Fashion a 'la Mode

 April 19th was a really big day... and I had to be comfortable, fashionable ( but not stuffy ) and fun for our department's huge outreach event to high school students. Over 200 students attended our annual;

We start planning the event back in September and it's full of pre-event contests for Orange County high school students. Then the actual day of the event bus loads of students arrive and we herd them from one activity to another throughout the 6 hour event.

Lots of different hands on workshops...

Lots of a 'la Mode ( ice cream and toppings )

Lots of impressive high school fashions

Lots of great student entries from daytime competitions.

And so, so, so, sew, much more. 

Industry speakers, a fashion show, lots of great prizes, a DJ, music, oh my!!!
