I loveeee this peek into the depths of your love and admiration for Jane. I see so many similarities between you two, from your humor and wit to your deep commitment to honoring yourself at the highest level. "...that she was willing to say no to a certain, but undesired future and hold out for an uncertain but more aligned, wholehearted yes" — I think it's safe to say the way you live your life with equal commitments to hope, courage, and self-honoring would make Jane proud. 💛

Also this Regency gown is to die for and I DEMAND to see photos of whatever you land on for your JASNA conference gown!

Well if that isn't just the most wonderful compliment I've ever received! I really do think she would be proud. <3 Thank you for seeing me and for sharing such a lovely reflection. I will undoubtedly be debating over fabrics and patterns for months, so buckle up :P
