Don’t Grow Up, Dress Up

Adulthood isn’t all that’s its cracked up to be. A photo series about playing, dreaming and not being sensible.

Who wants to be a grown up? Nobody, I tell you! Why has it become accepted thought that taking on career, family or other responsibilities means it’s time to dismiss childish things? Playing and being an adult are not mutually exclusive. 

Living in the meaningless void of day-to-day business“, author Charles Willeford

Sometimes adults get stuck in a rut going about their daily routine of completing tasks and meeting deadlines and forget to play. Forget to dream, to fantasize. The woman in this story dares to take a chance. Living your dream is scary. It’s easier to not do it. No one will criticize you for not doing something only you knew you wanted. She takes a risk, puts on the outfit, and breaks free of her doldrums and feels alive again.
