Different date, every night

Formal shopping has been the biggest bitch in my life. I went to the city and Parramatta and thoroughly searched everywhere for my perfect dress! I realised how picky I am.. and I realised how insecure I was. No tits= limited options. And plus, cash pays a big play in this. My mum offered to spend whatever on my dress, but it's only PAL formal, and that formal isn't as elegant and fancy as other schools so my dress shouldn't be worth $1000 or something, but the dresses I've considered cost about $100+. C'mon, why is life is so expensive???
