Salve friends! Since I've been back on the mainland, I've had a lot to catch up on! And in addition to that I am the emperor's daughter, so I can't be seen in last year's fashions (much less those from five years ago). So this post will be dedicated to Rome's current fashions!
How I wear it:
The stola- every woman in Rome should own one of these! It is a long flowing tunic often worn with a woolen mantle called the palla. The positioning of everything is often confusing for girls who don't have attendants like I do to help them put it on! I like to wear mine layered (a long sleeve under a baggier short sleeve).
I like to personalize my outfits by dyeing them bright colors or adorning the fabric with expensive pins and broaches. The dyes are made of a purple shellfish that left a distinct odor- often called the smell of money!
Hairstyle:
In my opinion, hair is almost as important a clothing! Some of my friends dye their hair a golden red color or put in false hair pieces, but I take pride in my natural hair. I like to wear it down with spiral ringlets and jeweled hairpins!
Accessories:
I think accessories are the best part of an outfit! I have about every kind of jewel and gem you can imagine! From friendship rings, necklaces, anklets, brooches, and earrings to even a solid gold hairnet!
Well thats all for now! Hope you enjoyed reading about Roman fashion.
