The Rebirth

The Renaissance is one of my favorite time periods to learn about simply because of the art/music/fashion that was created then. And, never having been to a proper Renaissance faire, I was super excited about the one being held over the weekend. It was an interesting experience and it almost felt as if I was transported back in time (other than seeing the occasional person chatting on their cell phone). Overall, I had a good time, especially putting together my outfit (which was totally last minute and not 100% Renaissance- more like modern-day Renaissance).

























Ignore the awkward smile: it was super hot out & that's all I could think about!
I think I just got insulted!?!!
Love how it says "China" at the bottom. Silly me for thinking they were handcrafted in Europe.

  20. Your outfit is perfect! I'm digging the hat. I went to a Renaissance fair 2 years ago and it was sooooo pathetic. It was very junky and almost commercialized in a way, plus everything was super expensive. I'm curious if you felt that way with the one you went to. Not to mention it was so HOT.
