An Affair To Remember....

           Where I live they have this thing called the Cinderella Affair.  This event is held every year around prom, its the orphanage of prom dresses.  Girls all over the District go there in search of a dream dress. Whats so nice about this event is that you go in get a free dress, shoes, and accessories. My friends and I went in hopes we could find a free dream dress. Last year I went I found a dress I wasn't so crazy about but this year I found a dress I like a lot. But I didn't feel like it was a prom dress. The event was on Friday and I choose this dress.

     On Saturday I decided I wanted to spend the entire day in the dress, just wear it around the house for a little bit, dance around in it and just feel how different it was. I never dreamed I would get a dress that had beige and black fabric over lapping, black, dark colors are just not really me. Navy blue is the darkest I like in a formal dress.The flower print, just seemed like a no. But for some reason when I tried it on it was different, and I couldn't tell if it was a good thing or not. Like I said on Saturday I wore the dress, I put it on and took it off wearing it for about five minutes at a time. Everyone in my family loved it but I still felt weird. I went back to my room and sat on the floor in my prom dress just looking at my reflection in my full length mirror. For some reason it just clicked in my head, I watched Sleeping Beauty and for some reason the peasant dress she wears in the middle of the movie reminded me of my dress. They are extremely different I know but for some reason I just felt they were the same. At that moment wearing a dress my favorite Disney princess wore I fell in love.

I think its the fact that this dress has beige and black on it the same as my dress. just the colors make it click in my mind for some reason.
