Your Own Twist is a monthly series hosted by Monica of Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and myself where we showcase our own interpretations of a chosen style theme. We share the theme with you ahead of time in case you are interested in joining us. You can see the upcoming themes below if you would like to create your own post around the theme and share it with us in the link party at the end of the post.

With the 92nd Oscar Awards just happening a few weeks ago, Monica and I thought it might be fun to style outfits that would be worthy of the Oscars. Granted I will probably never attend an Oscars ceremony, but I had this thrifted gown just hanging around my closet for literally no reason whatsoever. It was less than $5 and I loved all of its sparkly glamour. It is one of those pieces that I really did not need to add to my closet but I figured I may have some reason to wear such a gown so for the price, I just couldn’t resist. I contemplated styling this dress last month for The Fab 40’s Meet the Roaring 20’s but it was way too cold on photo day. In hindsight, I am glad that I saved it though because it was the perfect hidden gem for an Oscar-Worthy Outfits post.

I will admit that I did not watch the Oscars. I don’t attend current movies very often because, let’s face it, movies are damn expensive these days. I might go see a movie in the theater once a year. I also don’t watch all that much television, so I really am completely unaware of what currently goes on in Hollywood and even less aware of what movies are making the biggest critical splash. So I researched a little just for my own awareness and to see if I would find anything worth mentioning. I found this comprehensive article, Oscar Winners 2020: See the Full List, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually did see one of the movies that was nominated for a bunch of awards. The Joker.

But I only just watched it this weekend while visiting my friend Becca in North Carolina. We spent Sunday afternoon walking around Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and by the time we got back to her house, we were ready to just settle in for a night of relaxation and movies. So we watched The Joker. And all I can say is that is one creepy ass movie. And Joaquin Phoenix absolutely earned that Oscar.

That is really all I have to share about the Oscars and our Oscar-Worthy outfits. I am in the middle of my road trip to North Carolina and I am having the best time ever. I have not taken many photographs because I have really just been living in the moments. I have lots of ideas rolling through my mind for Medium articles more so than blog content. Although I am sure some of it will make its way into blog posts. But if it doesn’t, be sure to follow me on Medium as well. And may I recommend a solo road trip visiting friends along the way to all of you…it really is so great for the soul and for inspiration. I met up with Becky from Pink Cheetah Vintage yesterday and she is freaking amazing! We are trying to get together tonight for a few drinks and hopefully Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots will be meeting up with us as well.
