The Moment When Your Debate Partner is More Fashionable Than You Are

Me at a tournament:
- 1980s black lint-ridden blazer borrowed from my mom back in the days when she worked in China
- 1980s leather heels with square fronts borrowed from my mom as well
- Old Navy simple white blouse
- Walmart formal pencil skirt
- Walmart black sheer tights
- Hair up in a ponytail that regularly falls down halfway through a round (I have no idea why my hair is so resistant to ponytails and updos)
- Glasses (enough said... although I admit they are quite stylish looking)
- Silver chain necklace with a jade ring around it as a pendant (my lucky charm)
- Minimal makeup (just some grey pencil eye liner, a bit of mascara and lip gloss and sometimes concealer under the eyes when I was up late prepping last night)

HL at a tournament:
- J Crew navy silk knit tie (uber-classy and costing about $25 - it took him like a whole week to agonize on whether to buy that one or this dog patterned tie - it's better looking than it sounds - with him finally dragging me into the decision and getting me to rate every single tie option he brought forth in an attempt to find the perfect tie for him. Oh my goodness, I spent less time buying my semi-formal dress than he did with this tie)
- Zara dress shirt
- Designer navy blazer fitted and tailored
- Designer navy slim cut trousers
- Silver cufflinks
- Really nice looking leather shoes which I don't know the cost to
- Skin care products which make his skin look flawless (he refuses to share the secret to perfect skin with me)
- Hair spiked up and swept over in this pretty trendy looking hairstyle, further adding to the k-pop air

All I can say about this is: "I'm supposed to be the dressed up one here" -_-

Oh well, if I have no chance of winning the fashion parade then at least I have my brains to rely on and hope for a judge who won't judge me too hard on my extremely outdated clothes. HL can more than make up for my lack of photogenic-ism with his K-pop star looks. XD
