I'm turning twenty one this year and even being invited to a birthday dinner to celebrate a friend's twenty first birthday made me a nervous wreck. Honestly speaking, unless you have a figure of a model or a perfect M sized fixed, the whole jiggly 'fashion-designers-have-no-worries-dressing-themselves', you'd have a problem.
But why not make my own?
I had that thought but then, I had only three days and already one of the three is planned to be spent to look for a gift for the birthday boy. Plus, I guess I'm not the typical shopping kind of girl, I'm the type to curl in bed, grab a book and hot cocoa and indulge myself away in a dreamy weekend or any given spare time from studies or assignments. When my flatmate decided to go splurge at H&M, I tagged along to hunt for a dress.

Basic colors were my first choices, I don't wanna get a dress just for the occasion. I rather be able to wear them again after, even just for something casual or presentable presentation.
Then I went for these two, which became my final two choice. Polar opposites of it being long and demure or short and flirty. (Not that I wanted to flirt but I loved how the blue skirt twirllllll.)
A video to prove it. Ignore the audio though, I forgot what I was saying to my flatmate.
And this look made me look so mature than I already looked, I hated it. Hahaaha.
And in the end I ended up buying the one I didn't manage to take a changing-room selfie. Haha.
A printed poly-cotton dress with a full front zip.
Even without prior discussion, we ended up matchy matchy with the birthday boy (:
THE GIFT :
Endless burning and melting the cover with a needle so that the keys can hang on the invisible threads.
Color and glitter sprinkled cotton balls as puffy dreamy clouds.
And the jar is covered with a deco piece made of trinkets in shades of blue and white along with Doraemon cups as the birthday boy is a huge fan.
Finishing touches with a gold trimmed velvet ribbon.
I guess when it comes to gifts, the thought and sincerity put into the idea behind the gift is essential.
And I think it's important that the presenter is satisfied with the gift for the receiver to be able to like it to.
