Something jarring happens when people step out of their usual roles, whether it’s a shift in style or attitude or appearance. For some reason, we want our friends to be who we think they are, the people we think we know. Personally, I appreciate a chameleon or an octopus more than a leopard who doesn’t change its spots. That’s why I adore this ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ spread of the ‘Downton Abbey’ ladies reversing their upstairs/downstairs roles. (And clearly Lady Mary rocks both stairs. Just saying.)
Speaking of role reversals, stay tuned this week for a post on my adventures in babysitting the twins – our first sleepover was a smashing success, setting the stage for when we take them to Boston for the Children’s Holiday Hour in December…
