Greek and Roman Summer Garb

Hi guys! Sorry to neglect this blog for so long! I have so many online sites to maintain for my business, sometimes a hobby-based site falls behind. Anyway, I have tons of stuff to share, but I'm going to start with some basic summer outfits I made for my boyfriend and myself this year. We attended a few very hot events this year, and I thought we could both use something really cool to wear!

For my outfit, I took inspiration from the Greek athletes and workers wearing short chitons.
For Chris, I was inspired by the Roman workers. I also made him some "barbarian" pants!

Inspiration at the Getty Villa

Here in LA, we have this wonderful place called the Getty Villa. It is filled with Greek and Roman era artifacts, and the whole place looks like a Roman villa. My boyfriend and I went there for a visit, and I wanted to share some images we took. It's costume inspiration time, Roman era style!
There are quite a few pictures here, enjoy!
