country gone bad...really bad

my friend cassie turned 30 today...we celebrated last night @ blanco's dressed in "retro country" attire. all of the guests were supposed to dress the part...but some of the party goers took it to an extreme...and i was for sure one of them! as of friday at noon, i had nothing to wear. my mom kept the kids while brandon and i were off to some resale shops (goodwill & H.A.M.M.) and a consignment shop i knew of. goodwill was a bust...but i found a little ditty @ the consignment shop...a fully sequined cropped western jacket w/ black suede fringe...for $6!!! i'll take it. now i only needed accessories. no better place to go than my mom's closet. need something gaudy? she will have what you are looking for. brandon found a really worn in pair of wranglers for $3...they are a perfect fit...he loves them and says they will be his new game day jeans. it's the little things in life right? we had a hard time finding him a shirt so we ended up on the clearance rack @ cavenders...just as bad as anything you could find elsewhere really.

here are the earrings...i was debating btwn 3 pair...one had boots, hats, etc dangling down...i was afraid i would lose one of those...















the boots...also from bebe's closet. yes. those are gold sequins.




















the piece de resistance...all i can say is wow. they don't come any uglier.




















want to make sure you can see the fine detail...and intricate bead work














my mom also had an old bolo of my dad's...do you remember those?? brandon refused :(




















mullet wig!





















another western trend was the cut out shirt...HI-larious




















she is so damn funny...















lauren was SUPPOSED to wear this cut out shirt...love it





















but instead managed to look cute...by the way- there were 50 people at this party...not just the 6 of us!!












the birthday girl and her new fiance!!! i wish i had a picture of cassie's hair close up...she had indian feathers in the back...beautiful.




















he done good. real good! they got engaged earlier that day. SO FUN!

thanks for such a good time cassie!! dress up parties are the most fun :)
