A new obsession with dresses...

When I was little, I loved watching Disney princess films and seeing the heroines twirl in their big beautiful ball gowns. I thought, "I want to wear one of those poofy gowns when I grow up." It is the last day of winter break. I should be doing something...studious, like flipping through my calculus textbook and looking over some of the old problems. Right. My head is still stuck in la-la-land, especially since I just went prom dress shopping with my friends for the first time!

In the afternoon, the four of us went to Masako Formals. Bridal wear dominated, but there was still a small section for prom dresses. I actually had a hard time finding a dress that I liked - maybe because I’ve never shopped for anything like it before and everything seemed so...extravagant! I could not picture myself wearing many of these dresses and I almost did not try any on until a friend handed me one and insisted that I try it.

There was a bunch of bridal wear catalogs scattered about on the table so my friends and I flipped through them. If I ever do marry a rich guy, I would love to wear a wedding gown designed by Vera Wang or Oscar de la Renta. <3

This one is my favorite:
(Should I ask Masako Formals to order it for me if they don't have it in stock?)

2009 has just come so the new dresses haven't arrived yet. I still have months to find the perfect one (and hopefully, I do at an affordable price!) After spending around two to three hours at the dress shop, we decided to take the bus to go to the Don Quijote area and grab a bite to eat. While we were on our way, one friend commented, "Wait. Shouldn't we be shopping for senior luau dresses first?"

(Duh! That's in a few weeks!)
