Dressed to the nines...

 

We were going to Blanc de Blanc encore and at a party the night before, one of the people I was going with asked "How dressed up are you getting for it?" I told her I had this ridiculous sequin dress that I never wear because it is 'too much' but because I was walking the 3.5 kms to get there, I'd be in my disco kicks (sequin sneakers). She said "Oh good, I have this Comme des Garcons jacket that I never wear because it's so full on"

The next day in the group texts she said the last time she wore it, her daughter asked her "What are you going as?"

I replied "Awesome. Did you tell her you were going as awesome?"

And thus, our little group was dressed to the nines, in shimmering or sparkling splendor, even though it was 5.30 and daylight.

What I loved most, even as my friend and I walked up King Street, we barely caught anyone's attention. Such is Newtown, where anything goes (despite the gentrification).

As we sat in our little faux French universe, with other well dressed people, it felt like we were all playing a game together. Instead of feeling silly, it felt fun and uplifting.

It's something we should do more often....so I'm glad it's only a month or so away when I celebrate with Gatsby....

And if you haven't been, the season's been extended so get yourself some tickets to a fun & kooky cabaret.

They have a spotify playlist here . And they had this song in French. I can't find it anywhere. Any clues what it is?
