In Spring of 2013, one of my closest friends Karely and I went to our first Dapper Day at Disneyland! Disney was what brought our friendship together, along with our mutual love for Jazz and 50s fashion, so Dapper Day was the perfect way to spend the day with each other. We haven't gone together since then, so we finally got together again to participate in this year's and my second experience was even better than the first.
I got my mint milkshake dress from Modcloth, it's sold out now but the shop is known for cute, retro dresses, skirts, bathing suits, n more so I really recommend them. My friend let me borrow her red coat and lunch box, and I ended up matching the vintage coca cola bottles on the box which was really cute heh.
My favorite things about dapper wear are the big skirts and nice shoes, I couldn't resist photographing these. Karely is wearing Minnie Mouse tattoo tights in the first photo. We both wear tattoo tights (and get them for really cheap on ebay), but a lot of people around the park were freaking out over them so we were shocked that they were that popular. They originated in Japan and they have many different Disney designs!
I'm singin' in the rain, what a glorious feelin', I'm happy again. ♫
Disney's Photopasses were really cute and involved when taking our photos! Even when we asked them to use our cameras, they posed us, which I thought was really sweet. Dapper Day has become such a large event since I first came a few years ago, and although it still isn't an official event, it really feels like one due to the cast members' and face characters' enthusiasm about it ^__^
A well-known event on Dapper Day is the meet and greet on Mark Twain's Riverboat! It's a great way to meet people, especially on Dapper Day considering how many people come together for the same thing. You can't see her, but Tiana was on the riverboat when I photographed this and I'm so sad I didn't know at the time. I haven't met her on the it yet, but that's one of my Disneyland goals!
It rained through half of the day, but I've always wanted to experience Disneyland in the rain so I didn't mind it. This time of the year is especially my favorite to go to Disneyland because spring is in the air and everything is full of pastel flowers :'3 I was pretty sad by the end of the night because my feet hurt and my tights were all wet, but it was such a lovely experience and I would go through it again and again if it meant I could meet more people with the same passion! Big props to girls who can walk around in heels at Disney all day... I was a little disappointed that I couldn't photograph more people due to the weather and the fact that my phone wasn't in service, but I hope I can do so at the next dapper days. Overall, I fell in love with basically everyone I saw that day, and I can't wait for this autumn's!
