Theme: An Inspirational trip to the past

Okay. So this round we were asked to pic a time before the 1900's and a place and take heavy inspiration from said time and place (some modern ideas allowed, but period of time/place should be noticeable).
Sooo... I picked Scandinavian (South Swedish) Middle class during the 1660 as my pick for Candy. The most obvious modern thing I did was give her a shorter skirt, than what would have been appropriate during the time I know, and instead of the typical hats worn during the time I gave her a "höckle" to make it more clear that she still is a working woman. XD I did really try to keep some of the typical "accessories" though, such as the knife/dagger that the women used to carry as well as the "housewife" bag. Also.. a belt attached needle cushion. XD
Also added the seashell to the poncho(aka Capelet/Palatine) accessory to help tie in the time period inspiration even more (art history students will understand it I'm sure).

Personally I really enjoy this theme so far, and Candy just gave me soooo many options and ideas. But I hope you all like her and her step back in time. ^^

Candy looks really cute in that Scandinavian garb.  The light blues and greens are a great color choice and I like your attention to detail with the bag, knife, and the sea shell pin.
