Becoming the female costume for my school theater is quite possibly the best thing that's ever happened to me because now I can use it as an excuse for all sorts of clothes-related stuff

"Excuse you but I am an award-nominated costumer, I think I'm super qualified to give you fashion advice"

"Yes, I need to try on super expensive ball gowns in a super expensive store for... costume research purposes. Don't question my process."

"Hi I need to borrow your cute clothes for someone else's costume, please and thank you, bye!"

"You need help? Oh sure, what is it- manual labor? Outside? It could possibly get stains on my skirt? Um sorry I'm super busy in my dressing room, try asking the Australian exchange student!"

"Hey hey hey. Hey. Let's play dress-up! Wait no don't walk away I meant come try on an outfit or two or three for me. Because I'm experimenting. For a costume. For a show. It's completely professional. And not dress-up. Yeah."

The best thing
