'twas three days before the ball... I did not have a gown. my mum let me take a day off school to go into town (with my #bff @HV3RVAMP!!) to look for a dress. went into a vintage shop called Zigurat (or smth like that), and the first dress I tried on FIT LIKE A GLOVE. apparently it was custom made for someone back in the day, and OH MY LORD, if you had told me it had been made for me specifically I would have believed you. the photo doesn't really show it, but it shimmers and changes colour in the light, from green to aqua to orange -- this dress is MESMERISING. one of a kind, and the price tag had me believing it too - $175. worth every penny.
shoes I just wore my platform docs because I didn't have time to find anything else -- also first photo was before I'd done my hair, I didn't end up wearing it in plaits like that lol
