      I would like to give a shoutout to my friend Sarah, who was kind enough to be my editor for this post. Thanks so much!                   Most people have a fashion inspiration. These days it seems to be some celebrity they follow on Instagram. Personally, most of mine lived at least 100 years ago. Some of my biggest fashion influences have been Eowyn and hobbits from Lord of the Rings, and most fashion from the 1800’s up to the 1950’s. Probably my earliest and biggest fashion inspiration was Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel. When I was younger, it was an ideal which I was never able to attain.
