What to Wear

You don't want to be caught looking like a loser at Rosario Head this fall. The fashion forward will take these tips to heart:

-Casual elegance (emphasis on "casual") is the way to go. You'll be outside for a good part of the day, enjoying a state park, lawn games and hopefully plenty of sunshine. Dress for comfort, but don't be afraid to show you've got style.
-Layers may be your best bet to avoid the breeze blues. Keep a jacket in hand, it can get gusty on top of the bluff. (Ladies may want to order their coiffure accordingly.) Don't worry: the after-party will be taking place in an area protected from the wind.
-Umbrellas are the accessory of choice for those who want to be noticed at Rosario this September. Keep one in hand to keep things from getting out of hand.
-Heels are a complete fashion no-no this season at Rosario. While red carpets and catwalks have been the bearers of fashionable feet for decades, Rosario's rustic paths call for a whole new vogue. Ladies - comfortable flats only. Gentlemen - leave your polished leathers in the closet.

And remember, the paparazzi will be present, so if you forget to wear anything else, don't forget your smile! (But please don't forget to wear anything else.)

I feel like such an insider! Good to know that gusty-bluff chic and lawn-frolic elegance will be all the rage this fall. I'll be sure to pick up my sequined umbrella from the dry cleaner's before we come.

This was fun and informative, Grace. You should get a job writing for a fashion magazine.

Grace & Curtis, wow, it sure is exciting! Carol & I are thrilled to get to be at your wedding, as we come back to the NW the end of Aug. for the new grandbaby for a month. The coolest fashion I've seen was at Jocelyn (IJM) & Jeff's Aug. '06 wedding in Virginia where all the groomsmen were wearing flip flops (I'll send the foto).

Grace, I visited the website on the off-chance that I might find the answer to John's "what to wear?" inquiry and low and behold, there was an entire link. Glorioskey, Grace, but you are dabomb! Can't wait to see you! Love, Auntie Lois
