very cute! argh, i love clothes, so i love posts like these ♥

i took a class about modern history a while back and the teacher said that the reason nautical and military styles became popular at the turn of the century was because nationalism in Europe was at an all time high... and as a result of the industrial revolution, they had all these new toys to play with (steam ships, guns, etc.) so everyone was all OUR MILITARY IS AWESOME! WE ROCK! WOOOO!!! so one way that manifested itself was it became popular to wear military uniforms as fashion, particularly children's fashion. and of course, that included sailor suits :D
