When I waltzed in to work (I only waltz on Fridays) today, Erin said "You look cute today. You look like a duchess." I don't know if it's the locket or the flowy pleated gathered hip dress like those that Edwardian era children wore. That made me smile because I like being likened to a nobility and everything vintagey. Thad already calls me Queen of Effin' Everything. I am also fond of that word duchess. I have a penchant for anything least liked by everyone. Every little girl wants to be a princess but never a duchess. In old Russia, the little royal princess was called Archduchess. The Princess title is actually a lower title bestowed to daughters of minor Russian princes who precide over principalities that are equivalent to a baronetcy in England. Ahhh the things I pick up from reading too many Barbara Cartland novels.

So anydaydreamyway...I love putting together outfits that seem hopeless to me at first glance, why I buy them regardless, I will never know. I've had the gray top for months and it was only when I bought that skirt last weekend that I realized that top doesn't seem hopeless anymore. The flowery skirt is peaking under the gray drabness of the top, it's my take on spring wanting to happen already!!! That embroidered boho bag is lovely. Erin got it for me for a dollar at the thrift store.

Happy Friday everyone! May the weekend not go by so fast...
