20 Surprisingly Brilliant Ways to Dress for a Movie
That was my motto as a little girl.
My favorite was actually Beauty & the Beast. According to my mom, I watched it repeatedly everyday from 2 to 3 years old in my jammies (aka pajamas) on those old things called VHS tapes. That must have been crazy lol, endlessly rewinding the video content at a super slow pace.
However, that wasn’t the only movie memory I treasured.
I remember when my family and I used to go to the drive-in on Friday nights. We were all decked out in our comfy casual clothes, ready to watch the latest movie releases that had made it to our tiny island.
In either situation, I was dressed for the occasion so I figured that the same thing applies to life today.
