Modern Renaissance

I spent Sunday amidst kings and queens, fairies and mermaids, knights and warriors, and lots of mud and men in tights at the Renaissance Festival! Always one to dress for an occasion, I scanned my closet for something derivative of the theme but came up empty-handed -- no peasant dresses or crushed velvet capes to be found. But I didn't give up altogether. Rather than going for a fair maiden look, I went a tougher route with a faux fur vest, over-the-knee boots and armor-esque necklace.
