I tried the ankle boots Danii bought for me, several times today. It's funny because I recently bought a pair of heels for $115 at a 60% discount but lamented about how it's so expensive, whereas this pair cost $130 and I readily wanted to pay for it because this shop never has good sales. It's not like someone else is going to walk out of the store with it for $65 so I'm very pleased with the price I got it for.
I walk about my room in the boots, with my PJs on, contemplating what I am ever going to wear them with. I have an old Trussardi dress, in a pretty shade of grey that I haven't worn in a long time, and I think it's the perfect combination. That's the thing about expensive stuff. I've had this dress for years and now that I'm looking at it, it's still flawless and pretty. I have a Forever21 dress that's full of holes, and I've only worn it twice.
I tried on the boots with my Trussardi dress (it's so timeless, I love it), and decided my pale, wan face was too uneventful so I put on a bit of make-up. Then my hair was too messy in a bun so I let it loose. I felt pretty and very distracted at the moment. I also think that I should shorten the dress. I shall bring it to the tailor with my new black dress in Size XL (what was I thinking? I'm barely an S sometimes) to alter. One will be shorter and one will be tighter. I'm so organized.
I haven't played dress up in years. The last time I did it was when I was 11, and Heidi was over. We would dress up in clothes that I would never dare to wear out (too bright an orange, too short a dress), and Andii would take pictures of us. We had a polaroid camera too, but we lost it during the move. Andii liked dressing me up gothic.
It was easier then because I was really skinny, so it somehow created semblance of tallness. I was the choice model because Andii was older and more self-conscious, whereas Heidi was too young and sweet. I still have the photos. I want to show it to someone one of these days.
