Wishful Thinking Part 02 (Pilgrim Problems)

This is the pilgrim problem edition. These are all the great things I could do if I did not need to get back into pilgrim clothes in two months. You might be saying aw Carolyn, two months is a long time, but the start of the season always sneaks up on you and March 16th is not as far away as you think.


These are mermaid inspired nails, which I think would be great. The Problem: I'm too cheap to buy the good polish, and that is most likely the kind which would do this effect the best. Also sadly pilgrims did not know the greatness of sparkly nail polish, besides I'm doing a lot of cleaning lately and they would just get ruined.


Not permanent hair color or shadow as it is called. The Problem: My hair is brown I don't think it would look as good as on blonde, and pilgrims didn't have hot pink hair. But yes we do wear those hair coverings (which are called coifs not bonnets), but one overly zealous doffing of the hat and the jig is up.


Do I really need to explain why I would love these? The Problem: Pilgrim clothes are extremely fitted, not that you could tell because we all look like marshmallows. Yet underneath the layers there is basically a corset (we call them bodies or stays depending on the style), and one too many of these on top of the holiday 10 would mean complete start of the season disaster.
