Last week, during the Husky game I got a text from Ellie telling us she was going to Issaquah High School’s homecoming and could she go shopping for a dress with her bestie? Um, what? Homecoming was one week away and she wanted to go? At our high school a date is not required, just the willingness to have a good time. I love that! Ellie did end up going with two other couples but they really all went to just have fun. OKAY! Let’s make that happen!
Ellie did end up going with two other couples but they really all went to just have fun. Ellie did not end up finding a dress that day but I suspect it is because she had some very specific ideas about what she wanted to wear.
We found her dress on Amazon prime (thank goodness for two day delivery!) and the shoes just down the street. The attitude was all hers. Ha! I love that she pulled together a look that was dressy and fun and NOT super sexy. When I saw her all dressed up I exclaimed ‘You look so great!’ She leaned towards me and whispered ‘I know’ with a big grin on her face.
I love the confidence she had to go without a date, I love the confidence she had to wear this super colorful outfit when most girls were a bit more conservative and I love the confidence she has to be true to herself.
