What I Wore: The Age of Aquarius


So we have these neighbors who are total hippies.  I'm talking the official tie dye wearing, haven't shaved or cut their hair in who-knows-when kind (think Joaquin Phoenix when he went all faux-coo coo for that dumb mocumentary).  It seems that they have recently formed a band, and they go out in the backyard and play trippy, psychedelic music. Very loudly.  If it continues, I told my husband I am officially dubbing this the "Summer of Love". (Coincidentally, there is the perfect Rebecca Minkoff pouch for the occasion).


So on Sunday, the fam and I were in the backyard enjoying a little In N' Out for dinner when the music started.  It went on for a good hour, and the girls were dancing around the grass barefoot like they were at Woodstock.  Natalie, my 6 year old, turns to me and says "Man, I really like this music! They are really good!  We should go knock on their door and let them know how much we are enjoying this!"  I died at the cuteness and from anxiety all at once.


I decided to do my part by running inside and throwing this tie-dye scarf on.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em right?  BTW, these photos were taken during the solar eclipse, which I was totally unaware of.  I kept thinking "Hmm, it looks kinda weird out here", but was so consumed by the free backyard concert that I never realized why.  I now believe that the hippies were having some kind of eclipse celebration, and that is why they played music non-stop for the exact hour it was happening.  Good times.
