Today's Sunday Style is a tribute to Rosie the Riveter, as I had the honor of joining 249 other women dressed like the iconic poster to participate in the Veterans Day parade yesterday morning. Not only that, but we were led by a real life Rosie the Riveter, 103 year-old Wanda Daniels, who built P-61 Night Fighters during the war. Amazing! Many of the participants wore or carried special tributes to Rosies in their family tree: mothers, aunts, grandmothers, great grandmothers. I have never experienced anything like this and I had the best time! I'm in the last two photos of this post, and as you can see, I was smiling from ear to ear. If you'd like to see the Rosies in action, the full parade is HERE on C-SPAN and you can find us at about the 6:39 point in the video. Wanda is shown in the green convertible a the 7:19 point. Enjoy!
