Searching for a Kabaya

Lelly and I spent 3 days looking for an outfit for graduation.  After
hours and hours of walking around, we have finally settled on outfits
we like.

For graduation, we're supposed to wear a white kabaya with a batik
skirt.  Which means that it's a pretty formal occasion.  A kabaya is
a traditional top, generally lined with some sort of lace fabric.
Which, I'm usually not a fan of... But, I love it!  I decided to get
a kabaya designed when I have more time, and for now, just borrow one
from Iin. It's simple, but way cute! But I did find a great batik
skirt! It has bamboo on it! It's navy, but with traditional yellow
and browns in it. Hand beading carefully outlines the bamboo and
birds, and is fabulously coordinated with yellow beads! And the
bottom edge is scalloped. Cheap thrills, I can't help it!

Ladies get their hair and make up done.  Vine's hair stylist will
come at 10 AM to get started!  Graduation isn't til 5:30.  I'll
probably get there about 4 to help set up.  Hoping it doesn't rain
tomorrow. It's rained the past couple days.

Siapa mau latihan Bahasa Indonesia?  Hanya tiga hari yang belum
latihan dan saya sudah rindu itu!  It's like a secret language...
