Pink Dream

This I believe is one of my favourite photoshoots I've done.  I just love the complimentary colours of the dress with the cherry blossoms in the background.

This was the first time I got to wear this vintage dress.  I bought it back in October when I went thrifting with my cousins from Maine when they came to town.  It looks just so lovely with the tree in the background.  I adore flowering trees, especially cherry blossoms.

I remember the day I wore this dress.  It was a Thursday because I went to the library in the evening to help out with the Jane Austen event.  They needed an extra body to help them practice the Austen period dances.  It was jolly good fun learning them and I hope to be able to use that knowledge one day since I couldn't actually attend the event.

I usually don't wear such long frocks, but I felt very elegant and ladylike in this.  I was still playing around with my flapper hair, so I tried on a headpiece to see how I liked it.

I am quite thankful it's Friday.  It's been a rather long week for me and there's a busy weekend ahead of me. It shall be fun nonetheless.  I need to make a leather satchel by Monday (a holiday here) for another visit to the Renaissance Faire.  I won't have time to make the whole outfit from a pattern that I purchased.  I will jsut put pieces together from what I already have.

Hope you all had a lovely week.  And here's to the weekend.  Tally-ho!

Flowering Trees Are My Favourite

Spring is, er...was in the air.  By the time this outfit has hit the blog, summer has now reared its ugly head and is in full force.

The weather has been weird lately with lots of thunderstorms and humidity.  It's not so good for the hair.

This top is one of my favourites.  I thrifted it from my local Goodwill and fell in love with it immediately.

Flowering trees have always been a favourite of mine.  When I was growing up we had a Dogwood tree in our front yard.  When I saw this tree in the park, I knew I had to make it my backdrop for photos until it stopped blooming.  So be prepared to see this backdrop for the next few sets of photos.

Tonight R and I are going to see some fireworks that his mates are setting off.  It's a bit late, but some folks were on holiday during the Fourth.  I'm hoping the weather holds out since it seems like it might storm again.  It's weird being in jeans and boots, but the venue can be dirty apparently so I have to forgo my normal girly attire.

Outfit Details:

vintage top, vintage hat, handbag {thrifted}

vintage skirt, vintage jewellery {grandmother's}

shoes {payless}

Not entirely sure what my weekend looks like beyond tonight.  Hopefully I'll have something fun to do.

What are your weekend plans?
