I’m so pleased that it’s Friday. Not only is it Good Friday, but it’s the beginning of a long weekend. I get four days off work for Easter, and I am so excited. I’m planning on going to church (several times in fact, there are quite a few mass services over the Easter weekend) and spending loads of time catching up with family and friends who are in town for the holiday. I’d also like to make a start on some spring cleaning that’s been hanging over my head for quite a while.
Today is also Fancy Friday, a weekly event dreamed up by Dapper Dolly to encourage people to dress up at the end of the week. Fancy Friday gives Casual Friday a kick in the pants and lets glamour and gorgeousness reign supreme!
Today I was feeling a bit of a punk princess vibe. I know that I’ve worn this dress for Fancy Friday before, but I can’t help busting it out again. It really is one of my favourite wardrobe items.
I am wearing:
– Silver ear cuff
– Diamente stud earrings (inherited from my Nana)
– Black pearl necklace (inherited from my Nana)
– Black lace corset dress from 7 Angels.
– Black and white cardigan from Cotton On
– Black and purple 1/2 and 1/2 tights from Ambra
– Comic book platform heels from Betts

I had hoped to wear my hair in a sleek ponytail today. However it simply wouldn’t cooperate. Every time I smoothed one piece down, another strand would pop up in another spot. I decided to abandon the idea of a sleek do and just go with the messy texture my hair seemed determined to maintain.
Instead, I played around with this funky triple-decker bun. I really liked the way my hair turned out. Next time, I think I’ll really define the parts between the buns, tease out my hair even more and make it into a kind of faux-hawk style.
I’m so pleased that it’s cool enough to wear tights again. I do love a bit of fancy legwear, and it’s wonderful to be able to dip into my hosiery collection once again. These half-and-half tights are an old fave of mine, and they’ve lasted remarkably well through four years of regular wear.
I hope that you all have a wonderful long weekend. What do you have planned?

Woohoo, Punk Princess indeed, and rocking it!
I am also pleased it’s tights weather again, but I didn’t get much bare legged time over Summer anyway!
I do love a good long weekend. I’m planning to get over a head cold, do lots of cooking and maybe some sewing!
Enjoy, lovey! XXX
You do have the most exceptional collection of tights to show off, Helga!
Love that dress!
Thank you! It’s one of my favourites (in case you couldn’t tell by the fact that I wear it so often).
