Everything was black and white today. I wore my black and white maxi sun dress with a black lace jacket to cover my shoulders. If you remember, I always wear a jacket, shawl or wider sleeveless vest to cover my bare shoulders. The dress is thin so I wore one of my black skirts underneath. I wore my black roman sandals again which made the sundress a tad long. The black skirt had a beautiful ruffle on the bottom so I had a plan. I found myself a couple of safety pins and I hitched up the sundress and pinned it at the seams on the side up high where the vest would cover it. I could have been fancy and pinned it on the inside but I figured what the heck, the vest covers it and I won't be taking the vest off, so, it's all good -- and it was. This kept me from trampling the dress and tearing it or throwing myself down. Many is the time that a quick stitch, a broach or safety pin has altered a dress for wearing. One time I ruched a plain neckline with a broach to create a sweetheart neckline. Made all the difference in the world! So many little tricks you learn as a costumer. And all of it temporary and changeable so that you don't ruin the dress or make it permanent which makes it a more versatile outfit.
The necklace I wore was an intriguing thing made from strips of stretchy cloth that when pulled rolled in on itself. They do t-shirts that way and make neat things. On this one, they put little pearls clipped onto randomly. I really liked that. It sort of kicked it up a notch. I have always thought it would be a neat way to track students and how many Moon Rituals they have attended by giving them a bead to clip onto something like this. Yes, I'm always scheming and dreaming and such.
Which reminds me, I'm planning a pageant now. It will be in September and it's going to be fun. Details on that another time.
And this was it for Day 46.
Bright Blessings and Blessed Be!
