For my entry, I've never celebrated or observed the Lunar New Year, but if I were to I would most likely celebrate it by trying all the different food and meals that are made. I've never been one that's shy from trying something different. It just might take me a while sometimes! Better late and this year than never! Most of my family is the complete opposite and can be quite snobbish. I picked out a red hat and a silk robe shirt. Realistically this is what I would wear to observe/celebrate the holiday. My wardrobe and items were a bit limited, but thankfully I ordered most of the seasonal items when they were available! (I really want to try to make some of this now! 😋)

For this entry, I have decided to create a quiet and respectful observance to the start of the Year of the Horse. Tributes of carrots and apples to the Horse are given. For my attire, I decided to swap out my usual black ninja attire to red for good luck. Foxes are auspicious animals and so I wear its mask to hope that this year will be fortuitous for everyone.

The day of the lunar new year ALSO happened to fall on 1. Fat Tuesday hence the festive lantern(that I just realized u can’t see, whoops), 2. My youngest’s 18th bday!!!!! Represented by the trees, bounty lamp because my children are my greatest bounty, 3. My mom got to ring the chemo bell a few weeks ago and on lunar new year, she got a CT done. Even though we haven’t not been to see the doctor to discuss those results, I have seen them and they look great. So I am decorated all out in red and gold for lunar new year along with Julian who some of you know represents my brother & Bunnie who has always represented my mom since new leaf days. I’m so very grateful right now.

Struggling but can do a red outfit? Honestly don’t know if acceptable as a weird cultural fusion 🙈

Outfits don't need to reflect authentic traditional attire; the only requirement is meeting the themes of being festive and in the spirit of the holiday (so in the case of a red outfit, wearing red to signify luck and prosperity)! A red celebratory outfit would be perfect. 😊

Well, Ni Howdy!!
My outfit is a Lunar New Year cowboy horse.. girl.. The silk shirt has the traditional red and gold LNY colors which I have paired with some western pants, cowboy boots, and an outback hat because for some reason there isn't a cowboy hat in this darn tootin' game

I wanted to dress up for Lunar New Year, and while there aren't many moon themed clothes in my closet, I decided that stars are such good pals with the moon that the moon wouldn't mind my choices here 😇

I also decided to go Western wear for year of the horse! 🐎 I designed my own Western shirt with red and gold (yellow) to hopefully give a Lunar New Year vibe plus a horse pattern on the back.

I picked a red satin dress to celebrate the Chinese New Year in. May these lucky cats bring good fortune, prosperity to those who are kind and may the new year’s noodles bring longevity.

Since my outfit was more gold/yellow than red, I've added lots of red in as furniture pieces! I couldn't get the fireworks to go off :c But, I've added some horse figures for some very obvious symbolism and treasure galore on the floor for extra luck and fortune for Luck of the Dragon! (don't worry it'll get cleaned up... maybe)

Here's my entry~

I really wanted to use a dress without design codes, and was lucky I had this in my wardrobe!
Red, gold, orange anything will do for a Fire Horse Lunar year!

A year that signifies high energy, inpedendance and rapid progress. Something that I am feeling is already happening in my life when itcomes to focus on writing again and job hunting!
I have felt more confident that I can complete chapters than I did ever!

Celebrating Lunar New Year downtown with my girls! Red and gold long jacket adorned with a golden horse (yes it's supposed to be a horse not a dinosaur) and golden horse kanji (see proof for a better view), long sailor skirt, retro shades and lace-up boots.

My outfit was inspired by the red and gold colors of the new year. I also included a fan because it fits the theme and is appropriate for the hot weather where I am :") Thankfully my home was already decorated to match, allowing me to be surrounded by comfort and good fortune ♡

I just edited to click the entry box :") I hope that was ok
