1.
First, you spend weeks convincing your parents to let you attend the formal.
2.
Then you try your best to avoid any kind of dance practice.
3.
Next, you start thinking about the whole formal dress situation.
4.
Because you've somehow got to find something that covers your arms.
6.
You have your heart broken by all the dresses that have material in all the right places, but are sadly, still not right.
7.
Then you find the perfect dress, only to realise it's completely backless.
8.
So, you consider designing your own dress because nothing seems to be working.
9.
When you finally do settle on the dress, finding a matching scarf becomes the next issue.
10.
And then the decision of how you want to tie the scarf for the big day needs to be made.
11.
You take a fire pre-formal selfie, before you've got your hijab on.
12.
And before you leave the house, you double and triple check you have the most important formal necessities packed.
13.
You embellish with a little too much bling and realise once you're on your way to the formal that your hijab is way heavier than normal.
14.
When you arrive, you make an extremely cautious exit from the car.
15.
And then low-key struggle through the outdoor photographs.
16.
But despite everything, you end up looking fly, and have the time of your life.
