Happy Persian New Year to all of our Persian friends! The Persian New Year rings in at the beginning of Spring each year and is a time for new beginnings and rebirth. In association with the "rebirth of nature", spring-cleaning is a tradition which also extends to personal attire, and it's customary to buy at least one set of new clothes. On New Year's Day, families dress in their new clothes and start twelve-days of celebration by visiting the elders of their family. On the thirteenth day, families leave their homes and picnic outdoors, as part of the Sizdah-BeDar ceremony. We of course love the new clothes part of the holiday and took full advantage of the first day of Spring to add a pop of color to our wardrobe. We have been dying to wear neon and thought this would be the best occasion to do it. The blazer was a purchase from Forever21 a couple months ago and we haven't worn it yet - so it is still considered new and fulfills the Persian New Year requirements.
