Theme: Vintage Children's Books


We've been inspired by The Giving Tree, Where the Wild Things Are, James and the Giant Peach, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Maybe Garden, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn...





We invite you to don attire inspired by your favorite children's book (or book of your childhood).  Some other ideas follow:

The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Googley eyes... antennas, wings... or come as a piece of food- the colors of a watermelon or a lollipop!)


Eloise


Corduroy


Charlotte's Web
Aside from Alice, you could be, a rabbit with a pocketwatch, a wise caterpillar with a pipe, a wild hare, a mad hatter (I think my dad is going this route, but if you want to too, go right ahead; I’m sure no one will be madder than he)… You could be a Cheshire Cat, a card-person, a mock-turtle, the Queen or King of Hearts, Tweedledum or Tweedledee…
    

Consider adding ears or an animal snout to your ensemble!  Wings or a cape!  Anything colorful!  Of course, we want you to wear what makes you feel comfortable, so if that's a straight-up dress or slacks-and-shirt-combo, that is fantastic.
