I remember, I had to cut out several pictures of dresses from the magazines so I could have a collection of "inspiration" dresses. LOL!
While the girls were in panic mode, the boys were just so cool, then. All they have to do is buy a necktie and a longsleeves and they were set.
My first prom dress looked like nursing uniforms. No offense but to wear that in a prom was tantamount to a lifetime of ridicule.
I burned all evidence that night. Hahahaha!!!
Anyway, I know better now and if I could suggest cocktail dresses to helpless teenagers, here are my picks from Net-a-Porter. Of course, they're just "inspiration" dresses. But if they could afford these dresses, then why not?
Paloma paneled silk-georgette dress
$345
One-shoulder silk-georgette mini dress
$385
Tiered satin dress
$425
Floral-appliquéd two-tone silk dress
$2,995
LANVINTiered-fringe silk-satin dress
$5,330
This reminded me of my own prom. And, I had the fugliest dress. For some reason, I wasn't keen on the prom and allowed my mom to decided everything. Can u imagine my horror when she showed up with a bright mint green dress with a huge bow on the waist side. I almost wished there was some nearby bridge I could jump from. Lol. I think I gave away that dress the day after..Hayy..memories..
ReplyDeleteMint green and huge bow? Woah! Hehehe. Maybe your mom wanted you to stand out that night! =)
