Guardian

My mom made and gave to me a little brunette cherub with blue eyes and blue dress when I was very young and she told me it was my guardian angel.  She said it would quietly watch over me and protect me from harm.  I still have the little darling, but I have come to discover that sometimes guardian angels are not little blue eyes babies.  In fact sometimes they are just very compassionate people with funny aliases.  My Guardian contacted me yesterday, and due to this contact, I will not give any specifics about WHERE I live exactly.  It is in the Grand State of Nevada and if you do find yourself in my neck of North America and feel inclined to stop by, send me an email and we will talk about it!

Today I wanted to wear something a little ethereal and angelic to pay tribute to all those who watch out for others.  It can be a scary world and we could all use a little help watching our backs.  I have never worn this dress before. White is a very difficult color to me, too pure, too unforgiving.  If I do wear white I dirty it down with lots of brown accents.  I couldn't help but sneak a bit of brown in this black and white palette.  I found this boho hat out thrifting yesterday (which was so fun!! Thanks Rosie!) as well as these lace up boots.  I know everyone has had a pair of these forever, but this is the first time I have actually found a pair in my size at the thrift shops.
