I'm not Coming Home

The cooler weather got me thinking about fall, the start of school, football season and homecoming. I'm not going to my high school's homecoming. Gosh no! It's been 10 years since I left the place. I'm just happy that I'm not in high school anymore, and worried about coming up with different "costumes" for all the theme days. The horrible and inexplicable themes we were presented with. Especially since my school had to come up with 2 different ones. Themes for the people running in the homecoming court and the other students.

Which got me thinking when did the tradition of "spirit week" start? The traditions of dressing up and stuff like that. I asked my parents and they had no recollection of it. Just a football game, a dance and a court. (They collectively went to high school from about 1965-1975. They aren't the same age either.) Was it like the 80s? Because I remember my neighbor had a float frame the garage. Her and other high schoolers would come to her house and build it. This would have been circa 1987.

If anybody has any insight on this please leave a comment. Thanks.

Spring Fashions

Since it is spring now people are wearing spring colors. You know like pastels and stuff. Fall calls for darker colors like black, maroon, chocolate brown, and emerald green. Of course there is no set rule on what colors you can and can’t wear during a particular season.

The one thing I do have to say is that I like when the spring nail colors come out. They are usually pastels or really bright day glo colors.

I’m wearing this lovely blue nail polish I bought last year. I’m still looking for a nice lavender one. I love lavender nail polish. I even wore it to my junior prom. It has to either pastel or really flat. I don’t want one with a silvery undertone in it. It doesn’t have to be iridescent because now I have an iridescent glittery top coat.This is an old picture from an old magazine. Street Wear isn't even made by Revlon anymore.
