today, I’m attending a members-only event at the Millhouse McKinney – the women’s creative coworking space I joined in January 2020 and now teach home bartending workshops at. it’s the Millhouse’s Membership Engagement Coordinator, and my friend, Whitney’s birthday today. she loves the 90s (not as much as the 80s, but same) so I’m excited for the happy hour and actually going to dress up in a 90s party outfit, which I haven’t before.
so you may as well come along for the ride as I decide for myself.
as I google for ideas, I also remember my sister went to a 90s theme night at a local country dance bar I’m pretty sure. and she’s much more stylish and more regularly well-put-together than I am, so let’s ask her too.

Lately, I’ve been thinking I want to redo my closet and create a more intentional summer capsule wardrobe and fall capsule wardrobe to have staples to select from when creating these theme outfits, for example, so if you’d want to redo your own wardrobe along with me, let me know and I’ll get to creating those resources to send you!
