Playing Dress Up

The hero and I, dressed up for a party we attended recently:

My outfit:

• My old Gunne Sax, from the ’70s.
• My boots, from the ’70s.
• Dd2’s wig, which she uses for theatre.  (She was kinda creeped out seeing me in it, since we look a little bit alike.)

His outfit:

• Vest his dad made for his mom, in the ’70s, from a kit.
• T-shirt given to Dd1 by a relative a few years ago.  Front is a record store logo, back is a slogan mentioning the ’70s.
• Wristband, authentically his from the 70s.
• His old jeans, which he split up the side seams in order to insert the calico bell-bottom effect.  The fabric he used coordinated with the dress I was planning on wearing; planning on wearing, that is, until he zipped it up for me, which action was quickly followed by, “get it off! I can’t breathe”.  lol
• Note also the leather thongs hanging down the sides, coordinating with the moccasins (not from the ’70s).

Playing dress up, in this case, was in honor of a friend’s birthday which we were celebrating with ’70s murder mystery.  This was our first murder mystery; I would definitely do it again!
