Lavender's blue


Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly, lavender's green
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so

Outfit Details:
Jenny Dress in Lavender Sateen: Pinup Girl Clothing
Feeling Festive Headband in Lilac: ModCloth
Lilac flower ring: LeffKatya

Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some to the plow, dilly, dilly, some to the fork
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm







Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, lavender's blue
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, and the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way






I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, you'll be my king
Who told me so, dilly, dilly, who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so








Have a lovely Saturday!

Mid-spring daydream

On this sunny (albeit chilly) day, I wanted to take the opportunity to take more pictures outside!  Despite the fact that it's still way too cold to be wearing a dress like this... I just didn't care.  It's been waiting in my closet for long enough!  And it's too beautiful to keep hidden.


Outfit Details:
Under the Open Sky Dress: ModCloth
Fleur Any Occasion Headband: ModCloth
Ballet slippers: Bailey's Slipper Shop (I think)

I will probably not be able to wear these ballet slippers for their intended purpose ever again, since they've been outside... but they were old anyway.







The combination of this dress, floral crown and ballet slippers make me think of A Midsummer Night's Dream (which makes sense I guess, since it's romantic and ethereal and there is a ballet of it).  But since it's nowhere near summer here, I thought this title would be slightly more appropriate (at least, seasonally).  Also, it rhymes.  This also seems the perfect way to wrap up my Shakespeare-filled weekend (which is funny, since I actually took these pictures last Sunday, before I even planned my posts for the coming week)!  I couldn't have planned it better if I had tried (and oddly, I didn't)!  






Have a dreamy day!
