apologies for the wait, my partner's cat has been holding me hostage...
finally, the first official post of my fashion archive blog thingie!
my senior prom took place on 5.4.24.
it was pretty great. i enjoyed relaxing and dancing with friends, then chowing down later on at waffle house. this outfit represents my first time dressing conforming to my gender identity as an adult. it was a goal of mine to wear a suit for prom, which stemmed from a fleeting thought possibly during my freshman year.
i was responsible for a lot in my childhood, and finding and purchasing this outfit unfortunately wasn't an exception. so, although it didn't meet the elegant, colorful suits i compiled into an inspiration board on pinterest, it still made me feel safe and confident on an important day in my life.
my close friend at the time did my makeup for me, which was the first time I'd had it done; aside from childhood school plays. funnily enough, until we saw this picture our friend took, my boyfriend and i had no idea our ties made our outfits match :)
as i said in my previous post, the outfit was all thrifted. i still wear the shirt often, and as an enjoyer of punk, i mix up outfits with my small assortment of ties every once in a while.
i didn't look like a princess on my prom night, and i didn't look much like a prince either, but this outfit helped me celebrate myself. and, who knows? maybe i'll save looking like a prince for my wedding ;)
