I told people I was going to wear a hat, a feathered head dress, an adornment on my head...whatever.
Turns out it's really called a "Facinator".
Who knew?
They're all the rage in Europe, so I've heard. It was definitely a hit last night, as different people took turns wearing it. I bet we'll see more and more of these cutsie things as the fad catches on.
Love this dress. First of all, I got it at Winners (similar to TJ Max in the States) which means it was extremely reasonable in price. Then, with a homemade crinoline, it got all swishy and swirly...great for dancing.
For those of us with a shoe fetish, these are the very best. I pull them out on State and Holy occasions.
The celebration was in honour of a 25th wedding anniversary of good friends. There was much feasting, red wine, chocolate, speeches, pranks and general hilarity--a good time was had by all.
Don't you just love to dress up? What about dancing? Do you? Does your partner?

My, don't you look sassy and fabulous. Love the dress! It reminds me of my daughter when she was a little girl. She would always beg me for a "twirly" dress. Turns out it was just the kind you are wearing in the picture. Your shoes are really cute too. You must have had a great time on the dance floor that night!
