (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/COtW4nQFXoK/?igshid=6j5oknuanh1m

One day I'm fluttering in the sunshine, the next I'm stitching and covered in threads...more dress up days are needed. . . #labelleepoque #lilyabsinthestyle #historicaldressdesigner #antiquelace #museumhat #parasol #edwardianstyle #gibsongirl #belleepoque #extantlace #historicalsewing #historicalcostuming #1900s #1900sfashion #fashionhistory #edwardianoldwest #batiste https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbF1O8l4b9/?igshid=173y7qavwm519
