Yes, my remix challenge is over, and yes, I’m remixing these boots again. I swear it’s not an addiction. I can stop remixing whenever I want.

Anyway, when I got this necklace from Sylca Designs, I felt like it had “Christmas” written all over it! So naturally I wore it on Friday to Circle of Lights in downtown Indianapolis. That’s when they string lights on a big monument so it looks like a giant Christmas tree. The night involves calling four restaurants to get a dinner reservation, sitting in traffic, paying $15 to park, fighting huge crowds of people, and standing outside in the cold…but it’s just so darn festive you don’t really mind.

See?

Animal (Fashion) House

It’s Friday, folks! Why not do something a little different today? Glad you suggested it. Last week I spent a fabulous day at ZooBoo at the Indianapolis Zoo. I’m a big fan of our zoo already, but ZooBoo is an especially fun time to go because the zoo is all decorated! If you’re in the area, I really recommend going, especially if you love Halloween and/or have young kids.

Anyway, when I was there, I saw lots of little kids dressed up as animals. We’ve all worn at animal costume at least once in our lives, right? For Halloween or a school play or dance recital? I know I have. But I also got to thinking how funny it is that a lot of regular clothes we wear as adults have some pretty obvious animal influence. And why shouldn’t they? Animals always look fabulous.

I put together a few examples inspired by some of the animals I saw at the Indy Zoo. This is mostly just for fun, but I’ve included links to the clothes in case you’re interested in where to buy. And don’t worry…as far as I know, none of the animals pictured were actually used to make the clothes! 🙂

I got this opportunity thanks in part to my membership of Indy Social Media Moms. But all opinions are my own – I love the zoo!
