Put on your best fit for this workshop, because we’re writing about a moment where we felt good about loved how we looked!

 

 

Source Material:

• When I Was Alive by Alice Notely

Prompt: 

Write about a time that you wore an outfit you really liked and felt good in — what did you have on: sweater, dress, (how did it look, what color was your outfit, what special details does it have)? Did you go somewhere special? How did you feel?
