Do you ever wake up on a Wednesday excited solely because there are only two more days until the weekend begins? If so, the ladies at A Formal Affair may have a solution for you and your work colleagues. Here at the store, Wednesdays are a thing to celebrate because we play a game we like to call “Dress Up Day”.
The Rules: Every week, we pick a theme to dress up for that Wednesday. Whether the theme is western, superhero, disco, or something completely random, everyone must dress appropriately enough for work. Thus, dramatic makeup does not count, nor do props. Whoever dresses the best for the theme that week, but still is in dress code wins and gets to pick the theme for the next week.
The girls at the store are very enthusiastic about the game. Bridal consultant, Lea King says,“I feel like it’s spirit week at Liberty High School all over again.” Last week our theme was Fourth of July and we all dressed in red, white, and blue. The Wednesday before that was “Grandma Day”, where we wore silly brooches, Angora cardigans, and freshwater pearls.
Lately, even others have been picking up on our game too. “Now I’m looking forward to Wednesdays!” says Elvis, our UPS delivery man. Kortney Shannon adds, “I won last week, and I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with for my theme.”
Feel free to pass on this AFA tradition with your coworkers and if you want to keep up with our game, tune into our Facebook page, or stop by the store and visit us in our Wednesday best.
