Three Days at Oktoberfest in a Borrowed Dirndl (and a Very White Blouse)

Three Days at Oktoberfest in a Borrowed Dirndl (and a Very White Blouse)

I borrowed a dirndl for Oktoberfest.

A beautiful dirndl, which came with a very white blouse. The sort of white that makes you think twice before eating anything with mustard on it.

I was going to wear it for three days.

At Oktoberfest.

What could possibly go wrong? 😂

There was a lot of walking. There was jumping, dancing and singing along with songs I didn’t entirely know the words to. By the end of each day, my feet had plenty to say about it.

But the thing I didn’t spend three days thinking about was whether I smelled.

I wasn’t doing the discreet underarm check. I wasn’t wondering whether I could lift my arms in a photo. And I wasn’t worrying about leaving deodorant marks on a blouse that I had to give back to someone else.

I put on my POSY in the morning and got on with enjoying myself.

That might sound like a small thing, but it’s exactly why I started making POSY. I wanted a natural deodorant I could trust enough to stop thinking about it. One less little worry following me around all day.

The dirndl went back. The white blouse was still white. I came home with sore feet, lots of photos and a strong desire to go again next year.

Although next time, I might buy my own dirndl. Borrowing a white blouse for Oktoberfest is a level of responsibility I’m not sure I need twice. 😂
