All Dolled Up

I run my hands through my hair as I walk down the stairs. I had just finished drying and straightening it to absolute perfection. Usually, I didn’t worry so much about how I looked… but tonight was different.

“Dang, baby girl!” My aunt gawked at me. “Since when do you know how to seriously get all dolled up?!”

I laughed at my aunt. “I don’t know, I just picked it up. You like?”

I twirled when I reached the bottom of the stairs. I had on a pastel blue mini skirt on that swayed around my legs when I turned. I also had on a matching blue tank top under a deep v-neck white tee shirt. On my feet, I had a pair of white and blue wedged sandels. My hair brushed against my shoulders as I completed my turn and I smiled for my aunt.

“You look gorgeous!” She exclaimed. “And your make up is done wonderfully. I’m sure he’ll just love everything about you!”

I laughed again because my aunt knew I was worried about Tyler’s reaction. I grab my purse and head towards the garage as I said, “Let’s go then.”
