Prom Dress

PHOTO! PHOTOS! PHOTOS! Did I mention to take some photos ? You will regret it if you don't capture the night to remember in the future. Vivian and I went in a limo with our dates and friends to prom together in 2010, and we look those fun classy photos all the time :) But the main reason why our photos looked sooo great was because of our dresses!! Vivian wore a unique and expensive Betsey Johnson dress, and I wore a classic ruffled dress that was on sale. So the answer is YES, you can still look gorgeous and spend under a $100 on your prom dress and accessories! Some key things to remember when dress shopping is to not buy anything too traditional, scandalous, or extra bejeweled. Also stay away from stores that you know everyone will go to, such as Windsor, Forever 21, or Macy's. Remember to look online before you go out shopping, if you haven't waited until last minute, and then check out all the local consignment stores and thrift shops. If you have been saving up for a dress, and do want to spend a large amount on it, still look online, and then go boutique shopping! Being unique, simple, making sure you can dance in it, and accessorizing it the right way is how your prom dress should be!!! You don't have to buy a long fancy dress, or be formal at all! As long as you make your casual or simple dress super fancy with your accessories, you can buy any dress really! The second photo is one I put together of dresses you can wear to prom, and how you can dress them up :)
