Yes, that's right. A full 26 days ahead of time.
Because that's how we roll. We won't be tied down to your "calenders" and "historical accuaracy" Pilgrims, shmilgrims.
And this is what I wore in an effort to placate my grandmother and avoid those inevitable "You're not wearing that, are you?" comments. In reality, my gran is a total firecracker - 88, still living at home, quilting like a mad woman and holding the world record for Best Mashed Potatoes Ever. But the woman does not have a lot of love for leg warmers, nose rings or, um, exposed thigh.
Do you dial down the fashion experiments around your more conservative family members?

that! is a cute outfit. yes, a "cute outfit." because this is minnesota. also, per our conversation, i have rocked the wide-belt-under-boobies-with-a-tunic-length-shirt. sometime i'll tell you what jack (from work) said to me. hahahah
um... nope! not at all, haha. i have a full sleeve, pink hair and facial piercings, i don't think the clothes i wear could shock them any more than the rest of my appearance does, lol...
YAY for conservative Grandmas-dressing! Lol. My mum still tries to make me cover my tattoos when my dad is around. It gets pretty hot when I am visiting them in summer and have to wear long sleeves *eye roll*
I love your blog, I am totally faux-mo-ing it up this weekend!
P.S. Sequins to work = Awesome.
Haha... aww.. u look sweet.. Well I just try not to wear anything too cleavage-y ... yeah. Say around my MIL or Old Chinese Grandad...
I went to visit my Grandma one day and I had a hood on...
Grandma: Why do you have a hood on ? is your hair not done ?
Me: I actually just got my hair done yesterday
Grandma: Can I see it ?
Me: *hesitates* pulls hood off *reveals braided MoHawk*
Grandma:*frowns* Put your hood back on
At that time my feelings were slightly hurt, but I continue to try to be myself no matter who I am around.
Zavi! Great minds must think a like - I do a really similar hair style without the braiding. It's my go-to going out hair do. So cute!
1. I remember when I was younger + first wearing makeup, my mom wouldn't let me put mascara on my bottom lashes any time we were going to my grandparents house. Weird?
2. I got my nose pierced a few years ago... but I guess it looks "natural" cause nobody seems to really notice!
3. I have tattoos and if my grandma saw... I think she'd flip! They aren't hard to hide, but I do have to be conscious of what I wear!
4. I'm kind of a fashionista... I usually have to "dress down" for my fam. or I get crap for looking "so dressy!"
+ yaay for oversharing on my part!
:D
No such thing as over sharing in these parts, Annie!
I have an outfit almost exactly like that;
I must say you have amazing taste :)
i must know where your fashion-shoot location is. it it in your neighborhood? it's the perfect backdrop.
Em, It's the little garden-y alley between my apartment building and the next one. It is also, apparently, the storage place for a red scooter, a gold scooter and a rocking horse! :)
