So through my time here at college, I have noticed at some points myself looking at others and feeling old. Now I am nothing near the term "old" yet when I see others still in high school I suddenly feel so old these days! But who am I kidding, I was literally JUST in high school. One of the things that kind of sunk in and made me feel old, is prom. There's no more proms for me! As lame as it sounds, I was a sucker for all things prom. The shopping, the planning, the whole night leading up to prom, and the night itself was my absolute favorite. I decided that although I'm too "old" for prom, I'd post a bit about it and maybe leave some tips! The top tip I have is despite being set on a certain style when shopping, TRY ON ANYTHING & EVERYTHING. Even if you are a mermaid girl like I was for 3 years, try on all sorts of styles! You literally never know what the dresses you think are terrible will look like on you and you just might be surprised! While I was shopping for my dream mermaid gown, I saw the big pink dress seen above and laughed at how obnoxious it was.. guess who ended up buying & wearing that dress to prom? When it comes to dress shopping, I notice many girls can't help but go with the same exact style that their friends are wearing. Their friends wear a mermaid, so they were a mermaid. (No hate towards mermaid dresses, they are actually my FAVE.) But you get the idea, so what I am trying to get at is be different! Choose a dress that will be an eye catcher and one many will remember! If you've got the best dress at prom, you best believe everyone will be complimenting you and what's better than a generous compliment? Another key tip to shopping is location, know your price range and go from there. There's a difference between shopping for a designer dress such as Sherri Hill and shopping for a dress in the mall. (No hate towards mall shopping!!) Simply, know what you're looking for to avoid wasting your time in stores that aren't going to have what you're looking for. I had great success at Von Maur, Raelynn's in Greenwood, and B.Loved in Seymour. My biggest thing I learned from the prom going I did would have to be that each and every girl has their own opinion on styles of dresses. What's hideous to you may be another girls dream dress! So simple never tell someone their dress is ugly, just save your opinions! You wake up and do your thing on prom day and give only compliments to other girls. No one likes the girl that puts everyone else down! Senior year I wore the biggest dress I have ever worn in my life. (The huge pink dress pictured above.) I was SO nervous for the longest time thinking that I would look so weird in this huge dress, due to the trend being tight dresses and two pieces, but I realized I was in love with the dress and was so going to rock it. The dress (to me) was truly beautiful and best of all....I had pockets put in, what beats pockets?! Best of luck to all of the prom goers this year!! Have so so much fun, yet be safe. Spend your prom day being full of happiness, positivity, and work that dress like no other. p.s. be sure to check out the pictures above, prom transformations are real people! xoxo, mackenzie
