“I only found one thing. But I suppose it’s better than nothing.”
Zelda looped the pink dress over her arm. Everything rose was just not in her style. But then she saw a purple and white number that was much fancier than her every day attire. The square neck was modest but still elegant. The skirt was hemmed in a pearlescent thread, so the knotted floral pattern disappeared and reappeared based on the lighting. She avoided beautiful formal attire usually because such things reminded her of formal occasions with her father. But this. This was stunning.
“Actually I take it back. Now I have two.”

"To... the changing room?" Namine asked.
She had picked up a few other things. Some cute shorts and easy pants. Some soft looking shirts in light blues and teals. Namine was going for a full wardrobe refresh. It would be costly, but much needed considering her current state of affairs. At least now, she didn't have to duck her head in shame when passing the other girls on their floor since they were all so well dressed. Or at least cute.

“Yes.”
Clothes in hand, Zelda trailed off, keeping pace so that her roomie didn’t get swarmed any more. Namine had gone for softer colors that reminded Zelda of the ocean. She wasn’t much of a fashion expert, but any colors that made blue eyes pop wider was a good call. She requested the room from the harried wither who counted her items before giving her the number. The dressing rooms were not the bathroom latch kind. Instead, they were closed off by thick curtains. Each enclosure was brightly lit with the full length mirror.

"You will let me treat you to lunch, right? You're helping me so much!"
She followed Zelda into the change room with her own clothes and took the stall next to hers. She still wasn't sure if she liked what she had picked up, but she decided to treat this like one of her drawings. A pop of color. A bit of brightness in her life. Something to make things a bit more interesting. She owed it herself to make things a bit more exciting for herself. She drew the curtain shut before hanging up her findings.

“So long as I get the tip!” Zelda chimed in.
After hanging up her variety of outfits, she paused. Oh which one to start with? Having lived in jeans ever since she came to Hero High, it was tough to know where to even begin. She had a spectrum to choose from. The only color not in the room was white. Namine didn’t need a Single White Female situation to happen.

Namine started in the plaid dress with the stars. She stared at herself in the mirror once the dress was on. She stepped out of her stall to look in better light to see if this was something she liked. It was a lot darker than anything she had ever worn before. However, it had a skirt worth twirling in. She bit her lip, debating if this was something she could see herself in. Not like she could draw and find out.

Zelda studied her options carefully. Go with the ones she liked the least and continue down the line? Or get the ones she liked the best over with so it wouldn't accidentally get put back in? She pulled out the pink dress...only to see it wasn't a dress at all, but a blouse. Well, it would provide a nice pop of color to her already one note color wardrobe. She also remembered the white vest that came with it. Putting it on, she felt entirely different, but not in a bad way. ![](https://64.media.tumblr.com/05c611abc18861058f38afe861b40abd/tumblr_ncgv1msYOq1sanieno1_1280.png)

Namine stepped back into her changing room. She wasn't sure what the social etiquette of trying on clothes, especially with friends. Not that she had many. She was still questioning this tentative friendship with her roommate, mostly with her own insecurities wondering if she wasn't mucking everything up. But deciding, she would get the dress, Namine moved onto something else. It was an off the shoulder sweater with a pair of comfy jeans. With deep pockets. Namine's dresses never had pockets before. "A-Are you finding anything, Zelda?" she asked. ![](//storage.proboards.com/7275096/thumbnailer/NnApeggBnZ0xuKOvjCbb.png)

"I'll come out in my next look. And then I can see your look afterwards." Zelda wrestled herself from the pink top and hung it up as carefully as she could. She'd try it on later just to double check if she liked it or not. Or even better, if Namine liked it. The next outfit met her. The purple, white and gold dress. She slipped it overhead, unsure of her reflection. If she had brown hair as opposed to blonde, it might look better, but who was to say except for Namine. She adjusted the skirt once more to ensure that it covered everything nicely before stepping out. ![](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/18/ea/b8/18eab83c5a8ccba805bc89b1c8c8500f.jpg)

Namine decided that Zelda didn't need to see something as boring as jeans, so she swapped the jeans for a pair of shorts and thigh high leggings that had a cat face on the knees. Then she stepped out to show Zelda what she had compiled. It looked cozy, and certainly felt cozy. She gave herself a shy smile in the mirror. The outfit was cute. And certainly a lot more stylish than the simple white dresses her wardrobe consisted of. She would either donate those or... maybe she'd dye them? Turn a few into tank tops or skirts. There were options aside from throwing the whole thing away.

As Zelda stated at her reflection in the far off mirror, she heard the door to Namine’s dressing room open. Her roommate was swathed in a comfortable sweater with a pleases expression. Truth be told, it was the most comfortable Zelda had seen Namine be. “It looks so comfortable! And you could do so much with it.” Namine did have an artsy side. Maybe translating to fashion would be the next logical step.

"And purple is actually really cute on you!" Namine said.
Namine shyly tucked some hair behind her ear and smiled. She was so glad they were both finding things they liked. She counted herself lucky to have gotten such an understanding roommate. Zelda might not have known everything in Namine's past, but she Namine wanted to draw. Mostly for the sake of drawing and inspiration, rather than what visions she could see with whatever she drew.
"I wouldn't have had enough courage to go through with this without you."

“I never had anyone that I felt comfortable doing something like this with me.”
There had been Link, but, of course with his mutism, it was hard to tell whether or not he liked an outfit or not. Then there was the debacle of the rich girls syndrome. Zelda did know people her age, but they wanted nothing to do with her. Lots of talk of her being “too odd” or “keeping to herself” meant that the social circle was nonexistent. Namine was changing that.

Namine wanted to say that Zelda was practically the first friend that she had since grade school but felt that it might make things weird. Or put too much pressure on Zelda. Instead, she smiled, shyly twining her fingers through her hair. It was nice to get out and do something normal teenagers did. She only hoped she was doing it right. She only had movies and books to base her interactions off of.
"Thank you for coming with me."

"I'd be happy to do this again. Of course, when we feel the need to. Lock me in a bookstore and I'd spend my monthly allowance in one day."
She laughed. It was a bit of self deprication, but it was the truth. Anywhere she could precure the best knowledge was where she felt the most comfortable, and there, prices didn't mean anything. It was part of her collection and it was hers. She'd read it or download it eventually. Clothes shopping was a different beast, and it did help that Namine was just as new to it as her.
