Fashion Fiasco

So Sunday morning as I was dressing to church, I knew one thing: that I wanted to wear my black tights and black boots. The hunt began as I ripped apart my wardrobe to find something adequate but trying to look cute in the process. I put on a black shirt and a lovely teal skirt and walked in to my roommates room with who has a full length mirror. A cry of anguish echoed through the house. I looked like a midget. The skirt was too long for my short legs. My roommate was nearby and came to my rescue as I was quickly deciding that I would never look pretty again. She ran to her closet and pulled out a skirt or two which didn't quite work out either, then she pulled out a dress.

Now, I love dresses but I don't ever spend money on them and most of them look too dressy to wear to church or to teach in. She remarked that this dress is kind of short on her so she only wears it to church, but on me, it should be just right. I put it on, rocked a purple sweater with my black boots and I was stylin'. Never looked so stylish in my life! Watch out world! I felt a little out of place but weirdly knowing that I fit in more then ever.

Coming back home, I examined the dress which was only comprised of 3 stitches and some hemming. It looked so easy! I pulled out some fabric from my closet, started cutting and sewing and in a hour or so, voila! I had my own version of the stylin' dress.

Even with my stylin dress I still manage to look super awkward with my eyes closed... I'll post a better picture once I actually wear it around :)
