I'm pretty freaking proud of myself.
I have a broken ankle and Friday night I went to a rave.
Specifically, I went to the Lizard Lounge in Dallas to see Cazzette. (An electronic dance music duo, in case you were wondering).
Wheelchair in the trunk and crutch under the arm I was puzzled as what to wear.
I went to Tomorrowland in Europe this past summer (the largest electronic dance music festival in the world). There, it was easy to pick out clothes since it was hot- and neon is easy to throw on with some jean shorts.

But now I had a dilemma: it's 40 degrees outside and I'm going to freeze my butt off.
What do I wear?
I tried on literally 15 outfits. (Which is no easy task when your right leg is in a boot).
I guess Michael decided the same (minus the leggings).
The Couple that raves together stays together.
It's a fact.
It's a fact.
The leg held up (pretty) well throughout the night.
As you can see the crutch made an appearance in the picture.
Side note: this bar is 18 and up, so there were a lot of little kids there getting drunk and stepping on my toes. The crutch was an important weapon.

I did stand pretty close, I was told at one point I was an inspiration for coming there with a broken ankle. He was 17 but I'll take what I can get.

Top left, Cazzette, minus the cassette heads. Top right, the girls. And bottom: the boys. Why yes, I am married to the guy with the crazy look, not sure what's going on there.
I had a great time, despite my leg swelling up like a small balloon.

I promise not to post nasty ankle pictures.
All in all rave success in the winter with a broken ankle was a success.
What would you wear to a winter rave?

Girl, you are a freaking trooper...I mean, there has got to be some type of an award for this business...foot in a boot, at a rave with 18 year olds...I am even more impressed with ya now. Happy New Year!
Girl you are killing me! That foot isn't getting in your way! At first instead of "crutch under my arm" I read "crotch under my arm"- I think to start drinking :)

Holy crap that's impressive. I'm not sure how much I'd get around wtih a crutch! Probably wouldn't make it to a rave, though! Oh, and Tomorrowland looks awesome. Jealous!

I am not sure what I would wear to a winter rave...it's not too chilly here right now though...(FL life)...but I will say you are too cute in your neon hat and plaid. :)
I'd go to a winter rave dressed as HeleneInBetween, of course. And people would know exactly who I was, because you're, like, famous. DUH.
Kudos for crutching and surviving!!!
I want one of those hats...you go girl!
I dated a raver and tried to get into that scene, while it was so not me I did love seeing all the crazy outfits people came up with.
