DO try this at home:
Put on your most light, airy, whimsical gown that romances with each step you take. Walk outside on a bright Fall afternoon, preferably at 2:30pm, just as school is letting out. Make sure your apartment is conveniently located next door to your city's highest ranked dangerous high school. Cops, traffic guards, and crowds of crews will always add to the allure.
Prance your princess gown up and down that street. Hear the roars! Gain levels of respect from the students. I mean real R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Whistling, screaming, laughing (with, not AT, right?!), sheer RESPECT for the dress. Throw back a devious grin and keep up the pace.
Thank God for my photographer, Kietrie, for her parental eye. I dared to step out of the house sans the white bodysuit, to no avail. She blithely questioned my look, "are you fully dressed?" Thanks to her suggestion, not only did the beautiful lean lines of the bodysuit compliment and enhance the look, but it kept me PG with the students.
Respectable, that is. Just like the dress.
