Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Pink is perfect for you! There’s no color that’s as equally playful and romantic as pink, and it’s a color that looks good on nearly every hair and body type. Pair it with a soft floral or dotted pattern and you’re perfectly prepared for Spring!

Mostly Bs...
Grey is referred to as a dull color by the unstylish, but it can make a perfect Spring color in a light dove shade! Pair it with an assortment of grey and white accessories, a floral parasol, and a small hat, and you’ll be ready to weather the Spring showers!

Mostly Cs...
Green is a versatile color found both in wardrobes from all seasons, but we’d suggest a lighter, brighter green for spring! Pair it with a nice string of pearls and white lace and you’ll be ready to turn heads!

Mostly Ds...
Orange, especially in its brightest hue, is a stunning color for spring and summer, and especially perfect for freckles or red-headed ladies. A pair of yellow flats and a pretty pendant and you’ll be set to go!

Hogwarts' Class of '88: Where Are They Now?
With the new season only months away, we here at Witch Weekly have decided to take a look into the past Hogwarts graduates of 1888, and take note as to the happenings in each and every one of their lives as far as society is concerned.

Miss Crawford, soon-to-be spinster?
It seems that the only ideal outcome for these ladies that we shall list in this article is an uneventful one. From scandal to death, the only girl that seems to have a truly bright future to speak of is one Miss Hope Crawford. Still having remained unmarried, she has at least had the decency to not run off in order to elope as many young ladies seem to be doing as of late.

Our next young lady, Miss Allegra Clearwater, has shown an absolute lack of finding a husband all together by the blunt act of choosing a career. As one may surely realize, a woman aught not reach for a career when she is expected to raise a household of children. It does beg the question as to whether she will give up this career when she finally has a husband, or is with child at the latest. We all know how the Whitledge children turned out with a mother who had a career!

Miss Naeva Lécuyer is not entirely at fault for the bad reputation that has plagued her. With her father being left at the altar, and her older sister eloping, one must wonder how she has not become a mess as well. Thus far the only negativity she has brought to her family name is that she has yet to find a match.
One can mostly blame this on her family being the way it is. But is there more to it? Does Miss Lécuyer have her own shameful habits that are kept hidden from the rumor mill? One can only hope that she has not taken after her fallen sister!

Under normal circumstances, we here at Witch Weekly would never bother our readers with stories of those from more humble standings. But we have made an exception with one Miss Madeleine Backus, as she has seen fit to reach above said standing. Socialites, beware for your sons as one might be dazzled by her beauty and inheritance, and forget themselves in the process. It seems that the young lady has still been working on becoming one of a higher social circle even with the lack of a proper etiquette education that would be found in lessons with a childhood governess. It doesn't seem like her efforts will end any time soon.

The late Miss Rawlinson.
And last - but certainly not least - the late Miss Margaret Rawlinson. One of the brightest prospects amoung her peers, it seemed that Miss Rawlinson was likely to find a suitable match sooner rather than later. Tragedy, however, found her first. Attacked in the night, her vampiric murderer has yet to have been captured by the Ministry and face justice. We will never know who Miss Rawlinson would have been lucky enough to start a family with. If only her foolish Gryffindor bravery had not lead her, and her chaperone, out on that fateful night.

Discover Your March Horoscope!
Capricorn Look to your family and friends this March, they will prove invaluable support when it comes to decision making and there will be important decisions and risks to consider taking over the next few weeks. You're ready for that next step you need only reach out and take it, don't let fears and doubts hold you back. Don't allow impulsivity to cloud your judgement however...
Aquarius You are in a transition period and March may not be the best month of 1890 for you, but it will be instrumental in the latter half of the year. This is a time for inner reflection, hindsight, and facing up to disappointments past and present. Good things are on their way, but first patience...
Pisces Your luck will be greatest of them all this month, Pisces! Your time to shine has arrived. All you need is the confidence and fortitude to take the opportunities to prove yourself. Something big and life changing is likely to occur this month, are you ready?
Aries This month you will have success in your endeavors, at least the ones that you really apply yourself to. If you commit yourself heart and mind, there is little that can stop you in the coming weeks. Take advantage of this while you can!
Taurus You should make changes this month, Taurus. Change up routines, reconsider your life choices, embrace change! Figure out what is truly important to you and adapt accordingly. The struggles of this month will become the rewards of next month.
Gemini New opportunities will present themselves to you this month but you must be open to them. Some will be more obvious than others but it is often the opportunities hiding in plain sight that are most often missed and most often the greatest of them all.
Cancer A mystical March awaits you, Cancer! In matters of the heart you will find yourself thoroughly embroiled be it for better or worse. You will finally gain clarity in understanding what you really want and how to go about attaining it.
Leo The lion, much like the crab, will find their month ruled by passions of the heart. However, Leo's will be less conflicted and more fruitful. Your heart will be captured this month by a great love. This love may change your life so be prepared.
Virgo To all the Virgos with skeletons in your closets, beware this month for they are likely to resurface and cause you strife! You're best off keeping your head and not letting it unnerve you, the more you interfere the more you're likely to regret trying.
Libra Your career or hobby will take off this month if you work extra hard at them. Go looking for opportunity and perhaps team up with Aries, between the pair of you you will power through March and enter April soaring.
Scorpio You may experience doubts this month about your long term life choices, Scorpio. You may want to seek out new knowledge and reassurance from the world around you that you haven't chosen the wrong path. With help and time you will know which way to turn at your crossroads.
Saggitarius You're carrying a lot of resentment around with you. Old hurt and sensitive issues will haunt you this month in particular but it will also lead you to a resolution of these burdensome emotions. You'll find the will and inclination to finally move past these things that are holding you back.
