9 ways to
survive Dapper Day
The
7th anniversary
of Dapper
Day is
coming up, and I'm hoping to attend. I've learned some tips from the
past few times I attended, so I figured I'd share them with you.
1. Pack
smartly.
- If
carrying a purse, try not to let it get super heavy.
-Ask a
friend to carry things for you.
-Utilize
the locker services if you're there a long time.
-Consider
bringing a portable charger for your phone.
2. Check
the weather report.
-bring
sunscreen and water.
-carry a
small cardigan.
-bring or
buy a parasol or umbrella.
3. Bring
your camera and take photos!
-Trust me,
you'll feel a million times better. After picking out your amazing
outfit and seeing everyone else dressed similarly, you'll want to
remember this day!!
4. Be
friendly!
-goes
without saying, a smile can take you a long way.
-use
social media to network with other people.
-compliment
other peoples’ outfits.
5. Plan
accordingly
-ride the
rides you want to get on, be prepared to wait a good while; use
fast-pass when you can!
-if with a
group of people, schedule certain times to check-in with each other.
6. Be
prepared for possible wardrobe malfunctions
-carry a
small sewing kit with you.
-If not
wearing 'true vintage' carry a small bleach pen with you.
7. Wear
comfy shoes
-You'll be
walking around the Disney parks A LOT, you'll thank me later.
8. Check
out the Dapper Day Expo*!
-If you
can’t actually get into the parks, or you are doing the 'twilight
ticket' you can check out the FREE expo. Make some awesome purchases
from the oodles of vendors selling vintage clothing and accessories
there. Who knows, you might want to make a wardrobe change or two.
*The Expo
is only available at the Disneyland CA parks.
9. Have
Fun!!
-You're in
a lovely vintage outfit at The Happiest Place on Earth. How could the
day get any better?
