What The Hell, Antonia?

Antonia,

Please tell me you lost a bet and that's why you were seen wearing that monstrosity that Witch Weekly described! I know that you never cared for fashion as much as me or Octavia do, but one doesn't need to be a fashion designer to know that red and mustard yellow don't look well together. And what's with all that jewelry? That is so nouveaou riche, Antonia! We already have people whispering that we were barely upper class before our success!

Please, for the future, stick to only one colour palette for your dresses. You are a beautiful woman, Antonia, you don't need to cover yourself like a Christmas tree!

Your brother,

 
Marcus

Dear Brother,

At this stage in my life you must understand that I have a style, it is quiet my own,

Your dresses are lovely, and I know I always look better when wearing them but I must be allowed to express myself as I like. As to my jewels, it cannot be helped that I am spoiled by my husband! I wear what he buys me because it pleases me to show off his kindness to the world, and I will not hide that light under a bushel for the benefit of Witch Weekly! That collection of sour faced spinsters wouldn't know fashion if it bit them in the posteriour and hung on!

I did however wear only one colour to the Recon ball, it was a lovely golden yellow gown. It was very striking, I think it suits my personality very well!

I do hope to have you at the reach soon, you should come up for a hunt soon, I'm sure a fall line of furs would be very sumptious indeed!


All my love,
Your devoted sister
Noni

Antonia,

Expressing yourself is a noble cause, but it is a pity if you make a fool of yourself in the process. There'd been many times when I wished I could wear colourful suits, for example, but I know that I would make a fool of myself to do so so I only wear them at costume parties, where I could get away with it. Surely, it is not pleasant to wear a dress you like if it gets you mean comments from others!

I realize that you have a loud personality and you want to showcase it. I understand. But you don't have to look ridiculous to show it! Octavia and I design many dresses that aren't boring without breaking the rules of fashion and good taste!

Your brother,

My Dear Marcus,

Please do stop taking yourself so seriously! For someone in the fashion industry you are as miserable as an undertaker!

Love
Noni
