Saturday was Bright Lights Night at Koinonia (a Bright Light's Night for family with kids up to grade 6). We all dressed up in very bright clothing and us SLI's did the games and helped pass out candy at the end. Here is my "outfit" that I wore:
For those of you who saw this on Facebook and wanted a little more detail:
-The red Scarf was someone all of us SLI's got for helping at an event at the church
-The blue suit coat I have had my eye on at a store called K&K (which is basically the BigLots of Costco - stuff that doesn't sell well or is returned to Costco is sold at K&K for a reduced price). Though I didn't get this earlier because it was too expensive, but it so happened that Friday when I went all there clothing was 50% off. - It is now one of my new "best friends."
-The pants: I didn't have any bright pants nor could I find any affordable ones in stores. While I was at a store (like Goodwill or Salvation Army) I found a large sewing cloth that I decided to use as a cape. Then at K&K I got a Bright Pink woman bathrobe (that was too short) that I was going to ware upside down (my legs through the sleeves). But Saturday morning I decided that that looked to ridiculous and decided to try someone thing different. So I spent about three and a half hours sewing (by hand) the cloth into a pair of pants (that I am waring in the picture). It was worth it, and they fit well!!! - I am using the bathrobe's sting-thingy as a belt (not visible in the picture).
Sewing by HAND?!? Very impressed ... especially if they stayed on all night!
