A Midsummer Night’s Dream

My friend recently did a contemporary costuming of this production.  I kind of think I could be one of the Wood Fairies.

I LOVE this floral print.  It reminds me of shiny fancy wallpaper (maybe faux-fancy), or an oil painting from the museum wing I usually avoid.  It was $10 at H&M, and there were two women discussing it as I was shopping.  One said to the other, “is this pretty?  Or will I look like a sofa?”  Her friend said she’d look like a sofa.  I should have convinced her to be a Wood Fairy with me.

Note the shoes.  I bought them, along with a pink dress with sheer black overlay, as a reward for a promotion 13 yrs ago.  Also note the earrings.  I like how they look like some kind of hanging weeping blooms.
