    Bridal Tea at wealthy OC home hosted by a pastor’s wife:

    I should wear something stupid, right?

    Like my halter Captain Marvel dress (with pockets!)

    Or my Hangry & Angry sweatshirt-sewn-into-a-tee-shirt dress (has no pockets, but if I tuck the sweatshirt sleeves inside out it looks like I do so I can drop random things through my dress straight onto the floor—like car keys or change from a cashier or something important probably)

    I mean, I have proper attire. I wear age & event appropriate clothes on the regular. I worked at a law office and wore tons of pretty dresses.

    But I should wear something lowkey stupid, right?

    Yes. Yes, you should. But act totally normal. They won't know what's going on.

    Hell yeah! Make it fun. Helps if you go as a pair with someone else wearing something slightly stupid. Wore bathrobes (somewhat ornate ones) to a formal affair a few years back with a couple friends of mine. No regrets. Never got so many free drinks in my life

    And always go with the pockets.

    If all else fails, just raid a ball pit cause if that is good enough
    and classy for the runway, then it has to be high fashion...right? :p

    That’s exactly the plan. I feel really good about this decision.

    I don’t know why clothing companies want us girls to go without them (I do know: it’s so they can sell more purses).

    I’m never happier with an article of clothing then when I discover it has functional pockets and I will wear it over every other article for that reason alone.

    I feel like haute couture is a bit of a different beast, but I do remember loving ball pits as a teenager. . .

    Seems bizarre to me that they lacked pockets in the first place, and for so long. Guess a former viewpoint finally dying off. Good riddance.

    You're probably right about the purses. What's funny is the company I work limits the technology for the lower models simply to sell the higher models to make a couple million more per sale. But if you know what you're doing, cheaper models are almost better...kind of the same concept. Limit one item to sell another.

    That sounds like the Apple business model〜♪

    Also, I think it’s because more women got into the top tiers of fashion design knowing what women REALLY want.

    I mean, the dumb but actually really cute comic based dress I mentioned is by a female designer who was a nerd sick of all the geeky IP was always only in young men’s clothing. So she started her own company so girls could be social outcasts too.

    And. Every. Single. One. Of. Her. Dresses. And. Skirts. Has. Two. Large. Pockets. That. Fit. Wallets. And. Phones.

    To not only to have functioning—not just fake “fashionable”—pockets but pockets large enough to fit a woman’s wallet and her phone without altering the silhouette or draping of the skirt.

    I bought the first item from that company because I was going to themed party, but honestly I feel like buying & wearing her clothes all the time just for the pockets.

    Do it! Those look great! No sense having to carry stuff that pockets could hold.

    I’m walking around a grocery store buying some preseasoned fish and other cooking things (plus giant karaage because I really want karaage cause this market makes it well) after my hair appointment

    And random strangers stopped me to say they liked my hair

    Yay haircuts~

    Update:

    Everyone was dressed schmancy casual, two people commented on liking my dress who already know me well, and the bride kept getting worried that she would have to open lingerie and almost had a panic attack after reading my card and realising my gift was coming

    She pulled out a deer onesie complete with tail, horns, and cute eyelashes.

    I looked her dead in the eye and said I told her I thought he’d be into some kinky stuff.

    She looked me dead in the eye and confided in me when the crowd dispersed she wasn’t returning it but actually plans to wear it on the wedding night with her lingerie underneath, mirroring an episode of Arrested Development.

    . . . she had already been planning on trying to find a cute onsie for the bit.

    This is very aesthetic. The call, the white dress against the fields. It feels like the Rivendell scenes in LOTR.
    Also, I love the way the cows stare at her after they come like "Yes, where's our food now?"

    Not to mention the randy cow at the end.

    Cows are very inquisitive. I was out camping once and failed to find a good spot before nightfall, so I dragged out my sleeping bag and dossed down under a big tree in a field. Next morning I woke up to a dozen or so of the things stood not twenty feet away, all staring at me intently. Gave me quite the start, it did.
