All the Frills: A Little Dior

I recently headed a few hours south to attend a work conference (it was the annual meeting of the professional association for student association managers – sounds thrilling, no?). It was actually a super interesting conference because student associations in Ontario are currently under attack and financial constraint thanks to Ford’s Student Choice Initiative (and, unfortunately, Alberta’s UCP party seems poised to implement something similar, meaning my job, my association, and all my staff and the services we provide to our members are also under threat). It’s a nerve-wracking situation and it was really wonderful to gather with colleagues and share strategies. But it was also the longest I’ve been away from Eleanor since she was born and that was rough. What made things a bit more bearable, aside from Facetiming her twice a day, was sneaking in a visit to Calgary’s stunning Glenbow Museum to see their exhibit on Dior. So get ready for a deluge of photos….
