msbelle, I'm in awe of you, honestly. It just amazes me, how well you deal with all this. And yes, I think you DO deal with it all incredibly well.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bev, I really liked the Sunset Dress [link] but I wasn't sure how it would look with flats. Maybe flat sandals?
Argh.
Formal gowns are so much easier. (And what does it say about me that I can be more comfortable in a formal gown than a simple dress?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, msbelle. I hope he takes the right amount of time before coming back out.
ZK, that paisley scarf dress will be cleavagalicious! Use it wisely!

Now here we're right in sync.
The last one that Bev linked is awesome. I could rock that, if it was precisely the right occassion. It feels a little OTT for what you're going for here though.

I also have a bad habit of being seduced by things that are pretty in theory, but perhaps not on me.

Beautiful colors and it's chiffon, which is perfect garden party material, but I'm afraid the print would overwhelm me.

Oh, msbelle. What everyone else said and I wish there was something I could do for you.

Yeah, I have to get the right undergarment for that one. And possibly a new body. It's gorgeous.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No such thing--with your dark hair and a lick of makeup you'd be fabulous.
Of course the purple one with the scarf could be formal very easily, but with another scarf or stole, something pastel perhaps, with light-colored flats and a wide-brimmed picture hat? Garden Party perfect.

I have that problem with shirtdresses. I love them...I love that style. But they do not look good on me at all.

Because books.
Barb, I think that dress would be PERFECT on you.
