I miss my red retro dress. I lost it in the laundry somewhere. I was going to wash it. I even have matching shoes...
So, it's prom season! ...Not that I should care. But I'm hopefully going to a formal dance at a convention, and I'm in a bit of a dress dilemma. I found the princess of all dresses, but it's in a high price range. It's in my favorite color, and there's this illusion neckline with little rhinestones. It has a sweetheart bodice, and a flowy train, and it's got a metallic accent on the waistline, so it's really flattering for me. There are others that are less expensive, but they're plain, and I wanted a dress to go with a tiara. I already have white satin shoes, which aren't the same color, but goes with it anyway. It's on Amazon. I'll show it to you later.
My $15 shoes just came in. I get 90 percent of my clothes from Amazon. I have a hard to find size for...everything. Shoe shopping is especially painful. I have a short, wide size, and Zappos shoes are ugly and expensive. 400 bucks?! I might have to wear those custom made Antaina shoes for my everyday wardrobe.
Sometimes I get my pants and socks from *shudder* Forever 21. They have cute designs, and affordable pants that fit me, but a lot of their stuff is just too out there to wear in public. And their sewing quality isn't always good. And I'm getting sweatshop vibes from them. I wish they weren't so popular. I feel even more so about Victoria's Secret. My half sister and my stepmother love that place too much. It's not a secret if everyone knows about it! I can only fit one thing from there. Their perfume and body products are overpriced versions of what you can buy in drugstores. And their Pink line is just sweatpants with their logo on it. And I don't like maxi dresses. They're so ugly. I only found one that was modest, but it sold out. I remember other detestable trends like long skirts with athletic shoes, upside down and backwards visors, over the top goth clothes and makeup, and glitter eyeshadow (I can't believe I tried that in high school and college...).
And I'm starting to hate cross lacing or corset lacing in lolita. If it gets out of hand, it looks too much like anime. And I don't even have a full coord yet, but I'm already starting to hate the Antique Clock print and the Chocoberry print from Bodyline, simply because I see so many others wearing it. You'd have to make it look special. I have Angelic Pretty's Cream Cookie Collection in light blue, but after seeing someone else's coord with the same thing, I'm afraid of not looking as good as the others wearing it. I'm lucky to have that thing alone. It's completely sold out in a month!
