Under Urooba's Umbrella: The "Prom" Post

*warning, image-heavy post.

Howdy, blogosphere!

Yes, folks, these are my "prom" pictures! The ones I'm supposed to cringe at when I'm, like, 50 [due to the fact I may have been sporting a horrendous-looking dress]. Well, I may not need to 'cause we don't live in the eighties! OH WAIT, MY DRESS ACTUALLY WAS FROM THE 80's.
(Here's a boring explanation as to why prom is in quotations: we don't call it prom here...we call it grad dinner/dance. But prom is shorter to type. I'm lazy. Go figure).

So, let's start with my outfit. After all, this is MY blog. Wouldn't want the limelight to be shining on anyone else, GASP. Blasphemous.

 Oh, look at me being all model-ly. [I'm posing in an alluring manner in Vancouver's Stanley Park].

ON ME:

• dress: vintage Alfred Angelo via Value Village, $30 (my gr'amma added the sequins, though!)
• sparkly heels (as seen on my last post): Value Village, $6
• sequined hijab (really just fabric bought from the local fabric store): $8 
• necklace: DIY

SO YES, MY PROM OUTFIT COST ME AROUND 44 DOLLARS. I'd say that's quite commendable. :D
[My mama almost made me buy a NORMAL prom dress from a NORMAL prom dress store, but I didn't let her.]

^The necklace I made. A little corny, cheeky fun never hurt a soul. [Look at me, using safety pins and whatnot. What a pro].

Yes, I know. Too gangsta fo sho.

And now, drum roll please...LET THE RANDOM PICTURES FROM "PROM" FLOW!

 Internet, meet my dumb sis. People think we're twins. Bah.

Group shot #1!

Blogosphere, also meet my BFF's in the daylight...

...and at night!

^In the party bus we rented--ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THE WHOLE NIGHT, absolutely.

The dance floor. LOL, I'm probably embarrassing some individuals right about now.

^Group photo numero deux!


Okay, phew. Bye, fellers!
