1950's

It's that time of year again. Cinderfella. Its an activity put on by the YSA in hopes that people will get married after being forced onto a date. You don't know who your date is until you walk into the gym. Freaky huh? For all you know, your date is someone you avoid or you could end up with a really hot guy. Well with my luck I'll get the creeper. Anywho, the only saving grace of this whole nightmare is the theme. This year it is a Decade theme. Couples dress from 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. I have the 1950s which I was first very pleased with. The 50s were an area where the hour-glass figure was the main highlight. That is me. After trying to find an outfit can I say that everything looks frumpy?! What the crap? I thought the 50's were classy and elegant not homely. I have spent so much time googling 50's fashion and going to costume rental places.

I originally wanted to go wearing a Poodle skirt, but then realized that every other girl wearing the 50s would probably wear one. And let's face it. Marissa dislikes doing the conventional, easy way. So I started my search.....

My next option was Marilyn Monroe. An idol of the 50's. However, I don't think the bishop would have liked this piece. But hey, bet I could have landed a few dates....

So then maybe a GREASE look but who really looks good in leather besides Olivia Newton John?!

So then the "housewife" look. Every hair in place, always perfect, has dinner ready, and is attentive to her husband's every move.... ya I want to send that message to these single mormon boys. A little too Stepford Wives.

Crossroads....do I do my original plan or do I think of something that will stand out? Ya I opted for the second too. So now I will be going in the classical pencil skirt w/ cardigan and heels look. Sexy, sophisticated, and unique...(hopefully a certain boy will like).....now if I can only figure out the hair.....
