I bought these yesterday while I was rummaging through some boutiques and stores downtown, along with some cute dresses and skirts and other summer staples. I love them! They look like ballet flats, with a gladiator influence or something. I rarely buy anything for myself other than art supplies anymore, and so this was a real treat. I feel that when summer comes, the disgusting weather won't bother me as much, if I look good.
Also, I'm going to prom. I'm a little bummed that I won't be able to go with Crystal, but I am going with one of my good friends! I'm not really excited for prom, itself; I'm just excited for dressing up and stuff. Originally, I had planned to get my dress made. It would have been a pale pink, with a bustier top and ruffled skirt. But considering how close I am to prom, it would be too difficult and stressful. Looking for a similar dress was not easy either. Its difficult to find a pale pink dress in a sea of fuchsia's and bubble gum's. So instead, I bought a black dress, with layers of ruffles extending from the top to the bottom, where it hits my knee. Its very delicate and pretty. But a bit plain and boring. And frankly, shapeless. I'm planning on edging it out a bit. Maybe a studded belt wrapped around my waist, or some statement jewelry, or a bejeweled clutch... But I am definitely going to get some bold shoes. Hopefully something similar to one of these:
Steve Madden.
