Preserving College

FRIDAY = GRAD PIC DAY

Okay, so let me begin this entry with saying that I was a bit let down. Traditionally, our school takes 2 photos for our grad pics. One is the formal shot, with the toga and all...the other is the creative shot. I was already psyched to dress up as Barbie with the hot pink lips, blonde wig, and cute dress. However, we found out that the creative shot was no longer gonna push through. Instead, they offered the casual lifestyle shot, which was supposed to capture our casual daily life throughout college. Unlike the creative shot, no fictitious characters, conspicuous props or costumes were allowed. Perhaps having a chictopia and lookbook account made me quite unexcited...because I can freely express my personal style anytime I want to. :( Oh well...I just had to make the best out of it.

Here are my toga pics :)
Unedited toga pic that I chose

Should I have chosen this one instead?

As for my casual lifestyle shot...here's what happened

Outfit: Bodycon dress from Archive clothing; Draping top from cotton on; Stockings from Hipstop; Beret made by my mom :) ; Shoes from Prima donna

Help! Can't choose between this and the previous pic

A bit different.
Thankfully these three photos above turned out okay! But here's what I can say about the casual shots...a lot of poses were dictated by the photographers...and well a lot of them were very "commercial poses." I don't want to judge their taste or anything...I just found them to be un-me haha.

Awkward commercial pose 1


Awkward commercial pose 2 (oh no :)) )
I don't think I'll be posting all of those though :)) Kahiya (embarrassing)!!!.

Anyhoo...another thing I realized from all this is that...OMAGOLLY! I'm gonna be graduating soon (hopefully). I do pray that all goes well academically! I'm gonna miss college so much...my dear friends especially :(

Ai and Rae tandem: Pre-orsem to forever (yeees! Cheesy!!!) wahahah
