tomorrow's my Psychology of Aging final. to put it simply, i'm not exactly the most ready for it. however, being totally dedicated to passing this final exam, i took ONE full day off work - today. yeah, i'm such a hardworking student, you could never tell, could you.
btw, i'm still on the hunt for a floor-length sapphire dress for my brother's wedding (may 24) - AGAIN. i did purchase one off e-bay. it was a little lose here and there, so i brought it to the tailor who did Jo's wedding dress - Fashion & Bridal Group. THEY RUINED THE DRESS. MAJOR. i wanted them to take in the back by an about an inch (by removing excess material), and shorten the straps. in an attempt to cut their costs, they DIDN'T take in the back, they simply added elastic banding to the back of the dress. OMG. WTH. imagine ruching on a silk dress. i definitely flipped out on them. i told them outright that i hated it and that i was furious. it would be the most expensive dress i would never wear ever.
yes i hear you, why don't you undo what they did. the stitching of the elastic band can be unpicked, however, the stitch has already been done and the dress will have "holes" in it. all in all, it'll cost more to undo what they did. bah.
one things for sure, i am going to blacklist their name on every wedding gown forum in calgary.
anyway, here's me at Jess's 20th birthday dinner on Good Friday last week. it's for all yous people in singapore and melb, if you've already forgotten what i look like. p.s.: if you spot a floor length sapphire (not cobalt, or deep, or just) blue, please let me know. i'm short on time, and short on funds.
i wore:
tee: RCVA
skirt: silence & noise silk pencil skirt with suspenders
scarf: jacobs
shoes: jeffrey campbell's laced up bootie
