#ThrowbackThursday: Don’t Be Such a Mermaid

By

In 2014, I will be participating in #tbt courtesy of the Epson Expression Premium XP-810 Small–in–One printer, the ultimate choice for scanning and printing. Ultra powerful and ultra slim, it produces stunning borderless photos and documents quickly and affordably. Featuring the ultimate in wireless printing, the XP-810 makes it easier than ever to print from your iPad, iPhone, tablet or smartphone, whether in your home or out and about.

throwbackthursdayToday I’m throwing back to just about a year ago – the Disney Social Media Moms Conference at Walt Disney World, Florida. In previous posts, I called it the “invitation you can’t refuse” – because really, who is going to turn down a chance to spend 5 days with your family at the happiest place on earth?

Days before the event, I found myself rushing through the mall picking up last minute items. Despite my time crunch, I found time to pop into H&M, as I was looking for a simple white tank top that I could layer under a particularly low-cut (and therefore non-Disneyish) top.

But as soon as I saw it, I just knew I *had* to have it – a loose, 80’s style sleeveless top which proudly cautioned: “Don’t Be Such a Mermaid.” Ha ha! Since I was planning a visit to Ariel’s Grotto, of course it was perfect!

Upon returning from the mall, I tweeted my fashion find to fellow Canadian conference attendees, including @FeistyFrugal, who immediately asked, “GAH!!! You DID get one for me, right?”

Of course I did!

At Walt Disney world, we took an obligatory picture with our matching tops, reveling in the attention as curious onlookers gawked at the sheer wit and perfection of our fashion find. And you can just see Cinderella’s castle in the background; a wonderful memory of a perfect spring day in May 2013.
