Floriade {Maiden of the Daffodil} ~ Outfit Nineteen

This week has been rather full ~ after our long weekend holiday at the beach {mostly occupying ourselves by playing Killer Bunnies and Munchkins} I have ridden Copper, taken my sister for her driving test {she is now on her P plates}, spent time with family and done a whole bunch of stuff I can not remember.   Oh, and got a bit of reading in too….   > > 

So as a consequence of the blogging absence, {sorry everyone!} this Friday I decided to skip the confessions, and just do a gratifying outfit post instead.   And yes, I do wear glasses.   I usually take them off for photos, but in one of them I forgot and I liked the picture too much to care.   So that’s me with my spectacles on.    I do want to change them over though as I feel that the frames really don’t suit my style any more.   But enough of that, let’s get on with the real post.  

My sister and I visited Floriade two weeks ago, which is a flower display in Canberra that happens every spring.  It’s free entry, so a lot of tourist visit the display and so do a lot of locals.  Once they tried to put on an entry fee, but no body went!

Anyway, it’s a really nice afternoon out, strolling between the beds of tulips, daffodils, pansies and other lovely flowers.  My sister and I really enjoyed it.   We took photographs of course!

 

This is another of my Jane Austin inspired outfits.  This dress is quintessential Regency style, with the exception that it is cut to fall just below the knee.  If it was floor length, and the cloth was muslin {instead of a nasty modern polyester cotton blend} it would be ideal.  Oh, okay, and the colour would have to change.  I am not sure that they wore navy blue as a dress colour back then.   I still like it though.

This was my first outfit shoot in public and I must say, it is a bit a nerve wracking.   I noticed some people staring which was awkward, but I just ignored them and as a whole, most people did not really seem to care.  I guess that’s because you always take photographs at Floriade so it isn’t altogether that usual.   

The most embarrassing part of the whole thing was that I realized that I was flashing everyone during one my of poses, but I did not know that until after I saw the pictures and of course by then it was too late!!!  = >.< =   *dies*  Seriously, colour me mortified.   I really wish my sister had warned me but oh well, what’s done is done.

Have you ever had an accidental flash in public?

xox,
