Using your garb in the mudane life/ incorcorating it into your day

[Jack Daw at Work]

Occasionally, we have Blue Jean Weeks to raise money (you pay $15 for the privilege) for the United Way and UNCF.  I offered to pay more to wear the kilt, but my bank manager said no.

Keep fighting the battle!! Haha
My work lets us dress up on halloween... *evil laughter* There's two rennies here... they'll understand.

I wear my corset out, especially to the local goth club.  The gothy folk complimented me on it a lot when we went a few weeks ago

I've worn my wrap pants, my piratey bloomers, my jewelry, some of my skirts. 

But I dress kind of different anyway so nothing seems very off limits to me anyway lol

I ALWAYS wear a costume to work on Halloween!  I think this year I will go pirate!

Occasionally, I have visited a bank in El Paso, TX, in which ALL employees are REQUIRED to wear a costume all the way up to the President.  That's a bank to work for.  Yes, there was one fellow dressed as William Wallace.

Do you mean everyday, or just on Halloween?

For whatever reason, this week my feet were killing me.  No matter whether I wore my Birkenstock sandals or my tennis shoes with orthotics, they hurt non-stop.  So I decided one day to wear my black tie-around-the-ankles Dream Shoes with a skirt.  They felt like wearing marshmallows, very comfy.

Kilt usage!



Go Ravens!

Looking good there Dallan.

Oo, just at Halloween.

Thank you Lady M. Opening day this season was the first time. It was well received. I had many lovely ladies inquire whether I was wearing a true kilt. Even had two who took it upon themselves to confirm my answer when I turned my back.

i always have a solid black bandana on, and some of my piratey necklaces never leave my body... some times i have the boots on too

funny enough i go to the grocery store wearing my mundane wear and i get stopped and asked if the renn faire is in town

[CaraGreenleaf]

I've been known to wear my corset under mundanes simply because I have a bad back and the corset gives great support and forces good posture! Nevermind the reactions I got at the fabric store after I first made it:

"How'd the corset turn out, Cara?"

"Great!" *lifts up shirt to show it off*

....silence....
"Looks great!"

[Zardoz]

I often incorporate parts of my 'mundane' wardrobe into faire garb 

[Hausfrau Monica]

I have a basket that I carry at Faire.  I have tied bells on it and I just love the gentle tinkling sound.  I take it with me to the grocery store now that we must take our own bags/carriers and get some very interesting looks.  It reminds me of fun and new friends.

We had a Gilligan's Island contest today at work, with prizes for the best costumes of one of the castaways.  I went as "Lovey" Howell.  People were raving over my beautiful black parasol with the pearls sewn all over it.  It is the parasol I use with my noble garb.  I also wore the 7 strand pearl necklace that I bought for the same reason (faire).  Voting was still going on when I left for the day, so I don't know if I won, but even if I didn't, I don't mind, because I looked at the parasol sitting at the end of my desk and all day thought of faire.
