 rearranged for flow, but I think everybody's in here ^_^ Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Desiree didn’t have to wait long for other people to show up. Charlie’s greeting got a big smile. “Hi, Charlie,” she replied, giggling slightly. “Of course! Is there any other way to go?” It looked like Charlie wasn’t the only person to notice her outfit. Between Professor Sayse’s compliment and Mouse’s approving nod, Desiree was practically beaming. She couldn’t resist a little twirl and princessy curtsey to show off her outfit from all angles.
“Hi, Mouse,” she greeted, returning the smile with one of her own, but her expression soon changed. Was it just her, or did her Ravenclaw friend seem a bit… anxious? “Everything okay?” she whispered.
Desiree was all smiles as more of her fellow Hufflepuffs joined. “Hey, Alfie. Hey, Keighley, Hey, Maria,” she greeted each of them with a wave. More waves soon followed for the other students she didn’t know as well (Aurora, Remy, and Giselle). There was no reason not to be friendly, and this was etiquette class after all. First rule of etiquette: ignoring people was rude!
Desiree listened carefully as Professor Sayse began the lesson. That question was easy! She was quite literally a walking example of a business casual outfit… or at least, she tried to be. The accessories she added might be a bit much. Her hand went up, and she said, “Might be on the dressier end of business casual, but what about a simple mid-length dress and blazer in a color that doesn't draw attention to itself?”
She smiled to herself as she listened to the others' answers, especially the younger girl who mentioned ballgowns and princesses (Aurora). Ooh, was she a Disney fan too? Come to think of it, did it have to be Cinderella's ballgown? If she was going to wear a Disney ballgown, she'd much prefer Belle's!
