How did I not know about this??

My sister and our father went to Disneyland this past weekend and when I asked my sister about it, she told me that an interesting thing happened when they were there. First, she told me that on the way to the park, my father was comparing how special it was to go to Disneyland when he was a kid and how people would dress up and how different it is nowadays because people just go wearing jeans and sneakers. Finally, they get to the park (wearing the typical, comfort-based Disneyland outfits consisting of jeans and sneakers, as they were planning to wander the park from open to close!) and they notice that there are groups of very well-dressed people everywhere they looked. The whole day they were a little puzzled, yet impressed by the fashionable Disney visitors. Meanwhile, I noticed in my instagram feed the hashtag (#dapperday), so when my sister’s phone call conversation took place the next day, I recalled the connection.

Everything, including the workplace, pushes this idea of being casual. When do I get to wear my great stuff?”

So that’s what this super trig event is called! I understand that there is still an opportunity to revel in this fashionable & fun event this Spring if you are planning to be in the Disney World area on Sunday March 10th. There is still time! And if you can’t make it, like poor little me (whimper), you can at least check out the photos on Instagram (#dapperday) and all over the web. Or you can start planning for the DAPPER DAY Fall Soirée, which is in September in LA, Paris and Orlando.

DAPPER DAY Events celebrate the tradition of wanting to look one’s best while out in public, and embraces the great social interaction that results when every outfit welcomes a compliment.

Here are a few images I managed to round up from past Dapper Day events.
