My company is doing a "Fridays of Fun" thing for the summer. Each Friday has a theme, and I'm stumped for a few of them. I'm not willing to spend any money other than maybe to pick up something cheap at a dollar store or Goodwill or something. Everyone votes on who has the best outfit, and I'd like to win at least once.
(It's a small office.)
I'm sure some of these have been rush themes for some of you ...
Rules are - outfits must be PG-rated and non-offensive. Participation is optional.
May 15 is All Black Day. I've got that covered. (My mother-in-law criticizes me because half the time I look like I'm going to a funeral.)
May 22 is Camo Day. I own nothing camo.
May 29 is Harry Potter Day. I have a hand-knitted Ravenclaw scarf and a witch's hat from a Halloween costume. I can also use my husband's robe from when he earned his master's degree, but I'm afraid of tripping over it (he's 5'11", I'm 5'2").
June 5 is "Grease Day" as in the movie. I'm at a loss here.
June 12 is Crazy Hat Day. I can reuse the witch's hat for this.
June 19 is Plaid Day. I have some old flannel shirts.
June 26 is Hawaiian Shirt Day. I do not own a Hawaiian shirt.
July 3 is a holiday (Independence Day observed).
July 10 is Summer Whites / Linens Day. I have the perfect blazer for this.
July 17 is 90's Day. Again, I'm at a loss. I was in high school and college during the 90's and pretty much lived in t-shirts and jeans - which doesn't exactly scream "90's". I can't do "big hair" (which I vaguely recall was still a thing in the early 90's) because my hair is stick-straight and won't take product.
July 24 is Disney Day. Once again, I'm at a loss.
July 31 is Christmas in July. I have a lightweight red cardigan and a green shell, so I think I'm good there.
August 7 is 60's Day. Yet again, I'm at a loss.
August 14 is Beach Day. I can't really get away with wearing my swimsuit to the office (LOL) but I have a big straw hat and I can wear a tank top and shorts.
August 21 is Nautical Day. I own nothing nautical themed. I could wear something navy blue...
August 28 is Black Tie Day. This, I can cover - I have some nice dresses, or I could be silly and wear my husband's tux jacket, tie, and vest with my own blouse and slacks.
September 4 is Sports Team Day. I ran track in high school and college, and if I can dig up a shirt or jacket from those days, I'm set.
Notice how many of these themes involve wearing something warm (flannels, all black, a freaking wool scarf and graduation robe) in the middle of a New England summer?!
And my coworkers tell me that the A/C usually makes the office frigid, but we've had some pretty hot days recently and I have been melting.
So, any ideas for those Fridays where I can't figure what to wear?
