and into week two

Last week felt like it lasted a month. It ended with the Reformation banquet and the giving out of the grades, a momentous event greeted with great cheer or weeping, depending on how well you studied for finals.... I did fine.

The highlight of the event was my thrift store find: the red formal I've been searching for since forever. And, much to my joy, it was for mere pennies. Mrs. Menadier, aka the Wizard, did some alterations and then twisted up my hair. Below is the result (taken by local paparazzi, hence my bemused expression).

The dress was floor length, solid wine red. Very lovely, if I do say so myself. I love red. It makes me happy.
