I tried on an awesome dress the other day that had a grecian look to it.. and it felt GOOD.
Now I have grecian gowns on the brain.. (Not that I'm 100% sure of the strict definition of a 'greccian' look but I think I know it when I see it)
This style appeals to me in general because it's casual without sacrficing any of the drama.. they are bold but also feminine.. slouchy but also elegant... relaxed but still very sexy...
And they look and feel soo comfortable.. And work well with flat shoes.
Thats an awful lot of my boxes ticked.

But there is something holding me back. Well actually a few somethings, but the main thing is the headgear factor.
I don't think these style of dresses work so well with a veil, or any really out-there head gear..
I can see a sedate flower in my hair but that would be about it..?
Or maybe I am just not using my imagination here? (though I note all the above models are all bareheaded)
does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm hoping someone will tell me Im wrong
Would a grecian gown mean saying goodbye to most (all?) of my headgear fantasies??
