To help put me in the holiday spirit…
I accepted an invitation to attend
the Madigral Feaste at a local university
with eleven fabulous ladies.
(It was dark & snowy...so we stayed indoors...
Bianca didn't miss the opportunity!)
Bianca didn't miss the opportunity!)
It was a magnificent event filled with song, improv, and delicious food
put on by the university’s theatre and music departments.
Originally…I had planned a Jester-inspired dress…
as the evening was to be full of medieval-style entertainment...
then I re-read the invite shortly before leaving…
it read “seasonably casual”??
Knowing where I live and what that meant…
I thought “I don’t own a jingle bell sweater?!”
And was at an absolute loss of what
“seasonably casual” would be in my closet??
Plus…I relish any opportunity I receive to put on a dress
and feel all glamorous!?
I settled on this red and black plaid skirt…seasonably…check!
Added a denim jacket…casual...check!
Christmas bulb-like necklace...totally seasonably...check!
Headed out the door…after kissing the “kids.”
Happy Holidays!!
Also...I was so happy I dug out the floral pins...they prompted a conversation
with a young lady that recently moved out here...she and her
sister enjoy designing stockings, pins, and hairbands.
I hope to feature their fabulous pieces on my blog!
