Strolling under my Umbrella

“A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain" - Robert Frost 

By an act of wonderful serendipity this dress and pose/prop were among different boxes I opened this morning, and I was a happy little blogger when I realised how well they would work together :).

The lovely dress is from DandelionWine and comes in a selection of beautifully textured fabrics, all shown above, and changeable via hud.  I love how muted and understated the fabrics are, and with the slight train at the back, it has a very ladlylike and feminine appeal.

The pose and umbrella are a special from *~*Hopscotch*~* for Genre which runs from 15 Dec to 12 January, with a theme of Victoriana.  *~*Hopscotch*~* has a number of items at this round of Genre, but the prop/pose shown here costs just 10L  I think it works perfectly with this dress, transporting me back to a time less complicated and more innocent.
