...To a First Fire Party?

You are driving to my house for my first annual "First Fire" party. It is a crisp, cold day and you are admiring the gorgeous leaves that are at their peak. Just then, a few snowflakes start drifting down...an early snow!! It doesn't stick, but the contrast of the white flakes with the vibrant leaves is making gorgeous scenes in your windshield.

You arrive at my house and are greeted with some mulled cranberry apple cider. (There might be a little Captain Morgan's in it...)

We head to the kitchen to make caramel apples. Ours don't turn out as pretty as these...but we still can't wait to eat them!

As it gets dark, we head into the living room to start the fire. It catches on the first try!! (Its my lucky day!) We sit around, drinking mulled cider, munching on caramel apples and trying to top each other's absurd stories. We attempt to make some popcorn in the fire, but it burns...it was good for some laughs though!

As the fire dies out, we are sleepy and decide that we are too wholesome...so we chug a redbull and head out to the bars!

What would you wear to my first annual First Fire party?

Abby's Clam Bake Outfit

Clam bake by wwywblog

Oooh!! I have always wanted to go to a clambake...I hope I do everything right! I'd be so nervous about getting everything ready that I would wake up waaaay too early and be completely ready by 11 AM. So I would take the opportunity to frolic in the water in my cute new, retro inspired, cutout bathing suit. Sunscreen, spf lipgloss and a cute hat would protect me from the sun. I would put on my capri's and sleeveless shirt to finish getting ready for the party. I brought my ipod and speakers for background music during dinner and citronella candles to keep away the bugs. After dinner, I would put on my sweater to keep away the chill after the sun goes down, and spread out a blanket to curl up on next to the fire. A talented friend would entertain us by playing songs while we made smores and sang along.

...To a New England Clam Bake?

You live on the Cape and spent the morning "clamming" in order to host a proper clam bake this evening.

This is the spot of your clam bake

And this is the spread for your guests

Your guests will marvel at the succulent clams

As the sun starts to set, a bonfire is built

You toast marshmallows and make smores for dessert

What would you wear to a proper New England beachside clam bake?

Steph's PTA Clothes

My PTA Outfit would demonstrate immediately that I am in the mom crowd. I am one of them. They can trust me to make the choices that will coddle and protect their special treasures. I would start with classic "mom jeans" and a garish sweater because Cameron gave it to me for Christmas. A proper headband with pearls show I am predictable and cliched. Just the thing you want in a PTA President. In my simple brown bag, I would have crayons and coloring books to entertain the children, car keys to my mini van and a day planner so I could keep track of Cameron and Maddy's overscheduled life full of soccer practices, ballet classes, and art trips.

...To a PTA Meeting

You are the perfect wife and devoted mother. You have 2 beautiful kids that are always perfectly behaved, impeccably groomed and are smart, creative and athletically talented.




You are very involved in their school and have decided to run for PTA President. Tonight is the meeting that you will announce your intentions and give your impassioned speech about how the playground isn't safe enough for your little Cameron and Madison and how the school should switch over to all organic food in the cafeteria. What do you wear in order to make them understand how seriously you take your platform and still not tarnish your perfect Stepford Wife image?

Abby's Gallery Crawl

art crawl by wwywblog

After arriving on my Vespa, with my scarf trailing behind me in the wind, I would take off my helmet and shake out my hair into prefect waves. I'd stroll through the galleries, admiring the talent on show, wishing I could do something as creative and amazing. I'd chat with one artist who wondered where I bought my sweet, thigh-high boots and then I'd buy my favorite piece and pay in all origami animals :)

...To an Art Walk

You are going to enjoy a night amongst the local artists and hipsters at the monthly Art Hop

You will walk the streets of a historic neighborhood in the heart of the city, surrounded by beautiful old churches and charming art galleries...

You will explore galleries like this...

And sip wine and nibble cheese like this...

You may decide to stop in a local bar and listen to some live music during your stroll

And end the stroll at a pedestrian bridge, where you can star gaze and dance and relish in the cool night air.

What would you wear to a hip night spent strolling art galleries and listening to local musicians?
