I'm looking at my sister and I realize that my sister is looking across the aisle, not at the dresses, but at the suits and at the blazers.

And I'm like, oh, shit.

I have to... I'm doing the wrong thing.

So I put down the dress I'm holding and I walk over and I'm like, do you want a suit?

And finally I see this little glimmer in my sister's eyes and I get a nod, a nod, finally.

So...

I'm thinking about it, and I'm having a little dilemma because I know that our mom gave us money for a dress, and our mom's expecting a dress, and our mom is very traditional.

And so if we don't go home with a dress, who knows what can of worms that'll open or what conversations we'll have to have.

But this is still my big moment, so I get to thinking.

And we run to the discount rack, and we find this very simple, plain dress that's, like, white at the top, black at the bottom.

It kind of looks exactly like a suit, almost like it was put here for us.

And it costs, like, very little money.

So I pick that up, and I'm like, how's this?

And I finally get a nod.

And so then we run across the aisle to the suits and the blazers, and now we're having fun.

And we're trying on blazers, and...

I'm like brushing off the shoulders and I'm giving all this advice that's like based on nothing where I'm like, oh, your shoulders can't look like that.

They have to look like this.

And I sound really smart, even though I'm not.

And we find the perfect suit.
