Okay, so I have one last project in Costume Design. ("Final project" would be a misnomer, because our last big thing was due yesterday; this is just something quick to keep us busy for another week and a half.)

There is an upside to not actually going to any Halloween parties, and that is that I can dress up as however many people I like! In this case, three.

The theme for the evening is "clothing I own and love but rarely have any use for."

Ahahaha so, my day. Incoherence forthcoming.

Semester is over! I survived and everything, and I'm free until the first or second week of September now \o/

And now, have a ton of photos. I don't know if anyone wants to see them, but I want to post them, so there.
