Iconics LIVE @ Mr Mojitos in San Jose! (micks! & wilsons!) and #fashion
our yard art has helped us meet so many people we would otherwise never meet.. some time ago, a passerby stopped to talk with us out front.. during the conversation -who knows how- but my husband and i mentioned loving live music..
the passerby then, -shares that he is in a band! we learn his name is tom... he lives walking distance away from us.. he's a drummer for the iconics... and he said we could find their calendar of events on facebook, but..
we don't have facebook. -we asked if he would bring a schedule by.. and "Thank You!" very much, because not only did we get to see the iconics live.. a new-to-us band..
but at a venue that we probably would never have visited without the iconics playing there..
and we love your band! and we love the venue! and we loved meeting your family too!
win/win/win...
but since 2025 is all about fashion for me.. shall we:
look at my beautiful friend 'awesome elva!' green tank, beautiful accessories, glamourous hat!
and i was comfortable hitting the dance floor in my floral mesh amazon top.. white large cuff steve madden jeans (macys); and my dansko's.. (nordstroms)
but the really fun fashion talk took place in the womens restroom..
it was while i was actually in my own stall with the door closed but my ears open..
i overheard these ladies.. how do you get your top to stay off your shoulders.. mine always slips back up..
and i was like, through the door... don't go anywhere.. i want in on this conversation... wait for me.
-and they did... and we talked about macys, nordstrom, calvin klein.. /one of the ladies worked for...
and i shared my recent swimsuit rant.. and one lady was about to travel and loved the other ladies outfit.. wish i could wear something like that to...
and she said, i'm the type that would just give this to you... do you want it for your trip?
and, one lady shared about being a breast cancer survivor.. -round of hugs.
and we just chatted up a fashion storm without ever leaving the restroom..
and they seemed really curious about my courage tattoo what does it mean? i've never seen anyone have a tattoo on their face!
and ultimately, we all exchanged some high fives.. trust me here: no one makes it to their 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond without courage. just showing up and knowing how, and being willing to still have fun is deserving of immediate and mutual respect.
and i may never see any one of these beautiful women again.. but we connected via fashion.. and they let me take their picture.. -see how different each outfit is.. each look. each hairstyle.. each sandal..
one of the blessings of getting older is that -along the way- you experiment, experiment.. and find what YOU like on YOU.. you get your very own style & vibe going on in collaboration with what's available to choose from.
"Thank You Fun Fashionable Ladies!"
we had such a wonderful evening... so much fun.
****
will just close by sharing how my husband and i, -we got a laugh out of identifying the different seasons of our life..
in our individual youths.. we danced from 9pm to 2am.. and still went to work the next, -that day.
when we met, in our 50's, at barones in pleasanton, music under the stars: 5pm-10pm..
now, 60-ish.. at mr mojitos in san jose.. 6pm-9pm...
and we are fulfilled. "cheers! & amen!" #vellumdays
