Happy Independence Day all! I hope everyone has some yummy barbecues and parties to look forward to. And fireworks! Gosh, I love fireworks.
I'm planning on relaxing the rest of the day because I was up early this morning getting into my 1776 best. Well maybe not my best, but I thought this chintz was red, white, blue and very appropriate.
I walked with the Southern Nevada Living History Association in a "timeline," ranging from Ancient Rome to WWII. Marina, from Enlightened Age, and I represented the 18th century.

| My dress is pulled up through the pockets, to keep it off the ground. This way of rucking up the robe is called "retrousse dans les poches," and is not to be confused with "a la polonaise," which uses tapes. |

| My red American Duchess Kensingtons. I totally love them. So comfy! |
And after the parade was over we popped over to the park and took some cute pictures. I'll have to take better pictures of my accessories and show them in detail. Maybe tomorrow...
!!! You are both so perfectly dressed! WOW! I love your polonaise gown, hat, the whole thing, hair, omg! And yay to repping the Great State of Nevada :-)
ReplyDeleteoops, retrousse dans le poches! sorry!
DeleteThanks a million! It was so fun to find out about the living history association recently. Their timeline events are great, since there isn't too much call for 18th century in Nevada, as you well know lol.
