A poetry and fashion challenge from "My Vintage Curves" blog

My Vintage Curves is a lovely blog written by the lovely Antionetta in Italy.  She has some very unique ideas and has issued a challenge today to pair fashion and poetry.

I have decided to take her challenge!  Please note that this is my second post of the day.....I wanted to keep this post separate from the last, but please be sure to check out my previous post for a very special Goodwill treasure that I found.

I chose one of my favorite poems by Lord Byron; "She Walks in Beauty"

Dress...it's actually lingerie that I have worn as a dance dress; shoes, Anne Klein iflex; book, the Selected Poetry of Lord Byron by Leslie Marchand

"She Walks in Beauty"

She walks in Beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes;

Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which Heaven to gaudy day denies

One shade the more, one ray the less

Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent

~ Lord Byron

1814
