HOLEY CRAP IT'S TOMORROOOOOOOOOOW!
REBEKAH'S DEBUSPEDIDA!
REBEKAH'S DEBUSPEDIDA!
Not too obvious I'm excited, eh? :)))) But I'm also a bit sad since it is still a despedida after all. :( Bekah's leaving for the States and I miss her already!
And since I feel like I'm in a storytelling mood, let me tell you a story..
..about how I got my dress. :))
_____________________________________________
Monday night last week (17th Aug), I went online on Yahoo Messenger, nervous on how and where I would buy a dress for Bekah's debut. I didn't exactly know what to pick since it's a vintage-themed party.. And I have no idea how to do vintage. O_O
Luckily my friend Allie was online (as usual :D), so I decided to ask her.
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:29:34 PM): what time are you free tomorrow? :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:29:42 PM): Morning?
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:29:48 PM): afternoon :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:29:49 PM): Or 4:30
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:30:19 PM): what time will you be dismissed?
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:30:31 PM): 4:30
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:31:57 PM): do you think you can go to town?
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:32:04 PM): I suppose so
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:32:59 PM): oh, what's your definition of "vintage"? :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:35:10 PM): Hmmm
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:35:42 PM): Vintage could mean classic
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:35:58 PM): oooh
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:36:08 PM): that's the theme of my friend's debut, i need to find a dress..
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:36:14 PM): and i'd love it if you help me! :)
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:36:33 PM): I think you're a little bit of a Marilyn Monroe
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:36:44 PM): So you could use her as an inspiration
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:36:51 PM): ooh!
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:36:51 PM): And I'd love to help you
Toni Alexis Araneta (8/17/2009 10:37:11 PM): Yeah
Marianne Raterta (8/17/2009 10:37:30 PM): thank you! >:D<>I think you're a little bit of a Marilyn Monroe.
MEEEEEE? A classic screen siren, a bombshell? Really now. (-_-)
The next day, we did go to Alabang Town Center. We decided to go check out Get Laud because they have some pretty nice dresses for under Php1000. Good, since I only had like Php700 on hand. GAH. D:
But suddenly Allie saw this awesome red dress in the store's display.. A ravishing multi-way dress in a shade of deep red.. I was dumbstruck. It. Was. Beautiful.
But then.. Would it suit me?
I tried it on (with a little help from the saleslady since the fabric was so long.. After all, it's a multi-way dress so the long strips of fabric are there to twist and tie around as you please :D) Allie was also in the changing room with me (quite a tight squeeze, but heck, she's my best friend :p) and when the lady was done fixing the dress..
Oh.
My.
Goodness.
It was absolutely GORGEOUS. Allie even said so! (I trust her every word, really.)
And so I bought the lovely red dress. Php650 isn't too bad, actually!
I tried it on again as soon as I got home, and I showed it to my older sister. She liked it :)
I also showed it to my parents a few days after, they like it too :)
Last Sunday my dad and I bought these awesome black and red shoes from VNC.
Monday I bought some makeup and worked it along with my existing makeup at home to attempt to recreate Marilny Monroe's nude eyes and fire engine red lip.
NO I AM NOT EXCITED :))))))))))
Oh, and I tried this quiz on Facebook, and look what it says..
'Til next time.
