My button unpops when I reach above my head
Here I am, in my shiny dress that also happens to have been my mother's terribly unconventional Chinese wedding dress. It still looks newer than I am. It's a little uncomfortable around the neck and such, but it wouldn't bother me as much as a necklace would. Kind of minimalist for such a "special" occasion as Winter Ball. Oh yeah, but it's also my first school dance ever.
Within the next hour, my lovely date Armand will arrive to pick me up. Within the next hour, I will have to reapply my makeup, change my shoes, and look for earrings again. All of my earrings seem to have mysteriously vanished. Well, it's not like I have to wear any. The only piece of jewelry I have is a pretty ring, and it is pretty.
Okay, so maybe my shoes don't match my stockings don't match my dress and everyone is going to look better and more ornamented than I will, but I didn't want to go in the first place. I kind of feel bad that Armand is paying for my ticket and a whole package of photos to be split between us, but he's my date. He also gave me a mini-muffin earlier today because I am his date. He is going to bring me flowers. This will be so romantic I could cry!
