the anxiety of icon-ness


i'm no ardent virginia woolf fan, though i think she's perfectly fine, and i also get a little tired of every historical figure being turned into "style icons" by the ever-growing legions of designers with no ideas of their own...


...but as we're moving into fall i've been sort of wishing i had a lot of slouchy virginia woolf dresses (plus cardigans, plus soft warm scarves) and school-marmy heels. or, should i say, i've been wishing i had those items plus the healthily willowy body they look best on.


anyway, here are some lovely versions of virginia to think about, because it's september!
