Oh, my Diary, my sweet, sweet Diary, I apologize for my absence, but do not think I have forgotten about you. I’ve just been very busy with school-work and other such things the past month; none of it is very interesting, but you may be happy to know that I have just about finished with the last stretch of my academic life: my senior thesis is completed, I found a full-time job for after graduation, and within the next month I will be moving out of college and into an apartment of my own. With this newly-found spare time, I will be resuming to a more consistent posting schedule. 
Today I attended my last lecture—ever—and I celebrated quietly with a train ride into the city. I am to go to a lolita potluck-picnic this weekend (look for a future post on that!), and I decided to splurge on an assortment of macarons for everyone to enjoy. 
I bought a very floral assortment of flavors: honey lavender, fleur, rose, and earl grey. I thought it appropriate considering we will be picnicking in a flower garden.
The pictures included in this post are of today’s coordinate; I opted for a more comfortable casual style, with Oxfords and no petticoat. The skirt is currently the oldest piece in my wardrobe: Baby the Star’s Shine Bright’s Gingham Rose Ribbon from 2007. Clever readers may recognize the name from somewhere else, as well. 
I do wish that you are all having a sweet day—and I am very much looking forward to posting here again!
My Lady,
Congratulations are due in finding a full-time job! It was a pleasure to see you have resumed your Diary posts. I met a group of lovely lolitas strolling through fields of white daffodils in a park the other day, and while they were all sweet princesses, none of them was my Princess Gingham Rose. I greatly miss your company, and selfishly lament that you are spending time amongst lace petticoats and floral skirts, rather than with a gentlemanly waistcoat cut to my figure. But I would not wish it any other way regardless, as the more people you meet the more joy you share.
Forever Yours,
~Pinstripe Price
My Prince,
My, it has been quite some time since I have had the pleasure of seeing your name in my e-mail notifications. I do hope you are well; and do not distress, I am sure soon your gentlemanly dream will come true. 😉 (And those daffodil princesses sound lovely, I must add.)
Yours,
Princess
