What a difference a year makes! Every year our Brownie community sponsors a Sock Hop. Last year was Maura's troops 1st year. So as we prepared for the dance, I pulled out Maura's outfit, it consisted of; jeans rolled up, bobby socks, saddle shoes (thank goodness she owns them for school), a t-shirt & pony tail with a long scarf. Well, needless to say in true fashionista style, Maura was not thrilled. "No one dresses like that!" she said, "I'm going to look stupid", she cried. I had to go as far as pulling up the Roaring 50's on the computer to show her she was dressing appropriately. She relented & wore the said outfit, and was relieved she did once she arrived at the dance.
Fast forward 1 year, and my daughter kindly reminded me that I said I would make her a Poodle Skirt for this year. Lucky me-these kids forget nothing! So, I whipped up a hot pink poodle skirt pronto & Maura was so excited to wear these memories of a time gone by this year! And she looked so cute.
