Der Walzer
Two locations for today: the Opera Ball and the Hotel Imperial, both in Vienna. Women must wear floor-lenght gowns, hence why I created this look around a Dior floor-lenght gown. The rabbit fur jacket is there because the event takes place during the Carnival, which is in winter, so one needs to be warm when walking from the car to the interior of the Opera and vice-versa. The accessories and the shoes were chosen because I thought they complemented the dress perfectly.

Cathair na Gaillimhe
Again inspired by both the location and the olympics. I went for a more city-appropriate look while still using colors of countries I support. This time, the blue, red and white are for Team GB and France, but the handbag still hints at where my heart truly lays at the end of the day: Canada. As you can see, the word "Canada" is printed on the bag and it is from Dsquared2, who are Canadian designers.

Uaisle
Ireland! As you can see, I decided to go for a color traditionally associated with Ireland: green. I have never been to Dromoland castle, "home to one of the few native Gaelic families of royal blood" (Schultz, 1000 Places to See Before You Die, p.66), but I have been to the Cliffs of Moher which are a 30-minute drive from the castle, now a hotel. The cliffs are quite impressive and also a bit scary when you have a fear of heights when you lean over the edge, thing you can't do anymore since they places a fence to prevent people from going near the edge. At least, that's what I read. When I was there, there was only a low brick wall that a 5 years old could have climbed over, hence how I (and many others... if not everyone) was able to get near the edge. I have to admit I didn't really looked over the edge as I was keeping my back against the rocky "wall" and trying not to look down.
Anyway, about this outfit. Because of the location's past, I decided to go with a sophisticated look.
