Valentine's Day

So, y'all...

For the first time in the history of my entire eighteen years of existence, I have a date on Valentine's Day. 

As you know, I loathe Valentine's Day for the overwhelming consumerism that it spawns. Seriously, why the hell do I need to pay double for candy that you're going to sell for half off after the sacred day. Not only is the chocolate overpriced, but so is everything else. 

Don't get me wrong, there are aspects that I love about Valentine's Day. I mean first of all, I am a teenage girl who watches an excessive amount of Romantic Comedies. You could say I love love. But I mean I really do. However, I have never said "I love you," in a relationship. Ever. It's been said to me 3 times. I am not a terrible person, I just can't lie like that. 

I also love stuffed animals, mainly as bulk for my bed. I feel the need to be surrounded when I sleep. What can I say? I'm used to sleeping with a Great Dane. 

I HATE when people pay for me. Mainly because I don't like having a debt to someone. I mean, dates are like this weird thing where you willing let someone else buy you stuff as a sign of affection. I mean I do it, I buy the people I love stuff. I want them to know I care. But it's weird. I'm supposed to be the one that cares, not someone else. 

That being said, I've never had the double whammy of having someone pay for you and having it be the single most over-dramatically romantic day. 

It's a formal. 

A formal for a fraternity. So it isn't like red wine and fancy dinner necessarily. 

But it's still a Valentine's thing. And I have to dress up, which is not my favorite activity. Plus, I ordered four dresses and CANNOT for the life of me pick which one. It would help if Spool 72 wasn't the most amazing store ever. 

So here are the possible prospects for the evening.. 

Such sparkle. Much beads. Wow.

Such fitted. Many sequins. Wow.

Such boobs. Much studs. Wow.

Such color. Much sleeves. Wow.

I decided on the shoes...

Well, technically I chose my Steve Maddens, but these were a close runner up. They're actually super similar, except my Maddens are stilettos.

Then comes the makeup and hair... Much more difficult.

Hair is not my specialty. Luckily, however, it is my friend's specialty.

But what about my makeup? What am I even supposed to look like??

Simple-ish??

Or do I need to go all out?

Maybe even add some glitter?

I mean I guess I'll figure out. I'm slightly stressed. 

But hey, at least we're cute together, right?

As y'all know, none of these pictures are mine. Thanks online.

And Happy Early Valentine's Day!
