Pixie Dust [afternoon sorority meeting]

The girls had been handwavily notified to meet at Pixie Dust (with a handy map attachment included for anyone who might be too new to know where it was) for today's meeting. Because it would be bad to have a meeting and forget to tell people where.

"Hey, everyone! With Valentine's Day next week and the dance this weekend- and I hope you all stopped by the table and bought your tickets-" Annie was not above a shameless plug, no. "-and we thought we could spend today doing a little preparation."

Rilla nodded enthusiastically. Dress shopping was always fun! “Styles might have changed drastically from where or when you originally come from, but it never goes out of fashion to be tastefully dressed for a formal occasion.”

Which meant she’d be judging bare shoulders and a lot of knees showing, just FYI.

Right, don't dress like a strumpet. "So today we're going to spend time in the store, and if you need help you have plenty of support here," Annie went on. "Even if you're not planning on going to the dance and don't need to get anything, it's fun to just look around and try things on, right?"

“Right!” Rilla squealed. “And they have really good bargains in the back of the shop if your dollar doesn’t go quite as far as it did in 1914...”

Just to pull a year out of thin air.

Dorothy, her hand bandaged from yesterday's incident, couldn't help but marvel at all the fashion on display in the store.

She looked down at her own turn of the century dress and suddenly felt quite plain. She shook off the feeling quickly, however, and went back to marveling at the various dresses. She was almost feeling overwhelmed by it all.

And some of the dresses looked awfully short.

Anna wasn't a member of the sorority, which was why she was so surprised to see so many people at the shop when she arrived. Once she realized she'd stumbled into a meeting, she said to no one in particular, "Oh, but I--I just came to buy shoes. Is that okay?"

A sorority meeting that was actually a shopping trip? Hanna was so there!

Stacey already had a dress for the dance, but that didn't mean she couldn't browse... and maybe check out clothes for regular wear.

Annie was totally loving looking at the dresses, though she knew she'd have to stick to the sale racks. Also she was maybe looking aghast at some of the dresses she was pretty sure only streetwalkers wore.

"I'm mostly browsing today," Stacey said with a smile. "I have a dress already... unless I find something I like better, anyway."

One day Stacey was going to learn a valuable lesson about credit cards.

Rebecca basically had the perfect icon for this tried on a few dresses, keeping her disparaging comments about the fabric quality to a minimum, before finding one (http://www.promgirl.com/shop/dresses/viewitem-PD729279) that she was especially fond of.

So. Strutting for the mirror, then. Because she was productive.

"A Valentine's dance?" Rebecca asked, with a nose-wrinkle that was just a little contemptuous. "Really? Isn't that kind of... sappy?"

"It's red," she said, admitting, "Traditional, I know, but it's really cute. I'll just accessorize it." Oh god. "Are you still looking?"

Hanna considered that for a moment. "Probably red for the whole Valentine's theme. Or maybe purple, or black, or...everything?"

"Well, I haven't been asked," Dorothy said. "But I thought about still attending, just to see what it was like. I've never been to a school dance before. It sure sounds interesting."
