Renaissance duchesses were renowned for their fashion, so make sure not to look underdressed when in the cities which still carry their elegance. A red lace pencil skirt, an important silhouette for the season goes perfectly well with a long sleeve pine green lace top. Keep warm with this mini fur cape and fur arm warmers. The look needs something gutsy, so to lace knee high socks match leopard print Mary Janes and a cross-stitched rose and leopard print Sicily.
