Stars Will Fall

My prom dress, people. $297, and I wish I could wear it every day. I seem to have a thing for asymmetrical dresses this year... Also, why do I feel like I've seen this dress before?

 

I do plan to wear those shoes with it. Not sure about hair, makeup, or jewelry yet, but that's why I've got the dress over a month in advance, isn't it? (The downside of having it a month in advance is that I want to wear it everywhere...)

Feel free to give me any help with what to do with the hair/makeup/jewelry to go with this!
Next up on my shopping list? Graduation dress! (Well, actually, I also have in mind acquiring some good casual dresses, since the dog got into my laundry and destroyed this floral dress... Real nice, puppy...) Basically, dresses are in my future in a serious way.

30 for 30 Challenge: Day Fifteen

I'M GOING CRAZY.
Oddly enough, it has nothing to do with this challenge. It has to do with me wearing skirts more often, of my own volition. I have this weird, almost...dysmorphia thing with my hair. When I wear skirts, I want it to be short as can be...and when I wear pants, I want it to be as long as I can get it. I woke up yesterday from a dream about chopping my hair off. I'm serious. So after the third, I'm throwing my shorts back on and not leaving them for a while, because I really do want my hair to be long, and I hate dealing with this weird mental process of mine.

At least this outfit was cute, and marked a first for me - that is, mixing prints. I don't think I've ever done that before, not even when I was a little kid.

I don't know what I was doing in the last shot, but I laughed enough that I didn't retake it.
Now, I'm finding things I can do with my hair that make it look short without actually chopping any of it off. We'll see how that goes...and if you have any ideas, PLEASE COMMENT. (The reason I won't chop my hair off is...well, been there, done that, spent a year being asked if I was a boy, never doing that again - androgyny works for some people, but I can't do it and be happy).

30 for 30 Challenge: Day Five, plus a really odd skirt

Today I got a package in the mail from one of my aunts to reveal:

a note, and a college guide for B students. Yay...












and the most bizarre skirt I've ever laid eyes on. Apparently it's 'Ben Sherman'. I don't know where my aunt found it, but man is this skirt busy. And it doesn't look like anything I've found online by Ben Sherman.

...ignoring the fact that I look awful in all these pictures... Is this not a weird skirt? Does anyone like it? Or is anyone able to think of anything I could do with it? Cuz I need ideas!

And this is my non-VBS attire for the day!

This is called 'my entire body hurts and I don't want to be putting much effort into this, though I still have to look fancy-ish since I'm going out tonight. Not to mention, I don't want people to be staring at the now many cuts and bruises on my legs and arms. M and I having to see them is bad enough. (Account is now something like twenty bug bites, seven large cuts, and nine bruises - most from being up in a castle with puppets for close to five hours the past three days, one from my cat, and a few others from being distracted and walking into a wall. But we really do need to cover up the open wood in the castle). Though, somehow, M has none. I'm pretty sure anyone seeing me up close right now would think I was being abused. xD; "ARE YOU BEING ABUSED?" "...no. I'm just horribly clumsy, my blood is catnip for bugs, the wood I spend a ton of time on is very splintery, and my cats can't retract their claws..." But I digress. XD
