First about my dress. I bought this vintage prom beauty from Selina a while ago, actually a quite long while ago, but I wanted to wait till the right time for showing off this cutie. I love the tight black body combined with the oh-so big ruffle skirt. The skirt has some kind of polkadots on it, only these are squares, not dots. I felt great in it! And even my dad thought the same way and couldn’t stop saying how good it looked on me! Yes, my dad!
Today was the day of my fashion show in Sittard. This morning I forgot the time had changed, it was an hour later than expected, so I got up at 10:00, instead of 09:00. Problems. I didn’t have the time to do my hair, and just clamped it together, and some other things I still wanted to do couldn’t be done.
I was happy to have those kind (and tall) models (though one didn’t show up, but it worked out well finally), but I really need to prepare myself better the next time. The models did really well, very nice girls, but because it was my first show ever, some things went wrong, but that was my fault. A big thanks to my models, again! Though, it was a good experience, and like I said I can only get better, I learned a lot of today.
My dad couldn’t really shoot some good pictures, so I’ll have to wait till the photographers put those on a website. There were some really good fashion shows, but hey, those were from Fashion Design students. I didn’t really think it was fair that the limit was set at ’18 years old’ instead of ‘high school’, as that would definately be more fair, because I as a 16 year old was now competing against some real Fashion students.
Isn’t this picture a bit Princess of (Punk?)Rock or something? Haha. Promdress and a biker jacket, I think they look great together. By the way, I went ‘all’ black because my models’ outfits were all very colorful.

That dress and the leather jacket combo is great! And I like your idea to go all black against the model’s colorful outfits.

Het was gister echt super leuk. Wel jammer dat je niet bent gewonnen. (de uitslag staat op site van kunstbende).
31/03/2008, 12:52Ik vond alle kleding écht supermooi en ook jouwn outfit!
Robin says:
Ik vond gisteren jouw kleding echt supermooi…inderdaad jammer dat je niet had gewonnen…Ik vond kleding van andere deelnemers soms meer iets voor carnaval…En heel veel hadden echt een complete dansact..Ik dacht echt zoiets van : hallo het gaat om de kleding niet om de het dansen..!
31/03/2008, 13:26susie_bubble says:
Glad you got such a lovely buy from Selina!
31/03/2008, 13:40Natasha says:
You look just beautiful! That dress is perfect.
31/03/2008, 13:42Renée Sturme says:
Thank you all guys! I really love to hear those great comments!
@Robin: Ik wist dat ik niet ging winnen, ik bedoel ‘hallo, modestudenten’, maar het was evengoed een leuke ervaring voor ons allemaal ;)
31/03/2008, 15:04Ik vond het wel een beetje overdreven bij sommigen ja, die complete dansacts. Schrijf je dan gewoon in bij Dans, toch? Het gaat uiteindelijk toch echt om de kleding, en die viel bijvoorbeeld echt weg bij die groep met zwarte jurkjes, dankzij de hele show. Ik bedoel het niet verkeerd, ben niet jaloers ofzo, maar zoals ik zei, schrijf je dan in bij dans.
Tanya says:
Supergaaf! Die jurk staat je echt onwijs mooi :)

my expression “gothic ballerina” was a compliment…hope you didn’t take it too bad.
31/03/2008, 19:02But you really don’t look like a gothic ! :D
Renée Sturme says:
I understood ;) Thanks.
31/03/2008, 19:25Evelien says:
Ik ben erg benieuwd naar de fotos! Je gaat ze hier wel posten toch?
31/03/2008, 20:55Je ziet er ook weer geweldig uit trouwens :D
Renée Sturme says:
Ja dat doe ik, als er wat foto’s te vinden zijn. Dankje ;)
31/03/2008, 20:58Anna Pope says:
That is an awesome dress, and I love how you’ve added the pearls and the leather jacket to the look, two complete opposites that go so well together!
And you should wear your hair like that more often because it looks adorable on you :)
01/04/2008, 07:17Marjolein says:
Ahh supermooi! Helemaal niet gothic-achtig vind ik :) Juist een beetje sjiek, maar door het leren jack wordt het geheel weer stoer!
