Olive Brocade in the Wind

We are in between snows here in Colorado, it is supposed to bury us in white again this weekend. People were out in droves today at the local wildlife reserve biking and walking the trails in the sunshine before the snow drives everyone indoors again. I am still discovering new parks locally, and this one lines the river just behind the shopping center where I work! I had never been back here, but I am sure I will be back. I am always looking for groves of trees or a forest type of setting as they seem rare in my area, and I think this place will fit the bill once spring returns and brings new leaves.

You guys may recognize this dress as one of the first of the Renaissance inspired dresses I made last fall. I noticed how well it would match my old olive green silk 18th century bergere style hat and had to try the two together! I had a bit of fun doing my hair today too, the front is in victory rolls and I rolled a bun in the back using one of those net/foam rats.

I'm not quite ready for the snow to descend again, I am already dreaming about summer clothes!
