Okay but wait, what do I wear??

This year, we are looking to nature for inspiration--envisioning a world where we're free to grow, roam, and be in all our wild glory. 

When picking your outfit, take inspiration from the animal kingdom: spots, stripes, feathers, vegan furs, your grandma's bejeweled bird broaches and more. Or perhaps you're a wildflower, a vine reaching toward the sun, or a misunderstood queer insect.

Are you a bear, an otter, or a pup? The golden retriever or the black cat of your relationship? All flora and fauna are welcome here! Get creative. Have fun. Be WILD and FREE.
