The Birthday Dress




This 2nd December 2012 I turned 25 and could hardly believe I reached quarter a century. As a child I dreamt my the time I am 25 I would be working for a great company and going for dates with men who are big in the industry. My thoughts would be like a grown up woman. But turns out people still feel I am in school and look 20 (which is a good thing) and I am still a chubby. So this 25th Birthday I was not feeling grown up already so I was inspired to make a Princesses Fiona dress. I have always been a big Disney Princess fan and had posters and merchandised things even in college. My room was pink and lavender too. Except Princess Fiona because I thought we are too similar and my husband would always be a Shrek. Turns out I married a really Orge haha no offense to my husband. Hope you all this dress it was pretty simple . The dark green velvet fabric looks elegant even the dress from gone with the wind is something I adore made of the same fabric in a 70's style though. I crochet the green head band that you see. If you want to know how I crocheted it leave a comment. I am going to wear it for St. Patricks Day too. I think evey girl should own one Disney character's dress it simple makes your wardrobe complete.

Messed up Generation

I feel our generation of 20's people right now are so messed up. Was talking to a guy friend after so many days and seems like yet all over again he is having problems in his relationships. His so called EX is coming back in his like telling him she loves him and not her current boyfriend (who she is going to marry soon). And what the motto of saying that she doesn't even want to be with him. I mean this is so torturing and illogically. Ever since I was 18 years that our generation is not the one that is straight and painless. Everyone around me was caught up in some over loaded baggage on their shoulder. And this thing of always being in a dilemma spread like a virus. If you didn't have a problem in life you felt out of the pack. Parents having great expectation, losing virginity and not admitting it, having the pressure to make it big in life, always having a true love person secretly hiding in your heart, daddy issues, mommy issues, entrance exams to get into the best university in the United States, and the list in endless. So many learn to live with it and even more crib living with it.
There are the smart ones who come out of it by making a big career, and some by getting married. I am the latter example. And some of my closest friends are the former ones. And we both feel the grass on the other side is greener. I feel my side is greener generally because when you have your personal relationships sorted you can focus without getting disturbed about the changing weather in relationships. And the psychologists and counselors are our resort if ever life gets too tangled. Looks like we have to find the best less worse solution to our problems. Haha!
