Hippie Day vs. Mom's Past

This week at school is "spirit week", and each day has a different theme to dress to. Monday was Pajama Day, and I wore my... oddly enough... baggy dragon pajama pants and tank top. Tuesday was Random Day... I just wore my red t-shirt from threadless.com: http://www.threadless.com/product/209/Fire_and_Ice#zoom

but today was Hippie Day. Earlier in the week I asked Mom what I should wear on Hippie Day. She offered an old dress that she still has; it's all patched up in a clamshell pattern down the skirt and has a wide neck. The fabrics are all brown and rust red and leather and corduroy and it's really quite beautiful; though I don't really like the cut, as there is a tight line around my stomach when i wear it because in the sixties and in communes where my mom wore this dress, 45 years ago, girls wore their skirts at their waist...

but yeah. I was the most official hippie there today.
