At the risk of heaping a bit more "Jewish" on you this week than usual, I wanted to share today's OOTD, which I assembled with my ultimate evening destination in mind: a seder with the family of one of my Birthright friends.
A seder is the traditional dinner we have during the holiday of Passover, in which we tell the story of the Jewish people's exodus from Egypt. The story has a lot of gory elements (Jewish slavery/abuse at the hands of Egyptians PLUS horrible plagues visited on the Egyptians, including pestilence, boils, and the murder of each first-born son). I felt like wearing something thematic, but the plagues leaved something to be desired, inspiration-wise.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I chose to focus on fish instead. The whole Nile-turning-to-blood-and-killing-the-fish thing, then the parting of the Red Sea, where fish undoubtedly lived, and finally the undying Jewish tradition of eating gefilte fish. Fish. Much more attractive to print on a dress than boils or pestilence.
Unfortunately, you get a polyvore set no real picture because by the time I got home, I was nursing a food pregnancy the size of higher-order multiples and I was not about to memorialize that moment on film.
Needless to say, I enjoyed an immense amount of absolutely amazing food and truly heartwarming hospitality! I expect to feel hungry again at some point within the next week, although I'm not sure exactly when that will be...
