Remember that weird period in Gilmore Girls history when Rory dropped out of school, moved in with Emily and Richard, and became a member of the DAR? Well, the DAR is a real thing. Daughters of the American Revolution began over 120 years ago and…

Being a Page for the Daughters of the American Revolution has a specific dress code. So, I thought it would be helpful to share what I wore to be a page at the Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution State Conference this year! For all of the ladies who are interested in or are thinking about Paging for this wonderful society, it does not cost a lot of money to purchase all white outfits and Paging is an awesome opportunity! Here are the ensembles I wore while Paging at this year's conference! Dress codes rules for Paging varies from state-to-state and whether you are Paging at Continental Congress (the national conference in Washington, D.C.). In Illinois, Pages wearing a white knee-length dress or top and skirt during the daytime events. Because the Illinois state convention is in the middle of April and generally the weather is not the warmest, I wore a cute ruffled white sweater and skirt (you can find my exact skirt in the link here). I already owned the sweater when I started Paging which just goes to show how versatile having white pieces of clothing as a part of your wardrobe. Also, using a sweater I already owned made the Paging process much more affordable and less stressful because I already knew I had something I could wear! It is also a good idea to wear white flat shoes during the daytime events and meetings because you are standing mostly and walking around a ton! This is a brand new ankle-length white dress from Shein (I found the link for my exact dress here!). The quality of material on this dress was perfect for the evening sessions we had and the ruffle sleeves add just the right flair to the overall look. Beside all of that, the ankle-length really allowed me to move around easily without getting caught up in a long skirt. This evening gown is a re-peat from Paging at last year's convention (another affordable way to Page). I love this gown because of the flowing skirt! It also allows me to move with ease, but it is a bit longer than my other gown so getting up and down stairs is always a bit trickier. Otherwise, the lace like sleeves make for a very timeless look! I am not sure if this is EXACT dress I purchased, but I did find a similar gown on Amazon here, which is where I bought the one I wore. Last but not least, the shoes to wear with your evening gowns (you can find them here)! If you are interested in being more comfortable you could always just wear white sneakers, but I chose to wear a cute pair of white heels. These classic heels I found on Amazon, and let me just say that they were SO comfortable! The block shaped heels were very sturdy and gave me great comfort in knowing I wouldn't fall. If you are a member of the Daughters of the American revolution and you are interested in Paging, I would highly recommend giving it a try! It is so much fun and you will make so many memories! If you are not a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and you are interested in becoming a member, check out their website here! Much Love, Sarah
It’s one thing to make speeches about declaring independence, or to assemble militias and discuss battle tactics against the enemy. It’s quite another thing to pay for it all. So how do you pay for a war that no one expected to last eight years? Great Britain possessed world-wide colonies, tremendous wealth, the ability to […]

Marker Commemorating the 1780 Siege of Charleston Dedicated On May 12, two hundred and thirty years to the day that General Benjamin Lincoln surrendered his force of 6,000 men to the British after their 42-day siege of Charleston, a marker commemorating the event was dedicated in Marion Square. The Surrender of Charleston was one of the largest defeats for the Patriots in the War, but it was also the beginning of the end for British rule in the colonies. More than 500 American and British troops fell in the area between Spring and Calhoun Streets in downtown Charleston, and organizers of the commemoration hope this marker will serve as a reminder of the sacrifice those troops made and will bring attention to an often overlooked era in Charleston's history. The marker is made possible through the South Carolina State Historic Marker Program, and was funded through the MGen William Moultrie Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, the State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and the State Society of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. It is being placed with the permission of the Washington Light Infantry/Sumter Guards Board of Officers, owners of Marion Square.
(A historical marker located near Tamassee in Oconee County, South Carolina.)
