Ball time.

I finally have my prom dress. AT LAST. One week to go. It's from Topshop as well, which means there's a very high chance that someone else will also be wearing it. Oops.

I do really love it though, probably because it's not at all a traditional 'prom' dress. I'm hoping this will dissuade other last minute shoppers from buying the same one. I tried on so many typical prom dresses and they either didn't suit me or they were all very meh. But this one's quite different - it's more summer-elegant than prom, and reminds me of a bit Marilyn Monroe, although I'm not quite sure why. It's cream/lilac-blue/navy big, abstract flower print, with thick straps that cross at the back, fitted down to the waist and then poof out and back in again. Like an exagerrated pencil skirt.

I'm useless at explaining clothes (when I told my mother what it looked like she said it sounded horrible, but when I actually showed her the dress she said it was lovely, which I don't think is just one of those parental obligation things), so will try to upload a photo later when my camera stops being a fuckwit.

My only problem now is what colour shoes/accesories to go for. I tried on my red satin heels just to get an idea of what high heels would look like with it, and I thought they went in a kind of clashing-but-in-the-alright-sense way. However, I think maybe silver or dark navy would be best, so shall ask my sister if she has anything I can borrow before I spend anymore money.

As a side note, it was only £38! From Topshop, that's bloody good. Makes up for the £35 I spent on the Ball ticket. Yikes!
