A Day in the Life

I've decided to create a collection of sets inspired by the style choices of characters in the book series 50 Shades of Grey.
 
This first set illustrates the first meeting between Miss Anastasia Steele and the Business Tycoon Mr. Christian Grey.

My best friend is edgy and satisfyingly classy. The blue represents how I am her foundation. I add to her strength and raise her when she is weak. I am everything her spouse cannot be.
 
The dress has a very bold, yet appropriate tinge. It is styled in a drape fashion, which offers a sense of sincerity and wist. The black shoes and accessories contrast the whiteness that pronounces the bride, my best friend, as she stands at the head of the aisle. It is her big day, not mine. And she should shine.
 
I'm just her supportive best friend.

Poetry and prose based on "If You Told Me To" by Hunter Hayes.
 
I also came to an "executive decision" in these past few days that I want to cleanse my wardrobe. I have clothes in there that I have worn since middle school, and now I am in college. Change has been a long time coming.
 
This was also inspired by the passing of my great-grandmother Felomina. She has become my fashion icon-- she remained fashionable, timeless, yet completely comfortable. I am inspired to live in her life, and a shift in my fashion sense is part of that.

I have come to the conclusion that my sense comes from 1940s and 1980s fashion mixed with Western. It's a stretch and very broad, definitely. When I think of it... it's like looking at a French Countryside home with bright blooming flowers in front.
 
If you have any suggestions for this style, please let me know!
 
Prose coming soon.

In two weeks, I will be traveling back to Phoenix from my university in Washington, DC. This is what I will be wearing. Comfy and easy to move in, while still fashionable with the skinny jeans. Also, HP shirt for a bit of flare.

1. Cliche: Pure as snow
2. Last line: And that is all.

I suppose I'm a simpleton... but I'd really just enjoy a bouquet of flowers and a happy-making note for Christmas!
 
My best friend is a major music junkie, so I would make her a mix tape.
 
Most of all, I'd just really enjoy a peaceful heart for Christmas. I've been going through quite a few growing pains lately.
