HOCO 2019 With The Style Six

Laura October 16, 2019

I survived Homecoming 2019, y'all! I made it through a migraine, hair and pedicure appointments, last minute decisions for fake eyelashes and a quick run to Ulta for a specific sparkly eye shadow. I survived the florist that didn't open on time and met Wayne in a store parking lot so that he could bring us those special barrettes that "someone" forgot. I persevered when the Country Club was booked, our second restaurant choice had a fire and closed, and all the texts in the GroupMe app. I made it through the boutonniere debacle, but never fear! I found the magnet (Did you know they use MAGNETS these days??)! There were no shenanigans at the after-party and I crashed sometime around 1:30 Sunday morning. I. am. still. exhausted.

Ten years ago, I certainly wasn't thinking about HOCO 2019, when the day would come that Baby Girl would have the chance to get all dressed up and attend her very first formal high school dance. Back then, we were living the PreK-4 days of pig tails and cheer skirts. Gosh, that seems like yesterday!

How in the world did we get here?

Alise insisted on a green dress for Homecoming and she got no arguments from me or her Daddy who whistled when she walked in the living room. And if you know my daughter, this pic below is SO her! When I walked in her room Saturday afternoon and saw her dress hanging on her mini basketball goal, I teared up. It was just one of those moments that hit me. Hard.

Alise and Logan have been friends since kindergarten, so it just seemed right that they would go to Homecoming together. Logan's a great kid! Although they were "dates," their class went to dinner and the dance together as a group. I love that they do that and it made my heart smile.

Speaking of basketball, here is Alise with one of her closest friends and favorite post player. They've been playing basketball together since fifth grade and they're going to be great this season! It's so much fun seeing them all dressed up and not sweating and without makeup.

While Alise was at the restaurant, she ran into another favorite basketball friend from a rival school. I love all the friends she's made through sports, and these two can't wait to play against one another this season.

Obviously I haven't taught my daughter to sit like a lady. I cringed when I saw this! She was like that in the womb, too, if you really wanna know.

Ok. Enough about Homecoming! My pick of the week goes to Julie at The Main Line Life! I have to confess that I am so jealous of this fabulous Madewell Sweater that she's wearing. I am in love with the balloon sleeves and polkadots. Such a great fall style, Julie!

And now it's your turn!
