In honor of Memorial Day I decided to add my first #cockcade to my outfit. Popular around the time of the Civil War cockades were intricate and handmade. Mine is definitely a modern interpretation rather than a faithful recreation, but mostly because I only learned about them this morning!!! True history buffs will notice the hilarious inaccuracy of using a South Dakota Democratic party pin for a Civil War Era cockcade 🤣 Thanks to @creativecockades for the inspiration! • • • • • #historical #civilwarera #historicfashion #costume #vintagevibe #memorialday #pioneer #wagonlife #sodakdems #democraticparty #hifromsd #blackhills #frontier #frontierlife #prairielife #prairiefashion #pioneerwoman #pioneer #inspiredbyhistory
