Big J and I spent the evening watching
Sevillanas, a documentary by Carlos Saura, and then we hopped around youtube looking for videos on flamenco and sevillanas.
As you probably know, I'm a fan of fashion from a by-gone era, and it struck me while watching the videos that some of our current fashion is inspired by traditional Spanish flamenco garb.
See any familiar themes?

Polka Dots

| Spanish Shawl |

and finally all 3 in one outfit:

| Feria de Sevilla |
Now this is a look especially for Spain's April Fair, but you can see how the same elements are all still quite popular today.
