Ahoy! The pirates will be arriving soon and the Gasparilla festivities will be getting under way. That being the case, there are certain things a girl should know…
Get your beauty sleep. The fun starts early and ends late on Gasparilla.
Playing along with the pirate theme is a big part of the fun. Decide whether you’re going to wear a Gasparilla shirt or maybe bold pirate stripes. You can even go as the pirate captain in a ruffled white button down over skinny jeans.
Once you have your pirate top + cute jeans combo, add a few treasures to finish the outfit. A pirate belt buckle, a chunky pirate ring or dangling crown earrings are fun extras. You can add a preppy twist with hand painted skull earrings in pink or green.
You’ll do a lot of walking on parade day so wear comfortable shoes.
And finally, carry an umbrella. There’s always the chance of rain, and you’ll be glad you have it if one of those pirates gets too friendly… Arrrgh!
