today i bought a black cocktail dress.

with the dragon crew party coming up, i really wanted to show up in something snazzy but not too clubby or prom-y or casual. and i've never owned a so-called "little black dress" - so.. i went dress shopping! i spent pretty much the entire day at the beverly center and couldn't find anything anywhere that i liked. finally, while at macy's, i found a dress that looked interesting, but really had no idea if it would look good on, but i figured i had nothing to lose and it turned out to be a pretty awesome dress. and, here it is:

it's nowhere near as shiny as it looks in the photo above and, surprisingly, it looks much better on me than the mannequin.. but now that i have a dress, i'm even more excited for the party.
