Shopping!

Enthusiasm is contagious. I had my piano lesson this morning so I woke up early. I was so excited because I was going to Bridge Road with Rowena to buy a formal dress! I drove all the way there, I'm so proud. We only had about 2 hours to shop so we started off at a pretty brisk pace. When it was nearly three, I started to panic because I still hadn't found anything. We went to this Asian shop whose name I have forgotten. I tried on three dresses which were all pretty good.

Two of them were the same style but in different colours (one red & black, one white & black). The white one was size 8 the red size 10 so obviously the white one fit better, but it still would've have needed altering so I just got the red one. I'm going to get it altered on Tuesday when I have a double free. Man, hope it all works out okay!

I also got a coat because it looks really cool! I wanted to get a bright red one in the same style, except the size was Medium instead of small so I just got a cream one instead. Oh well. Still looks good. I'm SO going back there again. I wish I had more money so I could buy more clothes!

Man, the school uniform makes me feel so unfeminine. It's so baggy it makes me look like a boy. That's why I like wearing the skirt, even though it's bloody cold now. I can't wait till the formal so I can 'let my hair down' and get all girly and pretty. I still need to get shoes and jewelry. Also have to organize hair and makeup! AHH! Sometimes I wish I was naturally beautiful *sigh*. What they say is true, looking at magazines really lowers your self-esteem, even though you know the models have been airbrushed to within an inch of their lives. Depressing. Well getting dressed up will be fun!

Watching Shrek now, and hoping the laptop won't run out of batteries. Wow that was a boring post, I'm just going to keep watching Shrek.

With love,
Mel
