dress: threadsence via delightful dozenbelt: gap, years ago
socks: courtesy of modcloth
shoes: chloe
this gorgeous dress came to me from tieka. with the dramatic draping on the front, there wasn't a need for colorful or excessive accessories. one of my favorite color combination is smokey grays and tan; there's just something so simple and classic about those two shades together. i pulled out almost all of the nude-colored accessories that i have; the first was this velvet elastic belt that i've had since i was uh, 13. it's adjustable (the only reason why it still fits) and i love the buckle on the front. the crocheted tights added another level of texture to the whole shebang; i slapped on these chloe sandals that i snagged on ebay. i've only just recently been able to wear them since the weather is warmer, and i'm surprised at how comfortable they are.
my demonstration lesson was today, and i have to say...it went really well! i don't want to get my hopes up or anything, but they asked me to email them my salary requirements and that they'd be in touch. they commented that i "controlled the class better than the normal teacher" and "an outsider would never be able to tell that they weren't my students." after the last lesson, i really worked hard and prepared myself for today, so i feel that some gratuitous horn-tooting is in order (just a little). nothing is definite yet, but i've passed the next step! i feel so much better now, particularly because i was so disappointed with my performance last time. it'll probably be a couple of days before i hear back from the school, i'm trying not to get my hopes up in the meantime.
