Homecoming Day 2 - Senior Day

My 2nd spirit week theme is "in 20 years"!

I'm going to be a housewife! I'm always called a "mom" by everyone anyway, so I might as well take the opportunity to wear a cute dress during the school week! I'm wearing a dress by J. McLaughlin and I absolutely love it! 

"In 20 years" has always been my favorite senior theme because half the seniors are serious, and half dress up humorously. My best friends are going to be dictators, a pizza delivery person, and a baker. My other friends are nuns, gigolos, and housewives (like me)!

Have a great day, y'all!!

Homecoming Day 1 - On the High Seas

It's that time of year again!! Homecoming!! This is my last night school homecoming and I am so excited. Even though this week is considered "spirit week", my high school only dresses up for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and for the dance on Saturday. In the past, we've had the themes "togas", "medieval", "famous couples", "90's icons", "zombies", "superheroes", "jungle", "cowboys/cowgirls", and "60's day." I love the themes for this year, though!! The first theme, for Wednesday, is called "on the high seas." Basically, it's the choice between sailors, pirates, or mermaids. But, as I was browsing the internet for cute clothes for costumes, I found a great idea from American Apparel: a lifeguard!

It's super easy. Basically, it's just a white t-shirt and red norts. Yay! I need to find a red bikini top (probably borrowed from one of my friends), and a whistle. It's the most relaxed spirit week outfit I've ever come up with! 

I'll post pictures at the end of the week of all of the actual outfits!! 

I hope everyone has a great day!

Homecoming Day 2

Compared to my outfit success yesterday, today was not as exciting. The theme was jungle, and I had previously planned on wearing Lilly exercise wear so I could be a flamingo. I then realized that the clothes were too tight for anything other than exercise, and that I would freeze. So, I went the other path of wearing a pink Vineyard Vines skirt and black tights for the same "flamingo affect". Regardless, people asked what I was all day so that I could say uneasily "I'm...a flamingo?". No success.

In other words, today was basically a chance to ignore regular school uniform and bring my preppy weekend wear to school.

Tomorrow is red and blue day (our school colors), and I have yet to even look in my closet for a cute outfit. Wish me luck and I'll post the outfit later!

Have a great day everyone!

Homecoming Day 1

Today is the first day of "Spirit Week" at my school, even though it's a Wednesday. It's the first day of costumes for homecoming, and I am SO EXCITED! I know this is a very disappointing fact, but I decided against the Betty Draper outfit. I really wanted to do it and it was going to be so much fun, but I think that i thought of something (maybe) better? 

The theme is 1960's, and of course, everyone is basically going as hippies. My best friends are being Sesame Street characters, Jackie O, and Audrey Hepburn, though! And, for my costume, I'm being...Lilly Pulitzer! Yes, I'm obsessed. Yes, the entire summer was basically dedicated to Miss Lilly. But this is 1960's Lilly! I have everything planned out! All I'm missing is a tan!

Here is my inspiration:

And here's what I'm wearing!

This is the dress that I'm wearing. It's one of the most vintage looking shifts that I have, and it's so cute! I'm going to wear gold Jack Rogers, huge gold hoop earrings, and I'm carrying a Kate Spade basket purse!

 

Here is the secret to my sixties hair success: a Bump-It. My brother gave one to me as a joke for my birthday last year, and it's going to come in handy today!  I'm also going to be wearing a ribbon headband with huge Jackie O sunglasses! I'm so excited!

For me, the funniest thing about today is the fact that my brother will be walking the hallways of high school wearing a Gumby costume. The man at Party City assured us that "Gumby and Pokey" were in the 60's, but whatever! It's so funny and cute!

Have a GREAT day, y'all!

Success!!

I have some very good news. Next week is Homecoming...and one of the themed days is "1960's"!!!! I'm so happy because now I can successfully be BETTY DRAPER! My wish has come true!!!

So, for this extravagant day, I plan to wear this early 60's-esque dress that I found over the summer! 

I'm so excited to wear this! I actually wore it on Monday for a photo project with one of my friends, but I  get to go all out in my "Grace Kelly dress" (that's what I call it) at school!

Also, one of the other themed days is "Jungle", and I'm going to be a flamingo! That's going to be a lot of fun, actually...because I get to wear all pink!

Here's my idea.

  

Of course, I will be dressed in Lilly! I might find a pink boa to go with this, and I also will probably have a pink headband/ponytail bow, but I'M SO EXCITED!

For all the high schoolers who read this blog -- what are y'all doing for homecoming? Let me know!

Betty Draper

Homecoming for my school is right around the corner, and there has not been any official decisions as to what the themes are going to be for spirit week. There are rumors floating around that the Homecoming Dance theme is "Lady Gaga: Monster Ball" (which I actually LOVE), but there is always 1 day in that week that is dedicated to each individual grade. My goal is to have our grade be famous TV characters....so I can be Betty Draper. For the past two years we have had ridiculous themes (Medieval and Zombies...my grade is not very enthusiastic), but this one would kind of get everyone involved! Plus, early 60's clothing! Yes!

Here are my Betty inspirations:

I will not rest until I'm Betty!

I hope everyone has a great day!

xoxo, Hannah
