i dragged myself out of the bed , took a shower , did the most minimal toilette preparations i would allow ( blow dried hair , face powder , swipe of blush and mascara ) , put on a pair of white shorts ( that were strangely hanging way loose on me ) and a spaghetti-strapped top made out of gauzy material that was a random pattern of muted pastels , had a thin ruffle at the material that crossed at the bodice and another tiny ruffle adorned the hem .
